Hmmm I had a voice in my head while I was day dreaming tell me that...
1. PCM mods and pulley mods can be traced by ford or a knowledgeable enough technician. But it is not up to the dealer nor the technician working on it to make that decision. An inspector comes out and takes photographs of what happens and we sign the paper work if we feel what his "conclusion" is correct or leave it blank if we feel it is incorrect. I dont think Ive signed for one of those inspections yet (3 years at ford).
2. The sticker on the PCM applies mainly to the 03/04 svt cobra which had a sticker on the pcm where a chip would normally be put into place. But according to my dream on those if you switched the pcm out and had it cleared and reprogrammed the keys you would not be able to tell. The dream said the GT is different in many aspects.
3. It is not putting a pulley that will void the warranty, and even then it will be only powertrain. It is the chance that maybe whoever put the pulley on didnt do a good tune for the car and caused it to blow the motor. Thats where ford will step in and inspect the vehicle specially since I think the motor is priced at around $35k for the GT and determine if any mods that werent factory were performed on the vehicle. Its the same on the cobras and lightnings and harley davidsons that came supercharged.
The pulley is obvious if it has been changed simply because most shops will put marks on the charger or the pulley itself and ford can easily see if its been tampered with.
4. It is your car and no one can tell you otherwise, but according to my dream ford doesnt have to do anything for it if its been tampered with in a manner it wasnt designed to be tampered with.
Me personally I say do the full exhaust, do the chip, do the pulley, do the cooler and just let her rip. Its a GT its supposed to be modded, raced, tracked and shown off.
But thats just what was in my dream of course
