Any have a good aftermarket warranty ?

I appreciate the advice that’s probably what I will do.

 

I'd love to have a new truck but availability and price up here makes it impossible for me. I'm not working to support a new truck.
That said I'd like a newer more comfortable truck but may just keep my Columbia or look for an older nicer truck to rebuild. I'd like my last truck to be a hood, I've missed my classic terribly, last 3 trucks were short nose. If I had it all to do again I'd still have it and just kept rebuilding it.

 

Yep probably better we keep our older pre emissions trucks for now.

 

I don't get how people are "these are great engines except the $30k overhaul it's going to need at 600,000 miles" in this thread. That makes them BAD engines people!

 

I didnt want to say that, but ya. And 30k wont do it. The X15 I saw was going to be 50k. Kit, head, turbo, injectors, labor.
Nope. Not me.

 

Man, they were only like 380 to 420k miles but was the ~2014 ISX with the carbon packing and cam shaft problems.

I’ve had 10 X15 efficiencies and they’ve been rock solid. Highest one I got to mileage wise was 435k and it’s been perfect. I do 25k oil and filter changes though which keeps them clean inside.

I still have that 435k one and put it into backup status for now. It was running coast to coast previous though.

As far as rebuild costs, I have no idea these days… everything has gone up so much in the last 5 to 7 yrs. As for an x15 with 600k miles and God knows it’s history? I would not do it but that goes for any engine.

 

FWIW, it is well known that warranty doesn't pay out to shops to the extent a cash paying customer would. And because of this if you have warranty repair your likely going to be waiting at the shop longer than if you was paying out of pocket.

I've had this issue before despite my low deductible for the extended warranty the down time would've been cheaper to take it to shop and pay cash when you compare the time in shop and the cost of the extended warranty.

Hope this helps someone avoid the mistake I made with extended warranty purchase.

 

You must have terrible luck. Sorry to hear that wow
