Well at least it sounds like they are going to be through this time. More than likely the head honcho's gave them the green light to spend as much time on it as they wish and I guess the dealer is billing them.

Yeah .... open checkbook? You'll get it done right this time.

Take the new ride and move on. You can pour a lot of $ugar on it, but its still a lemon.

Can't be any worse than what I'm going through now.[sm=signs006.gif]

Don't have a lot of choice at this point. Getting what I want on the lot or close is gonna be hit or miss.

Cumminalong,

Hey buddy, I really think its past time to cut bait on that truck. I understand that you got her how you want her, but I don't think ANY vehicle is worth all this BS.

I would say go for a 3500 SRW 4x4 with a 6.7L and the new Auto Tranny, then make them throw in a 100,000 bumper to bumper. How could the 6.7 have more gremlins that what you are experiencing now? Plus then you can make fun of all us stone age 5.9 users!

Seriously man, just shoot the horse and get yourself a new stallion.

Is that what i think in that link cumminalong a diesel powerwagon. droollling over that right nowwwwww. I think the 6.7L will be just fine in fact it just might be theone I end up ordering not sure though. Plus the 6.7L is really similar to the 5.9 just upscaled a wee bit.

No, no Power Wagon. Ain't no way in hell I'd pay what they ask for a Power Wagon. You'd spend 17K on 7K worth of parts.

I'd do it myself (again) if i was gonna build to that level. Just as an example, this is my last little work of art. Ain't a Power Wagon on the planet that was this built:

ARB lockers front and rear
4.56 gears
6" Skyjacker
compressor
Premier Welder
MX6 shocks
36" TSL's
Mile Marker Stainless hubs
Bed mount spare
Front receiver

And this only ran me $7200 to do. When you can do the labor yourself, the prices ain't bad.
