These training classes are geared to the installer/fleet market. If you are "mechanical", this class is for you. There's 36 guys like me out there and we all hold these classes at various dealers around the country. I'm trying to develop a way to post them to you guys & girls but I've got to get the info from my guys first. I posted a 6.4 class announcement under the 6.4 section but the moderator hasn't "cleared" it yet. I'm a newbee working towards 25 posts. The 6.4 class will be the evening of September 16 at Sunbury Motors, Sunbury, PA. (about an hour north of Harrisburg, PA) Times/food are the same. RSVP to Rick Troutman in parts.

Hey Paulfreda,
Do you think you guys will be doing any 6.0 classes in the south-east area? Im down in TN (just outside of chattanooga) and I would love to attend one of these.
Is there an online schedule we can look at?
