All you have to do is call every Dodge Dealer nearest to you and see if they
will fix it. You don't have to get your Dodge worked on at the dealer you bought
your truck from. Keep doing this until you find a Dealer that will. Be sure to
hint that you have lifted your truck but know that it had nothing to do with it.
That way you know if the Dealer is a penny pincher or just wants to help out a
fellow Dodge owner with a Warranty!
Good Luck

Guess I shoulda read everything first before I replied to the other one :)
They're getting off on a really sketchy technicality. As written, it
sounds like it's a "service contract" and *not* a warranty. And as the
contract specifically states that *any* modification from factory spec
voids the contract...
If these guys wanted to get really nasty, they could probably void it
because you aren't using the same brand *oil* that was used at the factory.
A reasonable dealer would let this slide after applying logic to it for 5
seconds.
