Decided to take on these problems and was making headway till I noticed this morning that paint is chipping off the passenger's side bed where it was repainted from the accident. When it rains it pours.... I'm off to the body shop this afternoon to talk to them about it.
Well it's been two days and 150 miles and I've been going the same routes, speeds, etc with the stock wheels up front. We think it's the right front aftermarket tire that has a hop in it even though it's balanced. We're going to replace the right front aftermarket tire and the left rear aftermarket tire since it has a flat spot in it.
DONE
Took apart the dash again last night and confirmed it was the quick clips I used on the stock ground wire for the sub. Cut into the wire and created a well sodered connection that ran to another well sodered connection for the ground wire.
So far it hasn't cut out or had it's static problems!
SCHEDULED TO FIX
Talked with the dealer again today. I'll be out of town the last week in August to Chicago and the dealer will have the truck on Monday and see what parts they'll need to order, then the body shop will have the truck Tuesday and Wednesday to fix the paint issue. Then the dealer will have it on Thursday to fix the seat.

Body shop said they'd buff it out for me when they repaint the other beside since the paint came off on the seem between the fender flare and the bed.

3. Over the weekend someone took four keys to the rear drivers door of my supercrew. They're not deep (can't feel them in the paint with finger) so I'm hoping I can use some 81 and Scratch-X to get them out. Here's to hours of detail and paint work to remove the 10 seconds of rude behavior by some ***** who will never amount to anything more in life then the sludge that gets pissed on in the gutter of an impoverished town that is plagued with terminal sickness. I'd like to take those keys to his skin and see how good he is at buffing those scratches out. Not that I'm upset or anything….
