Can anyone tell me if altering the suspension will void my warranty, or to what extent I can before it would...I.E. Bwoody sways, Eibach suspension.
The Magnuson-Moss Federal Act basically states that if the modifications one does to their vehicle CAUSES a malfunction, then the dealer does not have to cover it. But, if the starter f's up right after you changed out the suspension...they have to cover it. ;)

Dutch Nitro is is The Netherlands, does this Act only apply to the USA? I wonder if there is similar legislation in other countries to protect the automotive consumer?

LOL, the jet chip is plug and play? you plug it in, it works, you unplug it, it stops working, why would you need a 2nd ECU?

If you were doing the bg chrysler ecu upgrade, sure it'd be nice to have an OEM flash and a bg flash in case something engine wise did happen...

Here's my dumb question for the day (okay, so maybe it's my dumb question for the hour actually. I've got the Jet Chip. If for some reason they had to re-flash the Nitro due to some type of re-call fix, would that damage the Jet Chip or would it be transparent?

What does one have to do with the other? The jetchip is just a piggy back ECU..

kinda like having a nagging wife in the passenger seat making you drive a little faster..

WhiteNitroCA, wouldn't that be more like two nagging wives sitting in the passenger seat, one on top of the other. The one on top is wearing a spandex mini-skirt screaming faster-faster while the one underneath is yelling at the top of her lungs, get off me you crazy bit*h!

Simple....I paranoid, I don't want the ecu recording any thing (if it even does i don't know) but don't want to take any chances voiding the extra $1500 warranty
