This truck has been under maintenance since 5,000 miles, and it will never be repaired if it is still maintained now. No invoice will be given for subsequent repairs on this truck
I paid 5000.00 to have an upper oil pan gasket replaced , itbwas leaking oil. Now 5 months later and 3000 miles it is leaking again, was told there was a 2 year unlimited milage warranty on the repair. It is now leaking again, after contacting several dealers they will not fix it with out me paying again, im not rich and can not afford to pay again, can really not afford to go back to dealer that did the work originally. We are full time rvers,
