I've never heard of Edge hurting transmissions with the canned tunes. Doesn't seem like they'd stay in business long if this was true, does it? My guess is, some people who buy programmers do it to turn their pickups into drag racers, and then they race the things at every opportunity. You do that often enough, and your transmission's toast. I doubt it matters who tunes your truck if that's the way you drive it, it's going to get beat to death.
Exhaust mods seem to have little effect on the tuning, but I'm no expert on this.
My guess is, Ford COULD tell if your FICM were reflashed. The question is, will they try to find out? And, I don't know why you are talking about having the FICM reflashed, so I can't answer that question at all.
Maybe I shouldn't have jumped in here, since I'm not Bill and I'm certainly not Corey! But, I didn't want you to feel "ignored".
