Warranty does not extend warranty. The reman will have warranty until the end of the warranty the truck was sold with.

From working in the warranty industry, I would avoid that as a blanket statement since some rebuilders offer their own stand-alone warranty. Unfortunately, some of those are also parts only and do not include labor. Or, at least, that used to be the case. I've been out of it (thankfully) for a long time.

Parts Warranties can be misleading

Many of the Auto Parts Stores sold Chevy/GMC 327/350 Rebuilt Water Pumps under the name GNC.
The Water Pumps came with a Lifetime Warranty

Well that Warranty expired after 2 years, because the Water Pump company changed Names & ownership, the warranty did not carry over.

I understand the quote, exchange parts carry the same warranty as new, but if your engine is replaced under warranty with a reman engine or even a new engine, the warranty for that part will only be for the remainder of your original warranty. So if you have 5 years/60,000 mile engine warranty and you have 50,000 miles on your vehicle and is 4 years old, when that engine is replaced you will have only 10,000 miles and 1 year left of warranty. That information isn't in the manual but you can check with your dealer for verification. No manufacturer is going to extend your warranty beyond the original warranty. If you still doubt it, contact Stelantes customer service@ 800-399-2668.
Actually, it is in the manual
