your warranty is only 3yrs/36000 on the powertrain. The 100K warranty is only for the Cummins engine itself.

Default Warranty

Cummins 6.7 liter, ENGINE 5 Years / 100,000 miles.

Rest of the truck...including TRANSMISSION 3 Years / 36,000 miles.

Extended warranty available for extra $$$$ . Extending rest of truck to Cummins 5yr 100k is not rediculous...about 1500.00.

Extending cummins warranty with truck to 7 years 100K or 150 K....is like 4,500.00

I typically extend the warranty out for the loan period...after that, you have no more payments and can afford a repair or two...

Emissions part to 5 Years / 120, 000 Miles some parts to 3 Years 70,000 miles.

Read the fine print in the owners manual warranty booklet, there is a bar graph that shows the emissions warranty.
