- The shop was convinced last week it was a casting issue as well, since one side fit fine, and the other "didn't." They were so convinced, they got a replacement pair of calipers overnighted to them, which arrived today, and promptly encountered the same issue.
They basically threw their hands up today and said they tried everything (though the pic of uneven lugs makes me skeptical), and couldn't do any more.
I know they've had it in their shop a few days already, tried two different sets of calipers, and (at least i'd hope, though nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the american public) tried to secure multiple lugnuts at least once. I don't doubt that they put a lot of labor into it, but I do doubt the quality thereof.
That said, they threw on some new stock rotors and pads and called it a day. Which sucks...and as soon as I get home i'm going to try to do it myself, but it's not the end of the world.
The few other things i've done to this truck has been easy and successful. It's not a lot relatively speaking, but it is for me - airbags in rear suspension, trans cooler, some other minor items. I don't know why I chickened out on brakes, but wish I hadn't, at least before trying myself.

- you said you had the same issue. Did you encounter the issue on both sides, or just one side? And agreed - this shop is probably done taking customer parts...or at least they are from me!
