I hate to rain on your parade, but I think you will be on the loosing end. You have nothing in writing that the dealer performed any work at all, nothing to show that it was the dealer that poked holes in the boots, and you allready have a truck that, stated above, eats ball joints for lunch.
That being said, was there any sort of warranty on the truck when you bought it? That might be your advantage in small claims court. The dealer had a warranty and did not fulfill his obligations to it.
Good luck and keep us informed.
the judge won't know that. and he doesn't neccesarily have to believe what the stealership says, either. But the written documentation is the killer..if you can get it, you win. If you can't, they win. that simple, really...

Yeah. tomorrow I'm gonna go to the shop and see if I can get a document saying the truck was there.

And they did provide a 60 day warranty, On which they did not fulfill.

next time u need joints get some greasable ones from napa and rent a press. u get the rental money back once u take it back. But pokin holes in the boots, they should not allowed to touch vehicles. Take both people if u can and any documents u may think is important. and maybe even some written from the dealership, saying what was wrong. the more u have the better you'll do.
