I say you sure no how to void out your factory warranty, thats for sure! Once you put all that stuff on there Chrysler wont have to cover a damn thing on your truck then, you just did them a major favor. Be sure to let us all know what breaks first on your truck that your going to have to pay for to have fixed, like the tranny, rear-end, engine/valvetrain or suspension. The tranny alone should cost you triple(if the motor doesnt crap out first from some goof in the installation of the cam) what you spent on your goodies, if the wife doesnt divorce you now, she surely will then...

This is why I usually try to wait till farther along in the vehicles life before I start doing engine mods. I like to squeeze Chrysler for every ounce of warranty before I have to start paying for major repairs out of my own pocket.

And by the way, I figure that because your breaking into the internals of the engine and boosting performance in that manner, that any ChryCorp mechanic that looks at your truck from the time of installation of the cam will consider any tranny issues as a result of said installation. I asked a friend of mine that is one and he said that more than likely the warranty clerk at the dealer will feel the same way.

Just my 2 cents... if I were to do something major to increase the HP of my HEMI, I think I would have to go for the STS turbo package, its basically as non-invasive as it gets and can be removed with little to no evidence that it was there should disaster strike. Plus I think it will reward you with far better performance gains than what your going to do, although the cost is a good 4G's or so.

If the dude wants to mod up his truck, dont flame him. If I only had this truck with a hemi instead of having my trans am as well, I'd sure as hell cam it and do all kinds of internal work on it within the warranty period.

How much did that exhaust system cost? $69.95

How much did that all that stuff cost? $69.95

Everything is $69.95, unless it is actually less.

Mods can be removed before service. Some dealerships don't mind the mods either. If Chrysler itself has to send in an inspector, and you have the mods on there, then you can probably say buh by to the warranty.

I noticed he hasnt been on here for a while. She must have been really upset and they havent found the body yet. LOL.

I am getting ready to order the Torsion Keys for my 4x4.

What? No those were on there when I bought it, you mean its not stock. Weird. Just fix it okay.

Glad to see at least one of you have your priorities straight! You need to "educate" your wife or get a different one.

All the best.

Guys...live by this quote:

IT'S EASIER TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS THAN FOR PERMISSION!

Also, get your own credit card and have the statement sent to your buddy's house. Ummm...not that I do this, but I know someone who does!
