All I have to say, is make sure you get that the dealer said there was nothing wrong with the front end IN WRITING! It will save you if something fails right after the warranty expires.

 

Good news fellas! I just had my truck aligned because of the new tires I put on and also to have a second set of eyes look at the ball joint to see if the dealer was trying to hide something from me until my warranty was up. The local garage I brought it to is known for their awesome alignments and he told me he tried like hell to find play in all my joints especially the upper ball. He could not find any play what so ever! He also commented that he has seen a ton of upper ball join problems on our trucks as well as bushing and tie rods. He went into the job with the notion that my truck having 32,000 miles that it would have something wrong given the stuff he's seen before.

So maybe the dealership is truly honest after all. I've just had so many problems with dealers in the past trying to skimp out of repairs when my warranty was almost over that I guess I second guess them, but so far my dealer has been a true 5-star dealer in the sale and the service department.

 

I wish my truck only had 32,000 miles on it

 

I am at 33k

I have a small squeek that comes and goes. I havent been able to pin point it. I am about to silicone lube every joint!

 

New to the forum here and I too had a front end squeak whenever I would go over bumps. Had my truck in for service and they said my tie rods needed to be replaced and after that the squeak would go away. Needless to say it didn't go away. To make a long story short it turned out to be the hood latch that was causing the problem. A little grease on the latch and problem solved.
