Sorry to hear, luckily you should get hooked up from the warranty. I know that split second feeling when it happens is absolutely horrible, its like accidentally taking a drink from your spitter and realizing a second too late.
that does suck doesn't it

no only replaces factory parts that came off the truck unless they are proven to be an issue (valve springs). even the rear ends that blow out and cost 5grand are replaced with the same ones

seems to be hit or miss. im at 75,000miles and not one hicup and im not nice on the truck at all. i do stay away from second prime though. shardon has stated that this will blow your trans eventually or if your running 350whp or around there. others have made it way pat 100,000 while some have blown them at 90,000 or so.

how bout some symptoms of when it blew???? how were you driving ? what speed, wot? what gear and service every 30,000?

this is all why i don't like auto's it's like you can buy a manual from the factory and it's reliable. or you can get an automatic and basically plan on sometime having to either replace/rebuild/upgrade it. I'd rather get reliability from the factory.

well i drive mine like i stole it but go figure the one time i am not it blows damn i wish they did put a 5spd in the hemi but i couldnt find one and they told me in the 1500 you couldnt get them so i was thinkin an aftermarket would work but its under warranty still so i guess ill go with they give me only i think i am gonna have mine rebuilt instead of replaced with the warranty and have built stronger than what it was normally so i am hoping just waiting to hear back
