Wish you the best. I went through an ordeal to get it fixed that I hope no one has to go through.
Perhaps you can reference this thread and not have the dealership try to replace the valve and go to a straight transmission swap out.
No, I bolted them over. They work quite well. I had the drop-down steps before and mangled them on a trail. I returned to the stock rails, and the family hated not having a step. This solution was the happy medium.
Did UnitedRadio stay in contact with you during the process? I sent mine in, and it was delivered last Tuesday. I haven't heard anything from them...yet
