    Thanks guys, just made my appointment. There's a recall on this issue, they want to see the truck before they can fix it.

    Not as bad as the others, but oddly (sarcasm) in the same place:

    I'm really wondering what my dealership will tell me about this one. I had to get the pictures before I took it in tomorrow just to have the evidence.

    Honestly, I'm really glad that I don't drive my truck too hard. It's mainly for to and from work and picking up mulch at Lowe's... I wonder how some of you guys who push it have kept it alive.

    lol I did the exact opposite. I checked before I showered and changed clothes after coming home from work.
    I'd rather ruin my work clothes than any of my other clothes...but I work construction so ya.

    I'm going to stop washing it until I get more info and then get a pic.

    My truck gets pretty dirty driving on construction sites and up at the cottage so I usually hit the under side with a foam canon and rinse it down as well.

    my condolences

    I always laugh when I hear people say let me get out of my work clothes I don't want to get them dirty. Obviously people have different jobs but it makes me laugh still lol.
    When I was getting my tires put on I went to load the winters in the bed so they didn't do it, after having all the dirt on my hands the guy said I can wash them I just wiped them on my carhharts. Like I give a shit they already had contact cement and fire stop on them lol.

    I thought that was related to this one if the rear end completely locked up?

    I was just reading the stop sale thread and trying to see if it was worded differently, but may be the same one.
