Ever since my truck has been tuned my remote start has worked one time. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I've replaced the battery in the remote, still nothing. But since the warranty is now gone because of the ******s, I don't want to take it to the dealership. Any ideas?

What does it do when you try to remote start it? Horn honks twice at you?

I believe if there is a CEL on it won't remote start but I am not 100% sure on that.
If your hood is not closed all the way it won't remote start either.

Yes I hit the lock button twice. Then try the remote start, and nothing happens. H&S mini maxx is the tuner

Check below for any of the conditions.

The remote start system will not work if:
- The ignition is on.
- The alarm system is triggered.
- Remote Start feature is disabled in the instrument cluster.
- The hood is open.
- The transmission is not in park (P).
- The vehicle battery voltage is too low.
- The service engine soon light is on.
- The vehicle is low on fuel.

Additional remote start functionality can be found in the following link: http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/vehicle-features/locks-and-security/remote-start-system.html

If none of those conditions exist, then something with the tuning turned it off.
