Warranty voided/not voided?

[Deleted member 67086]

I have a 2022 Gladiator with roughly 29k miles. I have a 2.5" AEV lift with 35" tires and have regeared to 4.56 to accommodate the tires. These are the only modifications, the rest of the vehicle is stock.

I have noticed this winter what sounds like a slight lifter tick the first few minutes of driving until the oil temp warm up (95+ degrees). Once it gets warmed up I am not able to hear it. If this does turn out to be the dreaded 3.6 Pentastar "tick", do any of you have any experience with dealerships warrantying things like this? Some people have said these types of mods (lifts, tires, gears) will void the entire powertrain warranty, regardless of if the engine is stock. If that is the case so be it, I am just curious if anyone on here has actual experience with that being the case.

Thanks in advance!

It all depends on the dealer you take it to. They can deny claims, based on what you have done to the truck, but cannot just void the warranty.

Most don't care about lifts and tires. They don't know about regearing unless you tell them.

Until you get a Service Light, or a constant noise you can point out, they won't do anything.

tick or timing chain noise? Both my gladys make valvetrain noise and have since new until they warm up. I just keep it under 3k rpm till it quiets up.

Thanks! I’ve had the vehicle for coming up on three years now and don’t recall hearing this before, so seems like a new development. I will continue to monitor for any changes.

The Pentastar tick is constant.
