A custom tune would help, if you are looking to max out your options as far as bolt-ons, aFe offers some good options.

Their stage two "Super Raptor" intake, is a good option to go with. It is an aluminum enclosed intake with a black poly powder coat.
I recommend an aluminum intake over other options since it retains less heat compared to stainless steel options.

They do also offer a tuner, the Scorcher Pro, I like this option since it's one of the few tuners that won't void your warranty.



If you have any questions we are glad to help, but yeah as far as bolt ons, intake, exhaust, tuner is what comes to mind.

If you want 100% warranty piece of mind, no tune at all.
Make sure you’re using 93 octane gas and enjoy in sport mode.

Yea, curious to hear which aftermarket intake, air filter, tune, etc Ford will allow that doesn’t void warranty and still provides excellent results.

There really isn’t a worry free tune in that respect. Ford doesn’t support or sell tubes. The closest thing to that is the Roush power package. They offer an intake, exhaust and a tune to be installed by an authorized Roush dealer. Your 3/36 is basically covered by them and there 2/24 I think it was. Unless you have a hard mechanical failure, Inam sure you could still use your factory 3/36 for the rest of the truck. That’s about as much warranty or any warranty any aftermarket company will provide. It may not be the most powerful tune, but you get a little piece of mind.

Otherwise run a piggyback and there will be some less risk. But not up to Ford to cover anything that’s been modded.

Ford officially allows nothing in regards to performance upgrades that will not potentially affect warranty...even Ford Performance upgrades they director told me they consider aftermarket parts. Much info on people’s experience on this forum. Dealers differ on how they treat mods, but if it is something significant there is a strong possibility they will point o your mods if they are in any way related to the problem. No guarantees.

States it's an ECU tuner, wouldn't that void your warranty since it appears you'd be flashing the ECU?

I have a 2019... it's completely stock at the moment, but I'll post my before and after WHP to this and I'll create my own post after I do my stuff. My tuner is installing some cool stuff the week of the 8th. Wagner IC, SPD turbo adapters, Kooks Green Catted DPs, Cobb AP with a protune and TCM and a catch-can with PCV delete thinger from Full Race.

We'll see where we end up, after that it'll probably be **** and maybe upgraded turbos for me.

https://afepower.com/afe-scorcher#:~:text=The factory tuning always leaves,and risk voiding your warranty.

Here is a link from the manufacturer explaining on and why their tuner doesn't void the warranty.

But yeah some dealers will definitely try and look into the smallest thing to void warranty, seen it happen so many times, but I mean there's lawyers to revoke it but who wants to go through that hassle

It actually says nothing about not voiding a factory warranty. It says they think it's not detectable. That's a huge difference.
