Actually, I'm 5 months OUT of warranty. I could tell by the gunk in the degass bottle that it would take some time to clean this out of everything. They told me there is a kit, around 300 bucks that would permanently fix this issue whereas in the past they were fixing it and it would happen again. Considering how much I tow with this truck, and I'm ashamed to admit I was hauling 30,000lbs gross weight (truck, grain cart and oats) and regularly tow 14,000 lbs I can't complain about the truck. Sounds like I'm getting a fair price and that's all I can ask for.
