do you guys just NOT care about warantee?

ok i know alot of guys out there have warantee bla bla bla up to 36k or 60k and what not, and i know there certain mods that u guys can do wihtout voiding your warantee, but what about you guys with smaller pullies like 2.8, or like custome tunes, or meth, do you guys just wait till warantee ends or just not care about it? lol ive just always been curious how you guys go about doing it.


im assuming alot of you just dont give a crap

your mostly right, we dont give a **** because we know gm will not take care of us... other than that, it is really easy to change the quick bolt on mods that pretty much everyone has after doin them one time yourself.

That pretty much sums it up for me. Technically my car is still under powertrain 5/60 warranty, i've already cracked a piston. **** happens.

You wanna make power, you gotta pay to play.

... the techs at the local dealer are retards... they wouldn't know a modified car if it bit them in the ass.

Hell... I got my radio fixed, and the tech went to look under the hood for the battery.... WTF?


With that said... yeah... I don't give a **** about my warranty. I can fix it myself with less hassle.

I care about my powertrain warranty, but that's pretty much it. I still have my stock ECM if I ever have to take it to the dealer.

Right there, warranty saves you on money due to labor/parts, but some people that have their cars built up a little bit more and what not do their own work etc...

As for me, I run the **** out of my car, I plan on building it, when i dont know, we will see when it craps out on me so i just run the **** out of it waiting for it to happen cuz it will no doubt. but since i know it will and i plan on building it, it just gives me a reason to build it

Said it right there. I know for a FACT GM will **** us over whenever possible. They don't really want to pay for ****, it just makes the company look good when they -say- they'll cover things.

i blew my tranny at the track, and the tech knew it, because he watched me, still got it replaced under warranty WOOHOO!! it depends so much on each dealer. but when it comes to modding, you can't worry about the warranty.

100,000 mile warranty.. And I basically voided it at 10k. Although I am not doing anything TOO outrageous so the dealer is still taking care of me.

I just don't care.. I want more power.

no its called using ur brain when ur modding. everything will work 99% of the time if u know what ur doing. the 1's who have the problem are the 1's who run a 2.6" pulley and 60#'s on a gm stag.2 tune

Made of money? not so much. I just known how to do things the right way, and not cheap out. I'll never buy a used performance part, and if it's beyond my skill level of installing, I'll save up money and have someone else do it.

Make your money work for you
