Default Pollard Jeep - 5 year lifetime powertrain warranty inspection...

Anyone had their 5-year lifetime powertrain warranty inspection done at Pollard Jeep in Boulder, CO? Mine is due and I plan on taking it in to them. I have some ...uhh.... modifications and wonder if it is even worth my time. I don't expect Chrysler to warranty parts that aren't theirs, but I do expect them to warranty things that aren't an obvious direct result of any modifications.

Just wondering what to expect from this particular dealer's service department if I arrive in a mildly lifted Jeep on 35's. There may or may not be a RIPP S/C involved, too...

Any experiences that you can relate are appreciated,
Chris

I have the lifetime powertrain warranty. Jeep is bone stock. Had the 5 year inspection done took about 30mins. Service advisor said they are mostly just checking for leaking gaskets or seals that could easily be replaced to avoid more costly repairs later.

I have had a front axle seal replaced under the powertrain warranty. It was no questions asked.

I made sure to get a copy of the service record so they couldn't later claim I didn't comply with the inspection. Maybe some in your area can add more info.

Just to wrap-up this for anyone who might search in the future...
I took the Jeep to Prestige Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep in Longmont, CO. They gave it a clean bill of health and said that "there was nothing that we can even try to sell you". Have the inspection sheet marked with a "Pass" on everything. Jeep has ~3" lift and 35" tires.

So, no hint of flack for modifications from Prestige.

I am about 1500 miles away from 100K and 2 months from 5 years. I hope Power Jeep in Valencia does not give me any trouble.... So far, I have had no major issues mechanically with my Jeep.
