Try another dealer before you blow a gasket...( I tried a few before I found one I trusted - then I moved and had to go through the process again - but now I rest easy because I know I can trust the one I use)

There is a one-word explanation for what you are dealing with: lawyers.

Is that the only dealer in Tacoma? Maybe Jake can hook you up. He's not too far from the area.

Good luck !!

I don't know about the big 3500, but my tiny 2500 4x4 has a sticker that stares you in da face when you open ze hood. LUBE THAT SHAFT! Or something less pornographic.

Calm and nice may get you some more free service. Blasting them to hell will get you nothing.

This dealerships service is the free type i can do without. i already spoke to service manager today and he tried to appologise for the screwup, but he pissed me off by blaming the tech ,the service writer, and everyone else he could think of and he didnt even know abou the driveshaft lube. so i informed him about my mechanic experiance and told him that as a manager of a dealer this inept ,i dont know attitude is flat unnacceptable ,if he is the leader of the maint team and he didnt know how can he blame the tech and service writer ,and i told him i did not appreciate being trated like a disgruntled wallmart customer with a bad dvd return. its a $45000 vehicle but i have people with the inteligance of wallmart dealing with me ,ive spoken with 4 people from dealer and each one said i dont know so what the fu#k are they doing there?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ok i feel better sorry for the rant i will see what happens tommorow!
