Has anyone here been denied warranty work due to cleaning the contacts on the computer, after removing a chip? I REALLY want to purchase a chip and was wondering if anyone has had this happen. I understand that you can clear the code on the computer but it's still evident that a chip was there(due to the removal of the coating).

TIA

i second your request all or any chip/warranty info would be great, but the bottom line is chip and forget the warranty that is ...LOL

 

One of the reason I ask this question IS: I read that removal of the conformal on the computer is not enough to warrant a denial. Is this true?

When you go to install a chip, you must remove a black plastic cover. When you go to take your truck in for work, remove the chip and put the plastic cover back in place. The dealor would have to pull the PCM out and open it up to look at the contacts.

 

Lightning Boy-

I understand that part, I was just wondering if anyone here has had the deal pull the PCM and deny work because there were signs of tampering? Whatcha think?

 

my warranty was denied because i stated that i had a chip on this board...so they said they had evidence of a chip. i probly could of fought it but whatever. im sure i will be happy with my new engine

what was the cause for your warranty work and what year L do you have? did you say they read it on this board? WOW they are reading the boards ,how did they make the connection to you personally?

 

blown engine on a 2001. what they said exaclty is that they read my emails but since its very very hard and illegal to intercept my emails, i assumed they were talking about this board. they made the connection to my turck because i used to have my build number in my sig which was stupid.

 

Heh......amateurs

Joe,
don't go there again, it's dead!!

 

anyone else?

 

If you have a major failure of your engine they could just pull the computer out and take off the black plastic cover. It has happened before.

 

I figured they would do that.....

has this happend to anyone else? Has anyone had a major failure like this and had warranty work done even after installing a chip?

 

There IS ways to CYA..........if you know what i mean
