Ram announces 10-year, 100K-mile powertrain warranty on new vehicles

The powertrain warranty, which will apply to the original owner of 2026 and later model years of Ram vehicles, is not bumper-to-bumper. It covers the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles of the vehicle.

This almost makes me want to trade in my 2021 Ram that has had zero problems! This warranty plus bringing back the HEMI will probably be of interest to my fellow OB baws.

If it covers 1 tons, I'll be getting one. That's solid.

At a private media event on June 3, Kuniskis originally stated that the brand planned to offer the warranty only for its light-duty pickups. Since the preview event, Ram has decided to go all in on offering the warranty for all of its vehicles, except for those sold in fleets.
From that article. I'd assume all Ram's not sold as fleet will receive the warranty.

The diesels already have a 100k mile powertrain warranty but it's only for 4 years IIRC. The gassers far less.
They need to nut up and extend the coverage to the exhaust system as well for the diesel. It pisses me off that we have to have that stuff but the warranty coverage on it is shite.

Be great if this pushes other manus to follow suite.
Hopefully warranty service doesn't mean sitting at a dealership for 6months waiting on a backordered part though .

Curious if they've resolved the grid heater bolt breaking off in the engine on 5th gens. The only way to eliminate that problem is a $1000 aftermarket intake from Banks, that doesn't seemingly offer much additional performance if your truck is otherwise stock.

They got rid of the grid heater and use glow plugs now.
They also went back to the CP4 fuel pump.....
My next one will be a gas burner.

Does that mean it covers the manifold and ejectors because that’s what went wrong with my ram, my customers ram and my boss’s. You can also throw in the heater core. All of that by 130,000 miles.

Well damn, I may have to get a turboV6 now.

Hard to beat the 3/4 ton diesel MPG for long highway trips...
But Ford's big gasses looks pretty reliable.

Theyre all pretty good right now. I'd buy any of them.

I welded a bung into my intake horn and installed the coil heater that Chevrolet uses. This allowed me to delete my grid heater

I highly doubt this included 3/4 and 1 ton trucks.
I watched a video a while back mentioning the federal govt may require truck manufacturers to warranty emissions systems for 250,000 miles.

Well if you want to curb deleting, this is how you would accomplish that. Would be a massive cost increase to the end customer though.

That was the point of the video. I think it was Stellantis CEO basically saying they project on average having to replace the emissions systems twice over a period of 250,000 miles. So they ultimately would put that cost in the price of the truck.

Every truck.
There just needs to be a slight retooling of the regulations and the hardware and it'd be a million times better than it is now. It'd be super simple to do. You'll still have the diesel smoke bros who are going to want to delete everything no matter what but the stuff is reliable now. It just needs to be less nanny when it comes to faults, repairs, etc.

That's got to be inaccurate.

It’s not a V6!
Posted on 6/18/25 at 12:34 pm to NewIberiaHaircut
Ahh, straight 6. Still a small 6 cylinder motor with turbos that will be used to pull and haul. Doesn't scream reliability imo.
Posted on 6/18/25 at 12:51 pm to GREENHEAD22
Longevity TBD, but on paper the concept itself is very good. If it turns out to be a turd it won't be because of the overall architecture of the engine, it'll be because they filled it with crap parts or assembly practices.
Smaller displacement and turbochargers on light duty engines is how they should all be made IMO. Better fuel mileage the 95+% of its life that it isn't towing or hauling anything, and enough juice to do the 5% towing and hauling.
It's a very sensible way to both make the needed torque and hit the fuel economy numbers. The only reason every engine hasn't been made that way forever is that it costs more than a naturally aspirated engine. In the case of a gasoline turbocharged engine, dramatically more than NA.
