ONLY if the warranty is from Chrysler Warranty Direct/factory. Third party warranties are generally a complete waste of money. My idea was get the 7 year unlimited mileage warranty for $2910 [which I did] so that my truck is covered until it's paid off. With an engine running around $8-12k and a...
