Ouch that's harsh

Hey anything mechanical can have its day, just the nature of things, just sucks when it happens to you.

I talked to the tech today. They are getting the parts for the truck. He had explained to me that I need to really drive the truck. He actually said, " Drive it like you stole it. These engines really need to be run hard." I said really. So if I get a ticket for speeding, will Chrysler pay for the ticket since, " I need to drive it like I stole it." I got the silence treatment on the other end of the phone. He also did not like it when I said, "I need to know when the drive will be drivable so I can take it across the street to trade it in for a new Ford." More silence on the phone.

That just goes to show you what has happened to customer service these days. That blows. Gotta say your responses are entertaining though. Not very comforting for you I'm sure But you made me laugh!

Yikes, that sucks Tazz. I'm not having such great luck with my F250 either but more on the chasis side. 2 new front wheel bearings (same side within a month), both sets rear springs broken, 3 drive shaft repairs, and a rear oil pump sensor let go. I'm very dissapointed as well. I wish I still had my old Dodge!

Sled-I can understand the 2nd wheel bearing-possible tech error. But both sets of rear springs--did they break in half?. 3 drive shaft repairs? those just dont sound right

That seems to be popular advice from the people who sell parts and service, but not from the engineers who design and test the engines. Could there be a conflict of interest? Yes, methinks.

[you da man]

I have 113,000 miles on my 5.9L mega cab with zero problems (pleae Lord don't let me jinx myself). How many miles do you have Tazz?

[tazz3069]

26500 miles. My first Turbo was replaced at around 2000 miles. Second turbo at around 8000 or so. Then I added the Edge Programmer and nothing till now at 26500 miles. Chrysler seems to think that the Edge caused these problems. From my numbers, I think they are wrong. i should be getting the truck back on Friday. The day I leave to Don Pedro. God I need to get out on the water. DP here we come.

I have a Quadzilla programmer running no more than 60hp setting when I'm not towing and stock when towing. I have an AFE Stage II intake and Aeroturbine exhaust. Sucks that you got a lemon so to speak. Can't believe the turbo went out twice in under 8000 miles.

The Stealership told me that I should get my truck back on Friday. We'll see.

Daze, first DS repair they just swaped it out with another, or so they said, however the vibration was the exact same, second they said they put in new universals, vibration reduced but still there. Third repair they sent the DS to a balancing shop and discovered the front yoke was a little out and reset and rebalanced. Problem gone. Leaf springs on both sides have several layers that have broken in half, and some pcs are not even there any more. At the end the rear of the truck was riding on the overloaders and nothing else. With the tailgates down my buddies f150 was 3 inches higher than mine. I have 34 inch tires and he has stock.

ive never heard of a leaf spring breaking-I dont believe you got a brand new truck but I think its newer--any ideas on how a spring breaks in half ?
