Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Well, I have my truck in right now getting both front u-joints getting replaced under the powertrain warranty because one is squeaking and the other is actually locked up tight.
well, they just called and tell me that they have tried for hours and they cannot get the hub off the locked joint side at all. I went down to look at it and they have beat it into submission and it won't budge.
then they proceed to tell me that the hubs aren't covered because I am past 36,000 and I will have to pay for them. I say NO WAY in H$$L. 450+ per bearing. I know I saw them on here and I have to search but they were less than 200. 00. I told them to put it back together because I am more than capable of doing it, but they can't because they screwed up the threads in the bearing already.
Now, I will say this, the dealer is always good to me and they sponsor my race car. the mechanic is a friend and I am confident in him for sure. the problem that I have is that they agree it should be a no-brainer, but supposedly they can't just replace them under warranty without chrysler approval. That is ridiculous. I called the 1-800 number and asked the chrysler service person if they took there car to be fixed and the place fixed it but had to break something else to get to it and they weren't responsible, what would you say. She said I would make them pay for it. I said now you see my point, she said it still needs to be reviewed before a decision can be made.
the dealer already ordered them and said that would figure it out somehow.
so my whole point is that . 20 worth of D$mn anti-sieze would have prevented this whole dang scenario.
just had to vent.
