Damn, you must be going nuts. If not for Rubicat that is..
Over 2 Months and Still No Moby - Manual Transmission Woes
- Thread starter wayoflife
- Start date
not exactly but, maybe something along those lines.
No kidding. But, at this point and time, I think I just want him back so that I can think about other options. The last call I got, they were telling me how they were going to change out my u-joints free of charge to see if that was the problem before I had to remind them that I had a Pro Rock 60 with locking hubs and CTM u-joints and that they were NOT to touch any of that :shock: :naw:
Well, if it still isn't fixed, I'm thinking I shouldn't have to be charged full fair.

Wow! Sound like they are going to try and add blinker fluid next to see if that'll fix it. Good thing they called you BEFORE they decided to tinker with your 60's. Whew!
Actually, I was the one who called them. They told me that they had already done the work before I became alarmed. They then changed their tune and said that they meant to say that they were going to do the work as favor and that I had nothing to worry about. That's when I had to remind them that there is no way my front axle was the cause of the noise and that they were not to touch anything. These guys are nice and I like them but, I'm starting to think this is all over their head.

Sheesh. Keep us posted. I hope it all gets ironed out soon!

Not sure if this is the case where Moby is, but since autos became giant computers on wheels, the term mechanic only loosely applies. They generally rely on codes and IT systems to tell them what to fix. And when something does mechanically go wrong, old school mechanics have a harder time figuring things out with all the newer computer tech under the hood. Not to say there aren't diamonds in the rough or exceptions, but I've had past car dealers tell me as much.
In any case, hope you come to some sort of resolution and next steps soon. Sometimes the unknown wears on you more the known.

I wound't be surprised if they sell it as a non op and cut their losses.
:cheesy::cheesy:
Its not a computer issue at all so I don't think that applies.

I wasn't saying it was a computer issue, but in reference to WOL saying it was over their heads.
Well, I called and left a message with my service advisor saying that I just wanted to pick up my Jeep today regardless if it's fixed or not. He sent me an email saying that they tracked the noise they were hearing to my rear differential. I find it hard to believe but, they said that the R&P was setup poorly, had bad backlash and had bearings that were worn out. So, I told him to wrap things up and I would take my Jeep to Dynatrac to have them take care of it. Just waiting to hear back so that I can go get Moby out of there. :sigh:

Yeesh. Just hearing about all your troubles does not give me much confidence in the dealership's ability to work on vehicles. Hopefully you can get Moby out of there today. If it is in fact a rear diff issue, Im sure Dynatrac will get it sorted out. With all of the diffs they do and that being their specialty, I highly doubt your setup was installed incorrectly. Mistakes do happen though.. Good luck Eddie.. Hope this issue resolves soon!
If you can't walk my beat unarmed, maybe you should consider becoming a police officer.

Oh yeah, I find it hard to believe that it's the rear axle especially being that my problems only started after getting the new 2011 transmission installed. For it to suddenly go bad like that just isn't likely but, Dynatrac is a stand up company and I know they would be quick to fix things if in fact that's where the problem resides. Either way, I just want my Jeep back.

I hear ya on that! The 3 weeks it took for my lift to be installed killed me. The shop was way backed up. But 2 months.. I feel bad for you.. Im sure Dynatrac will get to the bottom of things though. How did Rubicat like Moab?

Re: Going on 2 Months and Still No Moby
sounds to me like they are just trying to put the blame on something that you had previously told them not to touch. basically taking it out of their hands since they have zero idea what the issue truly is. best you get him home and work on option 1a... good luck sir!

So when you find out its not the rear axle. Then what will the say?
Did they realize its not a factory axle?

I missed this post!! What a bunch of fucking idiots!
I hope they didn't fuck with your axle. Maybe it's missing the needles out if the CTM's!! Lol!

I second that! that's good way of looking at it, Moby will be back. You can always mount your go-pro under the jeep near the tranny and see what it can pick up:twocents:
If you need help let me know I just live around the corner.:yup:
Rubicat had a great time in Moab. Wheeling an auto with power on the slick rock is like cheating.
Could very well be the case but I trust that they have sincerely given it all that they could to find/fix the problem. Having said that, 2 months is more than enough time to do that and it's time to move on.
Yup, a manual and I'm sure they checked just about everything.
Honestly, I don't even know if I care. I just want our Jeep back.
