Default Dealer warranty issues

I just bought my new 2011 dodge ram sport 5.7L fully loaded pickup. I put in a Cold Air Intake. I'm planning on installing performance plugs, a performance thermostate and I wanted to install a programmer as well. Dodge in Alberta said if I install a chip it will void my warranty. Is there anyway to clear your computer before taking it in to get serviced so dodge won't see that I ran a programmer on my pickup ? I want to buy this chip for my 2011 - http://www.autotrucktoys.com/ram/Hyp...-PRD27423.aspx. It says that you can reset to factory settings in the manual. Would dodge be ableto pickup or void my warranty if I pulled my chip - programmer and reset to factory settings ? If you know the answer to this question it would help me a great deal and many others I'm sure.

It tells me the number of times the software has been changed since the PCM first power up. Also it is sTored for good and a battery disconnect will not clear it.sorry dude if your stealership is like that because mines not

Diablo programmer will be your best bet
For any reason you go to the dealer you can put the stock Tune back on
Don't listen to everything they tell you about them finding out if u have one or not
Now for the Intake yes they might void your warranty if that part failed and caused the problem avoid that buy a mopar Intake get them to Install it some dealers will honor the warrany if its mopar part and installed there

mtaylor.. I too am in Alberta.. we have a few Dodge dealers here..

Where are you... if your dealer is being a doofus the best thing you can do is yank the service from them and take it else where so they can benefit from servicing your truck.
