Default Mods voiding a factory warranty

Hi all, I may have found a truck to buy, but, with all my searches and reading I haven't found a clear answer to whether or not any of the following mods will void the factory warranty. The guy selling it bought an extended transferable warranty to 200,000 miles. Will any of the below void the warranty?

EGR Delete
AirDog II fuel system
Stage 2 185cc injectors
Water/Meth injection
5" MBRP exhaust

Also, with an SCT X3 and custom tunes, can it be put back to stock for warranty work?

Thanks guys, this site is the best for someone looking for diesel information.

First off, welcome to Diesel Bombers! Secondly, does the truck have an extended warranty? The EGR can cause your warranty to be voided but you can put it back on in 20 minutes or so since its not held on by much, a couple bolts and some clips i think. The rest of your stuff will be fine. As for the chip, you can remove it or turn it off for warranty work but I would just take it off. They may be able to tell you had a chip from the computer so be careful about that. Im not familiar with SCT so Im not sure if it leaves a foot print or not. Sounds like a nice setup but you will probably need a turbo for the bigger injectors.

It does have an extended warranty. The truck has 98,000+ now with a 200,000 mile warranty. I guess the injectors and upgraded turbo would have to wait until the warranty was up, or I get one without a warranty.

All would void any warranty on the market period...

If your not ready to pay to play, then leave it stock.

Thanks for the info CSIPSD, though I might still buy it and see if down the road a little bit I can get the head gasket to blow, then get studs under warranty, then PLAY and not worry about the rest!!!!
