    Oh, the joys of the "Break-down " time....Just sitting around wallowing in self-pity, with the
    knowlage that your not alone. In Portland, with my truck at Pete dealer--along with 3 other
    trucks wondering if today is the day mine gets started. Only been here since yesterday at
    Noon. You just get tired of a nearly "NEW " truck having so many problems,it drives me nuts..
    Sorry just ranting alittle. Could be worse--could be in the middle of Oklahoma somewhere....

    Every Dealership is diffferent. Denver was pretty good with me last time had a broken shock and got it back the next morning. I guess its all on their workload

    Yeah me too mines a 98 but she runs like a 07! The thing with the older trucks is they can be repaired by so so shops as thay are ez to understand and fix. I drove back in 08 a new shaker and to this day there were things under that hood that I have no idea what they are!! Pop the hood on my 98 I know what everthing is and what it does thats the way it should be,but sadly her days are numberd with me and I will be back in a 2013 pos.
