Re: GM Warranty? i think it really depends on the dealer. if i were you, i'd remove it before going in for any type of warranty claim. and be sure to block it off if there's a flood! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Like mean machine said, it depends on the dealer. My car is cammed, headers, regeared, has a homemade open K&N intake, aftermarket brakes and more. My dealer knows this and that I run the car on roadcourse. Obviously, there's little left to warranty, but he did replace a power window motor recently. Conversely, a friend just had his entire warranty voided when the dealer found out he was running his car on track. His dealer said racing voids the warranty. From what I've seen, the dealer can do whatever he wants, and doesn't have to prove a thing. The customer has to argue his case and he's at GM's mercy.

He proceeded to show me, on the screen, a Camaro where they had replaced six transmissions, four a/c pumps, push rods and much more. At one point, they asked GM to void the warranty because he was street racing. The bottle was in plain view. GM would not void the warranty and ended up reposessing the car when the guy stopped paying for it.

Re: GM Warranty? Like what was stated before - they have to prove that the aftermarket part voided the warranty. The dealership that I go to has never hassled me at all about any of the mods on my car.
