Before I post, I will admit this is completely my fault for not opening the hood, but the Ram 1500 I purchased I realized when I got home has a K&N Cold Air Intake system installed.

From research I've done, the K&N Air Filters are junk and avoid at all costs.

I've called the dealer but not gotten a call back yet to check if this will void my warranty.

The Chrysler extended warranty site actually has a page on this (cant' tell if this site is actually Chrysler or some shell warranty company - I suspect the latter)

Quote:

A manufacturer can only void your warranty if the aftermarket modification was the cause of the warranty claim.
If the dealer comes back and says it will void my warranty, I guess I could ask them to put it back since they sold it that way, but I don't expect that to fly.

Cost to put it back would be about $320 in parts (intake housing and intake trunk) and maybe an hour of my time.

Are you going to keep the K&N sticker on your back glass? That adds a lot to the cool factor of your pickup. At least that's what my Mexican friends tell me.

1. Post free K&N intake on craiglist for 20__ Ram 1500.
2. Include $320 core charge if they don't have an OEM intake for you.
3. Install OEM intake.
4. profit

Didn't think of that, that's actually not a terrible idea. Just not sure what kind of idiots might respond.

very unlikely that will void your warranty IMO. especially since they sold it to you like that.

A) K&N is actually not garbage
B) all you have to do is the research and learn that it can not void your warranty. See Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
C) live a little an enjoy your free upgrade.

If you have to oil the filter, trash it.
