Pit,
Good point - won't hurt anything to see if he can clear it out with several changeouts. Doug would be well advised to also spend 30 minutes removing the front diff vent tube and replacing it with a 3 foot piece of 1/4 inch fuel line up into the engine bay. Would stop the huge pressure differentials that occur with that thing. See other posts on the front diff vent for clarification.
Also Doug, you should bring your registration (has your VIN on it) into both dealers and politely ask if they'd provide you with a paper copy of what's been done at their store. If you give them the indication you want to take it home with you and develop a maintenance plan to be done at the dealership it might go easier. Also, don't try this on a Monday or a Friday, or at 8 am on any day. These are peak times for the Service Dept and going when things are slow would be key. Walking in the door with a cup of coffee from one of your Seattle brewers for the lucky service writer might be a good call, as well.
