I'm driving home from work today and I hear a loud noise from the rear of my truck. I thought maybe I hit something. I looked in my mirror and nothing. I get down the road a little and the noise is back but not as loud. I get home and look under the truck and find the shackle that holds the rear spring is broke. The noise was the spring hitting the bed which left a nice dent in the bottom of it.
I call my dealer only to find out it's probably not covered since my warranty has expired. I have an 05 with 38k miles on it. They say I should have it towed in so they can look at it. My problem is I'm 45 minutes from my closest dealer ship and I hate to pay that tow bill to find out it's not covered. I'm upset because I have never abused this truck. It's a 4x4 LE that's never been off roading. It's never even been pushed close the payload capacity.
Can anyone tell me what after market shackles might cost and if it's a big job replacing them?
