hey guys i was wondering if i change my torque converter and valve body will void my warranty? i dont like my tc much it slips and i dont think the dealer will do crap.....i want to get the triple lock tc from ats. i also want there valve body upgrade.....if i do this will my warranty on my truck be voided?????? ???

Hoss

The warranty on the drivetrain will likely be voided....but maybe not, depending on which dealership you go to for service.

i dont understand tho...it is making it better...it doesnt increase hp or torque...there is less straighn on parts right??? ???

Hoss

I know....but they're kind of stupid. Actually, you might be okay since you're just changing the TC. You could find out pretty easy by asking the service manager at the dealership you use.

yeah ill ask on my next oil change.....if they say no cant i say something about that act that if you improve your vehicle they cant void the warranty?

Hoss

Certainly...just read up on it first so you know what you're talking about.

do you know the name of the act its the _______ ____ acts i dont know the first two words

Hoss

Magnusson Ross....but I'm not sure if that's spelled right. Basically, if there was a problem they'd have to prove that it was your TC that caused the problem in order to void your warranty.

man i have a feeling the odds are gonna be way against me even if i know what im talking about....im only 18...they will laugh at me cuz im so young...

I would suggest that you read the warranty booklet. Especially pages 12 and 13. I would not expect Dodge to warrant anything that they did not build and install. Nor would I expect them to cover damages caused by non Dodge parts.

They could easily not perform warranty work on your tranny. Dodge didn't build and warranty the 48re to run with ATS parts, they built and warrantied it for Dodge parts. Besides, with that other stuff in your sig your gonna do your all ready gonna be your own warranty station for you powertrain.

yeah but if i just get the trans stuff and not the other stuff for a while why would it all be voided.....THIS SUCKS :'(

I may be wrong, but if you read what ATS has to say on their web page they claim that Dodge is offering the trpl/loc tc as an opt. w/ the HO & 48re. I think I would approach the dealer about Installing the ats tc for you. Just my thoughts on the subject.
