I had my recall done last week, and surprisingly it only took 1.75 hrs compared to the 3-3.5 they estimated. I was glad, because I had to sit and wait for it. (didn't dealerships used to have loaners?)

I was figuring that anytime you replace a wear part like that, you should notice a difference in handling. I didn't. Maybe I just don't use my truck like a truck to notice a difference, or maybe mine weren't 'doomed' to fail in the long run, and the dropoff in performance wasn't there. At any rate, it feels like the same truck to me.

I think most people feel their vehicles run better after pulling out of the service bay or garage than when it was pulled in. Kind of a 'knowing it's better so it is' type deal. I'll confess, when I change oil, check fluids and shine'er up, it runs better--I know it must after a few hours of babying it! I'll get that feeling tomorrow, as I'll use the heated bay at work to detail the outside one last time before Ohio freezes over.
