Nova Scotia BS Thread

either way I’ll find out by the end of the day tomorrow what’s gonna happen

A) I’ll call Kia myself and chew them out
B) I’ll call Kia myself and ask for some money back for technically selling me a trd sport
C) I’ll call Kia and ask for all the money back and they take there truck back and I buy somewhere else

 

as for the whole dealer costing tones of $$ bit. I had a similar experience. my drivers side needle bearing in the front diff is loose, and I called them to ask how much to replace it, it was a $30 part, but they wanted to drop the diff, split the case yadda yadda..... the total estimate from Toyota was over $2k. nope nope nope! come on here, find this is a common problem and that ECGS has a teflon coated bronze sintered bushing that resolves the issue for way cheaper then Toyota wanted, AND it can be done without dropping the diff. there is always more then 1 way to skin a cat is my point. If I were you I'd try to get a big chunk of money back, and fix it yourself.

 

I probably could but if they say they are going to pay to have it fix may as well

I enjoy the truck and I already bought a bumper and winch for it so for what ever reason they don’t pay then yeah I’ll just buy the part off rock auto and rebuild the diff

 

I think that it is fairly common for the actuator on the elocker to fail. I am sure that 99% of TRD Offroad owners don't even know what that button does and never use it. I haven't checked (because I am up to my eyeballs right now getting my trailer on the road for camping this afternoon) but I am sure there are several threads on here that would walk you throught the fix.

 

After today I will have more info by 530 today

 

My week's work, off to get inspected this afternoon and then set up to camp!



Such a bad paint job, so many runs and misses. I'll paint the tongue later, there is gonna be some more welding done on it yet.

 

Is that still the original axel ?

 

Yes, the replacement isn't ready yet.

 

That was gonna be my next question

 

Toyota just called me fuck yea KIA is paying Toyota to fix my truck

 

That's awesome!

Looking good!
are you happy with the work the machine shop did? was it what you expected?

 

did a google search for leaf spring Halifax today, and was super surprised at what poped up in the old search

apparently Walmart.ca sells Old Man EMU stuff..... Seriously!

 

That is looking wicked so far! Be able to fit any and all your gear in it

Congrats! I love when companies stand behind something they sold

Did not know ! I wonder what they charge for a complete OME setup for out trucks? (2nd gen)

 

im stoked ....now my bumper isn't a waste of money yea .... now just have to wait for the part to arrive and for them to call me back and make appointment

bumper says it will be here on the 28th may but when i gps its location its only 2 days away so i think it should be here some time late next week

 

Look what showed up in the mail today!

 

^ oh no .....think replacing that was the worst job I've had to do

 

I pulled the tranny to do the release bearing, out and back in in under 5 hours with a Chinese food break.

 

In other news the well at the house failed the flow test.

We've extended the date thing, waiting to hear from the seller on what he's going to do. He has well people coming in on Tuesday to look at it.

This could end up being a deal breaker!

 

Bed liner help , should I have bought a primer ?

 

What type of bedliner are you using?

Generally, no. But you need to prep the surface well or it'll chip.
