tune theres your warrenty void right there probably even more so if its only done 3000km cause the tunes setup for safe run in from holden all the blame will be on your mods best of luck

Seriously change your name because youre far from a delco wizard. There is no run in tune thats bs like pretty much every other post you have made on this forum.

did i say there was a specific run in tune no i didnt i said that the tune is set for run in yes its not just a run in tune its set to make the engine outlast the warrenty period ,run efficiently and last as long as possible and run in nicely with no issues .you send it to a tuner they increase the timing lean it out to make better power use less fuel while cruiseing etc

well so far ive bveen argueing with about 8 differnet people all claiming no warrenty coz i have otr, a tune and a 3 inch system, they havent even pulled the rocker covers off to have alook. ricey i though you were look after me mate, no one wants to know about it untill i pull the ####en VISA out. i guess ill keep u all posted on how this shitfight goes

Lols - I wouldn't warranty it either. Its a risk you take when you mod a brand new car rofl.

Why would you want more power from 6.0L V8 in the first place?
It's a good engine to start with and I would not be touching it until warranty is out.

On the others side, the problem is that It is hard for you to prove that mods/tune did not cause the problem.
I believe when it comes to warranty issues, you're guilty until proven innocent.

I feel for you mate...but I'm afraid that it will not be covered under warranty :(
