Ford Performance Tune

Not trying to be that dude but that was talked a page or two back as well as previous pages before.
Short answer is, if they find the tune liable for a problem, they will not cover a dime. If its NOT tune related, warranty will fix whatever the issue is. No different than any tune.
The adv. FP tune has is the 3/36 warranty IF the issue is tune related, they will cover it during that time line. After that, like any other tune, you're on your own

thanks but there are certainly much more knowledgeable folks than me here. But I try to do my research and learn from everyone. Not surprised you’re getting the run around.
I would think it wouldn’t negate it. Just like it doesn’t negate the factory 3/36k mile warranty. But you’re only gonna be protected from the FP tune warranty for 3/36k. So if anything happens after, whether you have that extended warranty or not, you’re liable. Again, it has be exactly proven that a tune was the cause.

As long as the Ford Performance tune was installed at a Ford Dealership.. a Ford Extended Service Plan will still be valid with the FP tune.
This is as per my Business Manager who sells both aftermarket and Ford warranties and my Ford Warranty rep that was actually at the dealership today.

I did. I went to get the tune done there on Tuesday and the tech refused to do it because he “didn’t want to ruin a 60,000 vehicle”
I spoke with him and showed him the instructions and how simple it is and he still refused to do it.
I then spoke with the service manager, had a minor Karen moment because I was also there to have a tire replaced under the wheel and tire warranty and they neglected to order the tire for the appointment and the tech refusing to install the tune, but I digress. The service manager said that if I did the install, I’d have the same warranty coverage as if they did it so I shouldn’t worry.
I’ll be going to Paul Miller from here on out after the entire experience, the tech rolling his eyes at me as I handed him the instructions was enough for me.

That sucks, I hate shitty service departments. Tri-County Ford in Buckner KY is pretty shitty too. A long time ago (probably 8 years ago) I had a buddy that worked at the service department for Paul Miller, but hell, I haven't kept up with the guy to know if he even still works there. BUT it does seem to also be a pretty good dealer.
Good luck. I guess stick to Pinnacle for sales only lol

I talked with my dealer prior to buying the FP tune from Steeda. They agreed to install it at no charge. The service manager said it would not impact my warranty. I have a good relationship with my dealer. They sell and maintain a lot of the FP vehicles. The SM said they have installed the FP tunes on other vehicles, but my car would be the first ST. I think they were curious the outcome.
It was installed today, with no issues. I had already installed the computer software to update the programmer, backed up the stock tune and all they had to do was connect the programmer - press send, give me a $0 invoice indicating they installed it. It was trouble free.
My primary consideration was with shift improvement. The shifting is good, throttle more responsive and noticeably improved low-end torque.
I'm satisfied.
