Removed my Chip !

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 17-Aug-01 AT 10:28 PM (EST)[/font][p]Danny;

I pulled my chip out to return it for the reprogramming. What a differance. I got real used to the power and performance that I had with the chip. Now it can't seem to get out of its own way.

IS MY CHIP DONE YET?????????? LOL.

I really miss it. I can't believe that little chip would make such a big difference.

I apprecate everything you guys are doing to get me straitened out.

Thanks guys,
Jim

I hope you're out of warranty. A chip will void your warranty.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-Oct-01 AT 05:41 PM (EST)[/font][p]Are you sure it will void your warranty rdeat183? If so, how is it that you know that and how can Superchips Diablo Sport Chips and others advertise that it is absolutely illegal for your warranty to be voided because of a chip being installed?

The DiabloChip will not void or affect the factory warranty in any way. This is a very misunderstood subject in the aftermarket customer circles. There is a law protecting vehicle owners from just this fraudulent behavior practiced by some automotive dealers. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty- Federal Trade commission Improvement Act of 1975. Under the Magnusson-Moss Act, aftermarket equipment that improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty, unless the warranty clearly states the addition of aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicles warranty or that the aftermarket device is the direct cause of the failure. The easiest way to check this is to look in your owner’s manual under, "what is not covered".

rdeat183, how do you feel about talking to the people at Diablo or Superchip? Perhaps they can enlighten you?
