I took the Ram in for a oil change today and the technician comes and tells me that I have a pinhole in my Radiator and a frontcrank seal leak. then he tells me that he wants to charge me $475 for the radiator to be replaced and $265 to fix the oil seal! I think he thought because im a woman that I didnt know it wouldnt REALLY cost that much to fix my truck. well the jokes on him!:flipthebird: I found a new radiator for $122.00 and the oil seal is $ 11.00. Im going to fix it myself.LOL

Their shipping is WAYYYYY fast...I ordered a rad from them for my buddies Jeep on a Tuesday and it was at my house on Thursday morning. I wonder what part of the charges on the rad were for coolant. I havent priced coolant in so long, since we make it here at work and I get it for free. But I looked on Autozones website and about shat my pants to see it up to like $13 a gallon.

During hard times the shops get a little carried away with finding problems. Had mine on a rack and turned around and the guy says you know you have a axle seal leaking. I was a little concerned as I just had axle seals recently installed and thought maybe one had been damaged during the install. Got to looking at it and it was apparent he had squirted the axle. Called the manager over and had a talk with him as they lowered my truck for me to leave. Trust no one...
