Well... Got new ball joints, putter tie rod ends and a new pitman arm... Alignment done today and all is now well.... Now I have to look the Durango over again [emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Unfortunately I do my oil changes every 10K... Or once a year ... So that had all been checked ... I think this part failure wasn't necessary due to lack of inspection, just a lack of good parts I think, if I recall right I did these just before I hurt my shoulder last time so I had just had my youngest and just bought a new car...

Yeah I actually got my 98 Durango for $450.00 ...broken right hand lower ball joint ... Lady bought a new SUV so I got a deal ... New lower control arm and installed in about 2hrs and I put it on trailer and wasn't but 3 days and I was driving it full time ... Now I think I will institute a rule and keep it ... 5yrs.. they get replaced... Uppers and lowers .. even if thier good... I make trips to 100+ way too often to not think ahead...

Yeah it would have been a crap storm at 60 .... Or even 6mph.... Someone was looking after me for sure [emoji846] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

So went to lunch down the hwy from where I work... smashing as usual around 60ish... Got back to work and went to back into my parking area... And BANG!!!!! Broken ball joint [emoji44][emoji44][emoji44][emoji44][emoji34][emoji34]. Guess 8yrs is long enough ? Not even a shimmy in the front end ... Just greased the whole front end before winter and parked it due to winter drivability... So I been driving my Durango instead.... Good darn thing Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

We have a few pumps like that in the heavy truck market ... N14 Cummins is one of them ... The other is the 14L series 60 ... We now tack weld a few spots to ensure this does not happen... Thankful because it does void warranty but we have not had any returns as of yet Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok well long story short....his daughter dropped a coin into the cigarette lighter in the car , piped fuse, then pulled a fuse thinking it was a spare and now power to lighter but no start.... [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848] She forgot to mention that part ... So the car went to the shop for a $400.00 missing 20a fuse ... What a cluster fk... This is why I charge double if the customer has worked on thier own crap... A fuse can definitely decide weather or not ur car starts [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

So we have done some testing... Found that 12v was going thru new ignition... But not thru the air bag controller? So boss loaded the POS up and took it to VW .... LMBO [emoji23], we just can't wrap our heads around all these Mico switched parts I guess [emoji23]... We tried I guess [emoji43][emoji43][emoji43] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

He may have already done that before I got involved... I can ask him more tomorrow Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Yes that is what we are thinking is going on ... Our electrician/mechanic seems to think it's ignition related somehow ... We can make the starter turn engine over by using my power probe as the ignition signal to starter power and she kicks right over but even with ignition on still no run.

Ok so ignition on jumping starter still results in no running Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

I'll have to check it out I'm not sure... I have not tried to turn ignition on and jump starter but I will test that Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Yeah tried everything... Seatbelt on and all that.... Nada Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Ok so when the key is on all the dash works come to life ... No relay under or behind so near the master cylinder... ?under dash maybe ? Also when u turn key to on position we cannot shift car to any gear ? Is this all saying relay 109 still ... And darn they hid that thing good [emoji23] Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
