Going from 2010 CTD to 2012 PW
Well the 10' CTD will be traded in very soon. It has been a great truck and zero issues with great fuel mileage. I ordered a 2012 Power Wagon with Rambox and all the interior goodies I want. It was either trade in the 12v or the 10' and I was not going to let go of either my 2 12v's. With the amount of off road driving I do the Power Wagon will work well for me. Especially in the wet areas I visit often. The best feature is the lifetime powertran warranty the dealer gives at no cost. If anyone is looking for a good deal on a new truck visit www.vernonforddodge.com and search around. They have the lowest prices I have seen.

Thats a lifetime powertrain warranty as long as no modifications are done. Correct?
The way I am involved in the performance market I just can't keep a stock truck. If I had a lifetime powertrain warranty I would beat the begeesus out of it.

Sure is! That's why I ordered the PW instead of getting a new CTD the way I want. Have to mod the CTD for better mileage. I can beat the crap out of the PW in the woods and on the ranch/farm. If it breaks, take it to the dealer!

Get a copy of the lifetime warranty and read the fine print. Especially about how you go about getting service and who can do it. One little thing not done right and the warranty is void.

Warranty
According to the warranty all services must be performed at the selling dealer or a repair facility of your choice which has been pre-authorized by calling the administrator. Also all service must be performed within one month or 1000 miles of regular scheduled maintenance.
I think if you live close to Vernon it's the only way to go.....

In the market for a new CTD and the "lifetime powertran warranty" perked my interest. I initially got the impression dealer offered this themselves but it is actually through one of those third party warranty services (mywarrantyforever.com). They say All parts and labor are covered 100% but I dont buy it, always leary of those type of services. Has Anyone ever dealt with http://www.mywarrantyforever.com?? There website even looks shady, 1 FAQ page and no fine print

"My warranty forever" is a money making deal for the dealer you buy from. The way it works is you MUST have all maintenance work done at the selling dealer (dealer makes lots of money) and it MUST be reported back to "my warranty forever". You can take your vehicle to another dealer for service BUT you yourself have to call the warranty place and tell them when & where you are taking it. At that point the warranty place will push you to take it to the selling dealer if the dealer you want to use is not in the system. The dealer you buy from counts on making all the money from the required service that's needed to keep the warranty. Just like any extended warranty, there is always a chance of them going out of business.

It may be a money maker for the dealer. However it is handy for me due to the Army moving me every 3-4 or so. All I have to do is get pre-approval for any dealer outside the 150 miles mark for the original dealer. This approval process does not bother me because this is not my primary means of transportation.

So everyone knows what us few are talking about:

Q: Is there a deductible that I need to pay when making a claim?
A: There is no deductible on the program. All parts and labor are covered 100%.
Q: How do I know what maintenance is required to keep my Warranty Forever contract in force?
A: It is required that you maintain the vehicle with the selling dealer or a pre-authorized facility in accordance to the Manufacturer's Recommended Maintenance Schedule. To check to see the maintenance required for each particular make and model, please click here: Edmunds Recommended Maintenance. If you have any further questions, please contact a Claims Specialist at 1-800-810-8458.
Q: How do I locate a dealer that offers a Warranty Forever Contract on a car I would like to purchase?
A: You can locate a dealer by emailing us at support@nwan.com or by calling 1-800-810-8458.
Q: What if I am traveling out of town and need to have a maintenance service performed while I am traveling?
A: Although you are required to perform every Manufacturer’s Recommended Maintenance with your selling dealer or a facility which has been preauthorized, you may call us at 1-800-810-8458 and PRE-AUTHORIZE any maintenance service to be performed while you are traveling or not at the selling dealer. If you need assistance with this you may also contact your selling dealer’s service department for details.
Q: What if I am traveling out of town and have a breakdown that would be covered under my Warranty Forever Contract?
A: Although you are required to have all repairs performed at your selling dealer, if you are over 150 miles or more away from your selling dealer, you may take your vehicle to any licensed repair facility to have your repair work completed. You may call us at 1-800-810-8458 for assistance or you may contact your selling dealer’s service department for details. Please remember - all out of state repair service must be preauthorized or the repairs performed by an outside dealer will not be accepted.
Q: If my car breaks down and the breakdown is covered by the Warranty Forever Contract given to me by my selling dealer, am I required to pay for the repair and then wait to be reimbursed?
A: No, all repairs are paid by National Warranty Administration Network (NWAN) by credit card. Please be sure that all repairs are authorized prior to the repair being completed. All unauthorized repairs will not be covered.
Q: What if I need to be towed or need a rental car while my car is being repaired?
A: Towing and rental car coverage is not provided by your Warranty Forever contract. However, if you purchased an extended service contract, your extended service contract will most likely provide that coverage for you.
Q: What is a licensed repair facility?
A: Any repair facility or dealership that employs ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) technicians. ASE technicians are certified through a national non-profit organization to ensure the technicians competency in many areas of the automotive industry. Repair establishments with at least one ASE technician are permitted to display the ASE sign. Motorists should look for facilities that display the ASE Blue Seal of Excellence® logo.
Q: Is a facility ASE certified?
A: No, not exactly. As mentioned earlier, the technicians themselves obtain these certifications. The facility itself is not certified, however, businesses with a high level of commitment to ASE (75 percent of service personnel certified) are entitled to a special "Blue Seal of Excellence" recognition from ASE. You will sometimes see this logo displayed inside the facility waiting area.
Q: How do I know if an ASE certified technician will be the one working on my vehicle?
A: One of the advantages to taking your vehicle to a licensed repair facility is that if an ASE certified technician is not the individual working on your vehicle (say, for an oil change), they are still available to assist and oversee the work being performed. This ensures that the maintenance is being performed properly, and to the manufacturer’s recommended specification.
