That’s some BS. Get a refund and take your business elsewhere.

Added some cheap walmart seat covers the other day, rearranged driver seat today.
Fit is OK ish, nothing great. The cooling gel is kinda situational and it SEEMS heat saturation can overcome the effect... I'll know more soon.

This shop is to be avoided! If they could not do a simple alignment with all the proper equipment, they are garbage! Highly recommend going elsewhere and definitely requesting a refund for services NOT rendered from the first shop. If the "experienced" tech was not available, why the fudge would the putz who knows jack $h!t touch your ride then?? I would also leave a detailed and worded review on Google so others were informed about the lack of experience, knowledge, and customer service. Just my two cents. Please keep us posted.
EDIT: Please share this shop name/location as well as the shop that actually corrects this, so others here are aware

Mine has settled a bit in both front and back and is now 36" front and 37.5" rear. FYI.
Tried to get it aligned again, its not good news.
I had taken it to firestone because I got a deal on their lifetime alignment service. They said the tech didnt know how to do it and to come back Saturday when they had a more experienced guy working.
So I went back this morning, and it turns out the first guy destroyed the cambolts to the point where only one of them works as intended now. The rest just spin and do nothing. Then they tried to blame the installer for installing them wrong, bullshit, I did it myself. Then they tried to blame the bolts for being defective. Long story long, I got my money back and theyre reimbursing me for new cambolts. I ordered OEM ones,but meanwhile I still cant drive my truck, it’s rubbing like crazy.
Maybe I’ll just have the dealer align it when the bolts come in, nobody else seems to want to touch it.

That sucks. It’ll be good as new soon. But that is definitely frustrating.

Got 26.87mpg today over a stretch. Fairly happy about that
Is that hand calculated at the pump? Coz that dash mpg gauge is often way too optimistic...

Pump. Usually display is high.
Frontinator truck things trip
AZ-KS-AZ journey... currently in Santa Rosa, NM Full on truckish things pending. Meanwhile, some observations: * Cheap seat cover gel stuff... works! As expected the effect is overcome with enough seat time. Doesn't seem to get hot though. Wasn't tracking closely but cooling seemed to work...

Not too shabby... must be lots of downhills and tailwinds where you're driving 😁Pump. Usually display is high.

"over a stretch" kinda says it all, if the other stretch was calculated it would be like 14-15mpg. This is why you calculate from a full tank and not just for a few miles.

~300 miles... hardly a short run. Conditions were favorable.
My overall mpg is good considering I wasn't trying, you an follow along here but won't have updates for a few days
I stop for breaks not to empty the tank 😉

No, that is average including stops, small towns, and tooling around Flagstaff for a while
Just finished installing the Bedrug on my CC ProX.
Took a while mostly because I’m older and broken.
