Default Re: Do I Buy The Extended Warranty With 33k On It?

It's a gamble. I bought my 05 within one month when the redesigned trucks came out and didn't get an extended warranty. Almost 4 years later and 60K+ miles, haven't needed it once. So far, my gamble has paid off. However, if I had been one of those whose A/C compressors seized, then I'd regret my decision. Just something to think about.

Also, consider what people report as far as problems on the forums. Discount things like breaks because they're not covered anyway. Discount most of the TSBs because if you haven't experienced the problems so far, then you're not likely to experience them at all. What does that leave you with? So far the only expensive problems I've heard about is the A/C compressor. That's about it. So, do you want to purchase an extended warranty just for that at $1,500-2,000? And if you purchased the extended warranty, would that really even be covered (you know they like to exclude almost everything). Don't forget too that your powertrain warranty continues on for some time, so we're not talking engine or transmission here.
