I'm exstatic

I have the 70 mph driveline vibration.

Brand new truck. I hate having to arrange alternative transportation when they go in for service. Getting a loaner car is always an iffy.

Today I stopped by my dealer and talked to the service manager about bringing it in. He said no car unless I have some type of service contract or VIP service plan.

I was bummed.

Got home and opened the mail.
Low and behold... a 3/36,000 $30 a day allowance contract!!!!!

The envelope said thank you for purchasing this contract. I didn't pay for any service contract. Is this something everybody gets? A promotion?

Anyway.. nice to be able to simply drop off the truck knowing they will always have a car for me!

My 2004 had the vibration around 70 mph and 2000 rpms, but it ended up being the power steering hose (there's a TSB for it). Took them about 25 minutes to put the new hoses with the weight on and it took care of the vibration. I enjoy the ride much better now. Hope yours gets fixed right the first time.

By the way, how do you think the Dodge rides compared to the Dmax? I had heard the Chevy 4x4 ride was much better than the Dodge, but I've got to say I disagree. I think the Dodge rides nicer than my Dmax did.

My truck already has the tranny line fix and the power steering hose fix done.

I think the DMax had a sportier ride. This truck rides about the same but not as nimble around winding backroads. I think IFS beats SFA in that respect.

This ain't no sports car and I don't expect it to act like one. It has a nice ride overall.
