Quick question about programmers..

[Richison]

This may be a completely stupid question, because I'm only 18 and don't quite understand warrantys and voiding them, so bare with me. If I put a programmer on my Raptor will that void my warranty completely?

It may void the motor and trans warranty if something were to happen to them.

What are the chances that it would? What would make it void, and what would not?

Read up Magnusson Moss act... If the programmer causes a failure it voids the warranty.. Programmers can effect a lot of things, shift points, fuel mixture, spark ignition point, amount of fuel, computer input information such as oxygen sensor, temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, timing and knock. Since it effects so many things and Ford can read if you connected one and modified the stock program it can void any damage just by pointing to the fact you used one. Ford has a team of lawyers to deal with it and you are 18 so can not even be a lawyer. The truth is ask yourself "is it worth it"?. If yes then by all means go for it....

If you're honestly worried about it...then don't do it.

Wow, that's a lot. Definitely not putting one on until my warranty is up. Haha
