We can fix you up as well boss. I still think they're blowing smoke up your rear but that's hard to swallow without pictures. Honestly still think it's a cam sensor.
Well bad new from the dealership, after installing the new intake sensor, all new plugs/wires, they called back and said that it running so rich cause the cylinder walls to be washed with fuel and I'm going to need a new engine!. Imagine that.. Now the BIG question, is it cheaper to build or just bite the bullet and trade? I see used from 10k up, new from 20k and up.. Is there somewhere to get a rebuild kit? Overhaul kit? The best cheapest route? There has to be aftermarket internals if building too right?
Did they fix the running rich issue, and what was the problem ?? They can't just say that your engine is toast and you need to replace it....you'll be in the same boat as you are now ( only $7k lighter in the pocket)
A compression test is easy to do and so is a reputable mechanic with a second opinion, that's what I would do.
Yours does not make sense at all.:dontknow:Well thats what they told me, I have 2 bad bearings and need a motor 15k note this was a dealer. So it has now become obvious the dealerships have no way of servicing viper motor powered vehicles.
Arrow will rebuild your motor for 8 to 12k (depending on problem they find after they tear it down) or they can sell you a reman one for 13k which is basically a rebuilt viper motor the right way so it wont burn oil and spin bearings etc. Im still in the process of getting a second pinon on mine as I dont see how I can just spin a bearing from it sitting and being dropped off rocks 5 inches high.
They still havnt told me the exact issue yet but they said the internals for this engine are very difficult to track down. As of now they are saying 11,400$ to put a new engine in with a 3yr warranty but still seems crazy to me that this thing will start and run.. idles kind of rough but still seems like its stuck in limp mode!!! ive blown up a few engines and thrown a few rods and the damn thing still screams down the road until it cant anymore. This truck is not making any noise and starts fine.. Hard to believe in just a second that a 10cyl engine cant go over 15mph, and wont rev over 3k!!!
when you get tired of playing the dealer ship games they play, bring it over about 5 hours west, or we can pick up,
I don't care for dealerships being badmouthed, but Tony is very, very right here. You need to let someone that knows what the hell they're doing get their hands on it.
me either actually , but sounds like he is in a bad place
