    I bought a truck. It came with an NTP warranty. I was in West Texas and my turbo blew. I called around to the shops in Odessa and they were all 2-3 weeks out before they could get me in.

    I called the warranty company and asked if they had any preferred shops in the area. Sure enough they did. They sent me a list of three dealers. One was Peterbilt, one was international, and one was freightliner. I have a DD15 so I went to the freightliner dealer.

    Sure enough my turbo needs to be replaced. The warranty covers up to $3700. It leaves me with a balance of $2200. The warranty does state i have a $500 deductible.

    How is that not fraudulent? I have warranty that covers a turbo. The truck is at their preferred dealer. Why am I on the hook for anything more than the $500 deductible? No extra work is being done. It’s not my preferred shop, it’s their preferred shop.

    Of course the turbo is on national backorder. I may get the truck back before Christmas. Until then I’ll drive a Penske truck.

    I chopped my info off the top. The core fee comes off that’s $650ish.

    I was aware of the limit. What’s the point of a warranty that covers xyz and I bring it to their preferred shop and I still owe 400% more then my deductible.

    That sucks that they only cover such a small amount. They aren't even covering the the part. It is a ripoff.

    I am surprised they didn't weasel out of all of it. Count your blessing they even pay anything out. Most people seem to have that problem where they deny the claim and say it was caused by something else.

    How NTP works and all of them. Yes they will pay for a part if it failed. But they don't pay for all that extra stuff gaskets seals cleaning. Also they paid a set amount of labor hours and they look up the cost of the turbo and that's what they pay. They won't pay for the turbo actuator if it's not bad either. Can't rely on them for everything it does help though.

    Also keep every receipt and make sure u are doing oil changes and getting the VIN and correct mileage on it... They can and will decline if it doesn't match up or you don't have the records
