well the last 2 days have been a pita with r/t. I had some tires put on a little over a week ago and i noticed a little vibration a few days afterwards. So i figured i slung a wheel weight no biggie i take it back up there and get it checked out and they find out i have a bad upper ball joint. When i mean bad like almost broken down sitting on the side of the road. I replaced that yesterday afternoon and planned on having it aligned today but as luck would have it they are booked up today. I noticed my exhaust rattling a little bit under my truck so i jack it up and take a look and i find a brace it a little loose and rattling so i pulled on it. Needless to say i pulled a little hard and now i have a hole in the pipe the size of a dime which is kind of a pita. So i figure what the hell i call the exhaust guy to see if i can get it taken care of and needless to say he was booked up today also. Sorry for the rant

slvr03dakrt, you do know that 02's were recalled for upper balljoints? I *think*
two wheel drive was included. I'm 100% sure 4X4's were.

I sure hope yours are not recall replacements and they went bad too! ;(

well i dunno the dealer won't even touch my truck anymore bc they voided my warranty and they told me to never bring it to them again.

It's a recall, they can't refuse or you can sue them.
