    Well, I had a few things go wrong with the Dodge and put her into the dealership to own up on the warranty.

    Things that went wrong:

    Passenger power windows intermentantly inop

    Drivers front seat leather retainer broke, caused the leather to seperate from the seat foam

    HVAC blower whistles in mid to high setting

    And I am finally having the speedometer sensor fixed for those 35" meats


    Hopefully, I will have it by next week:confused:

    Anyone have any similar problems with there Dodge?

    I just got a call from the dealership, they are replacing the window switches and giving me a brand new leather seat??:pimp:

    The whistling sound? They said it was due to debris being sucked up into the fan and are going to charge me for that:mad:

    They said with the speedo calibration and the fan cleaning will be 8/10 of an hours labor.

    $101 an hour:doah:

    Oh well, at least it will be fixed right?

    8-10 hrs to pull a piece of paper out of the blower and recalibrate the speedo? Screw that, I'd clean out the blower myself and order a Smarty that is coming for your truck soon. It has the famous smarty programming, can recalibrate for bigger tires like you need, and leaves no footprints in the ECM at ALL. You could have that for $650, a few hundred less than what their labor would be to do what you could in a couple of minutes with the Smarty and how ever long it takes for you to get the stuff out of the squirrel cages.

    Sorry, I meant to say 8/10th's of an hour......So I am assuming $80 in labor:) Not too bad to have it working right again.
