    This site just saved me a bunch of money! Ive been having problems with my rear springs for months now. I thought that I might have caused the damage and figured I was stuck Till I came up with the cash to fix things. I have carried some heavy pay loads but I was sure I stayed in the safe limits. Three days ago I was fed up with my lack of rear suspension so I started pricing parts........dealer rear spring $605.00 each, aftermarket $260.00 each. Then I found a link to this site about TSB's. For some reason I had no idea that my spring problem could be a warranty issue.Thanks to the great info I got my rear suspension fixed/upgraded in three days for free. and just in the nic of time.....36 month/36,000miles......me the day I found out about TSB's.......35 months 26 days/34,004miles...........money saved according to dealership......$2,400.00.

    Thanks to tcBob for the great info.
    Look foward to checking out the rest of the site
