    Yeah I've just had issues with service at dealerships.. mainly them screwing things up and taking forever.
    Worst was that Kenworth of PA in Carlisle, cannot get any worse than that.
    Supposedly I needed a new fuel pump.. got my truck back and drove off the lot with fuel spraying all over my truck and trailer. My fuel gauge has also been screwed up since.
    I had them do a service on my APU, oil change etc and within the next 25000 miles I then had my APU spraying fuel all over the place and it's gotten worse and worse from a little drips to now puddles of fuel around my APU.
    Something I'm getting fixed currently.
    yeah yeah the fun times of being an IC

    Yeah that's one problem that never goes away, the fuel island wait time at the Peelots, Loves and etc.
    I seriously believe drivers AIM to get their 30 min break in with their time at the fuel inland.

    Don't have any photos yet, but I used the Schneider spec as a baseline and gave the dealer my target price (to make it worth the purchase) he met the price and included 8k worth of upgrades. Soooo, I added a chrome bumper, VIT (button tucked) interior, leather climate controlled seats, inverter with wall sockets, color choice, upgraded alternator, and a couple of small things I can't remember.

    Felt really lucky to get the financing, but I busted my rump to save cash and maintain the credit.

    Again, I have to give SFI a lot of credit. It was the lease with them that helped to put me in the position to make it all work.

    I still think the clutch slipping problem was caused by that, and the sister dealer coved their but by making it look like a warranty repair. Diesel fuel makes a pretty good lubricant.

    I'm on a 1 week vacation right now. I figured it would be a good time in between trucks. But it's sad because I'm kind of looking forward to Friday instead of enjoying vaca.
    Ordered a Wineguard antenna to mount on the rear of the cab for Dish programming. So happy to get to watch some football before the season is over. The terrestrial TV antenna has been driving me nuts going in and out.

    I had a check engine light on and Harrisburg KW told me it was because I had a "weak fuel pump", so they replaced it.
    Literally right when I drove off their lot I had fuel spraying everywhere and oh 500 miles later my clutch went out.
    Had no fuel spraying and no issues with my clutch ever until right after I gave my truck to the dealer then BAM!
    Yeah screw that place
