I hear stories about that kind of stuff all the time. I also do all my own work so I know going in to inspection every thing is good to go.

 

that's why you have to have a mechanic you can trust. i've known my mechanic's dad, brother, grandfather, mother and grand mother since i was a kid. great family, so i know he won't rip me off.

i wouldn't trust a dealership's shop EVER.

 

Thankfully, no issues and a fresh year of safety stickers. Do have to do brakes before spring, but that's not a big deal...everything else is good to go.

 

Morning folks. Meeting with one of our consultant engineering firms this morning...so I have my hands full

 

Good morning and have a sunny terrific Tuesday PA and Bill

 

I would have been very surprised if the truck didn't pass knowing how meticulous you are with your trucks

 

Good morning PA folks and all visitors.
Look's like a nice day shaping up out there today!

Morning Bill and Jim. Good luck with the consultants Bill!

 

Morning Jim and Craig. Meeting's not for an hour, I thought it was at 8....ugh.

I appreciate the compliment - I do work hard to take care of my stuff. Only thing with the OBS is that I don't have space at the house (won't fit in the garage and my house is situated on a hillside) to jack it up to check brakes, ball joints, etc. myself before I sent it in...so that was the question in my mind.

 

hi everyone. have fun in your meetings today bill. lol. (i hate all day meetings).

 

Good morning Pennsylvania, happy Tuesday.

The only thing worse than a meeting is a day full of meetings.

 

Good morning PA, I'm stalking Rob around this morning!


Meetings?? What is this "meetings" word you speak of......

 

Hi Rob, hi Pat.

Pat, new started didn't work. grrrr. A guy I work with said that the out of box failure rate is 10% to 15%. He used to work at a company that rebuilt these things. But it might not even be the starter. More investigation needed!

 

meetings. bleh. i've been lucky recently. no meetings for two or three days now!

 

You can take the starter in to some parts places, and they can test them. And, you can get the batter load tested also.

 

Howdy Steve. Hey, are the cables all pretty new? I had one that looked great, but had started to corrode inside... it was just beyond the clamp and under the rubber coating. Shorted everything out.
