Area Dealerships won't warrant any simple add ons!
SO in the Montgomery AL area all of the dealerships I have called have told me that I cannot Have my warranty and a Cold Air Intake system, but them they said that adding bigger wheels would be fine? I think its straight crap I don't get the logic and if anyone out there knows of a dealership in my area that would, let me know.

You'll find that pretty common. If you modify the engine, then you won't have a warranty on the engine anymore.
You're not really gonna mess anything up with new rims, so they don't care about that.

It's really quite simple. Ford warranties the car that Ford built. When you modify the car, like with a different tune, it isn't the car that Ford built. If a problem comes up and the tune plays a part in it, then it wasn't the Ford part that caused the problem. If the tune didn't cause a problem, then Ford is responsible.
Think of it like this: you change to a different radio. It quits working. Should Ford honor the warranty on the Shaker and replace your aftermarket parts?
