Post Yes, Another Chip Question

I know, "Another Chip Question". Just got my new 03 Sonic Blue F250 auto with everything but leather heated seats. I would love to chip the 5.4l. I was looking at the Diablo since it seems to be the more popular. I will be towing an enclosed trailer. Can I get performance and towing from the Diablo Chip? Will my dealer be upset I installed a chip before the first oil change is due? Does the chip void my Ford warranty? Thanks for the input.

Yes, Another Chip Question

Yes, the Diablo chip will help all around, towing or unloaded. Read this on warranty issues:

Even though legally they can't void your warranty by adding a chip that doesn't mean some dealers won't try to tell you otherwise. Ask your dealer and act accordingly when it comes to service. I recommend you wait until after the first oil change.
