I know this question tends to get some heated/critical responses so just sit out if you haven't had your coffee today please! You can see my truck below, I am POTENTIALLY looking at trying to juice her up a bit. Start with Jay Greene tune then get spicy and go whipple/procharger later? Here are my questions for those who have direct knowledge:
1) I currently have the maxcare extended warranty, any of these mods has the ability to void a warranty, do I just cancel the maxcare? or do I keep it because the freaking 12" screen costs $4-5k so if that ever broke the maxcare would pay for itself? similar story for any of the electronics away from the drivetrain
2) There are always if/what/thens when pulling the pcm but is there a way to give yourself the best chance of keeping warranty work if something breaks? Do you keep the stock pcm and throw it in every dealer visit to hope they dont notice and have it show constant flashes throughout its life (I know there are codes that will say pcm has been affected/switched but maybe they dont look)? Do you install the base engine tunes but stay away from any trans tunes because they'll be more strict with that? Just trying to hear other's opinions on this will DEFINITELY kill your chances, this might not, etc
3) Does every single component of the drivetrain lose warranty status with the whipple/procharger? Again, I know they have to prove the mod caused the issue but lets be honest, if the trans blows they're not going to do a very thorough CSI other than to point fingers and leave it in my hands to fight back. Maybe I am answering my own question here...
I was also hoping to have this post stir up some folks who have gone with Jay in the past. I have seen a few posts end before the OP has come back with a real review of the tune, or if anyone has gotten on the dyno to prove gains, so hopefully this inspires people to chime in now.
