Wow! Delivered my truck to the dealer for the front axle repair on April 8th an got it back yesterday. 19 Weeks Down!
Finally convinced them and FCA to change out the entire front axle and it was completed yesterday. Apparently FCA kept sending axle parts for a gas version of the 210M axle which...
I don’t have to explain anything.
1. I offered a possibility for the leaks.
2. Take that possibility or leave it, I don’t give a shit.
3. Again the realm of possibility is the person installing the new axle buggered the job.
4. If someone offers an opinion, no explanation is required - it is...
I think the issue with the RR seal leak is not a parts or machining issue but rather an install issue. Probably done by robots and something in the install was damaging the seal due to robot wear, or parameters not set quite properly.
I bought the diesel for every other reason than fuel economy. The mpg is just a bonus and I really don’t care if it ever “pays” for itself. To me, that is a poor reason to buy the diesel.
Further info on this saga, and what a tale of woe this is.
The dealer ordered the axle shaft (more on this shaft later) and the box was delivered by UPS with axle shaft missing. UPS couldn’t find it so FCC ordered another dealer who had the only one in stock in Canada to sent the shaft to my...
Same thing here in Alberta. Dealers that normally have 200-250 Ram trucks on the lot have only 10-25, and no more coming until 2022 models arrive.
There are no discounts available either.
I feel for you. I’m at 8 weeks with truck at the dealer waiting for a front axle shaft. The wrong shaft - too short - was installed at the factory. We don’t have lemon laws here. The government is in the pockets of car salesmen politicians.
Ford F series. Ford executive meeting: “Hey lets park 110,000 trucks and tell everyone we don’t have chips.
This should be good for business because we can discount them 30% when the new model comes out”.
Meanwhile those of us that wear ball caps see that there are 6 new semi-conductor plants...
One reason I bought the Tazer is for the high idle function especially (imo) needed for a diesel. And since my trial settings using speed radars for calibrations seems to be dead-on now, I know the tire size setting that works.
Yes, and I’d love to do that but the problem I have is a buggered back. I can’t contort myself to get to the SGW connectors so that is why I got the extension cables to hang down and then plug the Tazer in at bottom of steering column height. A local shop guy plugged the extension cable in for...
Shadows, I have an extension cable for my Tazer. When I unmarry and remove to go to the dealer the SGM is also disconnected. Do you know of a blank module to connect that will complete the original circuit?
