Chris,
I recently also had my 98 in for transmission work (2 day job). This work
was done under the factory 3yr/36k warranty. When I asked about a loaner
they also told me that they were only available if I had an extended
warranty/service contract. I then purchased an extended warranty as the
factory warranty would be expiring later this year. I got a loaner by the
time I brought my Dak in for the service. If you plan on keeping your Dak
for a long time getting the extended warranty is not a bad idea. When you
buy the extended warranty it starts from the day you bought your truck. If
you plan on getting one in the future it does not help to wait for your
factory warranty to expire. The price for the warranty usually increase
each year.

Subject: DML: Loaner cars
I've recently had my truck in to the dealer for some warantee work and I was
denied a free loaner because they said I dont have an extended warantee. Is
this common practice among dealerships? I'm going to be giving them my
truck next week to replace the whole transmission and I'm kinda pissed that
I wont be able to get another car to drive out of them while they are fixing
it. I'm just wondering how other dealearships work with loaner cars.
thanks,
Chris
