I know years ago when crew cabs were just work trucks my dad had ordered a Dodge and was going to pull a 5th wheeler with it. From day 1 it had a drivetrain vibration. They rebalanced the wheels, replaced torque converter, new rods and mains, rebalanced driveshaft, new u joints. Come to find out it was a bad pinion bearing and the way they found that was when my dad ordered it he wanted a specific gear set and they told him it wasn't available. My cousin worked at a Dodge dealership about 100 miles from where we lived and he was talking to dad and said hey, I got that gear set laying up here in the shop, bring it up and I'll change it out. When they found the bad pinion bearing all dad had to pay for was the gear set, labor covered under warranty.No. Your right. I posted the status as of this morning on one of the other many threads on this issue. 7 months of demonstrating the leak and replacing exhaust parts that they suspect are leaking is frustrating. But got to gut it out. I do not want to replace it with a 2019, replace it with a "similar" 2018 or get my money back. They have a technical advisor coming in this week or next. The service manager is solid, but they get no help from FCA or Ram regarding what we and the rest of the Ram world has come to know is the problem. I believe the tech will tell them, replace the exhaust headers and FCA will cover the additional warranty time.
