21K?? Ouch!! Not to close the gate after the horse got out, but man you should have done a little more research. Put on a band-aid, suck it up, and enjoy the truck. Continual bitching about it won't fix anything 2cents.

21K for a truck, WOW. What was the rush that did not make you look around more? Heck one of the 6000 dollar trucks out in California hauled to you would have cost less. Any search for military vehicles would have come up with a number of companies that would have cost you less. On another note, can I borrow 600 bucks? I am not trying to bash you just understanding the mentality.

As for the problem now, save the headaches down the road hand them the money and put them in your mirror and never look back. You should now have more (and cheaper) resources for parts then you did before. Yeah it sucks but they are not new trucks, and can not be remade to be new no matter what you tried things will still go bad.

I had a buddy who worked in a dealership garage, they would pull a brand new vehicle off the lot and tear it down. When they did this the found half of a piston rod missing. so even brand new things can happen.

I need to get a new section since they used bondo near the hinges on the back side of the hood and one of the hinge sides is busting loose. Where can I get that whole metal piece behind the hood where the hinges connect for a 813?

What would you do?
I would pay them, and then move on. You may have some regrets, but bygones can be bygones. Enjoy your truck!

Isn't that piece part of the cab? I'm not sure, but I know they are prone to stress cracking there from vibration. Fender washers!
