Hmm...you guys got me thinking...
...thinking I should call the dealer and check if they ordered the part as my appointment for the recall is on Aug. 11!
I will most definitely be pissed if I show up for my appointment and they don't have the part ordered...!
I got some warranty coverage on the PMC from the stealership that goes something like...
as long as I bring back the PMC to their service dept at the scheduled interval for oil change, service, etc...they would warranty my engine for as long as I own it, full replacement, if needed, guaranteed...this coverage also includes a warranty coverage of $150 per tire, total of $600, towards a set a of 4 new tires...but I have to purchase the tires from them.
This stealership provided warranty coverage is free of charge, and is nowhere added on to the price of the vehicle, just an added "bonus" to go with your purchase of a brand new vehicle.
Well, after taking it in for its first "scheduled" oil change at the stealership, I got charged $97.35 for the oil change, and a full replacement set of tires would run about, $865, meaning I would still fork out about $265 and some change after coverage ( I had to ask...especially after I saw the bill for the oil change...I was like...What the...holy f...?!?)...that's more than a set for my truck.
Stealerships...O...M...G...!
Anyways...sorry for hijacking the thread a bit there...
And BTW, I ran Royal Purple in my 04 RAM 1500 5.7L...7 quarts, plus one quart Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer...actually ran nothing but RP...tranny oil, diff oil. Good stuff.
Engine ran like a champ up until the day I sold it...
