Well, like the old saying goes, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!" Glad it's being taken care of!!!:thumbsup Just don't say too much until your truck is back in your hands!!! Missed you in Joliet!! Take care!:thumbsup

 

i hear ya DW, what the hell do yall think did it, the bullydog or just one of them things?

 

Glad it wasnt anything too major! :thumbsup

I guess Saturday was the day of problems with some of the trucks, yours, Tonys coolant leak, my LP going south.

Like the saying goes, if ya aint breakin parts, ya aint pushin it hard enough! :lol3:

 

whiterocket, I am very happy to here that its all paid for. But what happened.

The last time I heard of fuel in the oil every one was concerned about cylinder wash. When you get it back keep an I out for the color of the smoke.
I don't think you drove it long enough for any damage. But just keep it in mind.

 

don believe me im happy as a pig in poop that its nothing more than a inconvience i was brainstorming all day on what to tellem if they started busting my chops about a programmer or something.

jaymo i really dont know what happened, im far from a mechanic really and i didnt get to talk to the one that is working on it. this is pretty much how it went in a nutshell. got stuck behind soem traffic in the fast lane they moved outta the way i started to accelerate (i didnt mash it just, accelerated enough to get me back up to 75-80 from around 65-70) then mid pass on the car i was waiting on poof major white smoke and i could tell it was missing....kinda hard to explain noise by typing but it was somewhat similar to a jake brake sound. i pulled over got out checked the engine hoping it was a tube or soemthing that just came loose nope nothing i didnt see any liquid or anything at that point said a few choice words and got back in the truck thats when i called tony...startd it back up and went about half mile to a emergency turn around and headed back south for soem reason i thought there was a truck stop not to far from me...more on that in a sec....went about 2 miles maybe and it died period i ended up coasting up to the 174 mile marker. i probly shouldnt have drove it after pulling over the first time but was trying to limp back to this non existent truck stop lol it ended up being about 35 miles from where i was at i musta been half asleep.

so if the smoke is white when i get it back it aint rite, ill look for that thanks jay...cylinder wash ive heard the term a number of times but never really got the definition what is it when ya burn up your rings? that should be covered by warranty as well rite? and wouldnt they be able to tell that its still screwed up?

 

well if you need new injector and there was fuel in the oil chances are the injectors were cracked. letting the fuel into the top of the head. i have heard of pressure boxes causeing this. glad to hear there fixing it on them. and if there was fuel in the oil make sure they change the filter and oil.

 

ive heard of the pressure boxes doing that too chances are thats what happened but i didnt think that the power pup added that much pressure. im thinkin of sellin the power pup anyway pisses me off i cant seem to get the advertised 230 added hp that the box has on it anyway...maybe thats a good thing lol it has decent power but im kinda bored with it and looking for a new setup god knows theres a 100 of em out there...the smarty sounds awesome but for that much money id liek to have adjustment on the fly

 

Glad to hear everythings alright! I'm just getting back up to speed from being gone all weekend! what dealership did ya take it to? if ya don't mind..... my being from Taylorville I may know where it's at!

 

Thanks for chimen in Ramicator. I knew there were other reasons for this I didn't want to scare you whiterocket. I was really tired when i posted it last night.

 

All six injectors are bad? Wow... Dirty fuel is probably the number one reason for bad injectors. Couple that with pressure spikes (some boxes are worse than others) and you've got cracked injectors. And that's why I've got 4 fuel filters.

 

headhunter ther dealership is green dodge, i dotn know how long it has been since youve been here but they used to be next to s&k pontiac gmc and called soemthing else i cant remember, now they are way out on the west end on wabash. green is doing pretty good at buying up all teh dealerships around here it seems like......i guess i could be getting crappy fuel soemtimes the plac ei get it at i think has been ther for at least 20-30 years....well so far the most exspensive part of the wholedeal was the towingbill approx.400 bones ya i know cheap compared to what it could be if things werent under warranty. FYI the towing assistance pakage they have for us expires at 36,000 the number still works and they will get ya help if you need it but you have to pay for it, so we just had a local guy tow it for us. all in all things are going ok so far just one of lifes lil speed bumps. thanks for yalls concern and information. oh ya outta the cobalt and into a obnoxiously loud dually flatbed chevy lol our new work truck comes complete with a outside airvent rite in the floor board never seen and option like that before:lol3:

 

yep know right where they are @... was actually there about 2 months ago. but not for anything serious! yeah I can't remember what the name used to be! they seem to be pretty good to deal w/!

 

just popped in my head, obrien auto team is what it was.....casey gorda is our salesman if anyone is in the area and lookin for a vehicle we have bought 6 trucks off of him hes done us pretty good on prices. the service department well i wasnt so wild on them in the past(i had a starter issue) but i guess they have a protocall to follow. they are doing ok this time through so far....

 

i really shouldnt put that past problem all on the service department, the mechanic had said that chrysler/dodge has been a real mother to deal with as far as parts reinbursement

 

yep... Obrien! I couldn't think of it either!

there were out on the south side for a while right?

 

green is in the same building obrien had when they moved , before they were pretty much across the street from the shop n save on dirkson and south grand

 

Hey Rocket, you get your truck back yet??? Just wondering!!:thumbsup

 

I believe he's waiting on a fuel line from DC.

DW- Do you remember the other white truck that ran with us at the dyno with the nice fender flares? He ran just Quadzillas XZT box... Do you remember his numbers or do you remember his name or forum name?

 

Tony, I believe he was a bit over 300hp but I don't remember the torque #'s or his screen name!! Sorry.:CRY:

 

Tony, he was from TDR, His screen name is PKnoerzer. Sorry bud, I dont remember his numbers.

 

yup im still waiting on the fuel line, so hopefully monday. seems like i havent driven it for a year, it will be like getting a new truck again lol

 

I know what you mean, I havent driven mine since last Saturday, got the FASS ready to go in tomorrow, I cant wait! :hyper:

 

hey guess what guys....no truck back yet, called em today and they told me i need a new turbo as well thats suppose to be in tomorrow and hope to get it back in the afternoon......... well see. the person i talked to said they were getting ready to call me because thay had just gottin clearance to ok the turbo fix she told me i was up to almost 7k in parts...wtf thats quit a mark up compared to aftermarket prices a set of injectors and a turbo wouldnt be more than 4-5k from the prices ive seen on the internet what gives there

 

Rocket..... I should have let ya know sooner but we were in Springpatch on Thursday. I had a Dr. Appt there... we were out by Best Buy and remembered that your truck was in the Shop... was wondering how things were coming along!

hey if it's warranty work... I'd say let them mark it up as much as they want to! and if it's not warranty work.... :fist:


glad to hear you should be back rollin TODAY!

 

ya its all paid for but hell just give me teh 7g's and let me get what i want to put on there and they can install it lol

 

What's the word, Rocket??? Got your rig back yet???opcorn: opcorn:

 

i talked to dodge yesterday and now i guess june 7th is the earliest i should expect to get my truck back now im waiting on a backordered turbo, i gues there is 30 or 31 on back order and from what ive been told im either #30 or 31 on the list:fist: so another cpl weeks i guess. i dotn really understand why its takin so long with theese backordered parts why dont they have a stockpile of this stuff ready to go.
