After market extended warranty (service agreement) on the truck?

[JCZhome]

I bought my 2014 F-350, Lariat, Longbed, Crewcab, FX-4, Dually used from a private party. Have 99,960 miles on it and I think it's time to think about an extended warranty (service agreement). I've talked with a couple of you about it but does anybody else have any first hand experience with any of these companies that you'd like to share......good or bad?

With all of the electronics, touch screen, etc. I'd kind of like to think about a bumper to bumper (I know they don't cover normal wear items) but at least the drive train.

Thanks in advance.

JCZhome: Your going to want to study in detail all of the fine print of coverages of plans offered by several companies. Decide if you are only interested in just drive train coverage, or you want it to cover your electronics too. Be aware that the cause of failure is the determining factor as to weather the warranty company denies a claim or not. Make sure you have seal and gasket coverage, period. If a small O-ring fails, and starves the turbo of fluid and it bakes its self, and you don't have s & g coverage, its your baby$! Same goes for any system that has fluids as part of its operation. A/C anyone???
Yes, I worked in that field for a few years. We WERE NOT out to deny everything. We were there to administrate the CONTRACT as written and agreed upon by the customer who purchased it. You bought a "high" mileage vehicle. Unless you have every single piece of maintenance history on it you could run into lack of maintenance claim denial issues later.j This is not health care with pre-existing coverage. Yes, they send out inspectors to verify cause of failure, damages, and maintenance history. Would I buy an extended warranty? I just purchased a '19 F-350, and before it has 12/12,000 on it Im buying the most high fallutin' Ford extended warranty I can. But there is a huge difference between manufacturer based extended warranties, and the aftermarket ones you are going to have to shop for. IMHO.

The extended warranty on our TV has paid for itself but that might be unusual. The policy had pretty extensive coverage but didn't hit everything and especially some failures that are common. It didn't cover filters (think DPF) and it didn't cover sensors. We lost a $75 sensor in Oregon and labor was $500 for the install. None of that covered. It did cover a leaking radiator and A/C condenser but an extra day was added to the dealer stay because the warranty company wanted to check the front of the truck for collision damage as the radiator and condenser failed at the same time. All of the $2300 for that was covered less deductible. About $1200 of front suspension/steering parts was covered but an $1100 EGR valve was not covered. So check the contract carefully especially for sensors because a sensor failure can stop your truck dead and can be expensive to replace and were not covered.
