    Split Armrest Issue

    Thank you for your offer to help. I have never had problems of any kind with this dealership since 1989 . I believe the screwup stems from the owner's health problems and a personality problem with the new parts manager . It is a old family dealership and there have been a lot of changes over...

    Oil dripping off oil filter

    I have had the double gasket happen before . It usually leaks when oil pressure builds up. On a diesel you find out real quick :eek: .I'll check the filter and go ahead with a oil change while I have it in the air . Anything else I should look at while I am under there ?
