Well to continue a post that I had put up Friday.
Took AV in to dealer to get Front End Aligned.
While there at 2700 on clock so had them do OIL Change. While truck on lift they see oil coming from front diff. The 4WD is not working. They said that Front Diff needed to be replaced and that I could have it back monday afternoon.
The dealership gave me a big runaround...
Friday they said it was Front Diff and that they would order parts be back on monday to pick it up. Did not take a rental as had other trasnportation for weekend.
Today go into dealership. AV is jacked up, and they have computer Etc.. hooked up to it.
Service tech hands me a jar and says smell. I do, and It is horrendous.
Turns out that Front Diff story was B.S. The Transfer case basically imploded. 2989 on the clock and no 4WD.
The service manager starts giving me hell and says stuff about abuse and hard on vehicles. Then they try and give me a GRAND-AM. I am 6'1" and I said not no but hell no. They say how it is $15 mor for a truck. I tell salesman that maybe next time I will buy a ford.
Owner of dealership hears this and offers a Dodge Durango Rental at no charge. I took that.
They are going to pull Transfer case and call me to look at it. I am going to take pics when they do and will post them.
Beginning to regret buying an Avalanche.
