But the passangers side rail is still bowed. The service writer told me today that BOTH rails were bowed and that is how they are supposed to be. I have a loaner 07 which does not have this problem. Does anybody else have this problem? If so do you have any pics laying around?

The other problem that I am having is: When I am driving the truck and it has reached full temperature and I stomp on it for less then a few seconds the temp gauge drops down about half way from where the needle usually sits. Then goes back up to the normal range in seconds. The dealer said they replaced the temp sensor, and did something with the waterpump, but it still does it. They took out a "random" truck on the lot and said that it does the same thing. Does anyone else have this presistant problem, particulary those in colder climates?

my roof rail are also bowed or warped nesr the middle, about half inch. told the service dept but they didnt do anything, i dont see it as a problem unless water intrusion is an issue or looks. It cant be seen without getting on top, and i dont really know if it can let water in.

As for teh temp drop, i beleive that is normal. mine does it. Someone said something about this on here before. the reason for this is when you increase teh rpm of teh engine the cooling system gets to do its job, theres a higher rate of flow thtough the cooling system, so it is more efficient at taking away the heat. I bet f5 would be able to tell you for sure, but i think it is absolutely normal. actually now that i think of it he might have been the one who stated that about the cooling system, im not sure thou.
