Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Is the APPS covered by warranty?

[Duluth Diesel]

My '02 is still under its engine warranty. I am getting codes 0121 and 0122, APPS is dying. Can anyone confirm if the APPS is covered under the Dodge/Cummins engine warranty?



Thanks!

one of the few things DC actually did honor the warranty on for my truck

Alright. She's in getting fixed. APPS is backordered, but it is covered. Good deal. Thanks!

Can anyone point me to a printable statment of the warrentys. I was just at my dealer and the tech said the engine was covered for 100 but not the sensors and he would be HAPPY to change the sensor for 500+ for the part and . 5 + labor. How do they sleep at night?

Guy said the 3/36 was the only actual warranty and the 7/70 has a $100 deductable hell he mighta been drunk.

Mine was changed under warranty back in Jan. with the ITP.

The answers I got when I was driving an '01 was the APPS was not covered under the engine warranty, only under the basic vehicle warranty until it expired. I was troubled by that reply the first time I heard it and got out the owner's manual. I don't remember the specifics now but had to accept the fact that it was not once I read the warranty details. Generally speaking, after the basic Dodge platform warranty expires the Cummins engine block and internals plus the turbo are covered under the 100k/5year warranty. Sensors and Dodge parts that make the engine compatible with the platform are not.



I never could figure out why but after I began delivering travel trailers I averaged about 45,000 miles lifespan on each APPS. I could talk dealers into selling them for about $435 and could install them myself in less than 1/2 hour.



I had one fail on I-5 north of Seattle early this year and had to limp it along about 20 miles in the outside lane or on the shoulder of I-5 southbound at idle in third or fourth gear until I got to a designated meeting place. I called a local Seattle area dealer on my cell phone and bought an APPS with my credit card and they delivered it to me in the parts truck. I stopped at the agreed location, removed the bad one, the parts delivery truck brought me the new one, and I was back on the road ten minutes later.



It is frustrating to pay that much money for them but they are very simple and easy to replace. A very weak point on the pre-HPCR 24 valve engine.

I would go that route but I met a friend of a friend that works at my local frieghtliner and he is the "cummins tech" and gets me parts at cost so if no warrenty then I pay 277 and change.
