Now it gets interesting. I raise hell at the dealership and threaten to return the truck. They tell me that they need to get a “3rd party kit” and hire an outside installer to do the remote start. This apparently will take more time to coordinate. Since I don’t really want to return the truck (and I don’t feel like waiting anymore), I give them an alternative solution. I tell the manager that if they install a bed extender we can forget this whole fiasco and call it a day. Done deal.
But wait ...there’s more. So they order the bed extender and three days later I get a call from the service department - “Good day Mr. A, we just want to let you know that your remote starter is here. When would you like to drop the truck off?”
WTF?!? So after more back and forth with the service department, I find out that an OEM starter (again WTF?!?) kit and the bed extender have arrived and are ready to be installed. For my troubles, the service manager offers me the extender at dealer cost. I take it.
So I dropped off the truck yesterday. I’ll post up in a few days when I get it back. Stay tuned...
