WOW! What a crock.......

I'm a newbie to this forum and I've read this post from start to finish and am shocked(NOT) at how you were treated. I hope you get total satisfaction at the final result and get some form of compensation for all the hassle. I've got a stock 08 Chev 2500HD Extended cab 6.5ft short box and am getting ready to put a S&B intake kit on it. I called my dealer to ask what else I could do without voiding the warranty and he told me anything other that an intake kit would void the warranty. I know this is false because after reading a couple other posts on this topic I googled the Magnusson whatever Act and it does a pretty good job of explaining the details. But now I'm still kind of leary about doing my next step of a tuner and eventually an exhaust. I don't need the hassle and my wife isn't a legal eagle! I want mileage not speed performance as I tow a 13-14,000# 5th wheel and get about 10.5mpg @ 65-70MPH. I only have 1500 miles on it now so when can I expect the natural increase with break-in? Any recommendations for my needs?

Have fun working your legal expenses off!
