-- [ From: Ned Worcester * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --
As was noted in the original mesage below, most odometers seem to read off
by about 10% so that there are fewer miles actually on the truck then the
odometer shows. I was wondering if anyone has ever made an issue with CC or
the dealer about warranty coverage for things after the odometer mileage,
but before the likely actual mileage expires.
At 10%, my extended warranty is going to end 10k miles before it really
should. Of course the amount
I drive that's only 3 months (66K miles in 2.5 years), but it still is
something.
Anybody have any thoughts or comments?
