Reluctor/tone wheel install not covered

All,

I purchased a MOPAR replacement reluctor/tone wheel ($25). I called the dealership I bought my ED from for an estimate to replace it as a preventive measure. With required bolts kit and labor they quoted me $1,150.

I asked the service manager if FIAT is doing anything to subsidize preventive installation of this part that seems to eventually fail on all these trucks. His answer was that FIAT will not cover this repair. In addition, he said he doesn't expect FIAT to expand the scope of the extended warranty or cover anything that isn't already included.

I will be looking for a local shop to replace the tone ring to hopefully reduce the cost significantly. My brother and I are headed to MT on a elk hunt in Sep. and i really don't want to be stranded on the side of the rode over 1,000 miles from home.

No idea. Have 107k on OEM, so if I can get that much on this one it’ll be worth it.

Do you have the tone wheel part number? Is the tone wheel upgraded or the original design?

The part information is below:

Description:RELUCTOR WHEEL. Crankshaft.
Part Number: 68493358AA
Quantity:1
Price:$25.95

I have no idea if it is upgraded or the original design. I had a heck of a time getting it as after I ordered it they ran out of stock and it took an additional 4 weeks to receive it. Also made in France...

Mine is also a 4x4 and fell inside the range for W58, but that doesn't fix anything, it just lets you get to the side of the road without stalling.

I have to wonder why yours is covered and mine is not. Mine stopped entirely and had to be towed.

The installation of the tone wheel is not covered. The software update was all that was included in W58. If mine goes out and I'm stranded, I will have to pay for cost of repairs. That's why I'm looking to replace it proactively.

I just had the reluctor wheel fail @ 97,700 mi. and took out my crankshaft sensor. The CS sensor and labor was covered under warrantee but the tone wheel (part only) cost me $51.69.
Sure is nice to have the turbo back...was driving in limp mode for 3 weeks before I could get it in the shop.

There is not a revision so it is the same part, unfortunately rather than throw away 1000$, run it until failure and get the reimbursement warranty.
