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! 👍
I think you need to find out which third party warranty you have and try to contact them directly about your situation.

Talked to the service advisor finally. He said he forgot to call me on Tuesday like he was supposed to “my bad”… He started throwing out numbers and parts and said what it should cost to repair.

I asked if it’s going to be covered under warranty? He said he still doesn’t know, but the driveshaft carrier assembly is back ordered anyway. They don’t know when it’ll be in stock.

Then he started talking about possibly replacing the entire driveshaft assembly or differential, mentioned the ujoints… Dude was basically rambling and had zero answers to anything.

I told him whatever they decide to do is their business, cost is irrelevant to me because (assuming this is covered) I’m not paying for it. He said he’ll call me when he finds out about the warranty or status of the back ordered parts.

He just called us both assholes,
And he's cussing in a most peculiar way,
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 🎶 !
Just need to work "No Problem Found" in there multiple times and then host it on Spotify 🤪
