KDP Warranty Service

My truck has just been diagnosed with a dowel pin failure. It's been leaking oil for some time now and I just got it in to the dealer. It has 167,000 km (ie warranty expires at 160,000) and is under 5 years old. The dealer was not a lot of help and said call the 1-800 number. Has anyone been in a similar situation? ie just out of warranty? Does Daimler/Chrysler Canada have a policy on this? Do they contract it out to Cummins? If they are not going to cover it, I'll get Piers to fix it. He's just up the road from me. I'd like to get some background before I call tomorrow.

The thought of some minivan guy who touches a diesel once a month fixing my truck scares the ___ out of me.

Phil
