Yes and yes. After adding the new power steering hoses and a flush of the steering rack and pinion and losing the core charge credit for the working alternator and power steering pump that I wanted to keep as spares, the grand total was $5867.73. The surprise was the “Miscellaneous...
Timing chain tensioner is an assembly that can fail. It is about 5 minute job when the timing chain cover is off, two tensioners is 10 minutes. Why not?
For my 2011, front bumper cover $169, rear $186.28. Shipping is $1970.02 though. This is at Partsouq. Rock Auto, $281 plus $150 shipping by RL for the rear bumper cover, front cover was out of stock. Nearest online dealer (42 mile round trip) $247 including tax for front cover, rear cover...
Today the service rep, one of the master mechanics, and I talked some more and added a full drain/flush/refill on transmission, transfer case, steering rack and servo, and both differentials. The service rep and master mechanic took out a lot of ”book” labor hours and agreed upon a final labor...
I’m confined to the house today so read all 40 pages. Just wondering after seeing all the scratched up/dented bumper covers, how much do new bumper covers cost? Anybody know off the top of their head?
We’ll probably do the starter when we do the front and rear axle bearings. I know those solenoid contacts are probably getting pretty tired by now, but it just isn’t in the budget for now. I have a really good electrical guy so I’ll probably keep the alternator as a spare and have him go...
Bought a very nice 2011 200 a couple years ago with 168K miles. Only thing the original owner had replaced was the gas cap. I’m now at 199K miles with nothing but brakes and oil changes since purchase. Took it in to the dealer last week for a squeaking serpentine belt. They found a cracked...
Sorry I missed this one. Still trying to recover from my injuries after falling at Hawks Pride while doing the rock buggy thing with my nephew. Walking around like a crab ain’t no fun. Looking forward to getting back into the mix soon.

The 200 is free and back home now. Didn’t even have to use the winch today, we hooked the JD Gator up to it, and with my buddy driving the Gator and me driving the 200, we just drove out. Significant drying had occurred since the last attempt to drive out, and we dug out the tires and put...
With two days of drying out, I tried to drive it out it yesterday evening, but no luck—just as sloppy as it was the day I got it stuck.
I had forgotten everything I knew about getting a winch/fairlead set up. Took me yesterday and from 10:00 til 3:45 today to get everything straightened out...
