Throw a fit. The dealer should fix it for you.

Had five guys out there looking at it fawning over their apologies. Part is ordered.

Now I just have to decide what I'm going to ask for extra.

I'm thinking first oil and fuel filter service.

Fuel filters (there are 2) and oil change service (12 qts T6), which I would normally do myself, is $180 in parts plus their labor. I think they charge $425 total.

Too much?

Ask for 3, accept 1.

The worse that can happen is they say "no".

$425 for basic maintenance? Sounds like the diesels are too expensive to own these days.

10K miles/annual.

That's why I do it myself for around $180.

Diesels are expensive to maintain, no doubt. Not saying you can't with a gasser, but I wouldn't pull with anything else.
