Buying an extended warranty will always pays off for the heavy foot, rough
rider Dakota driver. DC is the one who suffers on the repair bill. Like
usual, when my extended warranty is about to expire, I will sell the
vehicle. It is a piece of mind for the street racer.

I extended my warranty to 75K miles/5 years. Damn glad I did too! I had a
front drive shaft that was squeaking terribly and they replaced in 20 min
for only the $50 deductable. Would've cost me $506 w/out the warranty.
Also found a leaking fuel injector, technician said he would have to replace
ALL of the injectors if one was bad along with the rails. That's got to run
over a grand...but only $50 if you have the warranty. I'd recommend it if
you have the cash.
