DD15 won't run

Do mechanics not even try and troubleshoot anymore? I hate it when I can't nail it first shot. It's a pride thing lol. Hope they get you up and running soon.

 

The majority don't. I have $4500 in receipts for a/c repair to prove it.

 

did you pay that $4500 from your pocket ?

 

Guys like that make the rest of us techs look bad. I always troubleshoot and if I'm not 100% sure the part I'm looking at is the cause, I keep diagnosing. It's a real blow to my pride if I misdiagnose a failure lol.

 

Yes. Kinda hard to make someone else pay to fix my truck.

 

If I hadn't put my foot down at the dealer in Albuquerque, the third dealer I'd had it too, it would have been more. I gave specific instructions to clear all body controller codes before doing anything else. When I came in the next morning I was told I needed two flapper door motors and a pair of thermistors. Those were codes that were in the system when I bought the truck and had never been active. I told the service writer to get me a mechanic who knows how to read english and troubleshoot or close the ticket and I'd go elsewhere. ( I used slightly stronger langauge. ) 4 hours later my truck was finally fixed right. No flapper motors and no thermistors involved.

 

well Albuquerque's freightliner is different world. )))) another crazy place is Tucson's freightlier. few years a go I saw mechanic there with tattoos that ms-13 members usually have )))
