Stevens Ford in Milford.
Because of the size of my van, it has to go into the only high bay they have.
Their only diesel - tranny mechanic works out of that high bay.
Only once was I over at Gabriellies??? in Milford behind the Pilot truck stop, and I am not inclined to go back there again.

Strange that they would tie up a lift waiting for a warranty inspection. Let's see...labor rate...$80 per hour times 10 hours = $800 times 2 = $1600 in lost billable hours. The warranty company isn't going to reimburse them for that time. It would seem to me that they could have managed to move that vehicle...somewhere...somehow!!!
we just dropped ours to $80, in an effort to bring work in.
and whats this BS about needing a lift.......we dont have a single lift in our shop, i dont think your van is low enough to require one. gotta love the sissy car mechanics. tell the *******s to go buy a creeper and get wrenching.
well i had enough of babysitting drunken idiots all weekend, and then work today.......so many things i should be working on but i said SCREW IT and came home. now to find food.......

Evening, everyone. Made the trip up to Tractor Supply in Enfield today.
Picked up 30 fence posts, 2 rolls of barbed wire, some square field wire, 50lbs of fencing staples (overkill much?) and a diamondplate crossbody toolbox for my truck.
So I plan on putting in my new cross-body tomorrow. Will get pics. I'd have gotten the weatherguard, but it was 550$ as opposed to like 300$ for the TSC brand and I wasn't paying for it so I decided to not press my luck. Plus the latches on the weatherguard looked like a PITA. It looked like you needed the key every time you wanted to open it. The TSC one has buttons with a good latching setup.

I was looking for a PC300 and thought you train fellas might find that interesting.

Me? Nothing. We're not getting it I just thought you train obsessed folks would be interested in it. It looks like it would straddle a rail car and be able to scoop out the contents.
I just want a regular PC300 excavator with a bucket so I can go dig big holes.
And a Komatsu PC300 is about the equivalent of a CAT 330. It's just a nice big excavator.
