If the dealership does it, it will be warrantied by them. Though I'm sure you will pay a good penny for it though. You can always take it to a shop that gives you a good warranty on their parts and labor.
4-Wheel Parts can do it. They offer great warranties. Plus you need that locker in there. No more one wheel peel!!
Come see me or PM me when you want to put some bigger wheels and tires on it.
Congrats on the new truck!

Good choice. I like black RCSB trucks! I wouldn't get too crazy with mods on your truck until you get some miles on it and make sure it's a solid truck. Sure, you can get an intake and catback exhaust now but wait on the suspension mods, PCM tune, etc. Since your truck is black, I would tint your side and rear windows, remove the molding on the doors, and debadge your tailgate.

Yeah, told them I wanted to switch my 3:23's for 3:73's...and I got "well, for the parts and labor.....you'd be lookin at something around $850!" I said thanks and hung up. Got it contact with a guy in Santa Fe, if you buy the parts he will install for $150...plus he told me if it starts whining or making noise; just bring it back!

As long as you don't tear into the motor then they can't really "Void" your warranty. Go to SEMA's website and you can read more info, but basically if you take it in for service and the problem is NOT directly linked to that mod, then it is not void. I.E. if your shock busts and you have longtubes on they can not void your warranty. If they try then make a few phone calls and they'll be paying a pretty penny in fines!

I heat it with a hair drier for 2-3 minutes and just peel. Then use Goo-Off to remove the excess grime. Takes all of 5 minutes.
