Dodge has awful warranty. A couple years ago pulled out to a strathmore timmys less than a month after we picked up our new diesel. Anyways there was this big brand new 4x4 dodge dually. Thing had a big welder on the back was running the big diesel(can't remember what it was) and was covered in lemons and said something along the lines of "if you are thinking about buying a dodge ask me about this truck." So we were looking at this truck and the guy comes so we asked him about it. Turn out he was going to a well site and it was a little muddy. He put it into 4wd and tried to get through it but just sank. Got hooked up to another truck and tried pulling out of the mudhole and blew the transmission. Took it into dodge with less than 20,000k on it and told then what happened. Wouldn't replace it because he was in the mud.
Who would think a 4x4 would be in the mud ever?
Anyways guy asked his company if he could sell his truck and buy a chev or ford. Company wouldn't let him so he just plastered the thing with lemon. Pretty funny stuff to see driving around
Two sides to every story. But from the information given 90% chance it was the guys own fault.
Let's see a 1 ton dually with a welder, 90% chance it is overloaded? Maybe higher? In the mud, getting pulled out, like that's hard to break something! How likely where there bigger tires, chips etc? I'd say VERY. I don't care what truck or transmission it is, in the mud if your not careful it get taken out SO easily. Modify at own risk. If you chip it and blow the transmission it's your own fault, plain and simple. I mean if you take it apart and prove it's a factory defect sure, but usually if it's not stock it's YOUR fault.
There is a CHANCE it went easily and he had a legit claim, but the problem is SO many people do stupid ch!t and try to get warranty they ruin it for legit people. Dodge is bad with warranty but it's not all there fault.
You get guys stacking two chips without gauges pulling a huge trailer and complaining when they blow their motor and figure it must be dodges fault!
But then again i've never had a issue with dodges warranty......if I broke something and it's my fault I fix it myself. If it's legit they have fixed it no questions asked.
