Attention: TDR Forum Junkies have '02 quad w/long bed, c/s, tow, 4wd... . made in mexico city... . what could be the trouble??? no abuse, family farm and horse trailer puller. has 351 gears and already been through a complete transmittion build from dealer... this is my 4th TD truck... 91, 94, 01, 02. no trouble at all w/01 but had 411 gears and made in St. Louie. Shoulda kept that truck!! but wanted 7/100000 dt warranty.
WhATS NEXT... ????? Why would the ball joints (both lower ones so bad that can't tell how bad the top ones were) and track bars go out so soon?
maybe i just got a bad one... but i really don't think so. surely more people out there have had early problems with theirs??? any one out there have any ideas... frame or other possibilities. Tires wear OK. Still have origional Mich's on it. Does D/C use different brands or manuf. front end parts at mexico city assembly plant than the one in St Lo. ??? Will my dealer have to use D/C replacement Parts or can i use good A/M ball joints? WHO makes the best replacement ball Joints???
Thanks ahead of time... can use any info available. .
