    6K labor at mhc KW, (still haven’t found the problem because paccar techs tell them to do the tests for finding the problem, then don’t reply back for 3-5 days) and second was this repair, just parts because I did that job.

    Line rubbed hole in top cover.
    Also Just ordered a new power steering pump that’s leaking around where it’s pressed, that’s another $970 2-3 week back order, so I won’t pay til they get it.

    They refused to do the wiring harness. Like they are MDs or something.

    Reason #5,786 to sell my truck. This is the #1 reason........."What's it gonna cost? Dunno. How long is it gonna take? Dunno. Do you have the parts? Don't think so."
    You know, O/O's think that company drivers are held by the balls. And I'm sure we are. That said, O/O's have 100 people holding THEM by the balls.
    Jus sayin.
    Not hatin on @Judge at all and I wish him the best, but this is the reason I sold my truck.

    At least I can grab another truck.
    One’s been at KW for 2 months yesterday, still haven’t found out why it’s showing misfire in cylinder 6.
    It’s a shame when you need 2-3 trucks as one person to be able not to be down for parts

    Yeah, well that would put a 1 truck o/o out of business.
    Again, I'm not hatin on anyone besides the repair people, but this is why I bailed out.
    Good luck and best wishes, @Judge .

    They wonder why people go ballistic.



    All it takes is someone messing with the wrong person and if I hadn’t seen the movie, I’d think maybe a mechanic kept charging him $200/hour(what i paid 30 hours labor $6,000 and hadn’t found the problem) and he went crazy.

    That is the main reason why i do my own maintenance. Better repairs. Better parts. And i know its been done right.
