    1 vs how many recalls the 2nd gen had? Recalls don't mean unreliable.

    Any chance we get loaners if they keep our trucks for an extended amount of time?

    I would think so. I, personally, wouldn't let them leave me vehicle-less.

    Just checked and my vin is not on the list. That shouldn't matter since there is clear evidence of leakage, right?

    There is nothing wrong with your trucks, they are just marking what's theirs.

    When my vehicles stop leaking, then I know there is a problem.

    Yup! The dealer spotted my differential leak during my 5k service last month. They gave me one of these for a day while they replaced the gasket on my differential.
