Ok, first off I wasn't bashing the youngens. Second of all, I did see that same research paper because I had to read it for college. Here's my explanation that I am quoting:



As far as knowing computers, know who you are talking to. I was a computer science/information systems major before I realized I don't want to sit behind a desk all day. I worked in the IT department before I went to Northern Illinois University. I graduated from a community college near me with an Associates in Applied Science. I then went to NIU for a year before I got tired of the business classes associated with the degree. Since I hate corporate America, I went into the automotive industry to fullfill my second passion. Turns out I am better at this. My computer skills have helped me in this field. I have been through 4.5 years of post-high school education.

So, long story short, yes, spelling doesn't matter, grammar doesn't matter, computer skills don't matter, whatever...this is an AUTOMOTIVE FORUM. And, there are people on here that know FAR MORE than you do. You come on here asking questions about your car and cars in general. People will gladly answer you. We don't need to bash each other because of knowledge. All I was stating is that I'm tired of people coming on here and throwing around the knowledge they THINK they know of the dealership and of the automotive field in general. For the 10% of people on this forum who are actually employed by the industry, they understand where I am coming from.

By the way, I am 23, so I am not old or young.

:clap:
AMEN brother. Last I checked, spelling does matter, especially if you're programing.

Now, I like dealers, yes they cost more but you get what you pay for. I've been around enough shops to know. I can get an ASE Certified sign, slap it on my garage and call myself a mechanic. I can also shove feathers up my a$$ and call myself a chicken.

$hit or get off the pot!!!!!

HAHA...only American car dealers want ASE anyway...everyone else wants factory certification.

But, yes, dealers are expensive, but for the reason stated above. The techs are certified to work EXACTLY on that make. So, they SHOULD know it inside and out. Yes, you will have parts changers, but usually they know the car.

And, as far as warranty info goes, I forgot to mention is that if you want Ralliart parts, you have to buy them through the dealer. They don't want to be held liable for stuff you buy and have installed. Second, if you have, say an intake, installed on your car, and it's a problem, they won't fix it because it's something you put on your car.

granted I can understand ya,

but every1 else thunks yer un ****.


We may be on the internet and never meet each other but I know that what I think of people, reflects on how well I will help them.
I know that if UTIBanger asks anything I will bust to give him every ounce of info I can get to have his issue resolved.

I appreciate the way he takes time out to help others and his amazing ability to spell things correctly.

And no, you do not know more about computers than I do, I guarantee you know more about web pages because that is not my specialty.

I am a regional manager for Vonage VoIP, and can also out tool you any day of the week in an engine bay. Just because one person states that they do something for a living does not mean they are not proficient in other things.

By the way, I am 21 with more worldly experience than you will gain in the next ten years.



But this isn't a pissing match, the point is if you portray yourself as an **** that cant spell and asks stupid questions I guarantee that people will not be helpful as they would to someone they respect.

UTI I just noticed your in illy!

Still in Bartlett?

I appreciate that. I try to help anyone/everyone that I can, even if they are sarcastic with me. Yes, I realize we are off-topic, so I don't need anyone telling me that.

Here, I'll do it myself:
:offtopic:

Anyway, with that said, there's one thing you have to be careful with in warranty situations. If they can use your problem as a reference to what you have done to your car, i.e. your air/fuel ratioo is out of whack and it's causing your engine to run lean, which in turn leads to detonation and piston problems. If they can prove that your aftermarket intake is letting in TOO much air without your MAF being properly calibrated to compensate for your increased CFM, they won't cover it!

the whole point of this post was to ask about the warranty and get different oppinions and see if any one actually knew from mitsubishi what they would and wouldnt install.

:offtopic:
not to point fingers or throw the blame game but FiReBReTHa starte the whole thing with spelling errors and stuff. and thats not what i had intended to do.

now cant we all just :grouphug: and :beer:

I understand trust me, but I also understand his point. When I bought my car from Mitsubishi, I asked them right out if any mods would void the warranty and that's what he told me (what I posted up higher).

yea, I just cracked, too much quirks were getting to me and I was just like, "ARRRGGGG" (pirate voice)

hearing silly questions over and over and lack of the search can drive one mad, Now throw in bad spelling and I just couldn't handle noobs anymore.

and the same junk of, I am going to put a ballbearing superchargedTurbo from a diesel onto my GS.
Will that void my warranty? or where can I buy it?

No, it might not. If you get the industrial-spec 6psi version, I think you will be ok.

this was the original post that started it all. and after i posted it i went to the dealer and asked and got answers back. as i stated, the dealer will install after market items IF and ONLY IF they are made by mitsubishi. they also informed me that they do not install other products that do no have the mitsubishi brand name on them.

That's what we were trying to say earlier...again, not to sound like a broken-record...but it's the whole Dinan/BMW thing...

I know and im leaving it as the last post so people will hopefully (keeping my fingers crossed) read it that way.

Yea, I feel a bit foolish because looking back, ALL the dealerships I worked with I had friends in. derrr....


I have my wife's friends brother as a head tech at a mitsu dealer, I am trying to buddy up with now :)
