Yep, I plan to check with the dealer tomorrow as well. Although the majority of folks didn't provide their serial numbers, I take minor comfort in the fact that there aren't any 2B transmissions on the list.
Gotcha, when you said you wondered how they narrowed it down, I assumed there must be numbers somewhere.
Reading the CSN, it doesn't appear they narrowed it down at all and are going to replace the K1 Snap Ring on every 2022 3500 with the Aisin.
Yeah, I looked at those pins to secure my Shocker hitch to the drop bar, but figured a pair of 5/8" grade 8 bolts torqued to 150 ft. lbs. with red thread locker would probably be just as secure. They'd need a pair of 15/16" wrenches/sockets and a lot of leverage to bust them free. Might even...
Edit: My bad--didn't see you canceled the 2022 and bought a 2023 . . .
Sounds like there's going to be a few dealers that get to eat the cost for performing the warranty work on 2022 trucks too early...
Trying to line a straight edge along that welded on plate isn't possible on mine due to the bead. It would probably be more accurate to lay the straight edge along one of the flat side plates and use calipers to take measurements of the space along hitch insert at a couple of points.
Yeah, I think the reason you see so many older ones still around is because folks are willing to put the money into fixing them due to their desirability where they wouldn't with a standard travel trailer. Having owned a couple, I wouldn't put durability at the top of the list of "pros". Ever...
I'd say it's more an issue of the "skin/shell" not being strong on its own. I haven't seen any issues in regards to the actual frame being weak. The skin needs to be riveted/attached to the frame/ribs to maintain its rigidity.
I believe this particular problem is a result of Airstream...
It's actually not the frame that's suffering the damage. The connection between the frame and the shell is getting damaged and causing additional damage to the shell when it shifts around.
