It all depends on the dealer. Most will let you get with new exhaust. Some will give you hell over guages or air filter. Take it for an oil change and corner the service manager while you're waiting. Some dealerships will overlook some mods as long as you pay them to install them..

 

Yah some dealers will over look simple things but the problem comes when your on the road away from that dealer and need repairs, is the next dealership going to look the other way?

Running that hard with a trailer against a head wind like you describe is going to eat fuel like crazy. The mileage might be a little low but close.

17-19 MPG pulling a horse trailer running 75 against a strong head wind with a 1999????? In your dreams!!

 

I didnt say i was pulling in a strong head wind at 75...but i have gotten that mileage with an empty trailer running 65 ish...more around the 17 mark...just flat running i get 20ish all day long, and not by the console #'s, actual miles vs. gallons.... and no i wasn't dreaming... thanks anyways..

 

Not going to argue, if you say you get 17 MPG pulling a horse trailer at 65 MPH with a 1999 4X4.
