    One of the salesmen at my place of employment has one of these on order for a customer. It should be here in another week or two! I can't wait. The sticker on it is 110,000!!! The cab/ chassis alone was around 50k and the Monroe portion was another 50 or so. OUCH!

    Default Please see my 2WD C4500 pickup quality thread

    Please look at the new trucks for the same defects. Monroe makes great bells-and-whistles and people stare at these trucks in disbelief, but can you live with one?

    Sounds like QA is lacking on these trucks. My 2004 has been great, put on 40K miles first year out with only injectors replaced, under warranty.

    I'll be careful when considering a trade for newer model years...
