Default What will/will not void Warrenty?

I am looking at doing the following and am not sure what will void warrenty:

Stage 1 MOPAR Turbo Kit

Stage 2 MOPAR Turbo Kit

MOPAR BOV Plate

Lowering springs eventually but not worried about that at the moment. I am looking for performance mods right now but since it is brand new I don't want to void the warranty until after the 3 years. Any help guys is really appreciated.

None of the above can void your warranty. No modifications can void your factory warranty, the only thing that can is racing. The only way they can deny a warranty claim is if they can prove that the modification(s) is the direct cause of the failure/break down. Here is an example: If you put on the K & N or any other CAI and the camshaft breaks or the engine jumps time there is no way they can claim that the CAI was the cause of those problems/failures, the CAI has absolutely nothing to do with either of them and cannot affect them in any way at all. However, if you have a CAI and you have a bent rod, then they can possibly say it was a direct result of your CAI. How? Because if you have a CAI and run into a puddle of water that is deep enough to submerge the filter then the engine will suck the water into it through the filter and when it gets into the engine it will not compress like air will and it can/will cause the rod to bend or break or the crankshaft to bend or break. If they find a bent rod and water in the cylinder, then they have more than enough proof that your modification was the direct cause of the failure and they do not and will not fix it for free under your warranty, you have to pay for the fix.

wow, that was a good descriptive way of telling what to do and not to do. Thanks guys. Great, I think that narrows down what I will do then. I have just been waiting to find out what I could do safely. I am new, obviously, to moding cars and for me and my uses a plug and play setup will be better for me. I don't really race, but love the power, so I don't need alot of the other tuning aftermarket parts. Thanks again.

The best thing to do is have everything dealer installed. I work for dodge. We had a guy that blew his up and said it was a mechanical problem, BUT he forgot to wash off all the rubber on his fenders. Long story short, He now has NO factory warranty !!!

Stage 1 through Stage 3 upgrade kits are listed by Mopar for off-road use only.

None of the Mopar Performance parts have any warranty, but they cannot void your warranty by being on your car unless as described above is the direct cause of the failure. Mopar Performance parts are sold with no warranty of any kind and if any Mopar Performance part fails for any reason your simply screwed. Stage 3 is a real touchy subject when it comes to warranty and it can be argued either way, this would have to be settled one case at a time in court because it could go either way.

I think the following will not void your warranty:

Floor matts
Pine Tree Air-Freshener
Fuzzy Dice
Crown Air Freshener on Back Dash
Speed Holes
La Coucaracha Horn

The Following WILL Void your warranty:

Spinner Rims
F & F Neon Underlighting
Fart Can Mufflers
Ricer Washer Nozzle LED's
Cow Print Seat Covers
B.O.V. (Other then MOPAR)
Any Use of Duct Tape on your car

I might be wrong though
