only if they find you have an upgraded valve body and torque converter. if you go in for an issue with your A/C, they arent going to go and pull the tranny apart to see if youve been doing stuff. they may look for signs of tinkering, gage's can be a big sign, but if you tell them you tow and want to make sure you dont get things to hot, what can they say.

velcro on the fuse box lid is another biggie. as well as a swiss cheeze air box.

What Drew said about the fuse box is soooooo true. When the service manager was looking at mine, thats the first thing he pointed out,,,, that most guys mount their box on the fuse box. But it's like the techs at BD told me,, DENY EVERYTHING. "sir,, did you have a programmer, box on this engine?",,,,,,,, "ummmm, name, rank, serial number,,, I mean, box,,,, box,,,, whats a box???

I have a huge tie strap holding mine down. . .if I need to pull my tst out there will be NO evidence it was there other than the velcro I used to mount the remote. but I can easily tell them thats where I hang my phone

Speaking of tie stratps Drew, wanna hear something suspicious? When the service manager took me to see the truck (like I was identifing a dead body or something) he pointed out a medium size white tie strap, just placed into a threaded hole in the side of the engine, and he pointed out that this was placed there b/c dodge cummins does not use white straps like that. And that would not have just been sitting there from the factory. Now truth be told, I NEVER, EVER, strapped anything down on that truck. sooooooooooo,,,,,,,,,,
