I'm nervous about getting the flash
I've had my truck for 2 months now and have been debating on getting the flash. I want it but everything is fine the way it is and I guess I just don't trust the dealer to do it right. Last thing I want right now is it start throwing check engine lights and such because it wasn't done right. I don't feel like going back and forth to the dealer. Decisions, decisions.......

Go for it brother! It won't hurt your truck and it will only make it better. I am nervous if anyone even touches my truck at the dealership. So this is what I did, when my truck went back into the dealership for spray-in bed liner and undercoating...here's how the conversation went to the salesmen..." Ok here's the deal...my truck is a very big deal in my life...I put a blanket over it at night in my garage....if anything happens to this truck I am going to lose my temper and mind....so treat this truck like a 8,000 pound new born baby!......put your best man on the job!".....it worked...No problems.
You will be fine...Do it!! :-)

Now that's funny. The garage isn't enough?
My truck is outside in the cold and day two of clouds and rain.
No issues with the installation of the flash here; took the tech 45 minutes.

if you like it as is why bother? leave well enough alone right......i on the other hand can't wait to get mine done....10 more HP and 65 more ft-lbs for no additional charge it's a no brainer for me....and if they screw it up, it will be a pain to go back and forth to the dealer but they have to fix it or replace it since it's under warranty. also is it just a certain dealer or all dealers that you don't trust to do it right? if it's just one in particular take it to another.

It is painless fellas!!!!
I had my truck about a week and a half when I received my notice. Called the dealer that day, took my baby in on Monday 7 AM, picked her up at noon with no issues, heck they even washed her for me, which kinda offended me, I thought she was spotless when I dropped her off
