The problem is.....once the insurance company starts the repairs, there is very little chance that they'll total it. I was talking to Justin last night and it sounds like the moron that worked on it didn't put some stuff back correctly. He also left the motor mounts completely loose.OSO said:I would think if Helfman wants to replace more large components and Justin has to call the insurance agency again to pay for it,its going to be a total.

May thinking it was flawed or warped somehow due to heat??? Also I remembered him saying they didnt replace the spark plugs, they cleaned them.
Why would anyone clean spark plugs?
I just don't understand that kind of economics...
Once a plug has been run, if it comes out, after inspection, it goes in the trash in my mind...

We poor boys still have spark plug cleaners, (not for the 10) but they have saved many dollars over time on my old clunkers.Prof said:
A dollar here, a dollar there adds up BTW, if ya have any used plugs send them to me. Wifey said: " if you have any used gold coins send them too. said ya don't need all that used crap laying around. hehe

Round 2 Has Begun
Well after having it out with a technician (an all out verbal assault in the service bay and had to be broken up by the "service manager") I was left with a screwed up truck all over again. They assured me that the engine was completed accept for the test drive. A huge part in my book but couldnt do a test drive because apparently my shifter was popping out of gear. This is due to the reverse shift fork that I notified them about. It does in fact pop out of reverse on occasion but every other gear shifted like butter after the slave/master install. After giving me a bill of 6200.00 for a new transmission, clutch, flywheel, and throw out bearing, i threw it back at them and drove off. My office is just over a mile from the dealership and did a high rev run down the feeder road. I immediately noticed that my shifter completely moved to the right. it didnt move out of gear but the whole tranny moved. This is what I discovered when I got to my office.
DRIVE SIDE MOTOR MOUNT
PASSENGER SIDE MOTOR MOUNT
DAMAGED AIR FILTER DUE TO ENGINE MOVEMENT
UNPLUGGED SENSOR ON BELL HOUSING
After jacking up the mounts and realigning the bolts onto the frame i was good to go (I thought). I drove it home and parked it with no noticeable engine failure. I started it in the morning and it felt like it wanted to bog down. It sounded like a real aggressive cam and was on the verge of stalling out but never did. I shut it off and had her towed the next day to a new dealership. I did verify that they in fact have a viper tech on premises but were having an engine guy look at it :dontknow: . This is where we stand as of now but will let you guys know of breaking news and developments as they occur:argh:
