Ram Extended Warranty: Protecting Your Truck Investment

Common Ram Truck Repair Costs

Ram 1500 and heavy-duty models share some failure patterns with the Stellantis platform, and diesel Cummins owners face unique repair costs. Understanding these costs helps owners evaluate extended warranty value.

• 8HP75 automatic transmission rebuild (1500): $3,500 to $5,500
• Cummins 6.7L diesel high-pressure fuel pump: $2,500 to $4,500
• Cummins DEF system (SCR catalyst, NOx sensors): $1,500 to $4,000
• Transfer case replacement (4WD models): $1,800 to $3,500
• Air suspension compressor (1500 with air ride): $800 to $1,600
• Rear differential rebuild: $1,200 to $2,500

Ram 1500 eTorque and Hybrid System Coverage

The mild hybrid eTorque system on Ram 1500 adds a belt-integrated starter-generator (BISG) that provides engine stop-start and supplemental torque. Extended warranty plans should cover the BISG unit, its controller, and the 48V battery. Not all plans explicitly list mild hybrid components, so confirm coverage before purchasing.

• BISG (belt-integrated starter-generator) replacement: $1,500 to $3,000
• 48V lithium battery replacement: $2,000 to $4,000
• eTorque controller module: $800 to $1,800
• Air suspension air bags and height sensors (TRX/Rebel): $500 to $1,200 per corner

Ram 2500 and 3500 Cummins Diesel Warranty

Cummins-powered heavy-duty Ram trucks are prized for longevity but face high repair costs when fuel system or emission system components fail. Diesel-specific extended warranty plans often provide higher coverage limits and account for the elevated cost of diesel injection components.

• Cummins fuel injector replacement (set of 6): $3,000 to $6,000
• EGR cooler and valve service: $1,200 to $2,500
• DEF pump and module: $800 to $1,800
• Fifth-wheel prep package wiring harness: typically excluded as an accessory
