Hi all! New member here. I've been snooping around some different sites here lately and this one is great. I just want to learn all that I can about these engines. I'm a former Powerstroke guy and learned a ton over at thedieselstop.com and hopefully learn alot here.
Here's a few questions that I have:

Will a straight pipe void my warranty?....'Cause this stock crap is tooo quiet.

What's the best way to go as far as buying a chip? I see that a lot of people run the "Edge-Ez"...but I know that there's a "SCMT" and "powerpuck"... and then there's Blue Chip Diesel's Blue Box. I've heard some awesome feedback on the blue box so I just wanted get some feedback from you guys and say hello all at once.

Welcome to this AWESOME site. There is literally a ton of info here with a plethera of members who can help you out of most jams.

You're right about straight piping voiding the warrenty, but most dealers kinda turn their head when it come to that (most members have had no problems with warrenty by straight piping).

If you try a search for "edge" "powerpuck" "tst" or "bluechip" you will find hours upon hours of reading material and you can see the pros and cons of each. You can make up your mind from there. Welcome and good luck.

Welcome

This is definitely a good forum

I've gotten a lot of good info here.

To void your warranty on whatever, the dealer has to prove that what you did caused the problem.

For instance, your tie rods probably won't get warrantied with lift kit installed.

But, say your VP44 goes out. Then the dealer has to prove that the straight pipe caused it. Which would probably be hard to do.

They can BS you but they have to prove it. There is a name for the law about it, but I can't remember what it is called.
