Where did you pick in SC?
I'm at the house putting a axle in the van.

Was in in Toledo,OH last week,for 3 warning light on in the instrument cluster and no cruise control(Mon.-Thur.) at the Dodge place and they started with a wheel sensor($106 for checking it out);order one for the next day($235.00 parts and labor)......went to put it in and they said it broke,so for a another($130.00) before they go any farther.......I said go ahead I need it fixed. 3Hours later the new sensor must be bad,order another but it's going to take 2 to 3 day's to get another....ok, get it..... 2.5 days get a call,it's here.
Put the second one in and the same problem.......so I ask if when taking the broken one out, if the mechanic might have hurt the pick-up in the axle....answered,no.

But to replace the pick-up,you have replace the axle....how much will that be ($791.00),so I said pull the axle and look and see if it's damaged,well they said that they would not pull it 'til a new was there(going to take 4 to 5 days to get one)So,I said put it together and I'll go home and fix it my self.

Well today(Thursday) got it almost back together and I can go back in-service tomorrow.
(And by the way,it looks like a drill bit ate into the pick-up). I won't be going back there!

Sorry to hear the bad luck on that repair.

It must be the week for bad repairs. We took ours in Tuesday to have the ac compressor changed, and the transmission fluid changed, since we hadnt had a chance to do it. The guy gave us back three quarts of fluid, and we had given him 8. It takes 8. We went back to find out he didnt drain the torque convertor so we had to have it done all again. Then the ac compressor that they put in cycles on and off every 5 seconds, literally. We just said whatever, we will take it to our dealership at home to fix it. Then they tried to screw us over on the price by a couple hundred dollars :/

Dropped load this moring in Franklin, GA. Picked another load in Gainesville, GA delivering in Dubuque, IA tomorrow after noon. This is the 4th load in 4 days. The whels haven't stopped more than 4 hours at a time in the past 3.5 days. Gotta love it!
Thanks dispatch!
