KenP,

Sorry, it's been a busy Monday.<span class="ev_code_RED">I understand.</span>

We do not currently offer an additional powertrain warranty like Magnuson.

At the volumes that we could commit to the warranty was going to be too expensive. As our volumes increase, the price of the warranty will go down and we will start to offer it.

From what I've found you really need to read the fine print. There are a lot of exclusions. If you are going to make your purchase decision on this point, I would make sure you get the warranty and talk to them exactly what is excluded and the process that it takes to get the warranty.<span class="ev_code_RED">I'm very familiar with the fine print. But that's a good point. Anyone offering a warranty will have exclusions.</span>

That being said, it is illegal for a dealership to automatically void your warranty by installing an aftermarket part. Search on the magnuson moss warranty act and you'll find a ton of information on it.<span class="ev_code_RED">Again, I'm very familiar with the Act. However, other's may not be and should read it before spending so much money. In this case, most claims with the engine, exhaust, transmission, computer, differentials, etc. would surely not be covered by GM.</span>

If you do have a warranty claim and they can prove that it was the aftermarket part that caused it, they can at that point NOT honor the warranty.<span class="ev_code_RED">Yes, they would have to prove it was the fault of the aftermarket accessory. We're back to that proof thing again. It can be subjective. And it can cause problems on both ends.</span>

Does that answer your question?<span class="ev_code_RED">Thanks for taking the time Ben. I think you answered them as well as you can. I appreciate it. I'm sure other's will have more questions since this is such a unique application.</span>

Thanks,

Ben </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Lastly, I know several people really want to see the underside modifications that were needed on the rails. cammon didn't help out there. Maybe you have a pic or two that would help.

Thanks again for the time, Ben.
