Well, Finally Got it back...
So, got my truck back finally today for the third repair. Here's the chronology of my truck since I've owned it:
1st repair, Airbag light, new sensor, new switch: $400
2nd Repair, New EGR Cooler, new Oil Cooler, new headgaskets, ARP headstuds, new turbo. Total Approx: $7k
3rd Repairs, (Transfer Case locked up and blew apart) New TC, new front driveshaft, new tranny shift linkage, new Fuel Pump, New wiring harness, total: $4800.
So, I've owned it since May 9th, 69 days...It's been in the shop 32 of those days. Total repairs over $13k. I have only paid the cost of the ARP headstuds.
So my question is, do I now have a good truck or should I trade it in??

I would think that as much as you have spent on repairs, you almost have to keep it. As previously stated, you've got a completely rebuilt drivetrain with upgraded components...keep it!

Yep, my AUL warranty covered the T case and the Fuel pump, the dealer covered the driveshaft and the linkages...
