So i had some work done
So i brought my 94 Dodge Ram in for a complete overhaul in August.. well
they did that. block was dipped / bathed honed and all. new pistons, rods,
bearings and the crank was balanced and all. Well i drive the truck off the
lot the oil pressure blipped and i immediately brought the truck back. and
they said it was the oil filter. so they put a new one on and things were
fixed. So its now november and i go to tow my brothers car from his school
up here.. and im driving and no blips on the pressure gauge or the idiot light
and i hear a LOUD boom. well i put rods #2, #4, #7 thru the block. well i tow
it back up to the garage, and they say they had nothing to do with it and will
not warranty anything. even tho im in there 4 month / 4k mile work warranty..
What do u think should happen?

Re: So i had some work done
you should take and get ur vehicle fixed by another shop make them write in writing what was exactly wrong with ur truck then take them to small claims court it cost like $30 and sue them for how much it cost you to get your truck fixed and a refund of how much you paid them to fix your truck in the first place

Re: So i had some work done
Update on what is happenning..
they are saying that a foreign body has gotten inside the block and must have gotten in between the bearings and made them walk.. and this they are not responsible for..
