Boondocker, awesome line. May I have permission to quote you ?

We've now had 3, (count 'em ) three '06s come through our shop with ONLY 1 quart of atf in the transfercase. My initial thought was it HAD to be a mistake. Either on our end, or the customers or Chrysler. It's now appearing it may be bean counters ? Wow, if that's the case... ..... :(
