minus 30 here and have NOT had any problems, use 4 auto all the time in winter.

When a Canadian says he uses 4 Auto "all the time in winter" it give me confidence in the 44-44 that is so hated.

Mine has served me well, also.

A couple hundred bucks, cheap enough. And, it was rodents, not Mopar's fault.

All's well.

Warranty inspector showed up finally yesterday, but have to wait for the "official" OK before warranty will cover it. They better get their act together as it's been a week. Good thing is the Service Advisor went ahead and ordered all the parts so they will be here once they get approval.

Been there! Totally helpless feeling at the bottom of a creek with a boulder against a front tire and over 45* incline both ways.

Oh man. Glad everyone was ok!

Warranty claim denied due to having the Bilstein 5100's on the truck causing extreme CV angles...… what a crock of ****!!!

That is total BS. Ram used to sell a Leveling Kit that was pretty much the same thing!

I know, that was my argument, they sold the same setup with the 5100’s just like what I have installed. But no, it couldn’t be the crappy designed front end with the c clips that break......

 

[Ricks Ram]

That's total Horse****. The 5100 shocks don't let the A arms travel past the factory parameters so the CV joints shouldn't move past their designed limits. This is why Ram sold them and why we use them as well! Yes they are at more of an angle after the truck is leveled but not enough to cause any issues.

My brother had rodents issue with his vehicle. He installed some gadget that gives them a headache. Reduces their mood, I think.

I use these as well and they seem to actually work. I got them from Amazon. You can get them powered by two D cell batteries or you can get them to wire directly to the car battery. They have random flashing strobe lights and audible sounds to annoy rodents. They may come in and look but they won't stick around.

Unfortunately I can't post a links for some reason. Not sure if it's me or the phone but it won't do it. They make several different ones but these are pics of the ones I bought. It's been about three months and so far the Rats haven't come back. I installed the type that just wires to the car battery on 5 cars and also bought the type that's powered by the D cell batteries for the cars that are in storage with no place to plug in a Battery Tender. I have my vehicles stored in the country while our house is being built and I can see their little foot prints in the dirt and there was Rat poop all over the engine in two of my cars within a few weeks. After I installed the devices they would come in and look but you could tell by the foot prints left they didn't stay long. Now after having them installed for a few months I rarely see a print anywhere near the cars. They don't like the ultrasonic sound and random LED strobe lights. It's like trying to sleep with a rock band in your bedroom to them.

Well FCA put a full restriction on my truck!!! I took it in today to have a noise diagnosed and it’s the lower control arm ball joint. Would having 5100’s on my truck cause damage to the lower ball joint???

on the phone now with the warranty people, better refund me some money if they are gonna basically void the complete warranty. Lady on the phone said the contract says if you modi the vehicle then the whole contract is void!!!
