being the proud owner of a new 2004 2500 t/d i am researching all the aftermarket engine mods to increase power...my question is this............how does any of this affect the warranty can you change the exhaust add a power chip will additional gauges void anything all thoughts on this are appreciated.......... if a failure should occur that can be traced to a add on you pay. roy .

this............how does any of this affect the warranty can you change the exhaust add a power chip will additional gauges void anything all thoughts on this are appreciated.......... theres several different answers on this one... from the technically-correct legal interpretation to the real-world average-joe practical answer. practically speaking an exhaust shouldnt present any kind of warranty problem. airbox changes can get you into trouble - most dealers dont like to see any type of oil-gauze filter and cummins themselves has minimum filtration standards that most aftermarket filters cant match. if you have any kind of engine or turbo problem you could be in for a battle if you have a purple filter hanging off your turbo. gauges by themselves should not be a problem although theyre usually a tell-tale sign that somethings going on under the hood. as long as your turbo doesnt frag because you let a 1/2 holes worth of manifold shavings find its way to the shaft bearings there should be no problem here. as for the real modifications - namely increased fueling - this will most likely affect your engine/powertrain warranty. cummins expressly denies warranty on the engine if its over-fueled it says as much right on the side of the valve cover and the dealer would have a pretty good leg to stand on for denying warranty coverage on anything drivetrain-related with a turned-up engine. bottom line - if you want to increase the power of your truck you have to be prepared to accept the responsibility of its repairs should they become necessary. at the same time you need to understand that your entire vehicle warranty is not void because of some aftermarket accessory. for example if your ball joints go out prematurely they should still be covered under your existing vehicle warranty regardless of any engine modifications performed. however if your transmission smokes and burns and you have a fueling box on the engine you just bought yourself a new transmission. .
