I'm new here, too.
Just wanted to say hello from Louisiana and ask a couple of questions:
I am going to replace my '97 Sierra (bought new) in a couple of months with (probably) a brand-new Silverado or Avalanche. I've read many things about programmers, performance chips and the like, and am wondering if these things are worth the money spent on them. I want to be able to squeeze every extra mpg I can out of my new ride. Also, do these things void a new vehicle warranty? |

Welcome to FSC. To answer your question, programmers and performance chips will void your warrenty if they are units that write data on the factory electronics. You can get programmers/chips that dont leave data on the factory stuff, and that way when the dealership plugs their scanning equipetment into your truck they wont see what you've had, and they wont void your warrenty because of it.
