Unhappy Am I being petty, or should I expect more?

First, I love my truck.

I've been compiling a list of things to have the dealer check out and the list is getting long. When I have the time, I'll take it in to be looked at. Some things are common problems that I've seen discussed here. Others...? Here's the short list of the biggest problems. Should I cry to the dealer about every little thing? I spent $35,000 on this rig!

-Slow to shift, then clunks, from Drive to Reverse and vise versa.
-Feels like I'm being kicked in the butt on a low speed downshift or sometimes when I'm taking off while pulling a trailer.
-Slow throttle response (don't bother replying about this one)
-Starts hard and sometimes hard to start.
-Smells like rotten eggs from the exhaust.
-RPM's go up and down from about 600-1000 when it's warming up and idling.
-Brakes squeal and grind.
-Sounds like something is bouncing in the back of the truck over speedbumps.

The rotten egg smell from the exhaust is your catalytic converter going bad. Get that replaced very very soon!!! Replacing that will probably take care of some of the other problems.
