brent i want to know everything. what my truck needs what it cost partslaborsupplies=total and if the parts are in stock. now i may or may not have the dealer due the repair. i will take your list go home due what i can on my own what i cant will most of the time go back to the dealer. example took my 02 dakota in for the upper ball joint recall. when the job was done i had a list that said i needed the lower ball joints replaced power steering flushed brake fluid flushed and that i had 35% left on front brake pads. the only thing that i cared about was the lower ball joints. parts were not in stock the cost 125ea. labor 65x3.5hr = 227.50 front aliment 55 total 532.50. did the ball joints myself used moog ball joints list price 122ea my cost 57ea i have a cash and carry account at the parts store. it took me 3hr. using hand tools only. i had a local shop do the front aliment $45. total cost 159 and a saturday morning. a note to the wise if you dont have a good 1/2 inch drive socket set and a very good ball joint pressi have a otc/ snap-on dont attempt this job. will deal with brake fluid flush when i do the front brakes. will deal with power steering when i do the transmission and trans case service. this would have went to the dealer if i couldnt have done the job. have i had problems with my dealer yes i had a transmission flush and they refilled with atf 3 not the atf 4 that it was shipped from dodge with. they wouldnt fix it and after i e-mailed dodge several time the only thing they said was that we recommend atf 4 in your truck. not that your must have atf 4. recommend is a big gray area to me. 10000 and the trany is still good. i will change both filters and top off with atf 4 after another 10000 miles. i still think when it comes to late model cars and trucks your dealer knows best. but the dealer parts are overpriced. if you buy new from the dealer how about a discount on parts when the dealer does the service. so brent tell them everything even the ones that want to be an ass. on thu 7 apr 2005 001341 -0600 drgn1400@webtv.net brent d wrote i tried this ng in both ways; nice/full of shit and mean/honest. obviously the mean/honest approach stirs responses and reveals the best from the ignorant. so ill be mean and honest. recently did a d47 ball joint recall on a durango and noticed the brakes were real thin. customer responded to the writer by saying; why are you selling me crap i dont need when i just want the recall done that i need after that i chose not to mention the leaking front shocks and loose tie rod ends not under warranty on this vehicle. after all if brakes arent important why is suspension and steering two weeks later the customer returns and complains to the service manager that we did not recognize the loose rod ends and midas who did their brake repair that they did not need. . . remember did notice the problem. as a dealer we are cons for recognizing needed repairs while performing warranty services yet we are idiots and inferior to independents when we dont. make up your minds. waiting to hear from the warranty kings and queens who have stories of repairs that should have been done under warranty. read the manual that you never opened and came with the vehicle its not covered. brent on the rag again brent beekeep .
