[QUOTE="Myfast70, post: 13188334, member: 136812"] My intent was not to commit "Fraud" as I have no intentions of modding my car at this point and until the warranty is up for that matter. I have seen way too many people bring their car in for one issue not even remotely related to the tune and get denied for warranty coverage. I have a buddy that's a tech at a Ford dealership and he said the first thing they do is plug in their computer to see if the car has been altered, if it was, no coverage. With him being a buddy, coverage wouldn't be an issue for me. I would like to do a gear swap in the future but the only way to change the computer is to install a "tune" which will void your warranty should you ever have an engine issues. I don't like the idea of having to "tune" my car (even though I think they just change the ratio?) just to do a simple hear swap, so like I mentioned my car will remain stock. I know Van has mentioned something about the Lund tunes and disabling the cat temp protection. Well when you read the Ford catalog they specifically state that is the worst thing to do. As smart as John Lund with his tuning he cannot replicate the scenarios that are done by Ford. I saw this link posted below in another thread and it does make a lot of sense to me. Until for comes up with a "tune" for my car, I will be holding off. [url=http://www.emagcloud.com/FordRacingCatalogue/Ford_Racing_Catalogue_Web/index.html#/152/]Ford Racing Catalogue Web[/url] I have now seen 3 Lund "tunes" first hand in person here in Az that do not work correctly because of our climate and conditions that only Ford can replicate. Now if Lund was personally out here with his laptop and ass parked in the passenger seat then I would be a lot more accepting of his "tune". [/QUOTE]
