The truck's been great. Having a back-up camera for my driveway is a godsend.
Firestone actually gave us 2 free tires to replace the ones that got shredded on the Ralliart. I though that was pretty fair since we definitely exceeded the miles of their alignment warranty by a good amount and also managed to get around half the life out of the tires we should have. They're sitting in the garage for now.
The Demon has been running good. Haven't driven it much due to the tranny leak. I got under there last weekend and did what I could. Felt some fluid on top so I figured it was coming from the plug I was using. Ended up destroying what was left of the threads in one of holes used in my shifter bracket. I slipped a 1/4" bolt through the hole and put a nut on the end of it for now. Got thread sealer on the plug and took it for a test spin. It's still leaking but not as much. My current theory is that it was never leaking from the plug at all and was coming up through that bolt hole. Got a Heli-Coil repair kit on the way to solve this problem for good. I REALLY want to use this as an excuse to get a QuickJack but I really can't be blowing that kinda money at the moment even if it might make this job a lot easier and safer.
