Just did the free oil change, and had them fix the loose fender (bed)...
I complained about the popping noise too, and they acted like I was smoking
CRACK or something. Give them hell... I plan on going back on Saturday,
with my LOUD exhaust (on my '95) and ask to talk to the service manager,
and get it resolved (TSB's on '99 R/T's, only '98 R/T's for the bed bolts.)
I tried to explain that the '99 is exactly the same (problem), and they
should look
into it (cause it ain't '99 yet, so I don't want to leave it until NEXT YEAR
to get
fixed correctly...and under warranty), but didn't want to wait another day,
as they
NEVER can reproduce a weird sound.. Never. If I can't get it resolved on my
next
visit, then it will be 'Bye Bye Kearny Mesa Dodge-- Once again, and I'll try
Carl Burger...'
Drive your truck, that'll put 3- RT's there......
Sam '95 SLT
