All,
I think there is some incorrect info here. The folks on the Ram list
have been getting the upgraded shafts installed without even asking the
dealer for these units, when they are getting their worn out factory
shafts replaced under warrantee. Sounds like this dealer doesn't do much
business with trucks as this is fairly common knowledge among the Ram
folks. According to the Ram list, the upgraded shafts are being
delivered to the dealerships from the factory, so CC is definitely
footing the bill here.
