Granted you would think a dealer service tech would know the proper maintenance procedures on a vehicle...but as a lot of people have seen time and time again even the salesmen have no idea what a PW is. Why would you let someone touch your vehicle that has no idea what a locked differential is...(I'm guessing most Ram techs). Maybe its just a way to justify voiding the warranty on my truck and the wife's Rubicon; but god I feel a lot better about having a guy come out to look at my vehicle while I'm explaining the problem that's covered up to the elbows in grease with a giant beard as opposed to a slick suit wearing fast talker that seems like they should be selling shower curtain rings as most service reps are. Its always driven me nuts trying to explain a problem to a person that has no clue how vehicles work. I say do maintenance (at the absolute least) like this yourself, then you know its done right.
Old '06 PW (Sold)- BDS Long Arm Kit, 37" Interco M16's, ATX Cornice Wheels, DT Pro Fab steering box brace, Dynatrac Ball Joints, SY Eliminated Transfer Case, Custom Tom Wood's DS, Dynatrac Free Spin Hubs
'13 Cummins - 4.56s, front ARB locker, Thuren Alien Arms, Stage 6 king 3.0's, LT leafs, 40"s on Trail Ready's
As predicted my dealer mechanic said the lube joint doesnt exist! Im just venting at this point, but I would like chrysler to replace my dead parts since they maintained my truck for the first 100k miles. I now have 180K so i doubt it but im pissed off right now. Ill try to post some pics for you all to laugh at me. Matthew
No one is going to laugh. Seems like that mysterious cardon grease zerk in the u-joint is elusive and more than a few people have spent some serious time trying to find it. It's a shame the dealer doesn't know how to do that---they should shoulder some of the blame if you exclusively relied on them to perform regular maintenance.
