Well guys i have posted a couple recent posts about my jeep not running good, temp. fluctuations and seeing a puff of black smoke.....i just got the call and this is what they told me.... "your truck is burning oil, we need to do a complete engine tear down":( ouch!!! This thing is 2 months old, im heartbroken.......

Thats @ss! Sorry about that luck. If it makes you feel a little better, I came out last weekend and someone had backed into the front of my truck in a parking lot. Bumper is wrecked and of course the chip guard that I had it wrapped with.

that is bad i feel you bro .:mad:

Man i feel your pain sorry to hear that. They told me cause of how busy they are that they will need it for 3 weeks.........:(

I am sure my truck will be in the body shop for a week whenever I can get it in. Then I will be driving a Caravan. Nice...

That is terrible news. Make sure they explain exactly what happened to it. Mis-assembled, bad oil (unlikely) etc. There are reasons for these types of failures and can be diagnosed during disassembly. Let us know. Any chance they would just do a crate replacement? It IS almost brand new.

Thanks for the advice. i asked about a crate replacement.... they said they will see if i am qualified for one.....i have 7000 kilometers on it about 2 and a half months old....

Get the crate, you do not want most of those idiots rebuilding your current one.

Tell them to get the crate from Indy Cylinder Heads!:D:D

Wait a second. THAT'S your worst nightmare??? Man, you must be living a charmed life b/c my worst nightmare involves a lot of death and a prison rape scene. Oh, and the IRS, too.

im pushing hard for a new motor, time will only tell......they start the tear down in a week......

No wonder your dub air didn't work for you, your engine was ******

I know it sucks because its so new but atleast they found out and worse comes to worse start keeping records of down time on the SRT8 in NY its 30 days out of service a certain amount of times for the same repair and it becomes a lemon, check your states lemon laws.

Dont feel so bad I just had my drivers fender and door repainted, they did a top notch job but it still sucks and to be honest with you now im enjoying driving it alot more, im still anal but now ill almost take it anywhere, before I wouldnt use it if I knew I couldnt get parking etc.

Good luck and like I said start keeping a good paper trail, worse comes to worse you lemon it and get a new one.

sorry to hear that, i dont suppose you can talk your way into an SRT loaner...
