well i hope my warranty covers it, i will be getting the call today and i see what happens. Yesterday when i went in to drop the truck off, i had talked to the service manager directly and was telling me that my ext. warranty most probably will cover it, and went even further to say that they will replace the other side as well because it looks like its also wearing, so i was under the impression that it will be covered, well at least until now......well i wait and see and keep you all updated....
