Internal Lubricated parts
Cylinder Block
Cylinder Heads
Oil PUmp
Timing Chain Cover
Timing Chain
Turbocharger
Cylinder Head Gasket
Crankcase Oil Cooler DGR Cooler
Fuel Injection Pump
Fuel Injectoion Pressure Reg
Fuel Injectors
All this for $1970.
I don't have enought mechanical knowledge to know if this covers most or not.
Anybody have any thoughts??

Use this information to compare with independant companies. Check with local credit unions, they often have solid underwriters and their profit is often under $400.00 for each policy. What you are being offered is a 200K mile "powertrain" warranty. These diesels often go 200K miles and more with no major engine problems. Certainly if they did, many of the covered parts with labor would likely cost in excess of the total policy. Also look for exemption clauses, like injector damage not covered if loss caused by fuel contamination. Generally speaking, injector issues are almost always caused by foreign material in the fuel system (water). Look around, I think you can do better.
