Cool lift pump warranty DENIED

04 2500 93xxx miles live in Texas broke down in middle Missouri towed to dealer they could not figure out warranty in computer when replacing lift pump. they ordered it and replaced it with in-tank pump the standard replacement. i opened a claim with dodge got number and all. paid for work done and headed home, filed paper work for reimbursement and dodge says that that lift pump # is not a warranty part for an 04 2500. Wait a second i am not the one who changed the design and moved it to the tank.. try telling this to the monkee's on the other end of the phone, the ones in another country, YES i will be calling the Michigan office in the am and speaking with someone who can understand ___________,,,,,,,

and the dealer who could not figure out a warranty # did i get scammed by them >>>>????????? hummmm

Lift pump is covered for 5 years/100,000 miles under the Cummins emission warranty. Look at your build date on your door sticker. Regardless of the build date, I'd still place a follow-up call. They may do it as a "good will" gesture.

I hope it works for you, but it is pretty simple. 5 years 100,000. If your truck was put into service in 2004 before the date this took place you are more than likely out of warranty. If you are over the 5 years, it is on your dime. really has nothing to do with the part number. Like I said though, I hope they cover it for you and if it is for sure in warranty, then stay on them. Been down that road before.

I think he got the date right. Even his sig only says 2004 and not 2004.5. Although even a sell date of 11-13-04 could still easily be a 2004 I would imagine that a sell date of 11-04 he would have 2004.5 in his sig line. I guess some people may not know there is a difference though.

Hope all goes well in the morning for him.

If he wants to push it, his truck is still supposed to be covered. If you read the Warranty book, it clearly states the 5/100 warranty starts after the regular warranty expires.

They will fight you, but more than one has won.

I think you are a year out of warranty already. 5 years would mean it expired in 08.

Not quite sure how you are figuring this out. I'm just a little confused.

I think this is what the dealer will argue the most about.


Let us know how it turns out for ya. Hope you get it covered.
