Duh! What part of "Only if it causes an OEM part to fail. That
failure would not be covered, but the warranty would not be
voided" didn't you understand? That is why it is to ones
advantage to use OEM options, then the causal part is also
covered by the warranty.

IF the failure of the ECM can be shown to be a result from the
non OEM part it would not be covered. The warranty, or any part
if it, CAN NOT be voided only the warranty COVERAGE for that
failure. Only the causal part can result in that particular
warranty claim being denied by the manufacture. Try reading the
warranty booklet provided by the manufacture and the federal
warranty requirements, before you make yet another foolish
statement.

Normally I would not waste my time replying to a stupid posting
but I don't want your post taken as fact by someone who may
have a warranty problem because of you misinformation.
