ledofthezep Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Bullshit, considering my truck falls in this category. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,141065,00.html No signs yet of mine going bad, but I'll have their ass if I wreck my truck because they screwed up & don't have the balls to stand behind they're shit & fix their screw-ups.

zilladude Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Led- It is real common on the 4x4's with the 31x10.50 15 tires. They usually start to get loose around 40,000 miles. I have seen one upside down in the ditch missing the left front knuckle/wheel. I dont know if it caused the roll or was a result of the roll. Quote
ledofthezep Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Posted December 10, 2004 That link no worky for me. 291585[/snapback] Dunno why? Still working for me? Anyway, here's the text... Gov't Asks Dodge to Recall 600,000 Trucks Friday, December 10, 2004 NEW YORK Quote
bigboybanshee Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 That really sucks!! I'm sure once that article gets read by more and more Dodge owners, they'll have to recall it.... That would be pretty shitty if in the end they just said to hell with the faulty joints and refused to fix them.... Quote
stclark04 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 I heard about that today. My truck falls under that too. Quote
Brooke Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 reminds me of a story my dad told me about when he worked for irving driving a truck when he was a teenager. his radio call to the station went something like this: "hey this is wally i may have a problem here." "go ahead wally, whats the problem?" "im in route to the station and my left rear tires just passed me" hahaha minor malfunction Quote
. Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) yeah, its supposedly with the 99's as well. Actually probably all the newer style models starting in 97. Problem is that they upper balljoints arent greasable and they wear prematurely. I saw a thing about it on a local news channel here about 6 months ago. Mine's a 99 and when I go over speedbumps and pulling forward out of a driveway from a sidewalk I hear a like a clunk popping type noise...... On a side note, ever since I saw the report I've been wearing my seatbelt They were showing all sorts of durangos and dakotas with front wheels missing. The one took everything with it, lower arm, drive axle etc etc. Edited December 10, 2004 by . Quote
jeffro189 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 only one thing i can think about dodge! Quote
locogato11283 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 they wont recall shit. it would be cheaper for them to just say fuck the recall and let themselves get sued. then theyll just pay off whoever gets injured. who was it back in the day that had the car that exploded when rear ended? they didnt recall anything, it was cheaper for them to just settle out of court with the victims.

We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed I guess. they wont recall shit. it would be cheaper for them to just say fuck the recall and let themselves get sued. then theyll just pay off whoever gets injured. who was it back in the day that had the car that exploded when rear ended? they didnt recall anything, it was cheaper for them to just settle out of court with the victims. 291650[/snapback] I doubt they do as well.

WickedBanshee Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 thats why you buy a chevy. Quote
Wallynut Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 Dodges may have more occurances of front wheels going their seperate ways,but they aren't the only ones. Just seen a Ford "Lightning" pickup that had lost it's right front. Only 2 years old with about 60,000 miles on it. Quote
