Not very impressed with quality

I got a 05 PSD yesterday. Was looking it over last night after I got home. Wife went to drive it, drivers seat will not move (electric). She noticed it has a 4X4 decal on the passenger side of the box, but not on the driver side. While showinng my BIL the engine I noticed a 3/4 to 1/2 inch gap between the air filter and the turbo inlet housing that clamps to the "clean air" side of the filter.

I'm not off to a very good start.

For the most part thats rare to find things like that, get the small things out of the way and you should find that you have a great truck !

I'd actually walk in and say: "hey I got a demo, where's my new one?... I'll be waiting out front for the REAL one I bought..."

I agree that the condition of the truck is not acceptable and would take it back to the dealer and request (demand) something to make it right.

I am just wondering, did the power seat break, or did it just happen to be in the perfect location for you?

Wouldn't the truck run bad with the air inlet having the gap in it?

I just know how I am before I accept delivery of a new vehicle and would not of taken delivery of this truck.

Warning, make sure you check your truck everytime you pick it up from the dealer.

I`ve found dents and scratches when I got it home. Then its to late to tell them about it, they blame it on something else.
