    I had Hunter come out and work on my 2015 ram 2500, he came out quick and diagnosed the problems. He has since been out a couple times to do some work for me and he is very knowledgeable and also reliable. He is a great tech and I wouldn't bother calling anyone else for my truck. Thanks Hunter for everything brotha.

     

    Thanks man! Appreciate everything!

    Not sure you have seen what is for sale out there and how they compare, I’m guessing not by your comment. 

    Work on em daily and deal with em daily. All makes and models of Diesels. Diesels are in the same wave as the 1st gen Tacomas were during Covid. Everyone thinks their silver costs the same as gold. A relative comparison is people asking 20K for 2nd gen Cummins, both pickups bluebook at 10–14k max in excellent condition with the highest level packages based off being in AZ. Given it’s at 165k it’s right on the bubble for multiple repairs and if it sits more days than driven that’s ground for even more issues. Getting sour over my comment shows me that you’re aware. Anyways, enjoy your weekend sir! Didn’t mean to rustle up any feathers! Good luck again on the sale, nice truck.

    So I got the new drag link adjuster from  steer smarts its $135  plus shipping  and is a direct  fit replacement  for the welded drag link adjuster . The carli level  kit is on order so that's new springs and shocks all 4 corners  and the adjustable  track bar to re center  the front  end after everything  is added. 

    The manager at Big O started  out as a a$$ and didn't  want to do anything  . Said he was being  nice about it just taking  a look at it . So I said I'm being  nice by calling  and coming in to get it fixed as I could  very  easy make a much bigger  deal outa it and take them to court. The truck was in the back about 3 minutes  later  and re- adjusted  . I'm sure given the  report  it's still  out of spec . But safe to drive till everything  is in and the level  kit is installed  and re- aligned .

    Here are some pictures  of how far the clamp was loose you can clearly  see where the nut was and how far I had to go to tighten it . Also the tires that only had just over 9k miles.

    Big O didn't  want  to cover the tires ! I'm working  on that with there regional  manager.  

    Discount tires was much better  as I took the truck right  over after big o and explained  everything  to the manager  and even though  he didn't  have to cover the replacement  due to a mechanical  issue  he did get me two new replacement  tires at half cost and had transferred  all the warranty  to the new ones.

  4. APEX Steering & Suspension. There Ball Joints, Rod Ends and DragLinks are the best fix I’ve found for the diesels, lifted or not.

    Local and Based out of Mesa. Phenomenal warranty, will warranty for a torn boot.

    Won’t go wrong with the Carli Track Bar, Swar Bar and Control Arms as well. I use em and install em quite often and hardly ever need to replace.

    Great young man! Did some work on truck last Friday. Came by today to check if all was good. Plan on using him again. Have a nice day. Whether you drew or not.

     

    Thank you! This is one of the guys I was talking about before the fiasco. If you get to work with Avion in the future, do so with confidence!

    And I'm sure there are at least a hundred other mechanics on here that could do the same. 

     

    Maybe they already have enough work...

     

     

    I’ll always give thanks, whether you’re having a good/bad day. This just happens to be the platform that’ll reach these individuals, and if they comment I can let others know they’re good people to work with.

    Anyways, still hope you enjoy your day man!

    Welcome to CWT...

    I see your very first post was a self-promotional advertisement.

    Maybe we should all come here just to promote our businesses instead of discussing hunting activities.

     

     

     

     

    Just trying to help folks from breaking down while on said hunting activities! Thanking the few who I have helped, but I hope you enjoy your day man.

    I'm looking  for a shop to do a 4 wheel alignment  on my ram 2500 4x4  . My wife  thought  it was a good  idea to have Big-0 do it. Needless  to say it's not right  and the steering  wheel  is off center  about 1/4to 1/2 turn . Yes it's usually  a simple  fix to adjust  the drag link to center  the wheel  but Ram in all there wisdom  thought  welding  the adjuster nuts to the adjuster was the answer  to the recall for the link coming  loose.

    The truck is a 2018 diesel  4x4

    I'm on the east side  of town  in Gilbert. 

    Really  don't  want  to take it to the stealership  for anything  that they would  plug into the computer  for the emissions  recall  for. They are doing  this as the trucks  come in for service. 

    The steering is a terrible design. APEX Steering for these Rams is the way to go.

    The weld must be grinder/cut on the jam nut for the adjusting tube to spin. Don’t take the truck back if a new tack isn’t on there and mark it with a paint marker to verify it was adjusted. Techs hate to do it and will lie about it being done.

    I've been watching your dad post for a while now about your venture and congrats! I'm down in Tucson so if you plan on scheduling anything this way, please let me know. I have a 2005 F 250 6.0 that needs a look through.

    Thank you! I don’t have anything scheduled to bring me down there but I have no problem doing so!


  11. To anyone who does read this and has gotten the notice for the recall, do not do it. It is a PCM program update that locks out anyone, including dealer software, from being able to make any adjustments to the programming of the unit. 
     

    If you’re tuned, deleted, have any upgraded fuel system parts, aftermarket turbos it can and likely will cause a large range of issues. Anything ‘23 & newer or coming from the dealer used will already have the update.

    Hope this helps someone before you’re pissed off.
