I was boasting last night about the Cummins and its 100,000 mile warranty and wondered if anyone had ever been out of their 7/70 from Dodge and made a claim against the Cummins warranty? Was it a hassle, where did you have to go?

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, I think the 100,000 mile warranty on engine is through dodge not cummins. I beleive dodge buys from cummins without warrenty to save money then they (dodge) provide warranty work. hope that helps

I had a problem with my old 94. It blew a bolt or something out of the side of the pump with 97k on it. I towed to Dodge. They contacted a rep and they had it towed to Cummins N.E. I don't know who paid. But the only thing I paid for was the orginal tow. I thought they would want 100 deductable. But Cummins said just take it. The tow cost me 65. Funny thing 2 weeks later I got the recall notice about the linkage coming apart and could cause a problem with the pump.

You 7/70 guys were lucky. Now its just plane 'ol 3/36. You do still get the Cummins warranty.

There is no "Cummins" warranty. Dodge purchases the engines from Cummins without a warranty and then extends the warranty on the Cummins engine out of its own warranty reserves. This is a simple matter of risk management - Dodge chose not to pay Cummins for the risk associated with in-warranty failures and pocketed the savings.

If Dodge so elected, they could refer a vehicle to Cummins for repairs, but Dodge paid Cummins for the parts used and the work done. The owner of the vehicle, however, cannot drive into a Cummins shop and claim warranty status.

So on a 2006, do we have 3/36K or 7/70k?
What is covered on the latter warranty??

And for those of you 2005 or earlier with the 7 yr 70K driveline warrnty you also have the engine 7yr 100k warranty seperate from teh 7/70. Remember there are 2 stages to the engine warranty. First 5 year, under 100k miles there is no deductable, Second is over 5 years to 7 years under 100 K then there is a $100 deductable. The engine warranty covers many things that the dealers are trying to get your $100 for under the 7/70 which does have a $100 deductable, Injectors, pumps including the transfer pump, CP3 and many other things are under the engine warranty, Check your warranty book and argue if in doubt. Your book has a specific list of things covered.

I'll be using it today to get a knock and rough idle checked on. I'll let you know how it goes.

06 has 3/36 warranty.Your salesmen didn't tell you that at the time of purchase.

pet05

It shows that there is a Cummins engine warranty for 5 years/70K in my warranty manual.

I don't know where you guys are getting this thing about the 06 only having 3/36 warranty.

My 06 DOES have the 5/100K warranty. I'm looking at the paperwork as I type.

Is it possible that only certain 06 configurations kept the extended warranty?

Mine is 3/36 bumper to bumper. 5/100 on the Cummins.
