I don't discuss the specifics of my arrangements with my teams but they are still with me. It was 2 weeks total the truck was down, several days of it due to CAT holding things up with having to see things at certain stages etc.. CAT is just a junky outfit and I'll never have anything to do with them again after this one.

Yea, i don't know, but it seems the fact that they are paying 45% shows Cat is admitting fault, but nowhere in the extended srvce contract does it say they will only pay 45%. Seems to me it would be a good case, Cat should pay all or none. There have been many cases settled in favor of the warranty customer where the OEM didn't pay what they should. Even dealers can be liable, as if they were saying, sorry, we won't work on your truck under warranty, this is not right and maybe worth triple damages. I have seen it before in the car busniness where a judge seriously slapped the dealer and OEM w/ triple on a case where they did not want to do warranty work on a vehicle, or even just postponed the repair, because it was sold new by their competitor in Cali some years back. I say go for it!!

I once had a class 8 cat,that was in for warranty work.Cat wanted to see records of my oil changes and they told me if I hadn't been using the CAT filters,they wouldn't be helping me.
Good luck LEO

fair enough .
the rezone i asked , is if you take it to the blood sucking lawyers ,then the lost of income for the team will need to be aded on .

but now that we brought it up ,i wounder ,(and it might need to start a new discussion ), what will be acceptably by a team ,and what will be your ,or other owners,recommendation ,as to keeping a team in the truck ,if the truck is in the shop for 2 weeks or so ...
