Service manual

I am a proud new owner of a 02 powerstroke. Is there a service\repair manual for the 7.3 available? Also, how hard is it to install the pyrometer and boost gauges? Would adding a 4" exhaust or the gauges void the factory warranty? I would apprieciate any help. If it doesnt get warm enough to ride our horses soon I might have to just load em up and drive around for a spell just to see how well the new truck handles the trailer:

Technically, to void the factory warranty, the dealership would have to prove that an aftermarket modification led to the specific problem with the truck. Some people have had more trouble with their particular dealership than others, though. I think the interpretation varies by dealership. Since neither gauges or an exhuast system actually add power, you're probably on pretty firm ground. It's when you get into chips/tuners/propane, etc. that the line gets blurry.
I hope this helps.
