Default Warranty

Sorry if this question is posted in the wrong place, but I didn't know where else to put it. I just purchased a 2009 ram 1500 from a dealership and was told it was still covered by the original warranty. After getting the truck home, from out of state, I realized that they didn't give me any warranty information.
Two questions:
1. Should I have recieved any paperwork about the warranty from the dealership?
2. If I don't need anything, can I bring the truck to any dodge dealer to have work done if necessary?

Ps. The vehichle was also "Certified" and all they gave me was a checklist of stuff they looked at on the truck.

You don't need any paperwork for the factory 3/36 warranty. Was this a dodge certified pre-owned? Or did the dealership just say they have certified it?

Your Ram should be covered by the orginal 3yr/36K warranty. The lifetime powertrain warranty that 09 rams have is not transferable to you.

I purchased a Certified Pre Owned 2009 RAM 1500 w/ 7,800 miles about a month ago and it has the 3yr/36,000 mile bumper2bumper warranty and a 6yr/80,000 mile power train warranty. I have it on the contract and it is in the Chrysler/Dodge CPO booklet they gave me. So you should have both I would think.

Also you can bring it to any dodge dealer for warranty work or recalls. Call your dealership (even though it's a CPO) and see if there are any open RRT's or Recalls on the vehicle just give the service writer the last 8 of your VIN..

Service contracts only cover mechanical parts. Recalls are covered pretty much for the life of the vehicle no matter who owns them or how old the vehicle is

Your warranties are the same as regular warranties for new vehicles

Basic is 3/36
Glass is 12/12
etc
