Glad you're happy with your Ford but why should GM (or any manufacture for that matter) pay for something that was over the warrantee period? :h

(better hope you don't have a CP4 failure or you're going to be happy with Ford too.) :B

I'll tell you why.

I did not pay a $6-7,000 premium for a motor that would have a major mechanical problem 5000 miles outside of the warranty period - and not be covered. I expected some consideration. I even wrote a letter to Chevy detailing how I had been buying new Chevys for the last 20+ years. No response.

I realize mechanical parts can fail so it's what happens after that's important.

I traded my Honda Element with 185,000 miles on it when I got the new Ford. The Honda was running perfectly, just like it always had. Never a problem. No out of pocket costs except for normal wear and tear (tires, etc).

Shouldn't I expect at least the same service from a $50,000 truck (2002 cost) as a $24,000 4 cylinder commuter car ?


And if I have problems with this truck, as you allude, then it will be Dodge/Ram's turn.

Yet another reason many of us no longer "drink the Kool-aide" when it comes to diesels. Once bitten, twice shy. It only takes one bad diesel in your life to permanently mess up the shaky economics of recreational diesel ownership for your entire life.
Just sayin.
