Ford will and has prevailed multiple times with this specific issue.
If you are going to tune and modify your truck as the old addage goes "if your gonna play you gotta pay".
Yes some dealerships look the other way and just do it under warranty, but if the dealership gets audited by FMC or FMC sends out inspectors before agreeing to the warranty work (this is happening more often on large repairs) then FMC will tell the dealer it is not warranty work do to A/M engine mods and then you are stuck paying for the repairs.
Superdiesel, your friend told you correctly, and if you cannot afford the potential engine repairs, then do not install A/M engine & powertrain mods on your truck. Read the warranty book that came with your truck it is very specific.
Hope this helps.
