Dealer voided my Warranty

Well This is my first post. I have been hiding in the background for a while reading and learning. Here is my story.<br>I found a 01 3500 automatic 4x4 with a SST package installed. Yep it is a one of a kind truck. I love that truck. Well any how I noticed that the front seals on the front axle are leaking so I took it to Cecil Atkins in Burnet TX. I also asked them to check the pressure on the lift pump due to some drivability problems. I get a phone call later that night that they found a blue connection on the lift pump that to them indicated the truck &quot;had been modified&quot; They gave me some BS about another dealer voiding the warranty back before I owned the truck. I called Dodge directly and the said that the deal &quot;Cecil&quot; had vioded the warrranty because they had concerns that the &quot;supposed modification could have caused&quot; the problems. <br><br>Well make this long story short....the previous owner severly modified the truck....yep I know all about Magnuson-Moss act wife is a lawyer....and casued lots of issues with the truck...<br>Good news is original dealer bought the truck back(paid loan off) and is providing me with a 03 HO auto with same features except SST package.....at a greatly discounted price!! <br><br>Dodge CTD fan through and through.....

Re:Dealer voided my Warranty

I am glad that she is on my side....Dodge is not liking her right now...<br>They ordered in 03 Black 4x4 Auto HO CTD Larimie package..basically its loaded with a sport appearance package installed... 46k truck brought down to 40k then the dealer is going to split the difference of our trade in(buy back of our truck) at 32k and finance it for us....we also get the 2k cash back....<br>We are very lucky it worked out for us..I know for some it doesn't<br>T
