If the only other mod was the wastegate, they also have to prove that it somehow caused a tranny issue.

Yeah I've heard some other people on SRT forums talking about that. They say taht the dealership service writers are usually assholes and don't want to warranty shit but if you call dcx you are way better off b/c they actually want to help you, one guy is getting his warrantied b/c he called dcx.

Honestly,I can't really do anything,there was'nt really much to give away "prior modification".Heat shields were on and everything!!But i don't think it's anything i wanna fight,even though fixing this is going to be a very expensive experiment.Not gonna wine about something that's my fault.
.Last time it went in for warranty work(axles and so forth)..I had a smaller problem with them not wanting to do it,but they did because "they didnt want a Srt-4 to sit" because the damage was alot to fix. ...Just looking out for all the noobs out and about doing the mod thing,If you cant afford to fix it,dont mod it.Point blank

Bro, Jamie. They have to PROOVE, by law, that any modification you did to the car CAUSED the issue that you're having in order not to warranty it. Get a lawyer. Tell the dealership you are getting a lawyer. They will warranty this, because they cannot prove that the car was modified, or that said mods caused the problems you are having. It's free to call a Lawyer and get a consult. Do it, and save yourself a LOT of time and money.

Good luck, and don't believe anything the dealer tells you. Be adamant about them PROVING that you or the mods were responsible for the damage. They cannot prove it. IE, you win.
