    For me it's the 6 speed automatic, over here in the hills the 3rd gen is always changing gears looking for that sweet spot. When my father owned his he would always slide the trans. in drive and it would do better but it still shifted guite alot. Of course for me it's the transmission and I think it's ugly too. I'll be waiting patiently for the 4th gen before I trade again, but if I wait until I have 100k miles on my 2015 I'll be waiting alot longer than that.

    I went to Boondocks .... yesterday.
    Great customer service, scheduled easily.
    We watched them pull it off, and stood it up on a soft carpet.
    YES ... the truck was not sealed properly by LineX. Boondocks added seal in the gaps and replaced the cap seal, running along all 3 'flats' with a much better bulb seal.
    So almost 75 dollars for what LineX should have done right the 1st time.

    Now to test it.

    Glad to hear that. Still waiting for the call that my shell arrived. Hopefully just another week and I hope they are doing a great job as well installing mine. The female owner I assume is a little on the rough side but still gets stuff done...

    Yeah I talked to Mike for a bit and he knows his stuff for sure. Don't get me wrong, Bev is awesome but just the deficit of technology makes things a little harder.

    Glad Boondocks took care of it for you. Four years ago when they resealed mine it cost me $50, they didn't have the thick deal for the front so the built it up with 4 or 5 layers of the thin foam seal. That may be why mine was a little bit cheaper. 2 camper shells ago I brought one in for him to reseal and hook up the brake light as well, on top of that the camper shell didn't come with any keys, they (Boondocks) went through there extra keys and found a set that fit it and they never charged me for the keys. He will always get my business whenever I need anything camper shell related.

    Lack of technology? What tech is lacking there?

    The added cost was explained. The bulb seal was the cost over 50. Not a problem. It just should have been done right the first time.

    That was related to an experience what I had with them and nothing to do with yours Ken. Don't get all wound up now sir. I was talking about them not having the ability to send me a quote per e mail...that's all.

    Sory, I do not mean to come across wound up. Just wanted to know. :)

    I can see concern about a lack of email. Maybe a policy, not lack of technology.
    Now that you mention it ... We did not get a written quote from LineX. And that is why I suggest others get several quotes from different sellers. Maybe the policy comes from the mfg. (Conspiracy alert) :)
