Talked to the dealer yesterday, the Mechanic had one more to finish before he started on mine (they only have one diesel mech). Told the Service Manager about the TSB and my truck falls in the production window. Will keep you posted. Hope to hear something this evening on it.

The dealer called. It is the issue with the TSB concerning the instrument cluster. The engine parameter all check out on the computer. It is just giving a false indication. Bad news is 630.00 or so to fix it. I think I will look into an after market temp gauge or other options.

good deal...id do the SAME thing, this might be all you need -->
ScanGaugeII - Trip Computers + Digital Gauges + Scan Tool

If it were my truck...I'd buy that scangauge or some diagnostic
software (autoenginuity.com) QUICKLY, before i was out of warranty...
just to confirm the dealers findings (again before i was COMPLETELY
out of warranty) !

How sad it is that we should have to feel the need to confirm the dealers findings. I could'nt agree more,and am taking Bush's advice and ordering the ScangaugeII myself. I'm closing in on 100k real fast.
