If you cancel the extended warranty, the warranty company will send you a refund check.
The refund is typically not applied to the loan balance.

In the end, only the engine and the tranny are the big, big ticket items a person would want to cover under warranty. Pretty much everything else, if it breaks or fails, you want to upgrade anyway. In many cases, I prefer to just fix/deal with issues myself instead of taking it in for a leaking top, or some other minor issue.
On the other hand, the computers and power control module are very expensive, purpose built, and probably impossible to get working again without some costly dealer programming. Also, those electronics are only warrented for 36K/36 months (at least on mine). This is the warranty stuff I'd worry about.

A lift has no affect on a transmission. Ubber large/heavy tires do. Inproper differential gearing for a given tire size can, but a lift does affect the transmission.

Had a rod bearing failure do to over revving (oops) and limped the diesel sounding JK into the dealer where I got it, completely covered in mud. They dropped a new block in AND paid for 25% of my rental car. The service tech was like, haha you beat the hell out of her huh? Then said that if I needed warranty work again, clean it beforehand:lmao2: I love my dealership!!!:clapping:
