Thanks for all you're support, to both you and TGJ, I'm extremely very gratefulCorralOne said:TGJ is right once cleared there is no way to tell.The code left after the clear is P1000,that just means that all the monitors have to go through a drive cycle to clear the P1000.That can take from 10-100 miles or more depending on how you drive.
I would'nt worry about it much.The dealerships alone dont have the power to void the warrenty.This only happens when a ford inspector is called out for a strange failure and is discovered the owner has modified something.Most dealers dont really care if the mods are kept to a minimum.

1fastz said:WRONG the dealership can and some times will refuse waranty work if it feels your car has been modified ..
mike murillo himself had a 4 month fight with ford over the engine in his brand new 05 f-350 wich went out at 15 k miles !
after parking it with it runing fine he came out and it would not start it had no compresion in any of the cylinders.
It had a cold air intake on it when taken in to the dealer and the dealer had seen a boost gauge and trany temp gauge pod on the A pillar inside and refused to waranty the truck because he suspected the truck had had more mods to it then just that.
in truth it had a edge controller and a nitrous kit on it wich were removed but there was absolutly NO WAY to tell they had ever been on the truck and the problem with the truck were in no way related to them..
however just on the suspicion it had had other mods the dealer refused waranty and murillo had to fight over it for 4 months.
he had to fight for 4-months up through the hierarchy in ford until he finaly got lucky and came across a ford reginal rep for texas who knew of him and his race record and was a fan and they replaced the motor under warranty
if the dealers service manager feels the car is not covered under waranty you have two choices take it to a diff dealer or go higher up with ford but a dealer can and does at time refuse to warranty vehicles.

So I guess if you bought it from them and they installed it then it wouldnt be an issue but if I bought one from SAummitt then there would be an issue?
