Morning, our son traded vehicles with dealer. He got a 08 Dodge megacab. They closed the deal late in the day,headed for home after eating something. Dealer is 3 hours away. The truck starts losing electrical. They are hour away from dealer who is closed anyway. Figures it?s alternator. They call for rescue and leave truck at convenience store. While trying to figure out that it?s the alternator,son discovers that the air conditioning pump has been disabled. First thing next morning they call dealer who retrieved the truck. He admitted that the truck had been running the battery down. They thought it was battery but didn?t bother to tell. Son suggests to check alternator. Yep, sure enough. Here?s the part I don?t think is right, son mentions the air is disconnected, they tell him he should have checked it out. They?ll put in new alternator but no service on air. When buying used is it buyers duty to themselves to have a mechanic go with you?
