I am going to the dealer eventually for the roll over valve recall. I know it would be a very good idea to remove all evidence of mods .My question is exactly how do you hide that big ol hole i drilled in manifold for the thermocouple?

 

Get a piping plug to fit in there, but they should not be able to say anything about a mod. They have to prove that it is a cause of the problem. I think that it is a law about that.

 

Where can you fing a piping plug? When the dealer ask why you have the plug there, what would you tell them?

 

Tell em "I was going to put on some gauges & decided against it until my warranty is up, unless you will let some little performance parts slide (wink wink)."

 

I do thank you for the advice, Ron.

You won't have to worry about your thermocouple. If you have a chip you'd want to remove it. I just had some work done on mine and I only removed my Va. I left the adjustable boost elbow and all my guages and nothing was said. The only thing I 've ever taken off is the Chip and boost elbow wtih no problems. Good luck

Find pipping plugs at you local hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depot etc. all should have copper or brass pipping plugs.

 

Leave your gauges on it, if they say anything, tell them you like to monitor your truck while towing, because diesels exhaust can get hot when towing, and you want to be sure everything is fine.

 

tell them it aint modded any what you put on your truck is none of their buisness.

 

i leave the gauges in. but i wouldnt put a brass pipe plug in there. gets too hot and make soften just enough to make it really a pain in the rear to remove.

but I absolutely agree with happy

 

shoot when i was running my Edge chips i went to the dealer with both of them plugged in. Not a word was said. The service advisor and I even talked about my FASS pump.

 

I am not worried about them seeing it i am worried about a voided warranty when something really goes wrong. If my local dealer sees any aftermarket they tend to get "VOID HAPPY"

 

Don't worry about gauges. They won't say a thing about them. Now, those twins and BHAF might cause a problem!
