I dont know much on this topic but, I can say out here in Washington State,
some dealers do alot of add ons, such as big tires,wheels and window tint,
lift kits to new trucks to help sell the truck. The only thing i can think
of is,it was not installed by a professional in there eyes. which is a bunch
of crap.I dont see what the big deal is..larger wheels tires dont have
anything to do with a coolent leak..
