If I had the money I'd have a new one, and a new truck, a new house, lots and lots of land......and stuff. Oh, almost forgot, a couple ho's from Bare Assets!

Same problem with vibration? If so, guess they don't learn from their past.

The company's are so afraid of product liability now.....if some says it happen look out! Lol I won't let a recall be done on any of my vehicles till I research the problem. Sometimes tech doing the so called fix do more damage as most are flat rate and don't give a rats ***
