    One thing I like about this place is all the 100 watt bulbs we got. You could hang out in the TS and you'd spend a week sorting through 40 watters before you'd fill an egg carton with good'uns.

    Not necessarily picking on you in particular, but this seems to be the attitude and the difference between today's steering wheel holders, and yesterday's drivers.

    It's a new truck. I wouldn't fix it when there is a factory recall. Let the dealer do the free work and document it.

    Yes, you are wrong, AGAIN. I am sure I could fix it myself but I have asked the shops 3 times to do their job and they have been too lazy to do it. I drive a company truck and they should maintain it for me. Give me all the flack you want for this attitude if you feel the need but it is their equipment. I will care for it like it's my own but they do not pay me to work on it too. Heck, they barely pay me to drive it for that matter.

    For the record, Cassie will see the inside of the shop everytime I am in Jackson or Atlanta. I believe that if a vehicle is maintained properly it will last longer. I get very familiar with the vehicles I drive and can tell you what's wrong with it easily. I only ask that you fix what I tell you.

    Now fire away with the negative comments...I'm ready!

    Hahahahaaa

    You think shop mechanics will ever respect the opinion of a driver?

    I learned that will never happen, in the first few months of my driving career... sorry to say.

    So instead of putting out a little effort to learn something that is beyond simple you think it makes sense to waste a whole bunch of time with the shop and drive around blinding people until it eventually gets taken care of. To each their own I guess.

    I think Condo Cruiser just took Pete's place in my heart!

    :biggrin_25514:

    I am going to get with road breakdown and have it fixed this weekend! Thank you soooooooo much!!!

    And that tidbit of info just stands to backup my statement that I am "in tune" with my vehicle as I said in my previous post. Take that all you haters!:biggrin_25522:
