    I just spent $277K on a new 49x dump and when i picked it up the dealer had drilled holes through the grille and bezel on the truck and put in aluminum pop rivets. Has anyone else had this happen? Its my guess that the grille and bezel on the truck would run about $7-$10K. It does not look good!

    And why did they feel the need to do that?

    I think they had a recall on those about a year back for those bezel parts falling off at highway speeds. That may have been the fix since the Elmer’s glue they used before may have been on back order
