what WILL VOID MY WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK?

Question

WHAT CAN I DO TO MODIFY MY TRUCK AND NOT VOID MY WARRANTY? LIFT EXHAUST? IF I CAN DO IT DOES IT HAVE TO BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP?

Answer 1

Broad question, but you can pout on a K&N or Airaid type cold air intake with no impact on the warranty whatsoever. The dealerships sell Airaid kits and as a matter of fact, Dodge used to sell the K&N as a factory option on R/T models. Mopar makes a kit also, it is a K&N with a Mopar branded stainless tube. It does not have to be done or purchased from the dealer. Lifting these days does not always void the warranty but it is vehicle specific, you'll have to look at your paperwork. I don't know what you have, however, lifts are being offered at dealerships now and feature a warranty. Aftermarket exhaust (headers, manifold, plenum pans, mufflers) often do void the warranty, however, keep in mind you've got a Dodge and Mopar Performance makes a ton of stuff that a lot of times is better than more expensive brands. If you get a new throttle body that isn't aftermarket, meaning you buy a modified throttle body from, for example, fastman.com; then it has a stock part number on it and looks identical except for a few little things nobody would ever notice but gives you better performance. New shocks, brake pads and light bulbs are always a safe mod also.

Answer 2

There are tons of parts you can put on your truck that won't void the warranty. Lift's especially. All the major manufacturers who sell lift kits will not void you warranty if they are a bolt in kit and tell you in writing that it will not void the warranty. Suspension, tires wheels, exhaust ,cold air intake, power programmer, none of that stuff voids you warranty. And no, not all that stuff has to be done at the dealership. Make sure you check first though.

Answer 3

Many things will not void your warranty, but you should be told in advance: if a problem develops, you may be required to return it to stock before a warrantable repair can be made. For example, you install a computer program that changes the fueling, then develop a misfire. The dealer may not work on it until the OEM flash is done, as your aftermarket flash either contributed to the problem or isn't compatible with DCX diagnostic equipment.
