lifetime warranty, not on diesels

Oct 13, 2007 3 Replies

after a few commercials talking about the lifetime warranty on all chrysler vehicles i decided that was the incentive i need to trade up. i unloaded my truck, cleaned it up, and headed to the dealer with the intention of buying a 4x4 dually with the 6 speed manual. when i got there however, i was informed that the lifetime warranty only applies to gasoline engine powered vehicles.



....to bad, i was looking forward to another new truck. nothing wrong at all with the one i have (although now that im towing heavy im wishing i had purchased a manual originally).


That is because the engine is made by Cummins and has it's own warranty separate from the basic 3yr/36k warranty. The engine is warranted for

5yr/100,000 miles. What is Fords or Chevy's warranty on diesel trucks?

...which makes it even better than anything dodge builds anyway.

insignificant since neither ford or chevy builds a real diesel truck. ;-)

True but Cummins new 6.7l has had a good share of issues. Mostly with the new emissions system. Lots of turbos replaced and I know of two complete engine failures. Their flash update in June seems to have alleviated most of the problems but some have said its only a temporary fix. I sure hope Cummins solves the problems as I own a 2007 6.7L Ram. Only have 1100 miles on it and no troubles.
