As much as I want to pull the trigger on this asap, I too am going to wait for confirmation on if this will void the powertrain portion of my ESP. I've got a 10 year 100k mile ESP and don't want to see the powertrain portion null/voided due to this "Modification." I rolled the dice on my Focus ST with a Cobb Tuner and had zero issues, but knowing that things are quite a bit more expensive to repair these days, especially on a RR versus a Focus ST, I'm going to wait for clarification lol.

I’m with you on this one. People are still debating whether it’s covered or not but I’m not sure why when it’s already been stated explicitly by Ford directly just like with other performance tunes they have offered and they’re treating this tune just like all the others. Why wouldn’t they? Not sure how a dealership’s answer would make a difference. Dealerships are wrong half the time about all types of things. Do your due diligence folks and read the documentation from Ford and Ford performance. It’s all in the writing.

I have been fortunate to have had a lot of high performance vehicles. Once you get above 4-500hp, you can’t really appreciate or exploit them much on public roads day to day unless you don’t care about loosing your license. Plus, you’re very traction limited on a vehicle like this anyway so it’s not really useful. Nice bragging rights I guess but really doesn’t give you any extra usability and causes more wear and tear. You have to pay to play so hell yeah. Send it if you want to. Haha. It’s still the best option.

According to Ford Performance from an email this morning;

RE: 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor Performance Calibration

Good morning Jeffery,

You are able to purchase the tune from any Ford dealership as well as any of our distributors, as long as you do not live in California. The tune is still waiting to be approved due to the CARB regulations there, so we do not offer the Buy It Now button for that reason.

Thank you,

Just received a response from Ford Performance regarding warranty question. OEM Warranty is intact and so is the extended warranty purchased by the owner. The warranty is for the tune from Ford Performance. Just like I posted before…………..🫵

RE: 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor Performance Calibration;

Hello Jeff,



Q:1. Does it reduce the entire OEM warranty to 3years/36,000, including a reduction: removal of the 5 year/60K power train warranty?

Q:2. Does the tune not affect this portion the warranty?

Q:3. Is this simply a warranty on the product (Tune) and doesn’t affect the factory warranty, keeping it intact?



A: 1,2,3… Installation of Ford Performance tunes such as M-9603-REB30 does not reduce or remove your Manufacturer powertrain warranty from Ford. You will still maintain your factory coverage.

However. The installation of any aftermarket parts can adversely impact any potential manufacturer warranty claims that are made related to or caused by that specific aftermarket part/kit installed. To cover any occurrences where that could be the case, Ford Performance Parts offers a 3 year / 36,000 mile Limited Warranty from the in service date of the vehicle when a Ford Performance Kit with warranty is purchased, installed, and registered as directed. If a manufacturer warranty claim is not related to the installation of a Ford Performance Parts kit (in this case a tune) then normal manufacturer warranty applies.



Q:4. What about those who have a Ford extended, paid customer owned warranty, does it affect this warranty as well? Will it null a void this warranty all together?
A:4 We at Ford Performance can only comment on our Ford Performance Parts Limited Warranty and how it interacts with the Ford Manufacturer Warranty.

If a customer has concerns regarding any extended coverage they may have purchased, they should read their contract and contact their Agent to understand how the installation of aftermarket parts, such as Ford Performance Parts, affects their coverage.


Q:5. So, either it’s a OEM warranted Ford product or it’s not, which is it?
Q:6. Is the warranty from Ford or Ford Performance?

A:5&6 The Ford Performance Parts Limited Warranty is a plan offered by Ford Performance Parts, which is a department within Ford Motor Company. It is specific coverage for the Ford Performance Part and should not be confused with the Ford Manufacturer Warranty.


For more information, I would recommend reading our Warranty documentation linked below…

I hope this helps answer your questions.

So, cutting thru a couple individuals garbage, previously mentioned and speculated about; above are the answers ^ from no less than a Ford Performance supervisor. Enough said!

Still waiting on response from Ford Warranty Division and my Dealership General Manager. Post it when it’s received. So, this provides the necessary information for those who are interested in purchasing, specifically regarding warranty information and what it applies to!

I hope that means itll be released after approval. Someones gotta keep us up to date on this.

Why is there such a fuss about warranty? Does no one work on their cars anymore?

Give me a 500+ tune and I'll void the warranty right now

 

[Clark.W.Griswold]

The Ford Performance warranty reads to me similar to the DINAN warranty for BMWs.

If you have a failure in the first 36 months/36K miles, and it can be attributed to the Ford Performance tune... then the Ford Performance warranty will cover you. If you have a failure and it can NOT be attributed to the tune, then the Ford Factory warranty will cover you.

If after 36 months/36K miles you have a failure and it can be attributed to the Ford Performance tune... then you are NOT covered. If you have a failure and it can NOT be attributed to the tune, then the Ford Factory Warranty will still cover you (and I assume this would be the same for the Ford Extended Warranty).

 

[PONTOY]

Ok, dumb question, new to the forum, so go easy on me.

Is it possible this would be included in 2025 RRaptors, or just be included as a factory upgrade/option? Curious because I'm waiting for 2025 order bank to open so I can pull the trigger (not that this will change my mind, was just wondering).

hope this helps

Exactly. I brought this up before and actually specifically mentioned the Dinan tune as another example. All the same applies here.

At this point, I'm not sure if this thread is about getting more horsepower or War&$!#%

 

[OH3Cobra]

Does anyone have the math skills to figure out the differences in 0-60 and 1/4 mile with the tune? Would be interested in understanding the difference.

Now we are talking. It must be because we own redfire cobras. Me, owned. no more cobra


Perhaps if I get exhaust/intercooler upgrade, maybe It makes more .

 

[mperezkr]

I say .2 off 0-60 and .3 off 1/4
