OEM or Manufacturer Warranty = good.
After Market or NTP = bad.
I've heard guys say they had stuff fixed with the NTP. My personal experience is they didn't fix ####. You also have to get them to authorize it, before it's fixed.
Manufacturer you drop it off and go," When will it be ready?"
That NTP covers like pistons, crank, stuff that doesn't break a whole lot.
Does it cover stuff that can be hugely expensive that does break a lot ( gaskets, seals, wiring ) = no.fishonron Thanks this. -
alds Thanks this.

Also, what would an OEM warranty cost IF it was available to op with the same 2016 with 350 on it.
I'm asking because I'll be making this decision in the next month. I'll likely end up with a 17 or 18 with just under 400 on it.
Thanks! -

Save your money.
3rd party warranty companies are in the business to make money.
Read the contracts fine print before making the decision.
Most of them only cover a labor rate of around $100/hour, you pay the difference. You have to pay a deductible everytime truck is in shop $250 or so.
They dont cover any shop fees, nuts, bolts, clamps, zip ties, disposal fees, nor this or that...
Certain shops wont even deal with them.
If you're purchasing the truck from a dealership, the salesman will claim it's the best thing since sliced bread, but he wont tell you that he receives a commission from selling it to you...
I made the mistake once, wont happen again. -
Aftermarket warranty?
NO!
