Last week I was pulling away from the pumps when I drove over a pothole causing both of my back leaves of the axle to become broken. I was driving a 2002 Dodge ram 1500 SLT extended cab 4x4. I then phoned a friend with the help of a customer that was leaving.and notified her that I needed help for my truck wouldn't go into drive, reverse, and I couldn't put it in park, even tried the ebrake. I had to keep my foot on the brake. The Attendant was nice enough to allow me to use a few bags of salt to block the truck from rolling out into traffic. While informing me if the bags ripped I would have to pay for them. The customers informed me that if I could put it in 4 wheel drive and the two front wheels would engage and I could move it away from he road. The Attendant informed me that the deliveries were the next morning and that my truck was out of the way by 11pm and after calling AAA a million times exaggeration. I returned in the morning and the tow truck had already been there 9am ish and he couldn't get back for three hours so I used a jack and was able to force my driveshaft on the truck. Put the unripped bags of salt back on the top of the pile jumped it and limped it home.
The average cost to replace leaf springs ranges from $450 to $790 per leaf if you hire a professional. These estimates include the cost of labor in addition to the springs and parts. The cost of the installation alone could range from $95 to $170 depending on where you go.
I haven't been able to drive my vehicle since.
Desired outcome: Reimbursement 1000 dollars
