That`s a very vague description of what vehicle this covers.
It didn`t say anything about 2WD - 4WD

The link worked for me. "No Incomplete Recalls or Customer Satisfaction Notifications Exist" I did have the roll over hoses done. I'm with DrDiesel.....kinda vague.

Hey John. Where did you pull this info from and why did it not list drive type.
The info I saw clearly states 1500... Yours has 2500 listed.
Did you retype it and add the 2500.
