Ok, so I got a letter in the mail yesterday that my two year registration was up. So I took it this morning thinking, if any minor thing failed, I would have time to fix it (I have 60 days till the registration is up). I wasn't expecting the things he did fail me for though...
UNSAT 1: E-brake pulling too hard to the left...Brand new brakes on all 4 corners done by the Dodge Dealership.
UNSAT 2: Worn shocks....Not leaking, but he said they need to be replaced..I don't know how he knows as there was no test to them up and down wise...just a machine that shakes it left and right.
UNSAT 3:Oil leak near the front of the motor.....Didn't notice any oil leak when I changed the oil last month....


Any advice on fixes?

 

So I priced out shocks....For about 50-70 dollars more I can get the Rough Country 3 inch lift....oh the wifey will be happy about that (sarcastic laugh)

 

on oil leak, check the torque on the bolts attaching the oil pan to the block. These bolts lose torque easily.

 

what should they be torqued to?

 

check in the service manual, all torque specs are there.

 

I would, but I don't have one....

 

You can download a free copy in the DIY section.

 

Or look up weedaho, he has links to the manuals in his signature.

 

If the brakes were just done, go back and see if they will adjust. The shocks are an easy and obvious fix - just replace them (i am happy with my rough countries). On the oil leak, they couldnt give you a more precise location than "near the front of the motor"? Cant fix it until you know where it is.

 

Dang and i thought emissions was the devil down here in Texas but it seems the put yalls trucks through everything far and in between.
How is your E Brake pulling to the left?
