took it out for 250 mile stroll yesterday - all seems well. The servicing dealer did a very good job from what I can tell thus far.

It isn't necessary. From what I understand, it takes about 2 1/2 - 3 hours to lift and lower the cab, but on a major service, the additional access can more than make up for the extra time lifting and lowering.

Glad to hear everything seems to be okay. Let's hope you just had a unicorn and the replacement will give you years of enjoyment.
