Your warranty covers claims for failures of factory parts that are not caused by abuse, racing, or from the installation of aftermarket parts. Makes sense right?

If you read your warranty booklet in your glove box, it specifically states that by themselves, aftermarket parts do not void the warranty.

However, failure of factory parts caused by aftermarket parts are not covered. Makes sense right?

If a vehicle appears to have been abused, raced, or has modifications, Chrylser requires that the dealer document repairs and has a system of reporting to make sure that the dealers do not fraudulently receive reimbursement for warranty work that should not have been covered.

When dealers perform warranty service, they apply for reimbursement from Chrysler.

Because Chrysler doesn't want to pay for warranty service that is incorrect or fraudulent, they require that warranty service on modified jeeps be documented--including pictures. This adds time and complexity for the dealer when working on a modified jeep.

If a dealer gets stiffed from Chrysler for reimbursement, they are less likely to agree to do warranty work on modified jeeps.

If you have an adversarial relationship with the dealer--specifically your service writer and service manager--they might just tell you to go pound sand because they don't want to go out of their way, take the extra time for documentation, and risk being stiffed for the work from Chrysler.

If you have a good relationship with your service writer and service manager, and you don't abuse your jeep, they are more likely to go out of their way to perform warranty service on your modified jeep. However, they still won't commit fraud and repair factory parts that failed because of the aftermarket parts.

If you install a minimal lift (i.e. 2.5" or less) and run 35" or smaller tires, you are more likely to have drivetrain failures covered than if you install a 6" lift and run 40s. Makes sense right?

If I had to do it all over I never would of bought the rubi. Hell all that's left is the 4 to 1 transfer case.
