    And what makes it even more enjoyable is the outrageous shop rates a OEM changes to screw it up and it's even funnier to hear the BS excuses they try to give you when it still is not fixed correctly

    I had a Service shop bill me excessive time on labor when I asked about it I was told the tech had a hard time finding the correct part in the parts department. And I was being billed for it. They had no shame. Peterbilt shop.

    I just can't wrap my head around you folks seeing $200/hr shop rates. I don't think I've ever worked at a shop that was that high, even in Canadian Pesos lol.

    Yea, they think we’re rich pulling the high paying freight. Now, they just might be putting nails in the coffin. My local Peterbilt shop pretty much never has a wait to get anything worked on now.

    According to Freightliner S/S shop messed up, left something in the engine or got dirty.

    I tried renting a semi, but there was or is nothing available to rent.

    I had to argue n fight back n forth with S/S,
    But they did pay for the 2nd over haul at freightliner.
    That is why I took so long, 3 weeks of back n forth, 3 to get the kit from Detroit.
    Finally its done
    10 weeks down.

    When you say S/S, are you talking about Stewart and Stevenson?
