Ram Certified used car warranty issue

[azaustin]

<div class="bbWrapper">Recently I purchased a used 2022 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 from my local dealer. It had a little over 1100 miles on it, and was, literally, like new. It had all the options I wanted, except one, which was limited slip. I told the salesmanager handling the sale that I would pay for a genuine Mopar limited slip to be installed by them, so it would be covered under warranty as a dealer-installed part. He informed me that the certified used car Warranty would be void if any modifications were made. I went along with it, but was pretty sure he was wrong, so I looked up what many people refer to as the SEMA law, but is actually the Magnusson-Moss warranty act. One of the many issues it covers is warranty claims that involve aftermarket or non-factory parts, that may or may not be installed by a dealer. Essentially, it states that the burden of proof is on the manufacturer to prove that an aftermarket part caused a failure to be able to deny coverage. <br /> <br /> My question to the forum is: What should I do? I want limited-slip on my truck and am willing to purchase a genuine Mopar unit and have it installed by a dealer. I don’t want to lose the warranty that came with the car, because it’s actually better than the original warranty from Ram. I’d appreciate any suggestions.</div>
