Back in my minitruck days, I had a Ford Ranger, lowered, different tires/wheels, exhaust, interior, paint, etc. Including the engine, which was internally stock, we had pulled out, painted the block to match, polished oem aluminum bits, made new aluminum bits, rewired it, so the harnesses were hidden...it was obvious when you popped the hood that it didn't leave detroit that way. Truck came with a 60,000mi warranty (this was a 1988) and at 59,100miles a piston decided to liberate everything below the bottom ring, sending pieces thru the cylinder wall. I had it towed back to the dealer, and they replaced the block, cylinder head, and piston, all under warranty. They even called me when the engine was reassembled, so I could take it to have painted again.
Now that is a mod friendly dealership. I hate hearing these stories about service managers claiming voided warranty due to unrelated stuff.
