RE: I'm the Dodge front end guy
I heard about the Durango ball joint problem and took mine in for service under the extended warranty('98 4x4). The dealer changed out the upper BJ on each side. Dothe lowers fail also??? I am wondering why they didn't change out the lowers????

RE: I'm the Dodge front end guy
Well that sucks, because the local chevy dealership said that if you wanted to put a supercharger on a new Chev Truck, as long as THEY installed it (for the 70 bucks an hour) they would work around it. Only thing they wouldnt cover is if you blow the motor, but tranny problems they would still work with, same with rear end and so on. Damnit, and I got the extended warranty. 
Better race for money so when I blow it up I got some spare cash! OR maybe I should go get a new SS... At least they will work around the supercharger.

Dodge does not offer a supercharger (Yet) so it would be an aftermarket mod!!!

RE: I'm the Dodge front end guy
Why is the warranty voided on Naturally Aspirated vehicles but others come from the factory with Superchargers or Turbochargers? What makes an aftermarket Super or Turbo so much worse? There was also talk of Kenne Bell doing a deal with Chrysler, would that change anything?

RE: I'm the Dodge front end guy
Because the forced induction engines are built with that factor in mind, it's built for it. The N/A engines are built differently to produce the power in a different way, usually with higher compression, where the forced induction engines are lower compression(until they are boosting that is).[sm=smiley2.gif]

Buddy I sure could use your help my 96 ram 2wd really needs new ball joints the front end sounds like 50 squeaky doors in a haunted mansion, What kind of press will I need to replace these ball joints and can it be done without a coil spring compresssor, I am a fairly competent shade tree with lots of tools and a huge compressor.
