See if you can work something out with your insurance co.
What happens if you switch from the salamander in 5 years do you loose the two extra years???

Yeah, up here in Canada it's the same just in metric (multiply by 1.6) 8 years/160,000km......

Jesus, Ladies slow down. The diesel is covered till 100k. Since it's not standard it does not list the 100k on the motor on the window sticker. 5yr 60k is for gas engines. 5yr 100k is for diesel.

well to answer your question, i wouldn't care if it had 60k or the 100k warranty, i'd get the extended warranty if you plan on keeping it that long. i never (i mean never) buy extended warranties on anything. but, with the possible issues of the new 6.4 (still teething) or any new motor, not to mention the nightmare of the 6.0, i would say $1500 is super cheap insurance. again, only if you plan on keeping the truck more than the original warranty period. you can have a bill of 3 or 4 times the $1500 in the blink of an eye on these things.

Not quite - 1.6 x miles to convert to 160,000KM but not time, still 5 years not 8

Yeah, I know I was just trying to stir the pot. I was wondering when someone was going to catch on to that.
I kinda figured it would be another Canadian.

I second this! - Its on all the commercials, big bold print on the website, and one of the big parts of owning this truck. If they dont give it to you they have some serious explaining to do, especially how they gave you an old manual as if they were trying to keepthe truth from you. BS

Skip the Extra Warranty

My 2 cents, maybe a little late, skip the extra warranty.

My thinking is this, and maybe a lot of the regulars in here will bear this out - you are going to want to chip your truck at some point & maybe add/do some other 'goodies' to improve MPG/performance that will Void these warranties anyway.

I haven't gone w/ the chip route yet, but gas prices going the way they have - it won't take me much longer. You let diesel hit $4/gallon and I wonder how many 6.4L owners are going to care about their warranty when they can get 3-5 more MPG per tank of gas?

Good point. The way diesel prices are going, at some price, voiding the warranty starts becoming cost effective.
