Warranty Answers

I haven't seen it yet either... But what do I know, I'm just a tech. Warranty is up to my Service Writer.

 

Belials, I am new here but not to trucking, i have never had a warranty and just now replacing an older model pete with a newer one. The truck I'm looking at is a 2013 pete 388 Vin#DD189456, Is it worth the cost of a third party warrant and if so , what is the best one out there? The truck is at a dealership but not a pete dealer, He does not offer warranties but says it does meet the criteria What to do

 

A 3rd party warranty isn't worth much....Your biggest problem will be the emissions system.

Is it a mx or isx ?

 

Isx 485 with 270k, i have previous owners maint records and there well documented but nothing with drivetrain issues

 

I would suggest contacting Cummins to see if an extended warranty is still available.

Myself, I would not go anywhere near a third party warranty.

 

Thanks for the reply, It sounds like I should just keep my maint acct growing if something does arise i can just take care of it myself, the truck in question has 271000 on it. Not used to the vehicles with all the emissions, Just sold my last truck which had a series 60 and 1.9 million miles on it ,But living in ca, hard to get around a newer one. From what I've read online the third party warranty isn't worth the paper its written on in most cases

 

Belials i hope you are still around on this forum. Your insight helps alot. I am going through an electrical issue that as of now has cost me nearly 5000$ to find and replace a component in the dash. I have an extended warranty on my 2015 579. I am currently waiting for a part to be flown in and installed tomorrow. It seems ludicrous to me to have a 5-6 thousand dollar repair on a truck that isnt even 2 years old. Is there any way to get some relief from paccar or peterbilt? Thanks
