I totally get it man. If it weren't for the fact that I've been struggling with this truck since last July, I don't think I would be as disappointed and frustrated as I am now.

And to top it all off, I called Clearwater this morning to let them know the valves touched, and I would need a new head. They are now telling me I have to tear the head off, and ship it back to them (on them) before they will send me a new head, which is not what they said yesterday. The salesman told me he didn't say anything about sending a new head, but only a new intake cam if needed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

It got pretty heated, and he said I was being unreasonable, stating the warranty policy does not allow them to just send me another head. My argument is this isn't a warranty issue, but a workmanship issue, and this is their problem. Not mine. Nevermind I have a rebuilt short block with dings in the pistons now because of their mistake. Or the new OEM head gasket I have to procure, and the hours of labor it is going to take me to tear the head off while the engine is in the truck, protect the engine from the elements while I wait for a new head, and replace everything. We're talking many hours of labor because of their mistake. Pardon the rant. My fuse is pretty short as of late.
