hey guys I decided to do all my own oil changes I was just wondering how everyone was keeping there records for warranty. I just want to make sure they are acceptable if I ever have to go in.

Not sure how FCA views things, but i keep a log of the date, mileage, work done and mileage next service is due. I would think with that and reciepts for your oil and filters that are dated, should suffice.

How likely would I be to get coverage on a drivetrain issue if I bought a used truck from a dealership (non Dodge/RAM) with 40,000 miles, but zero maintenance records?

Ask and see. You might be limited to a drivetrain warranty. I wouldn't bother with anything other than a Chrysler warranty.

Currently I don't have any issues, my question was more of a hypothetical and I should have said powertrain, not drivetrain. It was advertised as having the remainder of the 60k mile powertrain warranty, but there are no maintenance records. If the engine failed tomorrow, would they tell me i'm SOL with no maintenance history?
I am a fleet manager and have dealt with several failure on commercial vehicles and they almost always ask for maintenance history, even when the vehicles are well within warranty coverage based on age and/or mileage. I am hoping they aren't as strict on consumer vehicles.

i would ask the dealer. if the truck was maintained by a dealer, the records should be in the computer regardless of which dealer serviced the truck.

I always thought keeping records would be good to have for trade in. When I traded my 14 in on my 17 I brought all the records with me but they didn't want them. When I traded my 12 in for that 14 they asked if i had all the records, which i did not. Same dealer, same sales person.
