I have a 03 cummins HO 6 spd 4x4 with 48,000 miles... With that in mind I took all my after market mods except for the exhaust and guages off to take it in to the shop for some coolant that I noticed that had ran down the side of the engine.. I told them while they have it to check it out for other problems that I might have... I also told them that sometimes I hear a sqeek in the front end, and sometimes the A/C blows colder then other times...
This is what they told me...

I don't know how to take this but I am rather pi$$ed off
... The shop manager said that they would take care of the steering sector since it only has a few thousand miles on it... I paid 37,000 dollars for this truck one and a half years ago.. I do not intend to put 1500 dollars a year in it... The shop manager also said that we will talk to the district manager next week because he is out of town to see if there is any thing that they can do...
Those Ford Power Strokes are looking better and better.. So is Chevy Duramax
Most of these miles were on I10 to work and back...
