I am happy for you and thanks for the after repair feedback. Say, how loud is your Roush exhaust?

its alot louder than stock but it's throaty, very different sound. I really like it, much better than anything else out there ive heard.

Got another update for you guys, went to pick my truck up took it down the street and it started misfiring and falling on its face.

Went back to dealer to find all 8 of the new plugs had cracks in them, They only had 1 set in stock so i got to take a rental home. WTF!!

I was pooned trying to prevent myself from getting pooned, Jesus hates me!

That's great news! My truck is almost at 33k miles right now and it needs to go in for an oil change & tire rotation. I'm thinking about having them change out the plugs at the same time that way it's still under the factory warranty. What plugs did you have them changed out to?

They should have tested their repair efforts BEFORE sending you out to test them. I find it hard to believe all 8 plugs had cracks in them; unless the tec. cracked them trying to install them. That sucks but keep your head up Jesus doesn't hate you.

Default My truck is at the dealer right now...

dropped it off tonight for service tomorrow. Getting new plugs at 65K. I guess I have listened and it is better safe than sorry. It is $279 American as a piece of insurance. Pretty cheap I'd say.

I think the pack of plugs was dropped, Got to think about how many people had there hands on them and the opportunities they had for hitting the ground. I'm not stressing they gave me a rental to take home for the night. Too bad its a saturn!!!... hehe
