Try going to another dealer. it should be covered. it's in the drive train. if that doesn't help, get a buddy to go into the dealer and act as if buying a new truck. Make sure its a brand new w/ all the option. Then go back to the dealer where he will be at and cry to them about fixing it. when they say no again, say that you will have to go tell your buddy not to get the truck, that the service is bad and they wont cover anything. My father was able to get a new tranny while out of warrenty this way. but my grandfather (the buddy) really did buy the truck. Not saying its going to work, but always worth a shot. might at least get a lowered price. good luck. And btw, welcome to DF
