The headlight bulb wiring was caused by you drinking a sweet tea before you touched it more than likely. Would have to be some kind of strange stuff like that.
Even back in the late 70s when I worked at a Ford Dealership some of the things the " factory service guys" could come up with to explain why they wouldn't pay was just unbelievable.
So then of course we'd have to try and come up with something to explain to the customer why its wasn't covered. Good customers we'd run through and make something up so it would be taken care of. My job was the "creative" writing part. :roll:

By the way on mine, I've had a very slight strange vibration on full throttle take off for two years or more, ( between 4200 and 5500 RPM) nothing bad just could feel it a little bit in the seat. New u-joints etc were tried but nothing worked . Guess what new tranny took care of it :wink:

I pulled the intake off my Liberty CRD today. Just what I expected. Several broken rockers. Just made a large order with ID Parts. I'd like to get this thing back together asap. Since it decided to brake all this crap the day after I bought it. What a great first impression this thing has left on me and my family. I guess it can only get better! Lets hope!

New front and side doors will be installed on Wednesday according to my contractor!

Can you say increased curb appeal?

These new doors should increase the value of my home by at least $5000! Oh wait, it isn't 2003 anymore. $250 lol

My contractor has been my buddy since HS btw...

He WILL be over on Wednesday to help me tear this place down and start new.

See guys? I don't care what others have to say after all! :lol:

And I took a little tour of the city... maybe my neighborhood doesn't look so bad after all.

OH BTW: Thankfully I had my paper trail because the police were asking me what I was doing there today. Oops. I told them the story about my realtor and had the purchasing orders with me and they let me go about my merry ways.

I told them when I was going to close and had my realtor's number in my phone, and told them I was a great asset to the city and the plans I had for the place.

Thats too bad it happened right away BUT then now you'll know what all has been done/how it was done and it should give you a lot of miles!
Good luck with the repairs

anybody ever installed a garage door opener themselves? I think the motor in mine is dying. I have no idea how old it is, it was here when we moved in. Just wondered how hard a new one would be to install..

I'd look at a new motor first, unless the cost is close to a new opener. :2cents:

Pretty easy to do, especially if there is one there already
Go for one of the new belt drives , smooth, quiet

I have an appointment with Klaben on Tuesday. Now I wish I'd bought it there. I bought a couple trucks from them in the past and their service is second to none. Besides, y cousin and her husband work there. Fred Martin is where I've been going lately because they're just up the street. They started off very good but they've slipped recently. I ratted them out to Chrysler already and they opened a case for me so it could be taken care of. I'd like to see the service advisor and mechanic pulled in the carpet, this has been going on for 15000 miles. Dealing with a mechanic that decides what's wrong before looking is exhausting. I had one of my headlight sockets fail and they tried to blame it on my "aftermarket" bulbs, even though they were the same wattage.

That's who I was going to suggest...

I've been doing commercials for Klaben since 1981 and for Kent Lincoln Mercury since '82 up till Ford got rid of the Mercury brand. I have a great relationship with Rich Klaben and Bruce Caudill who oversees everything having to do with customer service whether it's in sales, parts or service. They asked me to be a "secret shopper" in the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep service department about 18 months ago - they weren't happy with what I experienced even though it was not terrible by any means. Their standards are just very high.

I think my dad knew Al somehow. My cousin works in HR I think and her husband sells fords. Yea, I got a little flack when I went to Martin but they're very close to my house and they really were a good company until recently. They used to be worse than Rick Case back in the day and I think they may be going back to that. Back to Klaben I go, I'm sorry I left. Maybe they'll do a little extra since I'm going back but I really feel this is a warranty issue. Apparently Chrysler thinks so too, they opened a case file over the phone.
