revive a dead thread.
My magnum (sxt) just went in for a recall on the radiator, and I'm having them look at the pulling again, since it was never fixed the first 3 times it was in the shop.

RE: Magnum front end issues
I just called the dealer this morning. I noticed on my test drive that it pulled to the right, hasn't gone away in 750 miles. Dealer had to call the local alignment shop to see when they could fit me in. Now that doesn't make me feel real confident that it will be fixed. I'm sure the local tire shop doesn't have the TSB on this to know what settings they need to be using to fix this.
Radiator recall?? I'm not getting any recall notices yet. Any idea where I can find the recalls on the web?

Out of curiousity. Has anyone heard of anyone with aftermarket rims and tires having this issue? Does it go away when you alter the tire size? Is it more prevalant on SXT vs. RT?

i've notice i get a popping sound when i turn the wheel 100% in one direction with my 22"s on. (i forget left or right). as for the pulling, can't say i've felt a difference with the alignment with the stocks or the 22s.

Just got my car back, they kept it overnight.
IT'S FIXED!!!! It has a SLIGHT right pull, but that's road crown as if I get on the left side of the road then it has slight left pull. And my steering wheel is straight! Whoooopieee!!!!!
However they forgot to fix my dangling sunroof weather stripping. They can't just put a new strip on, they had to order the whole part that the strip attaches to. Said it would be here next wednesday.
Gunn Dodge in San Antonio recently replaced almost all of their service staff, and I really like the new service manager and tech writer I got. They made sure I was happy with the car before they declared it 'done'.
Plus, this wouldn't have been covered under my warranty after 12,000 miles. I'm sitting at 13,000. But, because I'd been in multiple times ever since I bought the car for the same reason. The service manager said the dealership would pay for the repairs. Doesn't hurt that I also have a friend that works at that dealership and is friends with the new service manager
