What will void my warranty?
I've got an '04 with 11,000miles on it. I was wondering what "modifications" could possibly void my truck's warranty? Installing cold-air intake, headers, exhaust?...I don't want to void the warranty just yet, what do you guys think?

Like I told you before, I dont think an exhaust will void warranty, I know more guys will chime in with more knowledge about this

It can depend a lot on the dealer you go to. The dealer has a lot of latitude on warranty decisions and some are more mod friendly than others. Talk to your service manager and try to feel them out. Those mods you mention are pretty basic and may not cause you any warranty concerns. On the other hand if you break the MAF or O2 installing the CAI or headers I would not expect the dealer would come good for it. I would just ask the dealer how they feel about various mods and what their policy is regarding warranty coverages.

Cool... I e-mailed chevrolet asking the same question, haven't got a response back. The dealer that sold me the truck called me about two months ago to ask about its performance...he also asked me if I had any modifications done to it...see back then, I hadn't done anything to it, but now I have...includes are UPD cold-air intake (with an AFE filter), HP-Tuning including complete removal of torque management (hint: SmokinLM7) , Borla exhaust coming soon: 7 days and counting...I think it also depends on the dealer that sold you the vehicle, sometimes they can be complete ******** and void it for any conceivable reason they can find...So I guess I'll check with the dealer, he seemed to be pretty cool about the whole mod thing when I mentioned it to him...I'll keep smokin' hemis or anything that comes my way...Thanks for the feedback I'll keep you posted...In the meantime...give em hell..
