Nah, they may have finally added a flash counter for 2024, but I'm pretty sure for prior years the only thing that's telltale you were tuned is either showing up with the tune, or if they look at key cycle counter. If your 50k mile car shows up with a blown engine and a key cycle count of 3, you're cooked.This CAI upgrade system also includes a tune and it stinks for us ‘22 GT owners because if we installed it then Ford can easily tell the ECM program has been altered. This could potentially void our Powertrain warranty. My next service for oil change I know the dealership will install a PCM program change due to a recall notice they mailed me regarding a low brake fluid warning program change, if any non OEM “tune” program history is found in my car then my Powertrain warranty could be voided at that point. Heck, even Roush don’t offer their CAI w tune part number w 3 yr/36k warranty isn’t offered for ‘22 GTs.
Because of this I’ve narrowed my search to only “no tune required” CAI’s that won’t void Ford Powertrain warranty. Roush does offer one for ‘21 GT that works with OEM mass air flow meter (but does have an inner smaller diameter air tube which can be removed at any point to run the larger diameter tube that requires a different MAF meter and tune to pick up max hp increase). JLT has one also and both claim no codes will be tripped and 10-15 hp increase. Liking the Roush system better right now but having ability to tune later when my Ford warranty doesn’t matter to me any longer
Some people don't seem to get the reason why Ford still has V8 muscle cars and nobody else does is because they meet emissions requirements with the 5.0.
what part don't you understand?
Every time you push the start button and the key handshakes with the bcm and pcm it increases the counter by one. Flashing resets this.
