I was supposed to go to the dyno yesterday, but I'm getting some warranty work done and they haven't finished yet. I wanted to see what a good ball park number would be for me to look for going in. I've got the full mopar exhaust, full headers, no cats and borla after cat. Mopar CAI and...

A little update... Well I couldn't take it. I left work and went to the dealership to inspect it for myself. The bolt was infact stripped and they also discovered that the power steering hose was leaking. He quoted me $1100 for the pan. We went round and round with me telling him that I...

I'm so pissed right now. I'm just going to go up there and get this crap settled. I'm going to make them show me the pan and how they expect to get it corrected. What was supposed to be a 5 hour repair is turning into a freakin disaster!

Well what in the heck am I supposed to do if they say "we'll be happy to replace the pan for you but its going to be two months before we can get one" Am I supposed to pay for a rental car for two months? I'm already on day two with this pos rental. Should they reimburse me for going over...

Where have you heard that the pans are in short supply? They would be just about my luck at this point. Sh1t!!!!!

I just got the truck last week. The dealer that I purchased it from did the oil change before I bought it. I have changed the tranny and diff fluid already. I was actually going to change the oil just to be anal but then realized that it would be changed when they performed the recall. I...

What am I supposed to do, tow it somewhere else?

When I mentioned that the guy seemed a little hesitant. He said that he had never done one on an aluminum pan before. I searched the net a little and it seems to be a fairly routine repair, so long as they get all of the metal shavings out of the pan. Any dealers on the board that care to...

I took my truck in to have the camshaft bolt recall taken care of yesterday. It was supposed to be done yesterday afternoon but they needed another part. So today the guy calls me and tells me they have a problem. When they removed the oil pan bolt it stripped the pan out. They said that...

Man, that sounds sweet. Do you have to do the valve covers? I though i saw some valve cover spacers on another site. Do you have any experience with those, or have any?

Always 93 octane. Its not a knocking sound, definitely more like a busy valve train doing its thang i guess. I'm off to the dyno on thursday. I'll be sure to post my numbers. I've got the full mopar system from the headers to the tip...and no cats. I'm pretty pumped.

I think all is normal, but the front right cylinder (#2) seems like its louder than the rest. Has anyone every had to readjust the rockers?

Guys, I apologize for the bombardment of questions but I've got another one. I've been very conscious of listening for wierd noises since i picked the truck up last week. Today, on my way to work, i thought that I heard a little valve/lifter tap. When i got home today i checked the oil...

Just wanted to see where you Atlanta area guys take your trucks for warranty work. I.e. which dealerships that you know of that are "cool". I'm getting the extended warranty on my 04. i've got the full mopar exhaust and cold air intake so I need the dealer to be somewhat reasonable...

I have seen a few FI motors go, but I wonder how many have gone just from regular driving or even abuse.:dontknow:

Me Too!! I just picked my truck up last week and i'm sure I'll get $24 bucks worth of info of this site in the next few years. Please make the necessary changes, mods.:D

thanks guys. I saw your responses after the fact, but I was able to park it on a hill so that i could squeeze the last few ounces in to the pumpkin.

Just found it. (RPM X Tire Diameter) / (MPH X 336) :)

I know that the 04s came with 4.10s factory. I bought my truck used and it has several aftermarket parts on it already. I'd like to find out if i have aftermarket gears in the rear. Isn't there a way to calculate the gear ratio without pulling the rearend cover?

Anybody messed with the parking brake? I just picked up my truck last week and the parking brake barely works. I have to push it to the floor to get any real holding power. I ordered a new manual for the truck but it will not be here until friday. I'd like to get this taken care of before...
