Any modifications to the vehicle that affect the powertrain can void the
powertrain warranty. Blame it on the lawyers. I agree with ya Brian, but
these days, ALL manufacturers are covering their a$$es - just to save money.

Theoretically, nothing would "void" the whole warranty, but anything you
changed, such as new suspension components would obviously not be covered
under warranty anymore. There is a huge myth that any aftermarket parts
will automatically void the entire warranty, which is totally not true.
Basically the dealer has to prove that the parts you installed caused the
problems you are trying to get fixed under warranty. The mods you listed
shouldn't have any affect on the warranty for the motor or tranny.

Subject: DML: Mostly OT - 09 Ram Fuses and Warranty Issues
First off, while I was at the dunes last weekend I blew the fuse for the
cigar lighter outlet when I was airing up my tires. There was a recent
thread about this in the 2000 Dakota and that circuit was 15 amp, is it the
same in the 09 Ram? Also any idea which fuse it is? The listing on the fuse
box doesn't help.
Secondly, what modifications would void the Lifetime Powertrain warranty? At
this point I'm planning on a 2 1/2" or 6" lift, 35"
tires, a K&N, a chip, headers, and pipe.
