[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1413593, member: 31322"] lol actually I don't have a problem (yet? knock on wood I guess?) & I also purchased a 100k b2b extended warranty, & I also plan on adding a tune - which is why I was asking about how long you can go on driving the truck w/ this issue going on, from what I had read/researched previously you're kinda confirming what I thought - that once you have the problem identified you can continue driving w/o causing excess wear or additional damage other than to the parts that need replacing. My educated guess is there have been very very few, if any, instances where a tune has interfered w/ getting the cam phasers covered under warranty. Personally, if I do start noticing some rattling on a cold start, I'll remove the tune keep driving that sucker another few weeks til it gets nice & loud, then make appt. w/ dealer, then keep driving waiting to bring it in, then wait around til they diagnose it & give it back, then continue driving it some more waiting on parts and THEN at that point, IF the dealer is particularly inquisitive for whatever reason & digs into the ECM log they'll just be a ton of data & ignitition cycles on stock tune & nothing to raise an eyebrow.
