[QUOTE="Blk04L, post: 16282402, member: 48574"] More than likely any expensive fix, like a new engine due to a failure of a rod/piston would have tech/inspector come out and check over ECU readings/the engine before approving an repair/replace. For a Ford backed warranty or some 3rd party. Especially if you have rod/piston damage on a "stock" car. Hell, Ford sent out a engineer for my 3.5L Ecoboost Explorer due to oil leaking from the head/block area. Were trying to see if they could pin it on the truck overheating and get out of paying the bill. Took them a week+ to find out I didn't abuse the truck and approve the rebuild. The lead engine mechanic was wanting a new engine(forgot if it was a new short or long) but got shot down. Newer cars have so much tech to help dealerships see if a car was tuned or not. No longer in the early 2000's where it was tougher to know. In Dodges IIRC the computer makes a note whenever the PCM is ever removed. You can't clear that code. [/QUOTE]
