Warranty law is written such that the manufacturer cannot deny a warranty claim unless the issue is caused by the addition of the aftermarket part. The burden of proof is on them. You may have to sue them to get to that point, but ultimately the burden of proof is on them. If they can then show conclusively that the programmer caused whatever failure occurred, they can legally deny the warranty claim, not void the warranty.
Most dealership service personnel, and upper management will probably say screw you and you'll have to fight for some time, but in the end you may win.

ford says " these actions void your warrantee" you do them and they discover it one way or another and the law is no longer on your side.
and the other posters are correct. if you want to screw with your hardware at least be man enough and have enough integrity to not have to try to swindle someone when you or your aftermarket supplier screw up.

I wouldn't do it if you expect the warranty to be upheld. Sure, you may get lucky with a liberal service dept but why risk it. Just for the record, I had a DP Tuner installed in my F250 at 105K miles with gauges and exhaust. I now have 125K with about 3.5K miles towing a 11,500lb boat/trailer without a problem. I love the way the truck responds with the chip. Very quick on acceleration, similar to a gasoline engine. Of course I'm not burning rubber... except those rare occasions when I'm feeling froggy.
