Back after some severe problems

Lariat Trucker · June 27th, 2008, 09:45 PM

Although I doubt anybody missed me.....

I had several problems hit all at once.

Real bad vibration around 70 mph, dealer blamed it on aftermarket wheels had to borrow a set of factory take-offs to get them to deal with it. Driveshaft threw a balance weight.

Hard banging when turning corners. Rear end center section had bad bearing races????

Leaking trans fluid. Resealed trans pan. Looks like crap with big globs of silicon sealer dripping down the pan sides. Mechanic called me anal!

Sirius fault in radio. Had to argue about subscription status, it turned out to be the satellite module. 2 weeks for a new one to arrive.

This all happened after one night at the track on slicks???? Makes no sense!

But, everything seems to be back to normal now after about a month of constant conflict with a service advisor.

your dealer must have gone to the same school as mine. This spring I was at the dealer 7 times for 4 problems, including them screwing stuff up that wasn't wrong when it went in. My dealer expectations are pretty low, they really have to screw things up for me to get upset, but these guys come through every time. My replacement radio is still screwed up from their install which took 3 days of shop time with 2 weeks in between visits. I love the car,too bad its backed by morons

atleast they finally took care of it, but you definately need to find a new dealer

psycho bob · June 28th, 2008, 09:51 AM

they only took care of it because he did the foot work in putting stock wheels back on which shouldn't have to be done. i'm lucky enough to have a dealer that doesn't care to much about what i do as far as aftermarket goes.

I found a bonus ! I took the car over to my neighborhood car wash to clean off the engine. Opened the hood and found a 1/4" drive ratchet, an extension and a 10mm socket. Nice Snap-On stuff....The mechanic is probably still paying for it!

My parents beat honesty into me, he"ll get them back on Monday.
