Nor should he be lectured on warranty if he has already accepted the fact that he will loose it. It is up to him if the benefits out weight the costs, not anyone else.

Has he though? I don't see anywhere where he says, "I understand that this will void the warranty, and I choose to do so as it is my vehicle and I am making the payments," or anything to that effect.

Maybe, just maybe, he has NOT considered the fact that chipping/programming will void the warranty on his engine? Maybe he believes the advertising hype where they make (FALSE) claims that their product cannot be detected and will not void the warranty?

ANY questions or suggestions that might make the OP think about something he has not yet considered are fair game. Especially, if it may cost him significant amounts of money. And, we really have no idea what the OP has taken into consideration because he does NOT say what he has taken into consideration.

Oh and big whoop, "other" parts of your warranty are still honored. The most valuable part of your warranty, where the most expensive repairs will occur, is NOT. Wow, you got a scuffed lug nut replaced under warranty? What's that a $20 part? Yippie. Enjoy paying $15000 to have the injectors replaced.

Go back and read what the OP asked.

I have a 2016 F250 with a 6.7 diesel, 6 speed automatic. Has anyone tried putting a chip in one of these trucks to get better MPG and do you think it would harm the truck?

Thanks,
Happy Camping

Did he ask about warranty? Did he ask about anyone opinion about his warranty? No.

He simply asked for those WITH experience with putting a chip in their truck for mpg and if they think it would harm his truck. So why would anyone who has ZERO experience doing this to their truck even bother to reply? Why would anyone with ZERO experience ask why he would want to do it? Why would anyone with ZERO experience with tuners and warranty post about warranty and tuners? He wasn't asking for people who have never done it for their advice, he was asking for people who have.

Every time someone has a question about a tuner or any other mod like an intake, you will always get one or two people that have ZERO experience with tuner or and intake chime in asking why anyone would want/need to tune a vehicle, say that stock power is plenty enough for them, or go into a long spiel about voiding warranty. It gets kind of old after a few hundred times especially when it comes from people with ZERO experience on the matter.

Like I said earlier, different strokes for different folks. You can't apply what you would do to what someone else should do. Some people, like myself, would rather drive a custom tuned truck risking voiding the warranty, and there is nothing wrong with that. Other people may want to play it safe and not void their warranty, and there is nothing wrong with that either. To each their own, and there is no need to hassle someone for not doing what you would do.

Oh, and I am not sure where you are getting your injectors replaced for $15,000, but they are sticking it to you.....without Vasoline.
