Ditto on the 72 hr grace period. I once took back a used car and got my trade in back. i tried to have the front end aligned and found out that the front axle shafts were bent.
I'd rather keep the truck and fix it than go get my old car back. It has brand new plugs, so I'll pull them and gap them. Also has new coils and a fresh oil change.
It does have 104k miles, so it is possible it's just time for a new catalytic converter. After all, it is a turbocharged engine. The truck is in mint condition otherwise, it had to have been taken care of.
I just need a catalytic converter I guess. Anyone have a low mileage take off one?
OP, you are not using your brain. Dealer bought a lemon at auction, did not fix it, sold it to you. Catalytic converters don't wear out... Basic research of the code would show you this:
Catalytic converters are not normally a "wear" type item, that is they are not deisgned to wear out and need replacement. If they have failed, it is likely due to something else that caused it to fail.
It has 104k on it... I think if it was having major issues it would have shown by now. Condensation in the intercooler probably killed the cat and wore out the plugs. Fix the condensation, fix the cat, plugs are already replaced, and should be good. Just need to drill the weep hole, or get a different intercooler. I like the truck and am not getting my car back. There are no other good trucks in the area at this price point without having many more miles or being a basic dodge ram.
Take it back. Even if you don't undo the deal the lot you bought it from should pay, or at least partially pay to for the repairs. The sooner you get it back the better so you have documentation that it wasn't right when it left their lot.
Let it go guys. The OP is brain dead or a troll. If he is that stupid to sit here and argue with people who have experience with the EB let him find out the hard way. When he has a $21,000 paper wieght it's just one more truck we can get cheap parts off of.
Yep, you know why it was at an auction? For the problems you are having with it. Someone traded it in at a dealer, they saw how much the repairs were going to be, and sent it to auction, where your unsuspecting dealer saw a pretty shinny immaculate truck for a low price he could flip to someone who doesnt know any better. You got taken, Justin, but oddly, you seem fine with that.
