I had a lift pump replaced on my '01 CTD at 70K, which Dodge knew was an ongoing
problem for thousands of CTD for years. They eventually relocated the pump to the frame vs the engine block. It was covered, $750.00. But, they denied warranty coverage on my overteating problem. Said the radiator wasn't covered. I searched the forums and found that "lint" would build up on the back-lower side of the radiator and cause the overheating. So, that cost me an hour to remedy. That was the only time I ever purchased a dealer warranty, or any other kind. Their restrictions are written so badly, you never know what is covered and what isn't, unless you consult a lawyer.....who wouldn't know the difference between a solenoid and a fuse anyway.
