This may be a silly question but if you buy gm performance parts will the dealer install them and does it affect your warranty?? Did a search a nothing came up

 

yes and ur warrenty will be fine

 

yes they will at a cost, and no it wont effect your warranty, espescially if they do it

 

yes they will. It will cost to install. And no warangy problems

 

so in other words, BRING ON THE STAGES!!! and labor would be something like $65/hr(may be more now, it used to be that) and they look upthe cost and if its a "6 hour job" you pay $390.... on top of the cost of the parts... it may only take them 2 hours to do the work, but they have all of the labor cost in their system, though it could work out for your favor if a 3 hour job turned into a 6, lol

or that is the way it used to be(my dad was a technician for a GM dealership here for a few years)

of course it also depends on the dealer, my brother had a set of 3.73 gears bust in his Trans Am(due to a local shop not getting the pension gear tight enough) and he checked on getting a set of gears put back in at the chevy dealership, they wanted like $1300 to do it, lol... He said no thanks and got another speed shop to put another set in for $350

 

i've always wondered about that?? how do they do it with stage 2 for the supercharged vehicles?? do they cost for labor??

 

yeah its going to cost for labor, lol

they aren't doing anything for free, they do run a business afterall

 

yes they will do it to keep your warranty.. but dont be surprised when they rape you on cost

 

I've never heard of a pension gear...pardon my car ignorance. I've heard of a pinion gear (of "rack and pinion" pinion), is that what you meant to type or is this an automatic Trans Am and there's a planetary gear I've never heard of?

 

Well as you can tell from all the posts yes the dealer can install any part you wish for a price. However it affecting your warranty depends on the part. Some parts in the catalogue are marked Off-road items ONLY. Don't expect a dealer to cover one of those parts with a GM factory warranty. On the up side most of the parts with that label are whole engines and come with their own independent coverage. The only thing labeled as such for a cobalt is the stage 3 kit and maybe the cam blanks if I recall correctly. If in doubt get it in writing from your dealer.

 

whoops yeah the pinion gear, proof that spell check is useless when you use the wrong damn word
