you guys all b*tch and moan about responsibilty so why dont we just make these "tuner cards" that give the A/F and timing of the chip available?? to me, THAT would be taking responsibility.
if you look at it from a consumer's angle instead of kissing your vendor's a$$, how many care that some shmuck threw a 6 lber. on his L w/o a chip?? does it effect you??? no, he/she is the idiot. but when a tuner *messes up* or *misinforms you* about what your chip's settings are...more than likely it has or will happen to more than one person. to me, THAT's more scary.
some people on here probably aren't as knowledgeable about our L's but that doesn't give ANYONE the right to bend them over and....

Chances are your mods broke your motor so it should be your responsibility, not the OEM's. If you wanna play you gots ta pay.

94LightningGal,
Look what you started, it's great.
Kind of reminds me of time I went to a morals and ethics class with some guys from the PD and FD.
It is funny how ethics vary from person to person.
How can some of these people sleep at night knowing that someone else has to pay for their mistakes?
If everyone had that attitude, pretty soon, none of us could afford a new car because the cost of warranty work would be so outrageous. You don't think the auto manufacturers are going to keep swallowing this expensive pill without some recourse do you?
The thread that may never die

and as for warranty, i guess i'm not fortunate enough to have purchased a PERFECT truck from the factory since my tips are dragging, my front/rear bumpers are misaligned as is my bed, and my foglights are cracked. i'm sorry for upping the warranty cost for the rest of you but my truck is just a freak
. maybe next time i'll give miss cleo a call before i visit the dealership for a new car or buy an aftermarket chip.

well i figure these days w/ all this "blame-shifting" that ms. cleo is as honest as anyone
how bout i BUY that coupon from you, but it turns out that by the time i receive advice its AFTER the coupon's limit, pay 4 bucks/min....then instead of blaming you for selling me the BS coupon..i just keep it to myself and put another tally mark on the "you play you pay" wall.
