2022 Level 3 White Wagon Build

[Polock]

Haha. You are correct. I have yet to see yer truck rolling around. There are two other wagons in the neighborhood besides ours then. A gray 18 and a delmonico red 18. Or 17. Not sure on the years.

Also apparently the Toyos are ten lbs heavier than my Coopers. That probably explains a bit of the sluggishness

Yeah, I don't spend much time in town when I'm in the area. I'm on Black Bay close to visitors center. Snowmobile season was awesome up there this year!

 

[thkbaron]

Yeah I'm sick and tired of it. At least it's close to 50 today. All I do is clear snow at my place and at my hunting shack (kids call it a cabin because we have water in front of it) down southwest of orr. It was a bit much this year.

 

[thkbaron]

that would drive me nuts. No way it should be so misaligned. Should be an easy fix for the dealer's body shop. I would not try and do it myself incase there really is an issue with the hinges etc. and then they try and blame it on the owner.

I'm going down to the area I bought my truck in another month to get my Indian dyno'd so I'll make an appointment then to dump the break in oil and have them check that out. I'll grab my 35 inch spare at the time.

 

[thkbaron]

Well the drama continues. I mean how much should one have to inspect crap before you take it home. They scratched every wheel. Forget nice day to look at it. I wonder if I should stop looking.

 

[retired]

yup that is what happens when the the tire changer does not know how to change tires. modern tire machines and experienced tire guys don't touch the wheel at all.

 

[thkbaron]

We will see how this turns out

 

[thkbaron]

Should I say screw it and get a big check and call it a day?

well they will get scratched up if you take it off road. I know everybody wants to put their own scratches on stuff but I doubt after a week you would notice so see what they will do for you.

 

[thkbaron]

That was kind of my theory. You can’t see them from more than 10 feet away

 

[thkbaron]

Also is this what everyone has for a vent on their front axle? The vent for my rear axle is still a tube that goes up high but I was surprised to see the Short thing with a little cap on it for the front.

 

[retired]

yup same as my 2020. needs to be raised if playing in the water. it is a one way valve but I don't trust it.

 

[thkbaron]

Yeah me neither. I’ll prob snag the vent from the 18 and earlier model. Or save money and get a longer tube. Haha

 

[thkbaron]

Well they want to keep my truck for a week. Get me a rental and "repair" the wheels. I told them that was a hard no. They aren't willing to purchase 4 new ones. I suggested they cover the cost of my spare setup. Tire, wheel, sensor, and balance. Toss in a couple cases of oil. One for the Durango and one for the Ram and call it good. Plus address my other concerns at the time of the appointment. I personally think they are getting off cheaper with my offer.

When i worked at a tire shop, we had older machines that would touch the wheel if you didn't position it right. In the defense of the installer, some dealerships rush their employees and give them way to much to do. I have heard from first hand experience. I don't understand how they are gonna repair it. You gave them a way better deal. Good luck dealing with them. I probably wouldn't go back there again.

 

[thkbaron]

Yeah it was their best guy lol and he took three hours. In hind site I’ll just get my stuff done at a tire shop. Honestly I should just ask for four new wheels.

 

[Xyleff]

Hey sorry to ask but if you don’t mind, whenever you’re able, can you get pictures of the rear. Just wanna see how those mud flaps look from the rear angle lol. If not, no worries.
