That supercharger makes a distinct wur. Almost sounds like you have a jet engine in there. How about some pics?

Very nice ride! Even if it does have a bent frame! J/K did you end up giving up on the dealers fixing?

[tbyrne]

Not giving up yet. I know someone that owns a company that builds truck bodies.He took a look at it last week and quickly said that it should be something that is covered under warranty. He set me up with an appointment with a dealer that only sells GM trucks. They work on these everyday so I trust that they will be able to tell me what happened and possible get this covered.

For those of you that are wondering... In a nutshell I pull a 24" enclosed car hauler that weighs about 9200l lbs. One day I noticed that the bumper was down a little with the trailer attached. When I got under there I found that bolts that hold teh hitch on were backing out. When the dealer looked at it he said that the frame was bent in the rear and it wasn't covered under warranty because I either backed into something (didn't happen) or I overloaded the tongue weight. The truck is rated for a max tonque weight of 1500 lbs and I put 500 lbs on it. They still stick to their story and don't want to cover it.
