The dealership told me that labor cost was only 30 minutes to fix. I called the Dodge dealership, ordered the part, which cost $39.00, and will have another shop put in on for me. I was happy with the work but not the service afterwards. He still did not acknowledge this happened at his shop and refused to fix it. I explained that they were the last ones to work on my truck and the material was not welded together but rather a looked like a bonding compound used to repair it.

I took my truck back to Christian Brothers in Montgomery, Al and the manager told me he does not believe his people did this and even told me that they don't have any welding material at their shop. I have synthetic oil in it which only requires an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. I have been working from home since the Covid 19 pandemic and have not driven my truck a lot. This should have been something the manager took into consideration. Keep in mind that the vacuum line replaced was next to the oil tube. He also showed me the spot where someone put some bonding agent on it to fix it. I have not had any issues since then but when I took my truck to have the oil changed at one of the local shops, the technician showed me the oil tube for the oil dip stick was broken. Christian Brothers Automotive found and replaced the line. About a year ago, I had a vacuum line leak on my vehicle that caused the check engine light to come on. I had the engine replaced at 309,000 miles but other than normal wear and tear, the vehicle has been great and is still in excellent condition. I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 that I purchased as a new vehicle.
