well, it turns out that I haven't had to answer that question, but I would tell them the truth if they asked. I actually think they would let it go. So far they've been real straight with me and treat me real well, so I rather like to foster the win-win thing there. I've talked extensively with the service manager about fueling boxes and he knows I'm putting one in (he just doesn't know when or which one. they sell the bully dog box there in the dealership).<br><br>But, as far as they know, the #11 fuse blew, and it was the fuse itself that caused the problem. I didn't actually figure the whole thing out until after I got the truck home from the dealer. I had already signed the $0 paperwork and, at my request, they released the truck to me with some extra fuses &quot;just in case&quot;. The warrenty paperwork is already started, and it would get kind of messy and raise all kinds of you know what with DC itself if we were to pull back the paperwork, just for an hour's worth of shop time and a fuse. I'm an honest man, true, but I don't want to enable DC's bad behavior either or jeapordize someone else's dealer experience -- so I'm not willing to risk having them slap a restricted warranty on my vehicle just because, or to raise all sorts of visibility over this. I can just see the next TSB... <br><br>Anyway I believe I've taken the right course. and hopefully I'll get all the guys with comp boxes to make sure they're connected to the correct side of the fuse. thats the main thing.

 

Doug I am glad you got your truck problem worked out. I hate when I do something backwards like that, and to tell the truth I seem to do it more often as I get older. <br> <br> But had it been me I would have taken off my shoes and stuck my foot through a hole in the firewall to make contact with the battery and held the hot lead from the burnt out fuse in my teeth, thus making contact and bypassing the fuse long enough to get me home off the mountain. ;D<br> Or I could have walked out looking for a tow truck I do not know which :
