Will this work and will it void warranty?

I have about 7000 miles on my truck and have been very strict in what mods I do in regards to the factory warranty. I have heard of this:

http://www.rokktech.com/_mgxroot/page_10437.html

And I have read the posts about this Rokkteck crankshaft sensor but have not seen a post that addresses this.

Will this void my warranty since I'm sure the computer will record a +2 degree change in the timing and will be detected if pulled up? OR---Does the Dodge specs specify + or - 2 degrees in which case it would be OK (within spec).

If its safe as far as Dodge warranty concerns, it will be a mod that I would do. Big " if " though

Guess it could void the warranty. But Dodge would have to remove the sensor to even tell it was modified. And the computer wouldn't detect a 2 degree change.

So does putting this Rokktech sensor on the truck do the same thing as the Tone Ring mod I keep reading about? Or is this something you can or may do in addition to it?

Yes, the tone ring mod does the same timing advance as the Rokktech sensor.

Thanks MikeyB,

I sent them my number to contact me. If the Sensor will do the same thing, I feel a little more comfortable putting it on rather than pulling the ring off and cutting it out, etc...and fighting with the bolts, etc.

Sounds like I can just keep my stock sensor, and put it back on if I ever go to a box that adjusts timing/duration etc....in the future. Am I right? Then it wouldn't over advance the timing and cause problems.

Yes, you could put the original sensor back on if going to a box that does timing or you can adjust the Rokktech back to the stock position.

Thanks again MikeyB,

I will order one as soon as they call me. Be nice if they had a phone number on their website for me to call. If they did, I didn't see it.
