| This problem has happenned to another vehicle in my fleet that was covered under the 2 yr/200,000 mile warranty. unfortunately, this truck isnt driven as hard and has exceeded the time limit on the warranty, however, the mileage is comparable with the other failure. i would think there would be other occurrences similar to mine. | |||
