So on Monday I dropped my 2014 Ram 1500 off at the dealership for some warranty work. My truck had developed the Hemi tick which would happen on a cold start for the first 20 seconds of idling, it would promptly go away after a very short amount of time. On Tuesday at Noon I gave the service rep a call to get an update, turns out their were a few broken studs on the exhaust manifolds which needed to be replaced and while we were on the phone he was told that the repair was going to be a more extensive repair then first thought because the technician while trying to remove the broken exhaust stud on the right side drilled through the cylinder head. Now today on Thursday I am being told that the new replacement head won't be delivered to the dealer for another three weeks, and there's a potential situation that they may choose to use used parts on my truck for the repair. I have a rental car which is being paid for by the warranty work so I have transportation, but this all just seems really odd. Have any of you experienced anything like this and is there anything that I should be on the lookout for?
