My dealer won't install Ranger Raptor 3.0l Ecoboost Performance Calibration

Unless you’re rich and don’t care about voiding your warranty, sure.
Please don’t give terrible advice like this

I can’t find one instance where the warranty was voided by installing it yourself. Please share.

Highly doubt you’ll see any direct instances of this happening… Don’t mind the trolls on here.

First of all what do you and I really know about this? Where would you "Haven't heard of any instances" that are in fact true?" These responces "disclaiming" what is to be the known situation whereby only a certified shop or Ford dealer install will be warranteed are annoying and a waste of my time and yours.
Once again, like I said, I don't want to be the guy that has to have that battle when/if something does go wrong. Be righteous doesn't win that battle-

I installed it on my 2.3 this week. The dealer was going to make it much more complicated (and expensive) than it needed to be. Willing to take the risks and have my doubts they will ever even know it was installed. Extremely simple and wow what a difference it makes.

You realize that it is registered to you VIN, they already know.

Everything leaves trax, I had my dealer push to load for $75.00. My last one I did the livinoise tune, I even had the programmer on the window mount in the truck, dealer could not of cared less. They get paid by ford to repair your truck, no skin off their nose.

You clearly don’t know my dealer.

My understanding is the tune is registered against your VIN. It is required to download the tune and is locked to your VIN. If your dealer has a way of circumventing the process you are lucky. Your warranty will not be impacted.

I visited my dealership last week and presented the questions on who should install the FP Tune and how it affects the warranties. Picked up my Ranger Raptor Wednesday and this is the information I received based on information the dealership collected. The FP Tune does NOT affect the 3 year or the Extended vehicle warranty (Assurant is the extended warranty provider here).

I was given the OK to install the FP Tune after meeting with the Service Advisors and Sales Manager and was assured there would be no impact on the warranties. Yes, the dealership has a Tune Tech and has done Tunes before. This was my experience and I am not saying the dealership is right or wrong. I am guessing there are different answers to this question based on what dealership you ask.

Here’s my take: The risk is in the install. If you screw something up you need to reflash and that’s not warranty issue. The tune is the tune. It is software endorsed by ford and you can’t change it. if you install the Ford endorsed tune correctly you’re good. My dealer dgaf.
