    The tires also being tore up might be indicative of that.

    Definitely finding a new dealer. They keep telling me their hands are tied. It's up to Transcraft/Benson engineers to figure it out. I can see that, but at least put some heat on them.
    Haven't really had the best of luck with any truck or trailer dealers after the sale.

    I had an issue with the S Cam shaft on my infinity when I first got it and not really knowing who to take it to, the first shop I went with did me like these guys are treating you. 2 weeks to before they even started the repairs. It wasnt until I had a face to face with a heated discussion to light their fire and they finally got it done.

    Found a new shop and have been getting excellent service with them. So definitely sounds like you are not a priority to the people at this shop.

    Sounds like you lifted the rear axle with a load on.

    I drag a Rietnouer 48' Spread Axle Big Bubba. Trailer has somewhere around 800,000 miles on it, hauling steel coils.

    I'm considering getting it re-aligned when I get issued my new to me truck next month. Oh! And I had to replace a marker light last week.

    Rietnouer for tha win!
