Hi Rufus,
Got a Commando ChickenHawk. Just a basic faire since I was thinking on upgrades after purchase. Mebbe tyres and LED light bar and spotlights. Other than that I love it the way it is. I'm the get it when I need it type so everything is more than adequate until something comes up...then I'll just research and buy when the time is right

Welcome, and congratz! Post some pics when you have the chance,
Thanks all!
So far everything is stock TH. I'm in Nevada so no heated seats and such lol.
It's in the shop for service now. Got it with 36 miles on it and drove it for awhile and wanted to feel and notice any kinks before I call service.
So far it's slight steering wheel alignment adjustment, satellite antenna connection was loose (connection to xm was shoddy), passenger headlamp adjustment plastic assembly was broken, and something to do with the gearbox shifting.
The last one was an issue with the shift column computer not sending info to the tranny properly so I would get jerky gear shifts.
When I get the whole report and papers I'll post it up so you all can see it in proper language since they have specific names for these things lol.

So.
I got the TH back and all the stuff is fixed so far.
When I looked at the order it said this:
#3 21CH: AUTOMATIC TRANS
C/S THE VEHICLE HAS A HARSH DOWNSHIFT - LOWER GEAR
S - INSPECT AND ADVISE
WORK PERFORMED BY (SERVICE DUDE)
CORRECTED BY
WORK PERFORMED BY (SERVICE DUDE)
INSTALLED 5ZM57HL1AA :SHIFTER: TOWER 5ZM QTY:1
FAULT CODE U0103. PERFORM DIAG TEST FOR FAULT CODE
REPLACE SHIFTER ASSY. TEST DRIVE. OK
So the issue was when I accelerate from 2nd to 3rd gear. Normally (since I've observed and tested this while driving) I start at 2nd and when it shifts to 3rd it would do so kinda abruptly on the "D" position of the stick. After the service it's been better but I still feel a jerk every now and again but i'm not complaining too much since it's been significantly reduced. I just have to break in the TH and see how it goes from there.
