Hmmm.... best thing would be to get in good with your service manager !!

 

Depends, I'd bet. I doubt they'd cover any lower-drivetrain or suspension issues, but it shouldn't effect, say, any A/C issues, or like power accessories, etc.

 

But, I bet if you let them install it, they might cover it... Maybe worth asking.

Nothing "voids" your warranty. The ONLY way GM can deny your warranty is if the part or parts you have installed made the problem that your truck is in the shop for. Its the law.

Iam not even gonna get into that one, but yes it will void your warranty if any suspension related items go out from your steering box,tranny,rearend to the frame from added stress to wheel bearings and the list goes on. Just make a call to your dealer or any other dealer and ask them over the phone,they will tell you what you really need to know.

96, I wasn't going to contradict Chad, don't want him thinking I'm attacking him or anything :banghead:

 

 

 

We covered this once- in theory, Chad is right. In reality, he couldn't be more wrong.

 

 

 

Yes, I am well aware of the federal law that dictates all this. Tell that to your dealer when you pull in with a 6" lift, complaining about your front half-shafts or something suspension related :(

 

 

Ain't gonna happen. But that's why I said let them do the work, they'd probably cover it then, but you'll pay dearly for the work !!!!!! If they'd do it at all.....

 

 

Hell, I've heard of Quadrasteer owners being harassed about putting oversized tires on their trucks :rolleyes: EVEN when it's an optional size from the factory :shakehead:

 

 

Anything to get out of warranty work :wtf:

Awesome, awesome link, Rookie. Thanks :banghead:

 

But they used my example almost exactly- the aftermarket exhaust voided his power windows ?? That's ridiculous, I'm sure we'd all agree.

 

But I'll fall back on my lift example- lift and complain about suspension or lower drivetrain and see what happens. EVEN if there is a known problem, they'll try to worm out.

 

That doesn't mean you have no recourse- you can always take them to court. But many folks won't go that route, due to the extra costs involved, the time frame, etc.

 

I certainly agree with you about the Act, but the reality is quite different.

 

 

Just my .02 :rolleyes:

My service guy just chuckled when I asked him about the "waranty" now that it's lifted. I believe he said uh that's a by case by case decision.

The dealer I bought my truck actually sells a NEW lifted truck. I asked them about that and the warranty issue and they said that it was done by a GM certified place in TX, so the complete warranty was in place.

There are places around here that sell them as well.

 

The one closest to me has a couple of lifted crew cab Dmax trucks with 20" rims and big ole' Nitto Mud Terrains on there. Along with the "Regency" conversion on them, they sticker out over 60k....But they warranty them.

 

Same with the Joe Gibbs trucks, as long as it comes from a "second stage manufacturer", validated through GM...They'll honor the warranty.

Sounds like the same thing. I believe the sticker for the one I saw was like in the 30's but maybe they were just trying to get rid of it too??? I know after a new truck sits for 90 days on a lot they are in a big hurry to unload it.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
