Yes while the footprint will be there it is actually the ECU flash that resets the system that is found, not that it was tuned. Still it is more between the service department and you.
On the warranty topic I again take the odd position of buying new, maintaining it myself, and avoiding extra warranties. But understand not everyone wants to do what I do. KM

Key cycles are logged everytime the truck is ran. It will throw them off if it only has 100 or 200 and the truck has 25k miles lol.

I would do this if you are worried, seem some pretty impressive 0-60mph and 1/4 mile with it

My Audi has the jb4 and still under warranty with audi, I simply unplug it and take the car in for service and its undetectable.

Ah that’s a con for me. I want to watch live data

The JB4 App is awesome, all the live data you need on your phone

No trans tuning kills it for me. Too bandaid for me. All the power none of the refinement.

Wait, jb4 doesn’t change the trans?

No. it's not a "tune" per say. It hooks into the map sensor and a couple others and "fools" the computer into thinking it's not seeing certain things. The computer responds by adding boost. It works, but it has zero control over the trans. It more or less just fools the computer into doing things it wouldn't ordinarily do.

Ah. I wouldn’t want that then. I’d want an actual tune

When you are ready I'll set you up with an ultra safe tune. You'll have plenty of fun and it wont stress you out worrying about a warranty.

That sounds perfect!

Piggyback tuner, had a few in my diesels. They work but they aren't ideal.

Looks like I might be able to schedule a test drive on that 2022 XLT tomorrow!

Take some pictures and let us know how it goes!

@Boostking Would I be able to tune a new truck with my SCT device or no?

 

[Boostking]

I'll check on the 23 but I know the 21 and 22 yes.

Sorry I misread your post. A regular X4 or BDX will not work. The 7015 PG-B. I do not believe the 2023 is supported. You would need to sell your device and upgrade to the newer X4 which directly connects to the PCM (no obd2 flashing).

The other option is to get a spare PCM and get it unlocked and tuned through HP Tuners.

Either way, we have some options. The 2023 guys are buying 2022 PCM's and swapping them, but that's a bit of a hassle. 2023's should be unlocked soon.

I would tell you more, but I usually check SCT's website before I ramble on about newer support, but the site is broken at this moment.

I think I'd challenge myself to really get to know the new truck before doing anything under the hood. Every truck is its own and I assure you that Gen14 is a new animal beyond just the massaged sheet metal.

Drive it. Read about it. Look it over inside out and under. It will all just come to ya and make sense what needs addressing first.

This is the best answer so far, in my opinion.
Drive the truck for a while, get some miles on it, make sure nothing comes up. "Things" can happen with these trucks/engines completely stock as we all know and unfortunately it won't matter how mild of a tune you have if those issues come up and they find out about it that could be a big $$$ problem.

I kind of grumble to myself every time I see someone say "don't worry about it I had no problem getting warranty work done when I was tuned" that's all fine and dandy but I can 100% guarantee they are not gonna be there with their wallet out if and when the you know what goes down.

It's so cliché but it is true, you have to plan on the possibility of paying if you want to be playing

 

[GearHead_1]

Wait... so you guys don't want to read a build-up, blow-up thread? Oh, man.


I'm kiddin' of course.

 

[boostkingMatt]

Yeah, I will be driving it for a little while as you guys have said, to make sure it’s ok. I’m going to opt for a 24 hour test drive if I can.

The fun part is getting a 2021+ up to date through fdrs if it isn't through OTA. (Which it likely isn't ) Ford likes to send out new PCM updates... Don't quote me, but I believe a new PCM update will require a change to the tune. And for sure need to make sure automatic updates are turned off so it doesn't download an OTA update and automatically write over the tune. 2021+ is a whole new world.

 

[boostkingMatt]

Apparently the black truck is getting a new title for some reason, so I’m looking elsewhere now. I’ve booked a test drive for Monday with a 2022 XLT Fx4 and it has the 302A high equipment group

Was the black truck Canadian?
