    I thought you were gonna say that you paid $950 for you cat's surgery, and 10 minutes after you got home she got run over. What a waste of $$. Thank goodness it is only your truck.
     
    Shock Therapy and G13Tomcat Thank this.

    They'll spend about 3 or 4 hours putting it through all kinds of computer test sequences, then they'll fix the corroded ECM connection in the battery box, which takes about 10 minutes... and charge you $1000.

    They have owner operators over a barrel. I'd prefer a glider kit with an older mechanical engine, say a nice fresh 3406 possibly a 3408 in a dream a 1693 but in an other few years you won't be able to keep them on the road.
    Even the carriers won't lease your tractors now if their mechanical.
    Even though the mechanical power is superior / more dependable.
    The big carriers don't care too much. They get nice compensation from the manufacturer a d the government.
    Times are a changin...

    Good thing kitties have nine lives or more depending on the size of the pocket feeding it.
