I been so mad since last night.
I spent all summer overhauling my moms vehicle since it was cheaper to get a new engine and trans than a car payment.
Working on it on Saturdays only, I put a new engine, trans, undercoated the vehicle with eastwood product. Swapped evaporator/heater cores, condensor, receiver drier, and any little things that needed replacing.
Engine rebuilder sent an engine with a freeze plug with a hole in it. Had to change the engine again after coolant leaked into the crankcase. Should've known when my vacuum fill for the antifreeze wouldnt hold a vac.
Now after 1,577 miles of it being on the road and driving better than a new vehicle, the servo cap on the 5r55s decided to crack in half and lose just about 10 qts of trans fluid.
Thankfully I know the owner personally over at the trans shop that built it and agreed to fix/change it this morning. My god...this is one of those scenarios where it was almost worth buying a new vehicle since everything had to be changed out twice.
Had to change the heater core out on the RAM right after an aftermarket one failed within 2 weeks a couple months ago too.
Anyone else having problems with parts quality in general lately? Seems like 1/4 of the parts I get are defective in some way shape or form
