I talked with the manager of the Truck Design Studio today. We were
shootin the shit for a bit then I asked him if he knew why they derated the
towing capacity of the R/T. He said it is because after they lowered it they
never changed the pinion angle for the drive shaft, and when they were field
testing several new ones towing, they were breaking rear gears and shattering
universals. Personally, it sounds to me like they could fix that situation
pretty easily instead of derating the capacity. I mean, how many people
lower their vehicles and change the pinion angle? I think R/T owners and
maybe even Dak owners across the board should UNITE!!! Force DC into a
recall to fix the problem, not derate it. So, thats the jist of it. I went
on to tell him what group that I belong to and how the sister site, the R/T
list is considering a class action agains DC (us). He said he would
seriously dig up some more info for me and when I get it I will let you all
know. In the mean time!!!! Im going to get Mr. Stallkamps email addy for
you R/T owners! Sound ok?
