It's only 10 miles away from me. I wish I could waive my temporary registration at the rail yard and get the keys and drive off. Then I'd get the pleasure of pulling the plastic from the wheels and stuff. Heh.
That was my guess - it seems like that process is not describable though. Who contacts the 3rd party - the railroad, FCA, or is it the dealership? How long does it usually take for that 3rd party to respond and get vehicles there? Is today outside of the norm (considering it was offloaded...
So my LE arrived in town yesterday and was unloaded from the train at 10:24am. Salesman, who has been great throughout the process in terms of keeping me updated when status changes, hasn't been able to provide any info on when/how it will get to the dealership that is 10 miles from the rail...
Was watching a youtube video of a guy who is building a Gladiator for overlanding and I noticed something when he panned into the wheel well....a zip tie. Video link should play at the 4 minute mark.
On hold with the online chat bot. They act like they can't just change a date in a database. "We can't stop it once it is started." Dude, go to the "trial end date" field, change it to a different number. Their "supervisor" said I have to wait until the paid portion starts and they will adjust...
My Jeep is on a train - almost here, maybe even by tomorrow or the next day. In order to make it such that I could just show up and grab the thing and leave, I finished the paperwork last week (on the 14th). Got an email that my Sirius was started on the 14th also. I'm looking at losing a week...
In addition to that the harmonics between the rotating front and rear drive shafts can create a oscillating hum. The frequency and amplitude would depend on the situation. [Banned Site] youtube channel has a video where he diagnosed a drive shaft imbalance by removing each shaft and driving up to...
Starting from my order on 4/4 my salesman checks the system each morning he is at work and sends me a text if the status has changed or if the location has changed. Just got an update this morning that it is in Glendive, MT about 236 miles away.
EDIT: I know it shows the legs of the journey as...
I know that two LEs were ordered by dealer staff when I got mine. My guess is those two have a decent chance of hitting the lot once they show up and the person who ordered it "changed their mind." I try and be glass half full, but it wouldn't surprise me if they ordered just to have a couple to...
The way I look at it, forums are a place where people look to share information - so when someone does experience an issue they start the search and when the find one they post hoping to benefit from the shared knowledge pool. The downside is the appearance of a magnification of specific issues...
You can see even in the example video the clamp flexing on the tailgate when he applies pressure. My guess is that after a period of uses it will weaken the flexed metal and cause the dent observed in the review. It is also concerning the amount of effort he has to expend as the leverage has to...
My build sheet did not show up until "I" status. So it had to pass E, F, and G first in my experience. That happened on a Friday for me (the build sheet showing up). I didn't get an update from my salesman until Monday and on that day the window sticker showed up along with being sent to KZ...
A couple summers ago the kids started driving and we bought a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so we could do the hand-me-down of the sedan to the wife and the van to the kids. I had the sedan for 4 years and didn't really have any issues in the winter (Montana). I have snow tires put on in the winder...
Yesterday I placed an order for door sill protectors and a shorty antenna. I've already received the slush/mud mats. I don't have the truck yet. The eyebrow raise I got from my wife on the most recent order was concerning. :) On the upside, the train is getting closer, so maybe I'll have a truck...
Or maybe a zip-tie to a non-moving structure? Maybe glue something on the backside like a rod or something? At some point they'll update the part. I might go to an aluminum liner once it is available.
I paid invoice out the door. My state doesn't have sales tax and one doesn't pay for the registration until the plates are sorted out by the state (within a month of the dealer submitting the paperwork to the state). As those items are per state too and not a part of what the dealership makes...
