First of all, my wife is a union member. I just don't appreciate the leadership telling us how to vote and wasting union dues on politicians we don't support.

Hey, I feel the same way but I knew what I was getting into when I hired on. I just ignore most of what they say and make up my own mind. It is unfortunate because most of the union membership just votes for whoever the union backs. I happen to look at other issues that concern me and not just what is good for my job so to speak. Union dues aren't spent on supporting politicians but the VCAP (PAC) donations are used to support political candidates. It is hard having been raised a republican to all of a sudden be in an enviroment where 99% of the people are democrats if only because they have been told to be democrats by the leadership. I get in debates all the time about political candidates, and i just have to bite my lip because most of the time the response i get is " i just don't like him".

Anyway, the union sticker on the windshield is put there to let people know the truck was built by an american union in an american assembly plant.

I agree with what you said and I'm glad it's built by Americans. I just wish the union leadership weren't so....well...i don't want to get in trouble here....lol I just don't agree with them or their tactics.

I thought that the Union sticker gave me more HP... oh wait stickers only work on Hondas.

Actually I like it on there, its better than a dealer logo.

Excuse me for a dumb question, but can somebody tell me what the vibration problem is? I don't seem to have one and my truck was built at Norfolk in 11/03. Thanks

I can pick it up on my way home and drive it down to you if you'd like... I'll treat it REAL nice during the break-in, don't worry!!

You can have it this weekend!

Don't let him, if you have ever seen the Seinfeld episode with the BO that they can't get out of the car you'll know why...
