Anyone know if this is normal. I had the truck suspension checked by the dealership for a squeak i was hearing in the rear end. they replaced the ruber bushings in the leaf springs. I was putting back on my offroad belly armor and found this. My armor does not sit right now and its the weekend.

Thanks

Looks like ike a loose body to frame mount. Not sure if that's something that they did during leaft spring service or if it's been like that from the factory. There's been plenty of people with crooked bodies mounted to the frame. Might just be more shoddy GM work.
 
I think it was done at the Dealer beacause the armor fit before and now it does not and there are also new parts. here are more pics should I be worried.

I'd send the pictures to the dealer service advisor. Either tighten them up and drive it in or have it towed. A couple of them look really loose, not sure you should drive far or fast. Be safe!
 
that diff mount bolt may be loose. but the diff bushing bolts and the torsion bars look normal
 
If the Dealer had to change the seals on the oil cooler, would they have to loosen or take any of that off to get to it?

Not sure, but it isn't uncommon to raise or pull the cab for motor repairs. Everything is hard to access on these rigs nowadays. Looks to me like they loosened it up to get the clearance they needed and at 4 o'clock they just said "fuck it, let's go to happy hour".

So just got to dealer, The director admitted the mistake and I had a list of demands.
1 gal transmission fluid
1 quar dex-cool
3 gal diesel oil
32 oz power steering fluid
1 fuel filter kit
1 n95 cabin air filter
1 oil filter
1 engine air filter
1 fuel/water separator
1 set rear and front disc brake pads.

I got everything I asked for except for drive belts and pulleys.

They agreed to give me the parts and put my vehicle right into the bay to fix.
