$5,600 to fix my 4x4
 

I got my f150 for Xmas from my aunt couple weeks ago, and when I went to try out the 4x4 I noticed it didn't work. Well it's been in shop for past couple days an it's finally ready tomorrow. Cost 5,600 to fix both axles and couple other parts. Truck has warranty, so I didn't have to pay a dime, but I do have to take an hour long drive to pick it up. I'll take some pics tomorrow of the invoice to show you guys what the problem was.

Be easy on your 4x4 guys.......... My bill of $5,600 is insane! I don't wanna see y'all have to go through this.

Wow...I need to get some work done on my 4x4...low works but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it on and off. Hi doesn't work but i have the old style part under the hood with out the hat to block water...I am holing that is it for the high. that just sounds so high but i have no idea what that kinda work should cost.

What all did they do??

Deff would like to know exactly what they did

$5600 :eek: glad it was under warranty, that'd have been my excuse to rip out the IFS and put a solid axle up front if it had to be out of pocket

They must have replaced the whole front diff assembly for that cost!

Yeah to me (and I know nothing about the cost) it seems for that you should have a new trans and 4x4 system lol. Maybe they poured on the price since they new it was covered by someone else. Or maybe I have no clue what it cost lol

Well guys the shop called me this morning and said do not come today because your truck has been broken into; bad guy busted the windows. Truck is at car audio store getting my tvs put back in as I type now though. Sence all my tvs where discontuned they gave me the updated version, AND gave me free viper alarm with remote start. I would not reccomend this dealership to anyone!

They also waved the three hundred dollar tow bill.

But how stupid can they be for leaving my truck outside? It really pisses me off knowing some crack head been running threw my truck stealing my stuff.

I'd check your truck over very close before you drive from the dealership.
BEWARE of dealerships giving gifts.

I had that happen to me too. I had a car getting fixed and it was parked on there lot locked up like all the other cars. They used a crowbar to open my hood...steal my intake and my headlights (HIDs on a acura) Dealer replaced it all with no issues. It is odd they decided to offer up a new remote start alarm tho.

well i just got off phone with them. Truck will be done by 10am tomorrow. They replaced my tvs in readrest an tv in radio place, and done me the viper remote start. The alarm it had on it didnt go off thats why they upgraded the alarm. Ill take some pics tomorrow an take a pic of the bill for yall to see whats parts was used

Most dealers leave cars outside. Theres not enough room to keep every customer's vehicle inside, taking up space.

My truck is at the dealer now. I dropped it off tonight and its sitting outside and will be outside when its done.

I dont see what they did for $5600 to fix the 4wd and why they would touch the rear axle anyway.

I had to get all the bearings replaced in the rearend a few months ago because they were howling and that was $800 with parts and labor (not a dealer though).

Are u sure your 4hi isnt working? If it is, mine was doing the exact same thing, it turn out to be decoder.

You don't need to be easy on your 4wd you need to use it. Like anything else if you don't use it most likely it won't work the time that you need it to. So once a month find a spot and turn the 4wd on and get it working otherwise it will be gone and actually cost the $5,600 to get it fixed.

They didn't mess with rear axle. Mechanic said both front axles where "gone" along with 2pages of other broke 4x4 parts. I'm under the lemon law warranty so they are paying for everything. They also replaced my tvs with new ones so I'm good
