This is the same post I put in the GT forum, but wanted to make sure ALL saw it. The moderator may want to make at least the link to the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act sticky so anyone with a warranty problem can get to it fast.
Ok, I am a noob here. go ahead and get any bashing outta your system... done? ok... I am a Senior Member of
www.3si.org (same screen name; do a search if u must) and I see a trend here that I saw there awhile back.... Warranty confusion.
"don't get such and such part cuz it will void your warranty". WRONG!!!
true, some parts do indeed void warranties, however, the VAST majority of them do not. further, merely using the part (i.e. an MHI 18G Turbo) CANT void the warranty, it must be PROVEN that that part led to whatever failure your having.
Now, that said, one thing I personally hate is when some know-it-all comes in spouting out information and doesn't have proof so:

this is all outta the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act. If you do a search in yahoo (or whatever engine u like) you will get TONS of info on this (to include the entire act from the FTC website).
Hope this helps!!
