I'm going to be buying my new truck soon. Does anyone know what the policy is on making modifications while under warranty. What can and can't I do? I'm wanting to ad a leveling kit to it. Just wondering if I'm going to run into any issues. Thanks.

For some reason people on here keep referring to the Magnuson Moss Act but it doesn't mean a darn thing after you have modified the product that is suppose to be covered under the warranty. Just have a little common sense and personal responsibility. If you put on a leveling or lift kit, and then you have problems with ball joints of cv shafts, that's on you. You can modify anything on the vehicle you want as long as you are okay with repairing or covering the cost of the other parts that are affected by the modification. The is not a single mod that will void the entire warranty.

Ok so what if I, or had a 3rd party ASE certified place, installed a 6" Superlift lift kit on my truck. It only has the 100k power train warranty on it now. But since the stealership uses the same lift, if something broke (say a u-joint or whatever), would they honor it because it's a lift they install on all their vehicles?!

Check to see if the place where you have the lift installed will warranty their parts and labor. Any good shop should give you some type of warranty. However, if they install a lift and a u-joint goes soon after, they may not warranty that u-joint (unless you get them to install new u-joints with the lift).
I wouldn't expect the dealer to warranty the u-joint as well, as it's failure likely resulted from a modification that the u-joint was not engineered to support.
