But that's just st my thought. I haven't talked to them this morning.

The mechanic had taken a long test drive yesterday but it seemed fine. I mentioned again what it was doing and when it happened and the service writer finally thinks it's hydraulic as well. The Dodge uses a sealed hydraulic system (unfortunately) but if there is moisture in the fluid it could bubble under high temperatures. The clutch slave cylinder is somewhere near the exhaust down pipe and I was seeing exhaust temperatures of 900°F on some of the long grades and that was when it was happening.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-88084028280833128222017-06-01T19:52:20.176-08:002017-06-01T19:52:20.176-08:00So what is the fix??

It just like a little pulley wheel mounted at an angle at the outer corner of the door. Works great.BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-67746788012459949092017-06-01T19:50:20.206-08:002017-06-01T19:50:20.206-08:00It may be easier than that.

Since it is a dealer doing the work I'm expecting stock. Maybe Dodge has learned something over the last 12 years. The 2005 that I have was the first year for the dual-mass flywheel assembly and since then the engine output has only increased.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-72566798989436677912017-05-31T21:28:51.090-08:002017-05-31T21:28:51.090-08:00Richard that is so frustrating.
