<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">funny thing, my whole supercharger rampage started at the dealer a couple of days ago, when I had my 1st oil change... Please ask your dealer what happens if its not GM warranty and you are going for service at another dealership for a warranty issue b/c you are too far from them?
You are right after doing some research it seems that most GM branded dealers are doing more "coolcharger" brand sc on their trucks a few are doing the magnuson.
To - HGW, when does the magnuson start producing boost, you mentioned that coolcharger's start at 2-3K rpm. By the way the dealers install includes an intercooler, new air intake and new ECU that is programmed for the SC and the H2 engine.
The warranty issue is number one for me, I am more worried about tranny issues in the future, more than engine issues.
Although their quote is close to $15K for everything I want (SC, titanium coated headers, and stahl torque converter all installed and warrantied, includes tuning) I think they will knock off about 33% after negotiating, this they have done for me in the past for my exhaust and other aftermarket items on two different instances, plus they said they would switch my corsa sport exhaust for the touring, which I want.
I have also asked them to sponsor my vehicle since they are just starting the highperformance shop now, ... wish me luck. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Finally someone else in the same boat as me. I will ask them tomorrow and drop you a PM as soon as I get home. Same as you warranty is number one. And if that means paying a bit more I will. I was told by the guy that installs them at my dealer that CoolChargers are pretty much all GM will use because they are easy to work on, and don't have as many problems as other superchargers thus the reason they can warranty them. They use them on a new Supped up Esclade so I'm guessing thats under GM warranty than. I mean how can GM build them "with" the Coolcharger and not warranty them? So my guess is that GM will warranty them on any truck if done at a dealer.
