Q: tbone wrote more like they dont want to deal with the high rate of return knowing that these vehicles deal with much more abuse than the others and are far more likely to break down. i tend to think the higher sales of the diesel trucks is why no increased incentive is needed. they sell quite well already. no need for large incentives. .

in responce to mike simmons s post. i thought everyone should know in a webcast announcement today tom lasorda announced that effective today all new 06 07 and 08 new chrysler vehicles sold at retail will be covered by a lifetime full powertrain warranty. diesels and srts are excluded. more details as they become available.... mike uh lots of arguments as to why they are doing this incentive. witch for the end consumer will be a good deal. but what about the line mechanic you realize that they will probably cut labor rates again on covered items like the engine/driveline man isnt already getting screwed under warranty rates as is hmmm wonder if im the only one that thought of that *tink* ya know what that is right mike -- chris .

my wife 2000 ram 4x4 with a 360. it will not start in wet weather. she has changed the cam sensor cap and rotor the crank position sensor was changed a year ago. ive suggested she try plugs and wires but she claims that they are good. dont ask how she knows any suggestions. she had a scan tool on it and said that told her to change the cam sensor but she doesnt know the specific codes anymore. .

tbone wrote its not what i seem to believe miles it is what it is. the fact that they stated fleet and commercial vehicles being excluded regardless of which ones says it all regardless of your ignorance. except your logic is flawed. if it was just high repairs then there would be rebates. they have neither the rebates nor the warranty on the vehicles in question. fleet sales are already discounted and need no further. the sad thing is that rebates have nothing to do with warranties so the only logic failing here is yours. u both are used to increase sales. its not just a coincidence that the vehicles excluded from the warranty are also the exact same vehicles that lack rebates. once again you talk out of your ass. why would any vehicle that could get an increase in sales be excluded with the exception of limited production vehicles. what are you talking about tbone with your absurd logic manufactures should increase rebates and warranties on all vehicles in order to increase sales. youre not a businessman are you the only reason is the cost and these vehicles are excluded for no other reason than the cost to cover them would exceed the increased revenue from

tbone wrote the dealers here dont stock them because they dont sell are kinda ugly and somewhat expensive. if they were having trouble selling then they would offer rebates and/or warranties. they offer neither. your logic may apply to warranties but not rebates. therefore your logic is flawed as the sprinter has not had much in the way of rebates. they sell plenty as is. tell me tbone why is there no rebate for the srt8 sprinter or cab chassis diesel which are all excluded from this warranty program. no rebates because of high repair costs how exactly does cost of repair apply to what gets a rebate oh thats right it doesnt so what exactly is your point exactly tbone. you seem to believe that the lack of warranties on certain vehicles is because those vehicles are higher repairs and dodge doesnt want to pay the repair costs. your logic fails because those exact same vehicles are also excluded from rebates. both of which are tools manufactures use to increase sales and are excluded on vehicles that are already selling well. while you are correct that this new warranty is set up to boost sales you are incorrect and foolish to think that the vehicles excluded from this warranty are excluded because they are selling enough of them already. that is just too funny. your logic fails because those same vehicles also lack rebates where as all the ones with the warranty also have good rebates. if their sales were poor then they would have rebates comparable to other vehicles. they dont. coincidence that the vehicles with little to no rebates are the ones that are excluded .

what are the restrictions on this warranty iow does all of the service and maintenance need to be done at the dealer or can the owners still do most of it themselves the maintenance must be done in accordance with the factory recommendations but there is no stipulation as to who must do it. if you do it yourself or have it done at a private shop just keep records. mike -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving in a webcast announcement today tom lasorda announced that effective today all new 06 07 and 08 new chrysler vehicles sold at retail will be covered by a lifetime full powertrain warranty. diesels and srts are excluded. more details as they become available.... mike pretty straightforward really..... covers the original purchaser who takes delivery on or after 7/26... not transferable even to another family member or business excluded vehicles are diesels srts cab&chassis vehicles rental government postal police ambulance taxi limo and tight-assed beekeeps residing in the state of maryland. covers engine block and all internal parts cylinder heads timing case timing chain timing belt gears and sprockets vibration damper oil pump water pump and housing intake and exhaust manifolds flywheel and starter ring gear freeze plugs valve covers oil pan turbocharger and internal parts turbo wastgate actuator supercharger serpentine belt tensioner and seals and gaskets for above components. transmission case and all internal parts torque converter flex plate range switch tcm bell housing oil pan and seals and gaskets for above. fwd transaxle case axle shaft assemblies cv joints and boots diff cover oil pan speed sensors shift solenoid prndl switch tcm torque converter and seals and gaskets for above awd ptu and all internal parts viscous coupler axle housing and all internal parts cv joints and boots output bearing vacuum motor torque tube seals and gaskets for above rwd axle housing and all internal parts axle shafts shaft bearings drive shaft center bearing u-joints and yokes seals and gaskets for above 4wd transfer case and internal parts tccm and shift motirs axle shafts bearings drive shafts center bearing u-joints and yokes seals and gaskets in the interest of brevity i have omitted some of the minor components all in all a pretty good deal... btw no time limit has been specified for this program mike .

tbone wrote you are kidding right!!! i have yet to see a single sprinter on the road around here why would they not want to sell more of them depends on your area. around here sprinters are everywhere. heavily used for cargo couriers and resort shuttles. dealers cant keep them in stock and have backlogs of orders. which is again my point. as you said they are primarly used for commercial purposes and as such will get much more wear and tear and mileage per year than a typical private use vehicle. the dealers here dont stock them because they dont sell are kinda ugly and somewhat expensive. they also tend to be abused and also cost $$$$$ to repair. then they excluded just about every type of fleet vehicle which also points to cost of repair and dont even try and say that they dont want to increase fleet sales as that makes the factory big $$$$$. tell me tbone why is there no rebate for the srt8 sprinter or cab chassis diesel which are all excluded from this warranty program. no rebates because of high repair costs how exactly does cost of repair apply to what gets a rebate oh thats right it doesnt so what exactly is your point i can bet that fleet purchases get a discount and they are no

if it were only the diesels i would agree with you but when you look at the complete list of ineligible vehicles it says something very different. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving tbone wrote more like they dont want to deal with the high rate of return knowing that these vehicles deal with much more abuse than the others and are far more likely to break down. i tend to think the higher sales of the diesel trucks is why no increased incentive is needed. they sell quite well already. no need for large incentives. .
