AISIN leaking

[SnoKing]

I will say that following this thread, I have second thoughts about asking the dealer to look at my AISIN. I noticed at second tire rotation some evidence of possible weepage around a few bolts in the tail housing of the t-case, sprayed with brake cleaner and it was there again at 15k service... I'll keep an eye on it, but seeing what happened here, I think I'd rather watch a potential leak than have them proactively "fix it".
I don't know about you all, but it seems when I take things in for warranty repair, I get them back worse than they started... I would rather do it myself... happened with initial quality issues on my 5er.. my wife's Honda (air bag recall they broke the dash). my truck is less than a year old and there are blemishes / discoloration and wrinkles in the door vinyl (between the windows). but I think it would be worse if I asked them to fix it..... seems always to be the case.. take it in for one thing end up with 3 other things in return

Just my 0.02$

I had that conversion with Costco tire many times. They insist on setting thes tire to the door jam inflation, which is for max axle load. I stand their and tell them there is no load in the bed and the rears do NOT need 80 PSI. In the end, I walked out to the truck when they were done and open the door, retrieved my pressure gauge and clip on inflator that I used as a deflator when not on a supply hose, and lower them to the pressure I wanted.

I made "way-too-much-info" EXCEL spreadsheets for all my vehicles for many years. Each one got amended as the data retained requirements expanded. The spreadsheet has evolved for my most recent vehicle, 2020 Ram 2500, to include scanning receipts, work orders, etc. to my computer then linking into the appropriate spreadsheet line items. Covers those laser printed "with time based disappearing ink" receipts. Files, folders, and spreadsheets are kept on my laptop, WD My-Cloud and a thumb drive. Yeah, retirement has its time perks.

Me too on the last 4 trucks. Each month I update the small spiral pads to the Excel spreadsheet. Interesting my former 2009 Ram 4500 C&C got like 9.63 MPG a good for 9 years 68K miles and my 17 Ram 5500 average 9.46 MPG 3 years 46K miles.

Dealer likes my documentation... I provided on a data disk and three hole binder. Good records provide great info, even to dealer maintenance when you take it in.

Cheers, Ron

Just received a call from my parts buddy. Trans was ordered on 11/01 and on 11/05 the delivery date was 11/22. So he sure had a step in his voice when he told me the date now is the 16th. MUCH better and hopefully will come in sooner. He said the trans guy will jump on it and have it done in one day. So hopefully that means we will be heading South on the 17th.

Challenge that new transmission right out of the box! Hope you get to head South soon. I have been riding the trike and working on the Side by Side and using it in the desert. If you get over this way I will take you for a ride in the Kawasaki KRX 1000.

Veteran's day parade today. I newly adopted daughter rode along to throw out candy and be my USO girl!

Too funny!!!!!!! That’s how this feels.

Well they are all great until they are not! I had three RAM/Cummins 1994(used first gen) to 2021 and I was never stranded, left waiting on a repair etc.

This has nothing to do with the truck. It’s all to do with the ability to get a product from one place to another.

Thanks “BRANDON”

OK this not a Political section and I know "I" started it but let's not get carried away as this thread is not complete.

Wouldn't wanna get the "axe with no explanation" treatment. Like a bad break up it tends to leave a lot of scars

Yea got the AX and didn't even get lube with the violation.

@Ram4Sam will probably be receiving a Nasty*Gram soon.

@Cummins12V98 , Is the trans ETA still tomorrow or has that been pushed back? I hope that you can get truck back before turkey day! Sounds like tech has everything ready to go. I'm sure he wants to get it off his plate!

 

[Cummins12V98]

Just spoke to parts guy. He said it came into Chicago on the 15th and left the 16th at 4:30am. Status is still tomorrow.

Let us all Pray.

Looks like Turkey Day is still possible at our friends place in Palm Desert, CA.

Well the saga continues. End of day no transmission so parts guy called R&L Couriers. They said trans scheduled to be delivered from Seattle Hub to Dealer Tuesday. He said to please deliver if possible Monday. I don’t have a user name and password to type in tracking. If anyone does let me know when it arrives in Seattle.

Looks like it did come all the way from the East Coast.

Looking less likely to have Thanksgiving in Palm Desert.
