Chipwerke for 2017 Ecoboost

[mmacfn]

I’m ordering one today for my 2018!

We would NEVER promise a certain horsepower increase unless we have done the Mustang dyno testing ourselves. We borrowed a (non-Raptor) 2017 ecoboost for a couple weeks and had our way with it, including strapping it onto the dyno at Full Throttle Kustomz in Fillmore, CA.

Since the base F-150 and the Raptor have different horsepower metrics tuned and stock, I would amend your web page to clarify that the 87hp increase was for the normal ecoboost and not the H.O.

Bare with me, Pedal Commander is in the middle of registering as a supporting vendor. Once that has been done, I'll be happy to continue discussion and answer any questions.

Thanks!

Interesting conversation.


Here is the question.

Chipwerks makes the claim right on their website that it does not void warranty. If this was not true then you could sue them for false advertising.

Has anyone seen disclaimers stating otherwise ?

Please hold while we screw over our vendors in the pursuit of Raptor Tax.

Watch a youtube interview they did. They said the same thing about not voiding the warranty but in the same breath they said to remove their devices before bringing your vehicle into service at the dealership. That seems reassuring.....

I think with any performance mod, you have to assume some risk. Some dealers are more forgiving but sometimes you will find them to change their tune if something expensive and hard to get by Ford comes into play.

It most definitely voids your warranty! That's why they tell you to remove it before taking it in for service so you don't get caught using it.

In and of itself, the pedal commander doesn’t “void the warranty” in as much as any systems not affected by the unit is still covered. What exactly would a pedal commander void? As many have said here on FRF.... they will just mash the gas pedal harder. I could certainly see if someone got a bunch of error codes because of a poor connection, took it to the dealer and the dealer said ‘your pedal commander wasn’t connected all the way. We connected the throttle cable back, that will be $121.00 ... Yup. Legit.

If however you brought your truck into the dealer with say, windshield wipers not working and they say ‘hey, you got a pedal commander. NO WARRANTY FOR YOU!’.

no, that won’t fly. Not that some dealers and techs wouldn’t try it, but they cannot legally deny you warranty coverage on something modified that is totally unrelated.

They have the right to deny warranty at will on any for anything. Sure, it’s not right, BUT that makes an even more uphill battle to fight. Why mess with it?
