Not true again. It's not you who has to prove anything. It's the dealer who has to prove it was the cause of the issue. Most dealers don't care what's wrong with the truck from damage you caused with mods. You install a chip and burn up your exhaust manifold they don't care about what caused it. Its a repair in their eyes and they get paid for it. My brother uses his Mitsubishi evo for track use. Has got the thing modded upto the eye balls with hardly anything stock left. Just about to stick him a boomba throttle body AMS manifold and AMS fuel rail in the post for even more power. He has messed up a lot on that car due to his track use and mods and never one denied Claim. Its currently in the shop because he has destroyed the suspension.
Read the mag moss act. It's pretty clear what it covers. Its illegal for your warranty to say mods void warranty. Of course unless it specifically caused that issue. Very hard to do.
my few dealings with it was my truck Had viper alarm installed. Shuts and opens windows with remote and phone. Window stopped working after a few months and dealer said motor had burned up due to wrong setting on alarm. Asked him if he could prove that and he said nope and he don't care as its under warranty.
Another was my induction kit burned up my exhaust on my car. Well the dealer said it did but they just put brand new exhaust system on. they even mentioned how sweet it sounded when I left with that kit on it.
You would have to have a proper tit of a service department to go to them lengths to deny them self work.

The warranty will cover everything else except the power train. You are allowed to read the computer ( diagnostics ) not alter it ( reflash ). Read all of the warranty paperwork. You see how much it will cost you to prove your reflashed ecu did not cause engine damage.
