Ram 4500 Problems by year

We purchased this vehicle as a cab and chassis and took it to a professional outfitter to have a service Knapheide box added. The box was equipped with incorporated locks. We had an issue with a check engine light and took the vehicle to the dealership since it was still with in warranty. The dealer scanned the truck and stated that there is a P1400 code showing illegal tuning and would void the warranty. Come to find out this code was due to the outfitter installing the box and flashing the computer for the locks. This should not be an issue that voids a warranty when a professional outfitter installs the box directly from the dealer.
