Default Lockers, gears, Axle seals and warranty ????

Anybody had leaking axle seals replaced by chrysler that had aftermarket gears and lockers? Im just afraid there gonna say oh your lockers and gears or the installers is at fault. Anybody have experience with this?
Im bringing my dads 2008 with 2500 miles on it in and my 2008 with 4300 miles on it in for leaking axles seals on Friday.
Thanks

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid!

Just an opinion, but I wouldn't expect them to warranty an axle after having non-factory gears and lockers put in. (I would be happy if they did, but certainly would not expect it) Just like I wouldn't expect them to warranty a transmission after running huge tires on stock gears, etc.

When you start modifying your vehicle, you need to start taking some responsibility for your actions...

if you put lockers and big tires on your lawn mower you'd never even think of asking is it going to be covered. or better yet put a blower on your drier and wonder why maytag won't fix it.

Thanks for the links by the way, but my issue is there is obviously a batch of bad seals out there or a piss poor design, look at the poll numbers on this site like 100 people have a had seal issues mostly stock and my dads has 2500 miles on it completely stock and his leak is worse than mine! I just don't see how a faulty part has anything to do with my lockers or gears I put them on over 8 month ago and just now im having a leak?
and jeep thrills if I put a blower on my drier and the water from the wet close started to leak out of the door it wouldnt have anything to do with my blower I get your point but if its a know problem?? I suppose its just a good way to get out of fixing it if anything.
