Well, think about it this way then, back in the 50's, some people might have still been mad about not being able to just ride their horse everywhere anymore, so maybe you should go back to riding a horse! Those 50's cars all have what was once some new fangled technology that was no good for anything other then draining money out of peoples pockets!

Who would willingly forget about the warranty if they could pay let's say $15,000 less on a $40,000 truck? Or some other pre-arranged discount if you could never ever warranty anything on the vehicle?

But yes, an intake will usually void your warranty. Should have read your owners manual. So your original question is moot, since you have already voided your warranty. Good luck with the delete and the tuner to support it.

Wooden wheels with iron "tires" are far more reliable. 500000 conestoga wagons proved that's all you need....

I would be for it. I drove a friend's car one time, a 1953 Chevrolet sedan, and he warned about the absence of power brakes or steering, manual column shift, etc., and I had no problems with it, in fact, I loved it. If I could get a hold of an old 50s car, it would be my daily driver.

Nearly all new technology in vehicles today is a good thing IMO, with the exception of emissions equipment. Emissions controls are what screwed us all. This is why I hate tree huggers and every time I run into an 'environmentalist' I give them a piece of my mind.

Now on to the post
Replace your intake with the factor one and go to another dealer. I don't know where you leave but many place have smog checks and you don't want that trouble.

CAI DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY. If the Dealership tries that route, they have to unequivocally prove that it caused the damage.
Even then, they can only void the warranty on that specific component. So in the case of a CAI, only the Engine could be voided. The rest of the power train would still be covered.
Or say a leveling kit, they can only void the ball joints and control arms. Nothing else.
Magnuson-Moss Act. Don't let the Dealership play this game. If you haven't modified the truck and your DPF keeps failing, call Ford Corporate and file a complaint. Also, call the BBB and lodge a complaint against the Dealership. Be a nuisance and you'll get results. Forking over $700 for a Delete kit is something you should not have to do.
Yep. Voided the warranty 80-90% on my Mustang within a few months. I would gladly give up the warranty to save thousands of $$$$.

Me too... My mother's 65 Fairlane 500 station wagon with a 2bbl 289.
It blew an old sender. I replaced it. At around 15 years of age. First car I worked on alone. Did a water pump in that thing too, about a month or two later. Regulator, alternator (new fangled thing for '65), horn retaining ring, a few other little things, even brakes.
Loved that car - wish I still had it.

There is so much wrong with this post that I won't even try to cover it all. Suffice to say, that neither the US MM act, nor the BBB, is going to help an owner in AUSTRAILIA.

Wasn't aware he was in AU
Was going to dispute the Warranty stuff, but isn't worth it. Have fun being scared of it
@Alex, hope the DPF delete helps out. Will you see any performance gains from it?
