Ok This Is The Question. I Want To Add Stage 2 to My Car. And I Know That Every Dealer In My Area Says That It Voids My Warranty. I Know People On Here Says It Dont But Thats What They Told Me So The Question Is If I Install The Gm Stage 2 Kit Can They Tell By Just Looking At It And Can They Tell That I Have Had My Car Tuned?

tREBs

probably not, they can tell if its tuned or not by plugging into your ECU, as for the pulley itself its very hard to tell without a stock pulley for comparison, same goes for the belt/ injectors

OMG... yes they can tell, but IT DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!!!! go to the people that told you that, and punch them hard in the face. the only kit that voids your warranty is the stage 3. i dont even think they can tell that you have it tuned... i think they need more than a tech 2 to tell that. i could be wrong though.
hell, i have a non GM stage kit and i still have my warranty. what does that tell you?

justin04

so if i go to this shop were im from last chance garage and have them install and reflash it can they tell if the reflash came stock? or can they tell it was gm's stock stage 2 flash?

thats tells me i need to move to texas lol

nitrous818

they can tell. their is a diff between stock and stage 2. if somthing is wrong with your car and u take it in they will know.

splitintlss

it doesnt matter though stage 2 is covered by chevrolet. end of story.

justin04

lets say theres 2 ss/sc cobalts on the lot 1 is a non stage cobalt and the other is a stage 2 right..... ok i add the stage 2 kit to the non stage car can they tell that i didnt buy it stock with stage 2? i mean its gm parts

Mines_Better

the dealer shouldnt be able to tell that someone else tuned your car. i am not a computer expert, but i have talked to the people i bought my kit from and they say that you need more than a tech 2 to reveal that kind of stuff. GM uses the tech 2, nothing more. as long as you have their belt and pulley and stuff, i think youre gonna be fine. GM definitely covers the stage kits though.

why not just get GM to install it?

nitrous818

the point is if they can tell if its stage 2 or not

justin04

splitintlss im not saying your wrong but can you show me some proof so i can take to my dealer? when i called the chevorlet warranty number and they said it should be but when they called my dealer and i called them back they said no. so i would like something i can take them.

Mines_Better

dude, just call GM. not chevy. your dealer knows absolutely nothing!!! i promise you that.

nitrous818

maybe every state is diff?

splitintlss

they would know what they sold you the car with and what they didnt. but hey i have a question why are you asking?

Mines_Better

no, every state is not different. dealers dont just get to pick what they cover. GM decides what to cover, not Chevy.
so if im covered here in TX with a stage 2 kit, and im driving through alabama and i need service right away, im not gonna get it for free??? do you see how this doesnt make sense?
your dealer is stupid, find a new one.

justin04

The Reason Im Asking Is Because I Just Quit A Job And Went To Another And I Cashed Out My Leave Time And I Got 5 Grand To Spend. But I Dont Wanna Void My Warranty. Because God Only Knows How Much It Would Cost Out Of Pocket To Fix. And I Thought That Chevy Warranty Department Would Be The Same As Gm? Right?

Mines_Better

here is the thing... chevy is GM's bitch. think of GM as God, and all the little GM dealerships(chevy, cadillac, saturn, etc.) are the planets in the universe. well, GM can destroy any one that it wants to, when it wants to. point being, if chevy is giving you issues, go to the daddy--->thats GM. ask them and you will get the answer that everyone here is telling you.
that dealer that you are going to will take care of installing the kit and they will cover it. all you have to do is have GM call them and put them in their place. i have said this many times, but i did it and i got a whole new motor out of it.

it is best to have the dealer install it so that you definitely wont have any issues down the road.

Dead Zen

Really man your dealers are all ********. When i go to my dealer the damn service manager always asks me whats new and if i got the pullie yet.

justin04

alright guys im gonna look the number to GM and call them im at work and bored so yea thanks for your time

Mines_Better

thats how mine is too! i took it in to get a case learn because of my new computer and my service advisor asked me what i had done to it. i hesitated and then told him, only to get the oooo's and awww's. he then proceeded to whip out pics of his turbo camaro and shoot the **** with me before he took care of me.

xrayrick

you are covered no matter what state your in. As long as it's GM parts installed by a GM dealer.

Red2.4SS/SC

**** save that 5 grand get 1 more and then rebuild your motor with nice pistons rods and cams then say **** the warranty and just go in for **** like radio and electrical , and make sure you go in like every week and rev the **** out of your engine , and be like bitch warranty this

splitintlss

no worrys man im not saying your saying im wrong, just dont let the dealership make you think thats it's not covered under warranty and then not get it... i'd say go somewhere else because they dont know much

justin04

yea im tryin to find the Gm number...
