I just wish they'd make products that last and are built suitable for the job and they wouldn't have to worry about warrenty and fixing out trucks for free. I know we mod them and all that junk, but the pumps go out of BONE STOCK trucks everyday. Seems like a hint to REDESIGN the stupid pumps to me, doesn't it? Both my pumps went out at 50K on my completely stock truck.
I'm straddlin' the fense on this deal. I want folks to be honest with me, so I'd be leary of trying to pass off a tapped pump to warrenty, but on the other hand, some of the stuff the dealer has tried to pull on me would make me want to get my money back out of them. My old '99 dually's front rotors warped and stated shaking the whole truck at low speeds. They replaced them under warrenty at 28K miles. My bill had a $199 brake replacement on it! I was hot hot hot and swore I'd never be back. I even called Dodge with no help from them! So....now that I talk about this, ya, I'd try it.

If you are worried about it take Dan's advice, you will build nice little savings account while waiting to hear from them.

And I can promise you that it will only get worse...Things said on the Internet stay around for just about forever if you know how to search properly.
Big corporations like Chrysler that have a lot of money to lose because of these types of warranty issues, most likely have several people on payroll, looking on the Internet everyday.
This is why I always say, you pay to play...You are your own warranty station

Just had a discussion about this very thing with a service manager at a local Acura dealership. Basically you are in the clear on this one. If you have a repair bill with a warrantied item on it and no charge, the dealer ate it if it comes back from the STAR group and being tampered with/tapped. Its now between the dealership and DC. They could try and sue you for the repair bill but chances are its not worth the time or effort when they can just jack up the next several unsuspecting customers. Count your blessings.

Well guys I hope who ever from DC did or didnt read anything before it was edited doesnt do anything about it
If they do I guess Ill tell the dealer sorry because I left with a $0 balance, your loss.
And now finally, I know to never post anything like that again, Ill just send a whole lot of PM's to people I dont know
Thanks for the input,
Jamie

Wow, made it through all of the pages of a link that doesn't exist anymore. All I can say is anyone better watch themselves posting information on the WWW. Good thing I never got caught driving Z06 vettes at my previous job.
