    But just think of all the pollution your causing with your 'OLD' truck!

    Had you bought new, all you'd be throwing out the exhaust is windex!:biggrin_25525:

    Me too. If it was good enough it '04 when it was made, it's good enough now.

    Exactly, there are no trees that need a hug on this forum. ;)

    Of course they charge top price ($113/hr) and do every dam thing by the FLAT RATE HOUR book. At least Petro charges by the 1/2hr...of course there, you get what you pay for... :biggrin_25513:[/QUOTE] 113 Hr is ridiculous don't this big dealers know the money isn't out there to charge this:biggrin_25513::biggrin_25513::biggrin_25513::biggrin_25513:

    Once in awhile they throw me a bone and do something for say $50.
    Most of the time (99.999%) they charge FLAT RATE.

    Found the issue with my rock screen being installed incorrectly....today they told me that there wasnt much to adjust and that I might have to live with it. But I haven't seen a W900 look like this.

    So I was chatting with 'blackw900' today and he got on the wire with his KW shop. We did some comparisons...gee turns out that my KW shop ordered the WRONG screen. Who-da-thunk?

    No wonder it didnt fit and looked like crap....

    So I emailed the SM my findings. I am waiting on a return email or call.
    But it has only been 4hrs...I need to learn patience...

    I couldn't find the 'tongue in cheek' smiley...

    My 'new' truck is the same year and motor that you've got, I think...

    I'm gonna run it 'till the wheels fall off.
