In-Depth Breakdown of Ram’s Powertrain Warranty Coverage

Ram’s 10-Year / 100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty protects a wide range of components essential to your truck’s performance and dependability. Unlike standard warranties with limited coverage, Ram’s extended warranty includes key powertrain systems such as the engine, transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials, and axles.

This coverage guarantees that if any of these critical components fail due to manufacturing defects within the warranty period—10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, for original owners of qualifying 2026 models—Ram will cover the cost of repairs or replacements, including parts and labor, at authorized service centers.

Covered Powertrain Components Include:
  • Engine: Cylinder block and all internal parts, cylinder head assemblies, timing chain/belt/gears, oil pump, water pump, intake/exhaust manifolds, flywheel, valve covers, oil pan, turbocharger (if applicable), seals and gaskets for listed components
  • Transmission: Transmission case, torque converter, internal parts, pressure/speed sensors, transmission control module
  • Transfer Case & Drivetrain: Transfer case (for 4x4 models), drive axles, differentials, driveshafts, universal joints, axle shafts
Important Exclusions (Not Covered):
  • Routine maintenance (oil changes, filters, belts, brake pads, tire rotations)
  • Wear-and-tear items (batteries, clutches in manual transmissions, hoses)
  • Damage from misuse, accidents, negligence, improper repairs, or aftermarket modifications
  • Fully electric powertrains (BEVs), certain fleet/special purchases, and coverage reverts to standard 5yr/60k (or 100k diesel) for subsequent owners

For truck owners in Lake Norman, Statesville, or Charlotte, maintaining your warranty requires following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and using genuine Mopar parts. All necessary repair and replacement parts are available through our Parts Department.
