It's good to know that I'm not the only one that has days like this. I seem to have way too many of them though. ;0)

DOH! At times I think if it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all! Hope the truck is back right when all is done.

Got the old tub back today. Good as new. Body shop did a great job on the door. They ended up just fixing it, not replacing it. I'm happy with the repair.
The tailgate, they just beat it out and fitted a tailgate guard to it. Looks fine. Down the road, I will put a new tailgate on the old girl, so I wasn't overly concerned about it.

They gave me a 05 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4. Real nice truck, but a gas pig!!!!! Wasn't happy about the mileage on that one!!

I think thats gotta be some of the best folks to deal with in Alberta.

Cochrane Dodge treated me extremely well.

I had a turd V-10 that got worse and worse, they sent out two techs and a bunch of gear when I broke down and looked after all my costs.

I have a similar dealer in Crestview Chrysler here. Never even bought this truck from them and they help me out all the time.

I happen to have a big BIG dent in the top of my tailgate. I guess when your lifting a 600 pound train wheel strongman implement by yourself, and you don't quite get it high enough to go in the bed; Its gonna make a dent. Whoops. I was waiting for the forklift and got the notion that I could pop that in the bed. I missed by 2 inches. Should get a tailgate cap too.

LOL

That was not me struggling, that was the Ford we rolled it onto.

Really, I doubt a tailgate cap would've helped all that much.
