>> Yeah I got blackballed by the area rep 2 weeks ago. Complete BS-- the
>> tranny rebuild was a complete FUBAR by the dealership 1850 miles later
>> it comes apart--, and all that the area rep can comment on (after I told
>> him specifically I had an M1, a mopar PERFORMANCE part sold by their
>> dealerships, and Mopar Headers)--- "UH-- your truck is heavily
>> modified, it does not have mopar headers (BS, they are ceramic coated),
>> your truck doesn't have a mopar intake manifold (HELLO, it's not a
>> factory manifold, but It's definitely mopar-- has the LOGO Pentagram
>> right there), uh-- you don't have stock valve covers (I do, they are
>> powdercoated)-- UH-- your truck has different seats (YEAH, sure does,
>> WTF does that have to do with a transmission that had a defective
>> reman'd mopar converter installed + a tranny that was 2 quarts over
>> filled + the tech left the magnet out of the pan!)--- and you have some
>> sort of exhaust system on this truck--- I am denying any warranty
>> claims, and also flagging your truck to prevent further services by any
>> DC dealership-- they will not service your vehicle. If you have any
>> questions, call me. Have a Happy New Year!"

>> I've got a few printout sheets to let yawl know-- mopar is averaging 490

>> ALSO-- local dealership-- a guy recently came in with a 2002 3.9L dakota
>> for a 3k oil change. During the oil change he noticed a Mopar Cold Air
>> Intake kit in the parts department-- he asked a few questions, and $300+
>> dollars later, the mechanics threw it on. Then about 2-3 months later
>> he came back with a condensor that blew, and dumped all the R134...
>> dropped off the truck (it had only ~12k miles on it)-- and that
>> afternoon was told it would cost him $9xx.00 dollars for the repair...
>> WTF? I have a 7/70 powertrain warranty --- Well, turns out DC had a
>> inspector going around, and the day he had his cold air kit installed, 3
>> months back, they checked his vehicle during the oil change, and noticed
>> the intake-- took down the vin number and off he went... and the
>> inspector VOIDED his warranty, without warning or notice. That said,
>> the gentleman with the 3.9L 2002 is now suing DC, and the dealership,
>> and is mad as hell.
>>
>> Wonder how this new Mopar SPEED crap is going to pan out-- let's see--
>> we sell the parts that will void your warranty, and we'll have a new
>> catalog for it too.
