[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1449838, member: 21926"] There was a memo posted on FRF within the last 6 months or so, that purported to be ‘guidelines’ on evaluating modifications and certain makers - Roush among them, had special instructions. I don’t know if it was accurate, but Roush does seem to have the most advantageous tune in that you can preserve at least some powertrain coverage. This isn’t new. I got static for (Ford) performance catalog parts on my ’97 SVT Mustang, but it was only static, I didn’t get denied for anything; nor did I have reason to within the factory warranty. It did elongate some things; I had the dealer install upper and lower control arms, then 3.73 gears, and they didn’t set the pinion angle correctly. I heard it howling on the way home. Their first attempt at a repair was just as bad and they whined that my control arms were transmitting more NVH into the cab. We disagreed, I asked them to revisit the gear install and they fixed it correctly. I used to live next to a Ford dealer and most of their mechanics raced cars at MIR so they did the bulk of the stuff on my Mustangs, but the gears were at a different dealer. Live and learn. It took about 12-15 months before there was a solid tune available for the ‘17+ Raptor, and there is definitely going to be even more integration of modules and complexity going forward. [/QUOTE]
