    Checked the Peoplenet yesterday, and it has more fault codes now than before it went into the shop...I hope that place isn't like Poly's shop was when Hyatt was running it...there, the trucks came out with more issues than it went in with.

    Dropped an mt at the SC Poly facility a few weeks ago as I was headed home and they needed it. I casually remarked to the security officer that I had nearly taken a driving job there but was scared off by the number of truck issues.

    She was not surprised. :confused:

    My wife has knee issues also I dropped our pick up down a couple inches. It made a big difference for her getting in and out. It doesn't look half bad and no not like a low rider low lol

    Turned on my wipers to wash the dust and dirt off my windshield while loading up this afternoon and....the motor runs, but the wipers don't move...un-freeking believable. Lake City, FL Mack-Volvo has to be one of the worst dealerships in the network.

    Found the problem. The nut that holds the linkage to the motor wasn't even finger tight...I reached up and spun it off standing in the ground with my left hand, I didn't even have to climb up on the tire and use a wrench.

    Rivian looks good? That design looks like a truck I drew in the first grade.

    It’s a work in progress as expected, but yes..good news. I never wanted the split in the first place. But we’re working hard to make it work.

    I'd make sure the Lake City service dept, and someone higher up at SPD were made aware of this.

    Is that a nylon lock nut? You'd think it would call for one for that application.
