Default What can I do that won't void the warranty?

I'm planning on buying a 2012 rcsb 5.3 6l80e 4x4 and want to know what I can get away with and not void the warranty. I know it is kind of up to the dealer and what problems I would have, but I would like to know what they generally will let slide. I plan on lowering, color matching and new wheels/tires but I just don't know what to do performance wise. I plan on throwing a kb or trick turbo kit in a year or two so I don't want to do anything that wouldn't be needed then. I have also heard that you could probably buy a different computer and get a tune on it, keeping the stock computer in case something happens.

Just brainstorming, anyone else thought about this?

Well that's no fun. I know I'm going to void the warranty, I just wanted to avoid it until I turbo it.

Yeah, but there is always that chance I get one that does have problems. Who knows, the itch to mod might take over sooner rather than later.

I never though of warranty since day one, so simply everything will void the warranty.

Darn the luck, I hate chrome! Guess I will have to void the warranty and color match.
