Had the truck in for regular service at my local 5 star dealer and as they were handing me the keys they started listing all that they had done; kinda went like ... inspected this, changed that, blah, blah, performed the ABS reflash, blah, blah, rotated the tires, blah, blah. "Whoa" says me you did what to the tires ?

Sure enough the fat rims were on the front. They changed them back no problems but I was amazed (shocked really) that it happened in the first place. Now I have the same size rubber on all four corners for the winter which may have thrown them off, but c'mon ...

Now THATS scarey. I just ran out and checked mine, since I just had it in for the reflash LOL!

what's the ABS re-flash supposed to fix? is there a problem with the original?

They put 5W-20 dino oil in the crankcase with the last oil change, and also left silicone caulk on the window/front bumper, and driver's inside door panel when they did the wind-noise TSB. When I pointed this out, they told me that that was their very best mechanic working on my Jeep! Are we using the same 5 star dealer by chance?

Apparently the original "will cause rear wheel lock-up under certain braking conditions"

I was told by my girlfriend (who is the service writeup girl at my local dealership) that it only effected a small number of SRT-8's, so unless you recieved a specific notice in the mail there is no need to worry.

Weird ... I didn't recieve a notice but they picked it off when they ran my VIN

You will be getting a notice in the mail then, It's on it's way I'm sure. You just caught it early.

I'll be bringing a lawn chair & camp out beside the truck next time (if there is a next time that is) they work on it

I received the letter for the abs fix, was done when I brought it in for oil change,I get two free oil changes per calender year.I guess everything is good with the abs,now let them fix the brake noise,rear end whine or transfer case whine and everything else we bring to there attention,maybe one day we will all be happy campers with our dealers.:rolleyes:

To try and help me feel happy with them they gave me a complimentary travel mug ... a super bee travel mug; DUOH !!

Where are you located so I can avoid that dealer like the plague

In Orangeville.

I just received my first oil change and noticed the Super-Bee travel mug giveaway. I asked where my Jeep SRT8 mug was and there wasn't one. :(

I went through the quick lube side and made sure all they did was the oil change. 0W40 Mobil 1 and $140 Cdn later I was out the door. Brought it in dirty as well so I could see if there were an rub marks I didn't come in with. They passed that test.

If I had more time I might have had them check the passenger door speaker rattle, but I didn't have time. When I ask for specific things like that I will be standing right beside the truck, or I am not keen on them doing it.

The tech put all that air I had removed back in when I was there for my first oil service last week. :mad:
