Kravin,
x-plan saving 8k, someone is smokin crack in your hood. I am a ford d-plan employee which is similar to x-plan. MSRP on mine was 27,500, I paid 24,100
which is better than x-plan, so keep dreaming and stop spreading the BS

Actually the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act States:

"Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) ."

That means that it doesn't have to be directly the problem, but if it even in any way Contributed to the problem they can void the warranty. That meaning if a rod breaks, and you have a CAI and exhaust on it, they could *try* to claim the extra power caused it OR contributed to the rod failure because of the extra power. It can be very very tricky. Like both us Ford Techs have stated... Get good with your techs and Service advisors.

ding ding ding. We have a winner. I tried pushing this point in the power adders forum last year. The question was whether a supercharger would void a warranty or not. My written "you can take this to the bank" opinion was that an aftermarket part will not void a warranty unless it can be proven that it caused the failure. Install a supercharger on a GT and a rod busts, ford has a good reason to deny your warranty because it is easy to claim that the after market part cause the failure. Install a supercharger and your cd player stops working, Ford does not have good grounds to deny your warranty.
