New truck dealer problem

Whats the name of shop that did or tryed to seal the axel?

 

30 minutes with some cleaner and a pressure washer would have had a much better looking job.

Add it to the growing list of 'couldn't give a *%@#" service providers.

 

Sounds like an issue for the regional rep. And I don't believe that baloney about the driver and the axles. I didn't think they did anything but deliver the trucks, at least the guys I talked to, and the dealer took them down and got them ready.

 

PDI on a new truck should take 3.5-4.5 hours. Multi-page check list. But that is pretty common on trucks decked in. I like mine with a thousand or so miles on it. Anything that made it off the line will have rattled loose by then. I get the shakes when a new one comes to me with 30-40 miles on it.

 

I had to reinstall axles and undeck many times when I ran decksets. That said... its STILL the dealership's responsibility to prep the truck. I bet they check fluids and not just trust the factory.

 

Hi Keith, the only reason I say that, is I inquired about a job hauling tractors, and I asked if I was responsible for breaking them down, and they said no, just get the unit to the dealer, and grab a taxi to the airport. I think it may have been a legal issue. Maybe other places are different, but that's what they told me. It paid peanuts, so I didn't take it, plus dealing with airports all the time, no thanks.

 

Hi bucksnort, I bet that's exactly what happened to you. Besides, aren't the front tires, and stacks ( if so equipped) removed as well? What, are you supposed to bolt them on too right away?
