HOW WILL THIS AFFECT VEHICLE WARRANTY?
TracKey is warranted for factory-supplied material or workmanship, when installed on a Boss 302 or Laguna Seca by an authorized Ford or Lincoln Dealer, beginning upon dealer installation and registration of the part(s) with Ford Racing for the balance of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the start date of the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

This Limited Warranty replaces the existing manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty for engine, driveline and suspension parts, when the warranted Ford Racing Part is identified as the causal part of a warrantable concern.

Installation of these select Ford Racing parts by an authorized dealer does not nullify the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

All engine, driveline and suspension warranty issues not related to installation of Ford Racing parts remain subject to existing manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
To register for Ford Racing Limited Warranty, please contact the Ford Racing Tech Line at (800) FORD-788 and provide the TracKey proof of purchase and installation invoices, date, mileage, and VIN.

Sweeeet

 

GreatNest! Woohoo!

 

Although I am happy for you guys, I'm sad because our overtrolled subject is finally coming to an end. It was fun while it lasted.

 

I.......am........very.......excited!!!!!!!!

 

 

you SIR are wrong! our fun is only starting! The first mixed review or " I hate it" and we are back in the game

 

There's always jmatero and the MT82.

 

and for some reason I think we will always have jmatero and the MT82 or something else from that guy.

 

I heard jmatero was getting a Shelby....

 

I hope he gets a camaro next

 

Wait a minute.... What is our driveline warranty now befor TracKey?

 

What's a TracKey? Never heard of it?

 

So does this mean that guys that get the TracKey programming are now not allowed to compare them to a GT500, since they are no longer stock? I mean it has to be stock vs. stock right? At least that's what always gets thrown up.

 

Do note the Powertrain Warranty coverage drop from 5/60 to 3/36 w/ TracKey install...

 

I hope you guys do like to the track key and that it makes everyone happy. I would hope its a first step forward in putting such a thing in all mustangs.

 

inb4 the guys that say "ZOMG why would you install Trackey?!? Leave it stock!!!"

 

YES!

 

One more TracKey Thread before I get mine is what will make me throw up.

 

Looks like Deysha has some more investigation to do for us now.

So i get it installed and bam, -2 on Warranty.
Or is it, If I use it, then bam, -2 on Warranty.
Or are there some other special conditions of use.
