New? Volant intake?

[Sitdown]

Ah i thought you sent yours back, just pawn it off on Jordan or Jeff

 

[Huck]

I did send it back. I couldn't do that to Jeff and Jordan has an afe. I should of sold it on here. The cost to ship it back and restock fee was insane

 

[Sitdown]

I kid I kid... That's ridiculous you were charged a restock fee. Yes, the person i spoke with was pretty lifeless. Really don't know how you can operate like this these days and still be successful.

 

[Huck]

Yeah my response from the "engineer" mid chew of whatever it was, was "ours fits"

damn just watched the vid, didn't realize the coolant reservior was swapped too. Too much of a PITA to swap that in and out every 5k miles for my free dealer oil changes. Guess I'll wait a couple years and get it after my warranty is up lol.

Save the comments, too many badazz V8 Ford's at this house already with voided warranties, don't need to add another LOL. It's my DD and the only one left with a warranty lol

Question.
How often does one normally have to change this out? Am I reading this wrong? All you need to change out or service is the filters correct? You don't have to change the whole thing do you?

Just the filter needs to be changed, depends on the filter, but between 50,000 - 100,000 miles. He is referring to removing the entire CAI and putting the stock one back in, as well as his coolant reservoir since that needs to be changed on the Volant, every time he goes into the dealer for service to avoid possible warranty issues. If you don't care, or if your warranty is already up then that is irrelevant.

Ok thanks.

Does it void the warranty? I don't have a Raptor yet, but I will in the very near future and this defiantly one of the first mods that I'll be doing.

Thanks

There's no definitive answer. Depends on the dealer, and the circumstances. Does the CAI void the warranty? No. Can the dealer try to blame things that go wrong on the CAI, or any other aftermarket part for that matter, YES. Even if it clearly has nothing to do with it. I am staying away from a CAI, I just went with a K&N drop in air filter with the stock tubing and box. I don't want to run into any issues down the road and go through the trouble of aftermarket parts taking the blame.

Really wouldn't worry about minor svc. Even if the oil change tech notices the different reservoir on a truck he rarely see's, it's very unlikely he will care.

Now if your setup is zip tied and ghetto rigged in bc volant refuses to acknowledge a problem, you may open yourself to more scrutiny. Even so i'm not worried at my dealer.
