Warranties can't be voided just because someones shoes came untied. We have the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act for a reason.
As far as the dealer trying to upsell you ****, just find another dealer. Service Writers are salesmen too, they get comp'ed on every service they sell; just someone of them are stupid as **** and will say anything in hopes that the person they are talking to is also stupid as ****. You don't need a mechanics background to be a writer...you can literally know nothing about cars/engines and get hired.
As far as techs go, yes they are parts changers...because that's how the industry operates today. Parts are not designed to be repaired, that's why its R&R time for everything...remove & replace. You don't rebuild a transmission, you put a new one in. You don't rebuild the engine, you put a new one in. The problem with that is, you can't fix 100,000+ miles of caked on soot that way.
To your original point though, just delete the truck. It's the better thing to do in the long run and will save you a fortune in stupid maintenance and ignorant plastic jugs in cardboard boxes.
