Despite all the bickering back and forth....the transmission is gone. Pretty much all fault lies with Jasper, no one else. Jasper is voiding the warranty due to the fact the truck has a blower. The problem we have is Jasper knew the truck had the blower on it, this is a demo type transmission they admit would have some quirks to work out and they are not standing by their product. Plus the powers that be at Jasper are refusing to discuss the situation with us, for whatever reason we don't know(I have my suspicions). I have been driving the truck, not Jay and I drive like a grandma most of the time. For a brand new transmission to only have 500 miles on it before it goes out is bogus no matter how you look at it. All we want is to be able to drive and enjoy the truck.
Between everyone there has been a lot of miscommunication about what is going on. Despite what everyone says, Jay doesn't drive this truck hard at all. Hell, he's never home. I have driven the truck more than he has. Now he beats the hell out of my Maggie,but this truck is his baby. When he gets on the forum and posts possible problems, he wants advise and support...not for everyone to bash him because "he's talking shit about Eddie's truck". Jay comes on here to vent not call people out, unfortunately it has come to this. Yes he over reacts sometimes maybe he is a "vehicle hypochondriac", that is his one flaw. I think everyone has uncertainty at times. A liar he is not. As with most men, when he's egged on he says things he normally regrets. What I think is funny is that as a group of men that talk shit about how melodramatic women can be are more catty than most women I see.
WE KNEW UPFRONT the truck would need work. From the get go I started saving up to have the engine rebuilt. That will be done in August. We just hoped the truck would at least drive until the time came. We bought this truck site unseen from Eddie because of all the badass work he did to it and we are still grateful for what he has done. We love this truck, Jay is just dishartened about the fact he cant drive it the few days he’s home every few months. We are grateful we had the opportunity to buy this truck, considering I destroyed our previous SRT10.
Any of you would be upset if you bought a built anything that you couldn’t drive. That’s the bottom line.
Some of you need to grow thicker skin including my husband. Oh and if anyone buys a truck from another member and then has problems with it, don’t disclose who you bought the truck from because you will have written your own demise.
Thank you for your time and support we are done here.
