Ripped of AGAIN
« on: August 06, 2017, 05:08:47 PM »
Driving my new GMC 2500 Saturday, couldn't turn to the right, steering wheel turned 8 inches before wheels would turn. This will be the second time in the shop for same issue, only has 32000 on it. :bash:

Got the mail last night after our trip, propane companies bill in there. $3.89 per gallon.
Going to find my own tank this week, if I have a truck.

They had to rebuild the steering box again, added some loctite to a nut that keeps coming loose.

I have a 99 Cummins for farm use, 276000 miles on it, have never once experienced the Dodge death wobble. But right after I bought it I replaced all the ball joints and any other worn steering components with Moog. Also had a bit of play in the steering box I couldn’t get adjusted out, so aftermarket there.

Haven’t had to do that, I looked at em but the aftermarket steering box took care of it. I’d rather drive my cummins at 80mph on the toll road than the Liberty.

I can remember my father having a fit the first time it got anywhere close to .70 cents/gallon, but we were drying corn with LP then and would buy a semi load at a time.
