Its only been at the dealer since Monday, this time. The Service Manager said they replaced the rear leaf springs and were installing new 05 shocks front and rear. I have no idea if they did anything with all of my other gripes. I just hope either they can fix EVERY problem or give me a new truck equal to mine except Black on Black!

It gets pretty hot here in Florida too but its just the price you have to pay for it. 
Nope, my suspension on my truck is stock other than the Daystar 2.5" leveling kit that I took off before I took the truck into the dealer. There is no difference between the 04 and 05 shocks, I don't think but they're brand new so I don't think they'll allow the truck to bounce all over the road. Its kind of cheesy if I can wear out stock shocks in 7500 miles.

I really don't know if they are or arn't different and I really don't baja my truck, I do take it offroad but I MOST of the time take it easy. There have been a few occassions where I have got a little nasty but nothing to make these shocks wear out as fast as they did. My dad's 2002 F-250 still has stock shocks with 100,000 miles on it and he drives the hell out of that thing, I've been trying to talk him into new shocks but hes too damn stubborn to change anything on his truck.

Maybe they changed them out early based on your steering wheel shudder and shimmy? Maybe they just can't find the source so their gonna replace the whole front end? You should ask...It might save you some time troubleshooting down the road if things don't get better, or they pop back up.
