Don't know it all!! If my car has a canned tune, the same you could have, and my car breaks and yours doesn't, what could be the explanation? My tuner has been in the game for a looong time and his "tune" didn't break the car. Something is wrong that the part failed. A little more background info. The 5.0 was a couple of months late to the party. The production was backed a couple of months.... Does anyone here know why??? I do. U.A.W. workers striked, after returning to work a small group of disgruntled workers sabotaged around 6,500 engines, what did they do you may ask. They installed ring up side down on cylinders 7 and 8. Now this may not be true, but it was leaked by a Ford employee. So maybe this can explain why some fail and some don't. All I'm saying is that something isn't right. Just because I have a street tune, Steeda CAI and mid pipe back exhaust making 402rwhp, my car shouldn't have had a problem.
No. It. Can't. They can totally deny your warranty claim, but they can not BY LAW void your warranty. They simply make a note in the ford oasis system under your vin that there were aftermarket parts on the car at the time of service, and that they suspect those parts to be the cause. Nothing is stopping you from taking the car back to stock and taking it somewhere else for service. Its really at the service managers discretion. There is and never has been any instance of a warranty being voided. Again, thats against the law, but they can deny your warranty claim on said part. No voiding needed. And I didnt type the quoted text from my post dumbass.
Just out of curiosity, where can we find the build date on our cars to see if they were an early run?
On the door tag inside your Drivers Door Jam. Upper left hand corner will have the month and year.
Thanks. Mine was built 5/10. That would seem to be an early build.:shrug:
I can totally understand where a lot of you are coming from, but honestly how many 05-10 4.6L cars have you read about that broke due to a cai/tune combo. I'm guessing not many if any at all. I believe the facebook page being referred to is the main Ford Motor Company page.

Not a current year, but they have not changed much

Ahh. Found it. Dunno who his tuner is but it was tuned.
Gotcha beat. 4/10 rofl.
Good, then yours should blow up a month before mine giving me fair warning.:-D
Still wont stop me from modding the car and tuning it soon. If something happens I'll just suck it up and fix it.
