Will MPT tunes affect my warranty?

This is a tough question for us to answer for the simple reason that the dealership is a 3rd party. They can literally do whatever they want. We can't speak on behalf of a 3rd party. They can void your warranty for changing your air filter if they are feeling like being a d-bag that day. That being said, we tune these vehicles all day log and customers getting their warranty voided is not a problem we deal with. Our tunes are safe and effective to not cause damage that a dealership would blame on tuning. If this is a concern of yours, our only recommendation is talk to your dealership. Otherwise, simply reload the Ford stock file before going for service. Our general rule is after the 1st oil change you are ready for tuning.

Are new spark plugs needed for MPT Tunes?

For Gen3 truck, this is important. Many of them have a flat seat spark plug from the factory. Flat seat plugs have a washer on there and are cranked to an exact torque setting ensuring they are clocked to the right position. Previous generation trucks had a tapered seat plug and this didn't matter as much. General rule of thumb is to not use a tapered seat plug on a vehicle that is meant for flat seat plugs. The Ford manual and Ford Service documents mention how big of a deal this is. Misfires, and even engine damage can happen from using the wrong plugs. As far as needing new plugs for MPT Tunes, the answer is no. Stock oem plugs work just fine and typically with plugs you'll know when it's time for a new set. The vehicle will start idling rougher than normal or you'll feel it cutting out while you are under boost. In that situation you will either re-gap the plugs or replace with a new set.

What is required to use MPT Tunes?
