If anyone would recommend any dealers to resolve these issues in OC, CA, I’d love suggestions.

Not just the dealer, but also recommend a good service advisor.

The dealer seemed short on advisors, so my advisor was actually the head shop foreman, which I figured would be better. Apparently not.

I thought the same thing but the shop foreman said no way it’s a battery that new, who knows. I know on my 18 gt350 though I get a message on my dash that tells me the fob battery is low, so figured the truck would do that too.

The fobs use coin batteries. These are the same batteries that power the computer you may be typing from’s CMOS. They get bought in BULK - hundreds, maybe thousands at a time and sit on the shelf until they get used. They’re also commonly used in red dot sights. Sometimes you get one that’s sat on the shelf and they stop working way early, other times you get a few years out of them. There’s no way to tell short of replacing the batteries. They’re not expensive, do that yourself.

Get over your fear of body shops. They do this kind of thing all the time. Those parts in the cab weren’t just THERE when the truck was born, someone installed them. Get the repair, ensure it’s to your satisfaction.

I’ve never seen a body shop do any repair that’s as good as the vehicle was from the factory. And on a 8 month old 85k truck that still feels brand new, I can’t accept any less honestly.

I don’t think you will be happy with the truck. You don’t want them to tear it apart, but worrisome if it broke. I say sell it in CA, go east and get a different one.

With the amount of issues I have you better get a retainer.

You know, that creaking sound familiar. I got one of those. Mine started after they took almost three weeks finding a vibration at 48 mph. They rebuild the transfer case, the hubs then finally found ring and piñon. My vibration would go away in 4A. Anyway, come to find out the bone heads left the cross member loose. Try putting a wrench on those bolts. Once tightened the squeaking stopped

Sadly this is kinda my gut feeling. I tend to keep vehicles a long time and just want to get the truck dialed in and keep it for the long haul. I sold my 20 quicker than I typically do because I felt the 5 link was a much better platform to build on.
