Once they are stuck, they are there to stay, no starting over. They do look good though. They are body color with a narrow chrome strip.
Do you remember where you got them, and what the price was? Do they come painted...if so how well does the color match?

Thanks

Everybody was on lunch, so I need to call back later to find out an action plan. They drove the vehicle into their test bay and stated that there is no problem with the steering shaft. I showed them the TSB, explained to them the clunk that is felt when braking and going over bumps, and showed the manager the intermediate shaft the does not have the "green" dot of approval. He has placed an order for the new shaft, and will install when it comes in.

The part the bugs me the most is the exhaust. They admit they are not aligned, but also state that they are all like that, so it must be correct. I walked on the lot and saw 3 other Hemi D's that all looked perfect compared to mine. I measured mine and they are off by 1"...more to come on this one.

Filled her up for the first time on the way back from the dealer. I went 241 miles, and she drank 17.6 gallons (13.69mpg's). Hope it gets better from here.
Shark, reference to the exhaust problem. Yesterday I got under mine and pulled the exhaust over to center and it stayed there. Looks like there is some play as to where it will stay. I'm hoping that it stays there, but will wait and see.
