Got the paperwork in the mail yesterday.

My 89 pickup has a steering rod issue. They say the rod can stress crack and break.

Is a 4 hr. fix and they say to just set up an appt and any sealer will do it.

They also said if it had already been done to send in the paperwork for reimbursement.

 

Ooook, So wtf is this thread for.

We know about the recalll..?

 

Jesus Scoob, little angry this morning?


gregs just be sure not to let the dealer tell you that they have to fix all kinds of other stuff once they get it in there. Some folks on here have had some serious issues getting the truck back after the "free" steering rod replacement.

 

ok. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Someone had to say it. There's a sticky and a billion threads on this already. Plus this post is pretty pointless and contains ZERO tech whatsoever.

 

thanks Greg for the post....I forgot about this recall. Need to give the dealer a call to see if mine was already replaced!

 

some of us don't live here and read the millions of post. Sorry I have a life

 

when you go, if you want to get you t-bars cranked, then ask them to do that while they are there since they are gonna give you a FREE 4 wheel alignment...

 

I have a life too, It involves working, School, Girls, Wheeling, Wrenching, Eating lots of grilled cheese samiches...

Anything else you'd like to pop off about ?

 

 

No need to go there, it just so happens that the rules of the forum state that we as users here are all expected to do a search for a thread or conversation on the subject on your own before starting a new one. There are many threads on this very subject that simply by reading and adding your own brief and marginally informative post, you bump up to the top of the list, being just as effective in sharing the information with other casual browsers. Maybe you didnt need to be 'd so hard for it, but are indeed required to do at least that much to try and answer our own questions. As far as the 'I have a life' bit,

 

Man, I thought I was on the Pirate forum for a minute. I didn't about the recall, so thanks for bringing it up.

I guess the tech would be the cracking and failure of the steering rod, and it takes 4 hours to replace.

 

some of you sound like a buncha school girls. Whaaaa Whaa.

the recall was new to me. I got the notification 2-3 days ago.

Thanks to the rest of you.

 

haha... this recall is open on all 3 of my yotas... I'm just waiting till the tierods lossen up so they replace those too... dealer told me they would do the relay rod, and if tierodsw were bad, those would be included, plus alignment....

 

dont mind scoob, he just needs a nap
