That’s correct. We bought the truck from an out of town dealership. Taking it back there isn’t really an option.
Yes and put it to the music of Commander Cody and Lost Planet Airmen’s song “Down to seeds and stems again blues”Why not make a song about it
For some reason, that made me think of David Bowie...

He just called us both assholes,

Some of these words I've never herd untill today!
For he just threw the bill in the tin can,
From far across the room,
But between just me and you there was plenty we could do...
Dum de dum de dum de dum dum
Perhaps you're right about SAS. Not sure I blame him for just trying to make a buck. At least they are not selling out America to do so.
Yes.

Well appearances aside Patrick raced professionally, SAS never played pro sports, I never cared for his loud mouth analysis from yrs back, arguably he's improved but still not a fan. Big profits involved in the selling of xwarranties which is why dealerships pitch them relentlessly, and companies pay SAS, Ice T, and Danica to pitch them but a lot of poorly informed consumers get burnt , but again at least Danica was involved with autos. Some 30 yrs back john Elway had car dealerships in Denver, I stopped in a Honda shop he owned, the pricing was significantly higher than other dealerships so I asked the sales person if people do pay more for the Elway name, the guys face lit up in the biggest sh*t eating grin and said you wouldn't believe how many people pay more because of Elways name on the dealership. I did like Arnie pitching pennzoil in the old tractor on the family farm , Arnie was the real deal, but I only buy super tech oil from wally mart.
I've never once saw an advertisement and said "I'm buying that product because (insert famous name here) endorsed it. Actually it's been the opposite sometimes where I wouldn't buy a product (or bought a competitors product) because someone I disliked was endorsing it.
In your particular case, I think you made a good choice. I kept toying with the idea of an extended warranty especially hearing of the trans issue some people experienced, but opted to roll the dice. Paid off for me. Never looked at Carshield, but I did price the Ford warranty through Granger. Moot point as I don't own the 5G anymore, so here I am going through the same thoughts for the 6G.As much I think warranties are a load of crap in most cases, it did save us having to pay $7k for a transmission. That’s the ONLY reason we decided to get it. I had already been driving my ranger for a few years and the factory 65k mile warranty was already expired when I started having hard shifts with my transmission. I figured paying an extra few grand (or whatever the price was/is) for an extended warranty on her truck would save us some change if her transmission ever had issues. And it did…
I’d have to look at the paperwork again to see if it actually paid off or if it’s one of those “makes you feel good” things that we got suckered into. Either way, I’m still not happy about how this issue with the driveshaft carrier is being handled. Btw, dealership said they’d call us today with an answer whether or not the repair will be covered. Didn’t hear from them… Tried calling them on my lunch break, got hung up on. Excellent customer service!
