Thanks CW. I believe you may have helped me/responded to one of my threads in the past.

I would agree that perhaps my story might be the exception & not the rule; however, it's the service advisers that really make me believe the later. They both advised me to get the heck out of the truck years ago - both been at their respective dealerships for over 20 years so they've seen/heard it all.

Oh, and by the way, I forgot the alternator bracket gasket repair - $10 part - like 800 labor.

Like I said, I'm sure every car & car manufacturer has their horror stories. And, truth be told, out of every repair I did, I would say the only one that really pi$$ed me off is the 5 door handles. Really? Door handles????
