What truck do you have?? No details in your signature. How many miles??

If you had no codes or other indications then as everyone else said I call BS.

lack of air causing internal seals to blow??? what internal seal? rings?... can someone explain this?

I'm no expert but... no air no go... if you had a clogged air filter your motor would drop power like crazy and you'd be investigating way before anything could happen to you rmotor... sounds like BS to me.

I just started thinking. . .maybe we need to get up an emergency phone listing if we have problems like this. . .Shaun. . .if you went to a different dealer not but 30 miles up the road in Newnan you might have been treated differently.

this is probably not a bad idea... I'm always willing to help and have no problem giving my cell # to add to an emergency list

What a load of crap.
That dealer is full of shiaaat .
I would go and getthe DC rep and make a formal complaint.
The only good thing that turddealer is good for is fertilizing your garden.
Like said before document everything and fight like heck.

I have not seen the list yet but as a member of TDR I have read about a list of contacts they have (a travel book) with members who have given their phone numbers to be listed so if another member is in the area and needs assistance they are available.
