That's the first thing I'm going to mention to the dealer that sold the
truck to me - "District Manager". Then, I will regale him with the level of
"service" that I am receiving from his dealership. A dealership which I
purchased an extended warranty from, no less.
By the way, Maggie's H.O.T. Dodge is a Five Star Dealership(tm). Why am I
not surprised at how I am being treated? :-P
Thanks for the heads up on the right over-torsion causing a lean to the
left. Makes sense that I would notice that _after_ I pick up the truck from
being fixed.
