Mods / Builds - Warranty Issue?

[Zachanadandy]

I wheel with a warranty.



Haven't had that issue with my vehicle.

We've owned 2 JLURs and a JTM over the past 6 years. All built, all wheeled, all under warranty. Fortunately not any real warranty issues but I couldn't tell you the last time I owned/ wheeled anything without a warranty.

Let’s not forget the JT370s (37s and re-gear) that AEV builds which are sold NEW on dealer lots.

 

[The Yeti]

I bought a vehicle (dealer from next town over) go to 1 of my 2 locals for my 10 free oil changes included with my extended warranty (came with fron the previous owner, tried to charge me declined the threw it in anyway) AND I went in asking about the first time I experienced Death Wobble and my dealer charged me 1/2 hr labor to diagnose suggested a camber adjusting bolt and wanted to charge me for that and a new drag link. Apparently there is an aftermarket "lift" (found a spacer kit on it from before I got it, thinking it was stock). Long story short I bought a Yeti unit and installed it myself. Haven't been back for the next free oil change yet. But I assume it's probably a smart choice to have not paid for that warranty and extras.
Your experience will vary.

I"m going to chime in on this one with my experience dealing with the dealership in AR. I bought used from a non-Jeep dealer with under 16,000 miles. Factory installed 2 inch mopar lift and factory installed 37" tires on Black Rhino wheels. Carfacts show purchase in Tulsa and dealer installed lift and wheel/tires. When I purchased I had no tire readings. Thought that the TPMS sensors were gone with the factory wheels before it hit the road with owner #1.

I went in for fuel spitting out after filling. Also found water coming around seal of back glass. They had a couple of software updates to do while it was in. When I picked it up my TPMS sensors were working. They worked for 8 miles and all of them dropped at one time. I called and explained and the service tech said he had seen it before where the module drops the signal. I took it back and they called me the next day to tell me it dropped again when they reset and drove it. They said the reason was because my tires were oversize and my wheels were not factory. I asked about the module and tech changed his tune and said it was probably not that. I asked about our conversation the day before where they have replaced one before that was doing the same thing and he said the manager won't approve changing it and they believe it is the wheels and tires.

I don't have any faith in the dealership here now. I haven't bought a new module to see if that does fix it, but I hope to at some point to see if that does fix it. I cannot fathom that everyone with 37's and larger no longer can read TPMS sensors because the tires are too large???!!!!???

It's not the size of the tires, it's an issue with the wheels, sensors, and RF module. With some wheels, there appears to be communication issues between the sensors and RF module. If they try it with factory tires and wheels, and it works, they will blame your wheels. If it doesn't work, then it is most likely the RF module. Putting Mopar TPMS sensors in the aftermarket wheels is another step to try. If they are already Mopar sensors, try some from Discount Tire.
