that all depends, if its under warranty your best bet is to talk to your dealership. most times if you get it done through them they will work with you warranty wise. There are chips that claim to be "hidden" but most dealers can tell when your guilty..

Yes, the truck comes with a 5yr 160,000km power train warranty (GMC) and it's a 2009. 2 years to go. That's why I was looking at the bulldog chip, it's supposed to be hidden and claims that it doesn't require a sensor to be drilled into the exhaust.

GM will chip the truck out for you as well; however it will cost more than aftermarket... but still retain the warranty.

That's the thing... our dealership here quoted something like $2250, the bulldog chip was like $650 at a local auto equipment shop. It's a hard price to swallow when I could essentially take out the better priced chip before bringing the truck into the dealership (should an issue arise). Could they really tell?

That is sucky....

is the dealer price for only the chip?? That usually around the dealer cost for a chip with intake upgrade and exhaust?

and yes they can tell if its been chipped, they actually put out cheat sheets to the service writers and mechanics for tell tale signs of chips.
