VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DEFROST ON MY TRUCK DOES NOT FUNTION PROPERLY. IT MAY TAKE UP TO 15 TO 20 MINUTES FOR MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW TO CLEAR. THE WINDOWS ARE CLEAR WHEN I PULL OUT OF THE GARAGE. AS I AM TRAVELING TO MY DESTINATION THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER AND PSSENGER WINDOWS FOG UP. I USUALLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL IT CLEARS. I LET MY TRUCK WARM UP BEFORE LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY SO THE AIR COMING OUT IS WARM. MOST OF THE TIME I MAY HAVE AN 8 INCH CIRCLE TO SEE OUT OF. IF I WIPE IT OFF IT COMES BACK AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014. I DIDN'T LIKE BUT I WAS LIVING WITH IT. BUT THIS IS CERTAINLY A HAZARD TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS.

WHEELS
VIBRATION FOR THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NEW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY BALANCED THE TIRES IN 7 MAR 2012. NO CHANGE VIBRATION STILL THERE. TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE REBALANCED STILL NO GO. I WROTE IT OFF THINKING THIS WAS NORMAL FOR 2500 SERIES TRUCKS. AUG 2015 I UPGRADED THE RIMS TO FORGED J RATED 6,600LBS AND TIRES TO H RATED 4,940LBS. BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER AIR PRESSURE THIS MADE THE VIBRATION WORSE. I PUT THE TRUCK ON JACK STANDS AND RAN IT IN GEAR TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. WHAT I FOUND BOTH REAR AXLE HUBS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE WHEELS TO WOBBLE SEVERELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INITIALLY DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME AND I HAD A VIDEO OF IT. THEY FINALLY LOOKED AT THE VIDEO AND WENT TO CHECK OUT THE TRUCK. AN HOUR LATER THEY CALL PAYING THE TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICKUP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY OUT .015THS. I A TRAINED MECHANIC AND THIS IS SIMPLY BS. I CAN SEE THE WOBBLE WITH BY BARE EYES THAT'S MORE THAN .O15 THOUSANDS. ON TOP OF THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD 96000 PLUS MILES ON IT ATT. THE DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT THIS AND BASICALLY WROTE IT OFF. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS BUT IT'S TOO BIG TO SEND AND IT'S IN WMV FORMAT. PLEASE GIVE ME AN ADDRESS AND POINT OF CONTACT SO I CAN SEND YOU THE CD. THE VIDEO SAYS IT ALL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE LEAVING OUR HOUSE TO GO TO WORK THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SIGNAL/ ANTI SKID DASHBOARD CAME ON AND THE TRUCK REFUSED TO GO. IT HAD NOT POWER. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. AFTER THAT THE STABILITRAK AND THE ANTI SKID AND THE ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON TAKING AWAY MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND MAKING MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I ALSO HAUL MY HORSE SO IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO MOVE MY HORSE ANYWHERE WHEN THIS SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT HAS NOT COME ON WHILE HAULING ANYTHING. IT COMES ON RANDOMLY WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WEIGHT IN OR ON THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.
