[Thread Backward] Re: Banks Power ProductsMsg # 5131 of 8004 on Powerstroke Diesel Conference (1)To: Gary Hawkins, From: Guest Time: Tuesday 01-27-98, 07:50 pm The factory warranty covers defects in factory supplied materials and workmanship. In other words, if you overstress the engine beyond what the factory designed if for by adding aftermarket equipment and the failure is not due to a DEFECT in the factory supplied equipment, you are Sh*t out of luck. No kind of legislation anywhere makes the factory liable for modifications you make. If you blow your glow plug relay and have a Banks kit installed, of course there is no connection. But if you throw a connecting rod or fry the tranny because you exceeded the design basis-and there is no defect in the part-you are up the creek.
