i know some of the pics of the pistons are blurry if you would like i can take clearer pics if you can't see where the bottom of them is really damaged and one of them is cracked through and through.....i can post more clearer pics just like me know if you want me to

 

Holy hell, is this going to be covered under waranty???

 

No they voided my warranty and I had to pay $2227 to fix it....but my lawyer is looking at my options.....

 

Ah, now I get what they meant by "tone" ring. It's the crank signal ring that came apart.

Unfortunately, if you read the fine print on the Mopar Stage kits is they can void the drivetrain warrantee. Having said that, the Crank Signal ring should not have come apart like that, it's most likely a manufacturing defect that caused it. They may try to argue that it was caused by S3's higher rev limit though...

 

yes, they may be able to connect the S3 to causing the damage. if this is the case than warranty is void. now if they put it in writing that the S3 would not void the warranty or if they cannot prove that the upgrades caused the damage than warranty should cover it. the dealer here told me a S2 would NOT void the warranty, however i would require this in writing before installing it.

 

Yeah thanks and I know and just about 3 weeks before it happened I went in because of a "bumping" when stopping or starting and shifting. I had the 2 lower motor mounts tightened down by the dealership....so i guess that it would be possible that everything like flywheel,tranny,and other things may have been lose and not tightened.....and the motor mounts absorbed the "bump" so i did not feel it anymore.....Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

 

^i know your pursuing legal action, so its most likely going to be a battle of the experts in some type of arbitration/mediation.

 

Yup, for the amount of damages involved, it's very unlikely it will make it to an actual court case..........
