  1. I think he was referencing an eBay seller. It’s a sub box that installs underneath the center console if you have the floor mounted console.
  2. Right, but it’s not as simple as “you tuned your truck, now your warranty is void if your motor blows up.” The burden is on the dealer to prove that the tune caused the problem. Not to say that they wouldn’t try and you might have to settle it in court, but pointing out an awareness of legal limits is sometimes sufficient. So problems like a lean mixture burning a hole in a piston is surely on you, but your rear end failing when it’s the same axle that’s bolted to a 6.2l would be problematic for them to deny. Bottom line is I’m not tuning my truck because I don’t have time to deal with it. When you start modding you just need to be aware of possible effects and realize that you need to be prepared to do your own repairs or pay for them if your tune goes awry, but simply choosing one is not going to “void” your warranty, they are still responsible for failures caused by manufacturer defects.
  3. I’ve heard the debate both ways about whether or not a tune would affect the warranty, but the bottom line is what is important to the owner. A 60k Powertrain warranty is not that big of a deal because 98% of vehicles will never use it. I work full time and I’m in grad school so it’s worth it to keep mine intact because I don’t have the time to do it myself. But performance oriented individuals want to get the most power on a young vehicle so there’s no sense in them waiting until the warranty is out, because if they’re going to break something they’ll have to pay for it either way. That being said, congrats to the OP on the tune, not bad numbers out of a tune on a naturally aspirated engine not changing fuels!
