Warranty Question

[ramflava]

So does installing aftermarket parts like a CAI and Throttle Body void or cause issues for warranty work? Does it void all warranty, or only warranty work on said parts?

Well, if you get a throttle body from Moe's, they'd be hard pressed on voiding or even knowing it was a modded throttle body, as he uses Authentic Mopar throttle bodies. As for the CAI...consumers are protected under the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act, which states that in a warranty claim that includes any aftermarket parts or fluids, the manufacturer MUST prove that the aftermarket part or fluid caused the repair.

Just like said above...We use factory Mopar TB's, so from the outside, the dealer would have no idea that yours was ported. They would have to remove yours and hold it side by side with a stock TB to notice any difference.

As for the intake, they would have to prove that your intake caused a problem in order to void the warranty. If you hve the S&B scoop installed and you take the truck in for having a hydrolocked motor, then they are obviously going to blame the intake, but transmission or diff problems, they cant come at you saying that the intake is giving you so much extra power that it destroyed your transmission.

On top of all this, they can only void your warranty on the part that was swapped out. The rest of your warranty will remain in tact on any parts that are not aftermarket.

This is a great mod to have, I don't regret getting mine and have only positive things to say about it. The only thing that should be holding anybody back from one of Matt's throttle body's is, well.. Nothing lol

The only one that worries me what the dealer would say is the Vararam, since it's so radically different from the stock airbox. Oh well, I'm gonna install it anyway.
