I think you better talk to someone at DC and have this checked out further. It sounds a little to good to be true.
Section 2.1 of my warranty book states that I have a 3 year 36,000 mile "BASIC LIMITED WARRANTY" that covers the entire truck except the tires for 3 years from date of purchase or until the odometer reaches 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. There are some items that are only covered for 1 year or 12,000 miles (Brakes, wiper blades, clutch, wheel alignment and balancing, & the front and rear windows).
Section 2.2 states that I have a Cummins Diesel Engine Limited Warrenty that covers for up to 5 years or 100,000 miles on the odometer, whichever comes first. Section 2.2 C states that the Cummins Diesel Engine Warranty (CDEW) starts when the truck has been in service for 36 months; or the date you've put more than 36,000 miles on the odometer.
All this warranty is saying is the first 3yrs/36,000 miles the truck is covered by the basic warranty from the point you hit 3 years until 5 years or 36,000 miles to 100,000 miles the truck is covered by the CDEW. At 5 years or 100,000 miles you are on your own not matter what.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
