Thanks ken. The last I heard they were shipping to another dealer to have the recalls fixed because they only have 3 mechanics there, so hopefully that will help. I like the salesman I have and I think he is trying his best to get me in my truck, so for now I wait.

Is the hold up on your end or theirs? and aren't there any incentives you'll lose waiting that long...or is that the reason a new incentive plan is coming out then?

I mean if they are saving you thousands then heck yeah.....otherwise tell them you want it now, remember your the paying customer.

Nice looking truck thou.................
Thanks Steve. Right now it is sitting at 9 grand off the sticker, so thats pretty good. they just don't have enough mechanics working there. I am sure they have other cars to work on too, so its understandable on that part.

Yeah I guess 9K off, but I worked for many a dealerships and my SM would be all over the Service department to getr done....they want everything out before the last day of the month for their numbers...remember the SM gets bonuses on higher monthly numbers...

What recalls are they doing?

Ya, the view from a deer's perspective

With the two headlamps so close to each other, that train would have to be almost on top of you before you could discern that it had two headlights.

I think the astronomers refer to it as resolution, when a telescope can look into a spot of light and see more than one star inside the glow.
