[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1436361, member: 21926"] Well sure, if you bought the truck and an ESP on a previously owned - or not previously owned vehicle and there’s a non Ford tune on it, that ESP will cover anything not implicated by the tune. Some dealers like to throw the “your whole warranty is void” flag, which is a sign you need a new S/A or S/M or both. if both, go elsewhere because that violates Ford’s warranty agreement with you. However, that doesn’t stop the stealership from flagging your vehicle in the system as they would for, say, a lemon law suit, etc. So, if your moon roof pops at 75k miles, that ESP covers you. If your Transmission gives out at 75k miles, I think it’s going to be dealer dependent but if I were a betting man, I’d bet that generally it’d be covered unless you were caning it pretty hard and they said you were abusing it. A whole other topic of how you can claim abuse on a Raptor designed to be taken off road, particularly with the myriad of Raptor Assault videos out there. now, what if one of your con-rods decides it wants to be free of the shackles of life inside the engine block? or to make it more interesting, you have a detonation induced piston failure. I don’t think Ford is going to cover that under warranty, regardless of the sale conditions. That’s all just my opinion and I’m not trying to argue with you here, just politely disagree with the assessment that anything is going to end up being owned by the dealer or ford if there is a serious powertrain issue. It’s pretty dealer dependent, but best to not find out the hard way. From what I’ve seen, it’s either Roush or Whipple if you want tuned power and/or some form of powertrain financial insurance. Again, Ford would probably balk the same way as with a tune from another maker, but if the respective aftermarket tuner gets the claim it would end up covered by them subject to their warranty terms.
