This stuff is typical in the IT industry. I almost took a Bank to court for breach contract over not being paid as agreed to in the contract. I was done with the assignment (which was signed completed by the president of the bank) and they simply refused to pay me. What a number of companies...

There is no difference between the two. the Sprinter is made by Mercedes. In Europe as a Mercedes and they (D-C) thought it would be better to market under Freightliner but chrysler needed a van and D-C did not want to have competing trucks in the same market. I hear this from the guys who are...

I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but they are the same vehicle and it only matters which dealer who you feel comfortable with. Yes it is true that there is 24 hour service at some freightliner dealers, but I talked to a few and they said that they will not service any Dodge sprinters...

Ali I drive a 1999 GMC G3500 Diesel, my fuel mileage is about 17 MPG and the cost per mile is 48¢. This cost includes everything to run the van and business but not wages or food. My intake is average 70¢ per mile, sometimes better. My average miles per month is 7000 but that may change for...

Ok I am wondering about something; How much time does it take for the dealer to change the oil in comparison to the quick lube place? The reason I ask is the labor charges are too high at the dealer and if the quick lube place takes 20 minutes to drain, change filer and fill than it seems that...

I am wondering what ever happened to D-C's polcy that thier five star dealers need to be competive with other service centers? $110? do they go to Germany for the filter and oil?

Whiterabbit The test is really not too bad; I was totally unprepared for it and had to take it twice but I did pass. The second test had 40% of the same questions that were on the first test. I don’t think the pool questions are large to begin with. I would highly recommend you read the...
