That is pretty much going to depend on the dealer you are dealing with. Most mods should be dealer friendly, just get in good with your service writer! That is the best way!

Yeah and usually small bolt ons dont affect it, like new style filter without removing the OEM stuff like the Box and tubing. You may also be able to get away with a cat back exhuast. But CHECK FIRST!!!

Blown is correct
It all depends on the dealer.
But the dealer cannot void the entire warranty for one part.
but the dealer can void the warranty on all the suspension
if the truck is lowered for example.....
They can void specific areas.
Some dealers are good with mods.

Now what you really need to do is say F the warranty and just start moding, the things that are stock might go but its not likely unless you pplan on jumping up to 325rwhp in a day. Otherwise all the stock parts can handle a pretty good amount of HP gains and TRQ.

And if something does go like lets say you Diff. then replced it with E lockers or Detroit and you wont have to worry about the problem ever again. Same with any stock part really, once you blow it just get the race proven or off road proven models and your problems are solved!! If they need to be replaced anyway theres no point in beating around the bush for the warranty. Besides by the tim its up everyone will have so many mods on their vehicles you'd never catch up. Thats just my 2cents though

i like this mans style, someone just like me, actually the warranty worries was cause my dad has to cosign cause i dont have the best credit, haha. soon as i get it i will have around 2 -3 grand to spend, so im gettim some silver SS repilica's 22's of course, if todd ever gets em in. then some corsa and maybee procold or volant, and a 2/4 kit , it all depends on how much the rims cost. warranty would be nice though, heheheh
