And why I would not buy a particular brand. Service, parts availability, proximity from parts warehouse dealer, and my proximity to the dealer all went into the brand of tuck I bought. Appeal to the manager without trying to throw anyone under the bus. Focus on hard times and you can't afford to be led down the path with misinformation.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you find you just hit a wall. I'd be evaluating that brand of truck or the donk in it. I won't buy a Cummins over being treated like #### on a $2500 exhaust brake that failed 1 month out of its 12 month warranty. Feel I learnt a lesson on company policy, and dodged a bullet for the future. Pointless me buying a Mack or Volvo as their service is like dealing with a headless chicken. Plus they are a little far away and difficult to get to and from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
