Princess v2 headed to the dealer.......

0212353 · Apr 3, 2011

Its overdue, I've been hearing a noise from the back end for a while now. Nothing crazy, I honestly didn't think much of it until the wife got in the truck a few weeks ago and said something.

Last week, driving up to Dave's place (about 250 miles round trip) - I was on the phone with my Dad, he could hear it as I was merging on the highway. Trip wasn't bad, didn't get any louder or anything. This week though........it started vibrating around 35-40 MPH. All from the rear end.

So, she's going in Tuesday morning. I had to wait until I had a vehicle available for me (my old Exploder - my Dad owns it now), as I don't get a rental car........lame.

Hope its something simple that they can fix on Tuesday! Going to be weird........I haven't been without a truck since I got my 08 back in April 2008. Only had 1 issue with that one (at 10K, outer tie rod end was replaced), its going to be VERY weird driving my old ploder! :killer:

Well that's lame....Hope it's nothing hard core.

me too.......but its covered under warranty - so thats good.

By the way, 6,600 miles on the truck. Purchased on 4/19/2010.

Dang JJ keep us in the loop. Im wondering if the lashing on the gears were wrong from the factory and finialy started to show up.

warranty for the win! I know what you mean...Purchased my truck Sept 24 of last year with 19,000 miles and I'm sitting at 43,200 as of today

0212353 · Apr 3, 2011

Oh, I'll update the thread!

I don't get a lot of highway miles on the truck - most trips are less than 10 miles total and speeds below 40.........

sounds about like the average for mine. I love warranties when you've got a decent dealership around to do the work

uh oh, hope v2 gets better soon

0212353 · Apr 3, 2011

Honestly...........I don't know if they are decent or not! I guess thats kind of a good thing?

Since May 07 we have bought 4 brand new vehicles. The 07 Grand Caravan we had, went into the shop 2x, minor crap. My 08, mentioned above. Those were all at the dealer right down the street. I HATE how long it takes them to check in a vehicle...........30 minutes. F that, just drop it and GO. I took the truck to another dealer (about 10 mins away) to do the keys when I got my alarm........they seemed pretty good - so they are getting the work.

(my '10 town & country hasn't been in the shop yet - other than oil changes)

So.....been lucky!

well.........

There's a Ford in the garage now.

ramhunter9 · Apr 5, 2011

hope you took the SC tune out of her or they will pin it on you !!

0212353 · Apr 5, 2011

yup, I took the tune off last night.

I got a call from the dealer this afternoon - they were going to rip into her rear end and see if its the carrier bearing. I just want my truck back..........there's a reason I sold my old Exploder (to my dad).......and I don't like seeing that thing in my garage, worse yet.......driving it.

I went to hop on the highway tonight and I just about got ran over. Stupid 200HP..........gimme my 400 back NOW!

And you believed that? :roflsquared:

I do drive mine hard and haven't had any issues. Changed the diff fluid at 15k and now have 33k on it.

I have ridden with JJ and I can say for a fact that the princess is exactly a princess. I couldn't even tell half the time that he was even pushing on the go pedal. Come on GRANDPA!!!! lmao. Hope to find out what went bad.

Demon-HeMi · Apr 6, 2011

man jeremy, watch that dealer, they will say your custom headlights caused the rearend to fail, lol j/p, but they do look for any reason to void a warranty, anxiously waiting to see what this was though
