what a rip-off. . . .you can get the fuel filter from geno's for $10, and the oil filter for around $14.

I figured they couldnt remove the reverse backup. . .but it was a shot

I forgot to mention that that is in Canadian funds, but yes I thought it was a rip also, but I did want my high idle feature turned on.
And I will be doing all my own from now on, that way ensuring that everything IS done, IE the front drive shaft fitting .

I don't allow anyone but myself to change oil on my pickup. My father has had to much **** go almost wrong, one oil filter just about fell off the next time he changed it and he has had a few oil pan plugs stripd.[:@] Its not just cheaper but safer, it falls off its your fault and you dont have to chase after anyone else.

So if I added it up right they charged you $94.95 for your oil change? Heck I see Dodge send out flyers for a LOF on a diesel for $39.95 + tax. Yes I will say that is a rip off as you can buy Amsoil 15w40 retail for $25.70 a gallon and as Drew said Genos has a good price on both filters. Now in the winter time I do have the dealer install my oil and filter and I have them lube the front U-joint and they only charge me $12.84 with tax.

Now $15.80 was a good price for the high idle set up even though some say they get it done for free. I know mine did not do it for free and it was 2x more then what it cost you.

Just what it sounds like, You can turn on your cruise , and the speed up the engine while sitting in Park , I thought that is was governed at 1200rpm, but when testing mine , I took it up past 1500.

This is better for your engine, then just letting it idle.

I was wondering where you've been King. I thought that maybe you were off on another one of your cross country excursions.

We went for another cruise, in Jan, then I got real sick with the flue, for 2 1/2 weeks, even ended up in the hospital for 1/2 a day, then another cruise, and we just got back from that one, on the week end, one more cruise this winter in two weeks , then atv fun time, all over Ontario begins.
thanks for asking.
Ralph
