Re: Avoiding "voiding" the warranty
My in-service date was Feb 2007 - since I seem to be putting around 9K miles a year - my factory warranty will be good until Feb 2010 (I even saw it on the computer at the dealer)
The service manager at the dealership I go to has seen all my mods and has no problems. (They even like the "bling") Obviously they won't replace or repair any of the aftermarket parts and if my SC goes, they might not repair it "IF" the car came in with the 185 pulley - so I might have to pony up $1,500 for a SC overhaul - or swap pulley's and add a little "grease" - but if the engine sucked a valve, blew a head gasket or threw a timing chain - they would fix it..
