I get the vibe when they told to bring it in next week is they have to order some parts. I offered to bring it in earlier, but they are pretty firm on next week. I did call service dept. to see how busy they were because I wanted to "add some upgrades to my new truck" and was told they weren't busy at all. Could go either way on that one since I'm sure they would prefer to do paying jobs.

Great advice and thank you all again. <cheers>

Happy camper now.

Just curious if you know how they fixed the fog light? My Ram passenger fog is set back like that - the previous owner got in an accident and it looks like the mounting bracket is bent. I'm wondering if I'll be able to bend it back out or if I should just go ahead and order a new bracket.

Glad you got it fixed, looks much better now!

There was still about an 1/8" gap when I got it back. Hardly noticable, but I wanted it flush and didn't want to take it back to the dealership. They did an absolutely awesome job on the bumper cover though.
So, the next morning I put the truck up on some small ramps and took a look. Using a 3ft. piece of roll bar and a towel wrapped around the end to protect from gouges, I wedged it between the main support and the foglight bracket and then applied outward pressure. Didn't go hog wild, but small increments by checking the gap. A few times later and it's like what you see in the picture. I also did the driver side.
*Might need a different size pry-bar, depending on how much room is inbetween the main and FL support.
