I don't think the owner of a new 30K truck should have to be looking for aftermarket rotors, just so they won't vibrate.

I simply told my dealer that I expect this vehicle to work as designed when it's new, and when it's under warranty, and that having "new" rotors machined to fix a warping problem that clearly must have been caused by something at the factory, is unacceptable to me. I made it clear that I would only accept new rotors and that I would persist until that was the case.

My Toyota dealer was more than accomodating, and I didn't have any problems (Toyota City, in the Twin Cities). That dealer was always very good to me and always solved problems I had without ever trying to go the "cheap" route.

I hope you have the same luck!

By the way, I think 65lbs for lug nut torque is asking for a wheel to fall off (IMHO). 90-100ft/lbs is typical for aluminum rims.
