I wouldn't want someone to try to say that having the Range installed contributed to the failure.
1. Why would you even care what 'someone' TRIES to say?
1b. Which 'someone' are you concerned with?
1c. What if they try to say something you don't like, but they fail?
1d. In case we don't make it to '2', this is why I'd prefer the Range - quick connect, quick disconnect ...
quick disavowal

2. How does it make ANY sense, that disabling Cylinder (Valve) Deactivation,
would make it more likely to cause a lifter failure?
So far as I know, disabling Cylinder (Valve) Deactivation has never caused a lifter failure.
So far as I know, disabling Cylinder (Valve) Deactivation makes lifter failure less likely, and delays lifter failure.

3. No, I am not using 'the carbyte' or 'the range'.
I can tell y'all that 'the Range' is typically preferred by NYC cabdrivers / chauffeurs.

“Someone” AT THE DEALERSHIP. I wouldn’t care what anyone else might have to say on the matter — I just wouldn’t want the dealership to try to say that the unit somehow voided the warranty (and that they therefore wouldn’t replace the engine). That’s all I’m getting at.

…And, to be clear, the current Range for these trucks has to be installed under the truck, behind the wheel liner (and so it’s not necessarily a quick install/removal like the Carbyte is). If I had the Range installed and my truck crapped out on me, I likely wouldn’t be able to remove it before it made it to the dealership.

Personally, I’m just looking to get some insight into the “liability” angle the dealership might try to take if my truck were to shit the bed with the Range installed.
