It seems to me that my truckis falling apart. With in the past 2 weeks the tranny has started to go south and today when I leave from work I see all this **** under the truck. MY luck is that the water pump gasket is gone, thats where it is leaking from. So when I take it back to the dealer I am going to have to pull all the exhaust, intake an hpp3 off. What a pain. I need to find a new built trany for sure cause I am not going trew this **** again. anyone have a good 4l60 0r 65 they need to off . Sorry for the rant

 

why would you have to take all that off? it shouldnt void your warantee cause really it didnt cause the problem. stock trucks have the same tranny problems as you

 

I just figured that thats is something they could say to void it, they are crooks, think the are dealing with idiots.

 

not sure the name of the law but they cant void your warantee unless they can prove the aftermarket products caused the damage

 

Instead of taking off all the aftermarket stuff you have, just pull the water pump off and change out the gaskets. It will be allot less of a pain IMO.
I just did my water pump in the parking lot at work last friday, peice of cake.

 

Di you use a factory type gasket or an aftermarket one, seems the fact ones are pretty decent..

 

Magnuson-Moss Act.....It's good

NEW CAR & TRUCK WARRANTY

Concern
You want to upgrade your vehicle with aftermarket equipment, but you're worried about putting the vehicle's warranty at risk. It's no wonder. How many times have you heard someone at a automobile dealership say that unless the dealer installs your aftermarket equipment you will automatically void your new car warranty? This common misconception has been repeated often enough to be widely believed — though it is completely false.

The Reality
Most vehicle owners are not aware they are protected by federal law: the Magnuson-Moss Warranty — Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer's original warranty, unless the warranty clearly and conspicuously states that aftermarket equipment voids the warranty. Most states have warranty statutes, which provide further protections for vehicle owners.

In other words, a dealer can't get out of the legal warranty obligation merely because you install aftermarket equipment. To find out if any aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicle's warranty, check the owner's manual. It is likely the language you are looking for appears under a heading such as "What Is Not Covered" Although the language seems negative, remember your vehicle manufacturer is simply saying they do not cover the aftermarket products themselves. They are not saying that the products would void the vehicle warranty.


New Car Vehicle Dealer Obligations

Fact: A dealer must prove (not just say) that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before he can deny warranty coverage on that basis.
Your Rights
Point out to the dealer the provision of the Magnuson-Moss Act. Require that they explain how the aftermarket equipment caused the problem. If they can't (or the explanation sounds questionable) it is your legal right to demand they comply with the warranty.

Fact: If you are still being unfairly denied warranty coverage, there is recourse. The Federal Trade Commission, which administers the Magnuson-Moss Act, monitors compliance with warranty issues. Direct complaints to the FTC at (202) 326-3128.
