just like to say hi 1st ...been browseing site and alot of good info..great job guys... proud new owner of a 05 ext.cab d/a... Now heres my problem... I purchased truck a cpl weeks ago during a blizzard.. two days later while washing,noticed body damage on lower side of bed..called dealer and stopped by..they made good on it...But seems as if they tried blending the rear cab and whole side of bed..well sure enough under flurecent lights paint does not match nowCensored ... not happy after spending 36k and not having paint match..what steps do you think i have to go through to try and get put in another vehicle? appreciate any info...

don't know about getting into another vehicle, but you can complain with the service manager of the body shop. I am sure that they would make good on it. You are still under warrantee on the paint and stuff.

If they refuse, go talk to the dealership manager / owner. I am sure they don't want the reputation of shotty work. If it doesn't work, keep bugging them or go to another dealership and get a second opinion on it. My take is that someone will take in the warrantee work on it.

not that it maters but what color is your truck. Must be a light color with lots of metalic

Don’t know if your state has it, but lemon law would apply till they get it right. I had another Mfgs truck that they repaired and the white paint was turning yellow. I purchased an unrepaired truck and I wanted a new unrepaired truck PERIOD”

Well after they stopped laughing, I said thank you and left.

I sued them via the lemon law and three years later, I got my new truck and it cost them 60k for the privilege of giving me a new truck - that’s when I started laughing. :grd:

my sister in law works for gm there is a complaint line if your dealer won"t do right by you:grd:

I would let the dealer know....if they don't respond in a positive manner...go straight to GM.

thanks guys...the color of the truck is silver birch..and now looking at it better in sunlight can see sand marks...so the stealership will be getting a call 1st thing monday... and on another note had it in repair for the drone noise at 1500 and up...got the comment its "NORMAL"... UMMMMM OK...

I have painted that color many a times never had a color match problem. But the metalics will show snding marks if not prept properly
