Okay, no luck with Ed Bozerth for me so i'm going to call Hajek in Longmont. My dad has worked there for about 20 years.

It didn't...........yet. With the cost of a new garage going up, I opted to hold out for a while and got some of the Armordillo to hold me over.

EASY The hardest thing was the taping off of the truck. It took the longest, around a 6 hours. You dont realize how much surface area there is on your truck until your trying to cover it with rolls of tape and plastic. Mine isnt cladded so there was a little extra.  As you can see, it was needed and I couldnt get any assistance from GM...Im not a happy person about their service. Thats another story in which I have been known to rant and rave for hours on, perhaps at a later date. Check out that link, I spelled it out pretty well I think.

I contacted three GM dealerships here in Denver and only one of the service people that I spoke with knew about the Gatorback treatment. All three tried to sell me on the Armordillo which i already had and the one that knew what I was talking about did offer me a deal on the labor part but they did not offer any direct support because it is not a factory supported maintence item.
Looks like I'll be doing it here at home as soon as the garage goes up.
