Egr Cooler
A couple of weeks ago I got a service engine soon light and it turns out that the egr cooler core was bad. I had it replaced this week under warranty but now this has me thinking that maybe in the long run I would be better off to tune the truck. I had not even considered it until now, but this is a truck that I plan on keeping and I think that all of this emissions crap is shortening the life expectancy of the truck, at least without dumping money into it on a regular basis. Would this have been caused by anything that I have done? Am I not driving the truck hard enough maybe? I am in Michigan and we do not have any emissions testing on our vehicles. Are there any other downsides to deleting besides warranty at this point?

There is a big misconception. For a dealer to completely VOID your warranty, they have to prove that you tuning the truck caused said components to fail. A windshield seal failing has nothing to do with tuning the engine. Do it, you will not regret it.
