Here the rest of the info.

The rack and pinion assay. and fluid was replaced along with a front end
alignment done. Truck was due for one:). This replaced the tie rods on both
side and the boots.

About the TPs setting. Before I did the voltage adjustment as listed at
SpeedTweaks. The voltage was .558v, I adjusted it up to .735v, The dealer
brought it up to .786v. I checked it before coming to work tonight. Nothing
was said about the small washers or even the holes being drilled out. I
wonder if the Tech did the voltage adjustment via the computer or rotating
the TPS? What ever they did it worked, it Idle smooth just like new now.

I asked about the shifting of the auto tranny (45RFE). The service Manger
had the hole thing checked out and it has a clean bill of health!!!

Parking brake and rear brakes were adjusted back to factory settings.

I had one lugnut missing the chrome cover and that also was replaced.

This above work was done at the new Don Davis Jeep/Chrysler @ RT. 820 and
North Beach St. in north Fort Worth.

Bottom line..... Cost to me....... NOTHING!! :)
