[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2952752, member: 5412"] I bought a slightly used F150 4X4 from a dealer, and like some turned down the warranty untill it got cheap. Knowing how tough I am on trucks, Figured it was a pretty good deal. Was trying to pull out a disk stuck in some sand, and spun a main bearing. Paid off the warranty plus a couple of grand in my favor after a total engine rebuild by the dealership. Then the transfer case would start buzzing and vibrating the shifter handle so violently that it was just a blur by my knee. They ended up replacing the transfer case after a three try's fixing it. Rental truck each time. Traded it in on a Bronco with the VV carb system. Bought the warranty again. About 40K into it, out of factory warranty, the VV locked wide open flooding the crankcase and cylinders with raw gas. Ate up the rings and crank in short order. Same dealership had to replace the engine using the extended warranty. I've been driving Toyota's ever since, no extended warranty, and they take everything I can put them through. I'm not easy on vehicles. [/QUOTE]
