A good place to begin looking for answers to the question of whether performance products will/could affect your warranty would be to use the search feature here.

nampadmax, welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new truck. If you decide to go w/ a performance mod, I would suggest something that is easily removed, like the juice, or easily set back to stock, like the Predator or Quad programmers. This way, if you need to bring your truck in to the dealer, there is no evidence of any mod's. I have been running the Predator on my truck for quite some time now, and am very happy w/ it. Luckily, I have not had to bring my truck in for any warranty work :cool: I have about 23k on the truck. I hope I din't just jinx myself :eek: Most of the times, it depends on the dealer/service writer and you relationship w/ them. Some are very cool & willing to overlook mod's, and some are real funny about it. If you are having a "common" type problem that obviously was not cuased by the mod, I'm sure you would be OK. But if your truck was really drugged up & looked like it was run hard & put away wet, you would have a tough way to go. Just keep it simple, don't let 'em know what you got, and have fun. Good Luck, DinoMax :D :D
