Hell, I have an '04 with the 7/70 and at 3 yrs. old with just 35k miles on it, I'd probably get laughed at if I tried to claim ANYTHING on the Powertrain Warranty. I've already changed gears, added CAI, LT Headers will be in next week, and if that ain't done me in, the Cam, retainers, springs, etc. is a month away...
If all you did was a Cat-Back exhaust, you'd probably still have to fight to get a warranty fix!!!

 

They replaced my tranny at 6,000 miles with a CAI and exhaust on the truck. Sounds like dealers around other parts of the country are harder to get work out of.

 

It's only partially the dealers....

As of late, there have been numerous reports on TV and media, regarding DC and their sloppy handling of warranty work. They want to sell the entire entity, and giving away free parts and labor isn't an interest to them.

Dealers are under giudlines for warranty repairs, as they're scrutinized by the bean counters that work in the upper offices.

You can only get away with a small percentage of the "give aways" that you used to 5-10 years ago........

Most dealers will look for anything to say you voided your warranty. I'm lucky enough to have a decent dealer to have to deal with.

When I swapped out my fan clutch, my dealership actually LENT ME THE TOOLS to hold the WP pully and remove the clutch shaft.

When have you EVER seen a dealer lend out tools?

 

That is very cool of them to lend tools out. I did use AutoZones tool loan program which was a big savings to me.

I am not upset about the warranty just like I can't be upset about those of you who get a better deal on your truck than I did. I was happy with my terms and made my decision. I hope the warranty extension helps them sell a bunch more Rams.

 

I was happy with the warranty until I started to have to use it. If I knew my truck would give me this many issues I would have never bought it.

 

Well, when i mentioned the warranty issue to dodge. They replied that when they surveyed customers who purchased Dodge vehicles, the warranty wasn't something they cared about.....Let me say, that i WAS NOT one of those individuals surveyed.

 

Haha that's funny. I can definitely say I am not one of those customers either. Especially with the declining quality in their vehicles the warranty is becoming much more of a big deal for me.

 

I was and still am kinda beturbed about it...but I don't think there is anything we as owners can do.

 

I only had the 36/3 warrenty on my 06 that I have had since november. I have 49,000 as of today, so oh well. I had a problem at 35,500 that they fixed but now if something happens I will just have to pay out of pocket.

 

What happened to your ride? I think my truck will turn 3 before she gets 36,000 on her. My ram only has 13,089 on the clock right now.
