I've been off the boards for a while but wanted to get the mass opinion on this.
I'm pretty sure I have a bad rod or rod bearing.
Mt truck is a 2015 1500 Sport that I factory ordered, It has every available upgrade including 3.92 gears. It's been on a BDS lift with 35's and a Vararam intake and FM S40 exhaust with resonators removed since it was two weeks old. I added a second battery, catch can, and a plethora of cosmetic goodies but never tuned it because I was waiting for the cost of the Diablo tuners to come down. Current mileage is 36K.
The question is do I let the dealer take a crack at it under the powertrain warranty knowing it's a 50/50 shot or do I dig into myself and build it up in the process. I don't have a stack of cash lying around but could afford a decent rebuild.
What do you think?
