You get a specific warranty from FRPP for the duration of your initial 3/36. So you go to FRPP instead of Ford for any warranty work to any parts that are related to the tune that would otherwise get denied by Ford.
No, they only offer a 3/36 warranty and starts the day the car was first purchased. So if you buy and install this tune to your car say a year after, you only really get 2 year or so of warranty. After that point, you're back to using the orignal 5/60 powertrain warranty which may or may work if they determine the tune was the cause.
Yes to the first part, but no you don't lose the 5/60. No tune will ever completely void your existing warranty, at worst you may have warranty claims denied if they can prove the tune was the cause.
That is my plan too.
I believe you are correct. However you won’t officially lose the 5/60 drive train warranty, but you are at risk of ford denying a claim. To me that pretty much means any fairly critical mechanical issue would most likely be denied(especially anything wrong with the engine itself.. and maybe trans, etc because the engine is putting out more power)
To be fair, and to clarify, it seems that Ford will be more *lenient* towards cars that have the FP tunes compared to other 3rd party or unknown tunes. I've spoken to a few dealerships and even called the Ford Warranty hotline and they said that if you need major warranty work but you have proof of the FP tune and it being installed by an SAE mechanic then you should not have any issues with getting claims through. Now if they can't verify what tune is on there, then they will go through all means possible to deny the claim and they have pretty stringent bulletins on this procedure.
