Unfortunately mines not leaking so it's not as obvious.

Pat, they aren't seeing what I am. They're afraid of replacing it without observing it themselves. But they agree nothing is left lol. I drive 35' buses, vans bigger trucks and none do this.

I'm calling this week to have it replaced. I'm praying this takes care of it. Really really praying. It could be an expensive kick to the nuts if it doesn't.

Truck goes in tomorrow... They're paying for a rental. Fingers crossed Saturday the truck nearly sent me over the yellow line on a very busy strip on route 1.

You realize they are only paying for the rental so that if the rack isn't fixed they don't feel like they stole all your money for this.

All kidding aside what are you getting for a rental?

Thanks 88... Startling to say the least.


Not sure James. Probably a fiesta or kia similar in size.

He mentioned giving up the truck for an extended road test. I said nope, replace it, I'm getting nowhere with this diagnosing. And mentioned the steering incident I just listed above.

It helped but it's still awful. On replacing my drivers side upper bj, both front rotors and re torquing the entire front end next month. I'm getting suspicious I have a loose shock and also want to rule out the last factory bj. The brakes need to be redone so I could have a bad hub too, who knows. I'll let you know.
