OrionStang Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 No doubt. Pretty sure they'll be surprised when I bring up Federal Law, though. Could get interesting, i'm no dummy LOL. Forget all the noise ken get that short block build started. LOL, i'd still need heads. The block is 7k, the heads and valve train would be another 5k. Damn bottom end was supposed to break, not a valve. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
FuriousG Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 They can't void the warranty due to the presence of the addons, but i'd shit if they cover anything that could have been damaged due to the aftermarkets. We just kicked a 2014 Duramax out 2 weeks ago after he lost 2 cylinders when the PCM configs didn't match factory. Unless you have a very lenient dealer that is willing to take the hit and cover the warranty as factory, we do honor shady parts from time to time for customers that have stuck around for a long while. Good luck!
OrionStang Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 Well, Canada, I'm pretty sure Federal law means "US" Federal law. Leniency has nothing to do with that. Im running very low boost, and total rated HP is under max for the motor. They will lose, even if I have to take it to court. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

OrionStang Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 did a Ford dealer install the kenne bell? Thats irrelevant. It was "properly" installed, and by an authorized shop. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Miguels Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 it is relevant. if it was done by a Ford it would be much easier. Ford really doesnt know what the installer did and will blame it for the mechanical failure.. tuning/flashing the ecm voids warranty on the powertrain.. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

Not if the flashing is part of the S/C install. They can fight it all they want, i'll fight back. Thats one of the great things about our shitty legal system, the small print.

Miguels Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 it doesnt void your warranty but it voids certain claims my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
OrionStang Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 Well, a non-void warranty means they will fix it under warranty LOL. Trust me, i've done some homework. All fucking day. Hell, I can even pay for the repair now, and sue for compensation later, just to speed up the process if they decide to fight. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Miguels Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 put it this way.. if you install headers on your car your engine will still have warranty but your gasket and exhaust wont. im all over the net trying to find out for you and many say you are going to have to pay to fix it.. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
