flawrence, ya'll. geting another something fixed on my american sprinter tomorrow.
dropped at g'town toyo this afternoon. had an interesting experience. parked on the ramp and carried in the tray of brake parts. kid on the dock said to go to the glass building. it was shift change and they were having their meeting. after it broke up gracie and i continued to stand around at a desk with the tray of parts. finally i went upstairs looking for someone. woman and a man looked at me. woman has passed me 3 times(gracie told me to stop looking at her butt(okay she used the other word)). fella said that receiving was downstairs. so i tramp downstairs. go into a now staffed office and offer the ppwk and the guy at the desk says.....what are these? why did you bring them here?
"well sir the inst were to bring them here. gate guard directed me to the orange dorr. kid on the dock sent me here. stood around being ignored and the folks up stairs said to come down here. "
he looks at the parts still pondering them and looking at the ppwk. i said...i need a written and printed signiture on the top sheet, please. he signs and hands it to me. i look at it. unreadable.i say could i have a printed also? thanks.
gotta say..toyo has pretty bad security of 2 strangers can stand in their building with no escort and be ignored by everyone on a shift. guess the uaw IS making inroads into the foreign car plants afteral.

U all save me some freight, coming off this milk run between Knoxville to Nashville, and will be back in the real world come Monday. Me my old Dodge one ton, faded Maroon, with a few battle scars in places, got a platform on the back and two blue containers for my pack rat ways. Oboy, know u all are jumping for joy, can say I didn't warn u.............lol
Looks like you are on the ball again Guido. I also noticed there were a lot of Bolt guys on the alliance search sitting in Laredo waiting for loads. tha'st pretty unusual. Did you happen to ask any of them how long they have been sitting out there?

I was towed into Poplar Bluff, MO last night. I was on my way to St Louis to have the dealership look at the rear end and front end. Noise coming from front and back after having major work in both areas three weeks ago. Instead of what I was expecting to fail the serpentine belt broke. Dealer had replaced the belts three weeks ago too.

Weather update there will be snow in Knoxville TN Wed Morning. That is all.
Now in Sauk Center Mn...supposed to be a real chiller here tonight & tomorrow...wind chills into the -20 range!
Your last repair guy didn't see the tensioner starting to pull away? That is the pits...

Get a load of this. They found the closest part at the dealership I originally had my appointment with (South County Dodge in St Louis). That dealership wouldn't release the part, because it's a frequently needed, backordered part. They claimed that they had to protect the FedEx sprinter fleet that they service. I called them and explained that I am one of their regular customers and missed my appointment with them this morning, because I was stranded due to a breakdown related to a job that they had done three weeks ago. They released the part. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

The service tech along with me think the same thing. Guess this is another job I'm going to have to learn how to do.

Unfortunate case of a part changer blinded by only looking at what he is doing at the moment and no further....maybe in hindsight you should have changed it just because...
but then again if its not broken why fix it...It is a tough delima we all face at times.
