First major issue with my truck....

ah, so you're a mechanic...so you know what you can get away with and what you cant? You know its better for the company/dealership you work for to somehow void a warranty repair so u can charge the truck owner. Whos to say that the mechanic didn't beat on the starter just to void the warranty. I'd me his word against mine, too, yeah??

 

yeah...and i've tapped into just about every dollar in that account with this repair. $320 for the first visit to the repair shop, another $500 this time, and $350 for 2 service calls. I have $1800 in my maint. account...and this one problem has sucked up about all of that. Lets not even count the $1800 in income from that first weekend of loads i ended up losing cause of this problem. But like i said, this is strike 2 for this truck with this problem. one more, and its going back to swift, and they can find me another T660.

i'm bringing in $1000 a week, but being in the shop every 2-3 weeks is just killin' me.

 

yeah, you got a whole one more year experience than me.....you sure know alot more than i do....

i do know one thing, this is the last time i take the truck to the Kenworth in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Who is to say the mechanic there didn't beat or bang on the starter cause he knew it'd void the warranty? unless i stand right there the whole time the truck is in the shop...which i couldnt do..

 

you worked with swift for that 800-1200? i highly doubt that.
