Got this information directly form the dealer...GMPP is one of the easiest warranties to use at the dealership... The dealership has a $400.00 markup on the cost of the ext warranty.
A 4yr 100,000 Major Gaurd (everything except trim) zero deductable is $2,240.00 on a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4wd. Dealer cost on this is $1,840.00. This is again 4 years from the date of purchase. I got mine for $100 over dealer cost.
I asked about the 7yr, 100,000 zero deductable warranty and it runs basically $5,000.00.
The dealer will also set up direct withdrawl on your checking account to make payments over a period up to 18 months.

I have the 6/100 no deductible Major Guard courtesy of GM. After reading what's covered and what isn't....you begin to wonder. Weatherstripping? Forget it. Cross members? Forget that too. In fact, I strongly recommend you read exactly what's covered by Major Guard. You may be in for a big surprise.gator36
Assuming you're a low mileage driver, what you've just stated above is that you paid $1,940.00 for an additional year of "piece of mind". How does that work for you?

Based on mileage it works perfect.Last truck I had I made sure the warranty paid in spades...
You are the exception by getting the major gaurd for free..
Just remember an AC control head is over $600.00
Almost one issue with the trans will pay for the whole thing.
A atarter? How much is one of those?
How about having to replace a component in the front drivetrain?

Here's the quote that I got for several different versions based on the info I gave them, what I like the most is the contract goes into effect the day they get your payment it's not an add to the OEM bumper to bumper, so say I have 35k on truck and purchase the 7/100, I get 7 years or 100k from that date (or 135k by time contract expires on the odometer)......This may be the version I go for since long range plan is to keep truck for 10 years. With this piston slap issue it may very well come in handy cuz GM ain't gonna do anything for us! Now the cats butt would be to get GM to pay for this policy since they won't honor any warranty they issued to date ! Hmmmm wonder how I could make this happen, letter to N.Y. State Attorney General about consumer fraud for failure to honor 3yr/36k for piston slap issue.!
2000 CHEVROLET 2500
8 cylinders

Plan: New Diamond
Years/Miles Amount
5 - 100 $1180

These prices are paid in full with a $50 deductible. This price will be
valid through the end of the month.
Here's the link to the company, they supposedly offer the best aftermarket policy out there. http://www.warrantygold.com

Just purchased Warranty Gold's 5yr/150k zero deductable Diamond plan for $1500. This plan is, for the most part, the same as the mfg warranty. It excludes normal wear/tear items such as batteries, tires, shocks, etc. There are only 27 exluded items in my contract. The price varies based on where you live. I live in the Austin TX area where rates are pretty high.Also, Warranty Gold is rated #1.

GM's warranty (3/36) includes batteries, shocks, tires......#205 of 877 What coverage means? by akjbmw
Aug 26, 2002 (10:18 pm)
When you read the contract, does it indicate that they will replace failed parts with new or used?The coverage by Lithia and First Extended Service on a failed transmission is to replace with a used unit from an auto wrecker. Not repaired. Used unit replacement. I was, and still am not, positively impressed.
Bottom Line. Don't be surprised. If the used unit gets you down the road the same as the original, I guess it's all good.
#206 of 877 2000 silverado rear doors don't close when cold by ivpush
Aug 27, 2002 (7:54 am)
Anyone else experience this. I thought there was a TSB on this, but I can't find it and the dealer thought it was on 1999 models only. I only have 800 miles left under warranty. It is not a big deal, but I have to slam the rear doors several times to get them to latch completly.Advertisement
