Did Modding Ur Ecu Void Ur Guys Warranty?

 

Depends on the dealer....

 

its all up to the dealer unless gm does decide to investigate which never really happens

 

In the current state that GM is in and I believe they will not make it from my sources inside the company....GM is looking for tunes and such on these cars..... All LNF powered cars for that matter..... And they are investigating things... often these days.....

Besides, the Government is now part owner of all our cars...

 

umm the government can suck my dick and so can a dealer if they void my warrenty **** obama i dont like him just my opinion but if you get to be friends with a tech you should be good

 

I'm sure you really have insider information (lol).


To answer your question though...Yes Re-programming your ECU can void your warranty. I've had 1 friend ever get his car blacklisted (yes they use that term) from GM, that was on a 2001 GTP with everybolt on possible, GM covered 2 trannies under warranty BEFORE they said enough is enough, though I will admit the 2nd trannie was a defective unit (had a bad TC).

Its all going to depend on your local dealer and what issue you go in for. That is why I would recommend getting a 2ndry ECM and have it re-programmed, then us your stock one if you happen to need it for a dealer visit. Or wait for the GM Tune which "might" be out sometime this year, though I'm not sure. I know a service director at my local dealer, while I had the car in for its first oil change over the weekend (tuned and all..which they did check for codes w/ none present) we were talking, they need any business they can get right now, and I dont think they are worried about GM wanting them to "really get down to investigate each issue". Now if you come in w/ a blown motor or something more "out of the norm" they have always done that.

 

Oh I will give Brad a heads up on this one.

In a nut shell...before any tech can do any powertrain work on your car...they have to scan the tune, take a picture of it, and send it to GM.

Then GM looks to see if the parameters have been changed, and say aye or nay...it isn't like a tech can just 'do it under the radar' so yes, tuning your ecm gangsta cheese, will void your powertrain warranty.

And if anyone screams and whines and moans about the M/M act I am going to kick you square in the ******* nuts

 

In that case I'm happy that I got the stage kit. Plus all bolt ons. I hope they release it for you guys sometime soon

 

or you could just have a badass person like matt from ttp tune it for you so if something goes wrong he can just put your stocky back on for you b4 you go in

 

i got a transmission replaced with out thme scanning my tune taking a picture of it and sending it.... if you have the hahn bolt ons do you really think they would care to send him a plaque if they wouldnt do warrenty work if you had them on your car i have all of the hahn stuff except the catback and a tune and my tranny was warrentied

 

Maybe it's just me. If your car dies overnight in the garage go ahead and flash it back to stock (they can still tell if this has been done) and call the wrecker. If your car dies on the side of the road in West Callabash?? "who ya gonna call" the wrecker or the guy with the stock flash. Bet you call the wrecker first. Now you're gonna tell me to tow it to my house and have it flashed there then call the dealer. But West Callabash?? is 1500 miles from home. Bet that's gonna make your wallet pocket a little thinner and lighter. And wait! You still have to pay a wrecker to take it to the dealer. While all the while worrying if they will plug in their DDM. Damn Diagnostic Machine. I think I'll just take a lot of nice long trips and then modify the **** out of after the warranty is up. And I'll STILL be having fun dusting most of the others out there, except that guy with the foreign tune. Oh yea! His car is in the shop and he's working all the overtime he can get to pay the repair bill.

"To each his own" I always say.

Happy trails.
