[Thread Backward] Re: Banks Power ProductsMsg # 5139 of 8004 on Powerstroke Diesel Conference (1)To: Guest, From: Jason Time: Wednesday 01-28-98, 11:06 am The dealer has to prove that the aftermarket part caused the failure. The burden of proof is upon the dealer, not the owner. Jason On Tuesday 01-27-98, 07:50 pm, Guest said: -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. - On Tuesday 01-27-98, 05:03 pm, Gary Hawkins said: -- On Monday 01-26-98, 11:34 pm, MP said: ---Banks looks great for added power.
