As you are getting into town a laundrymat on the south side of the road that is cheap and clean....aircard service is great too...unlike the J where bars are more like waves...

So much for getting "American Slop Buckets" fixed anywhere and having any dealership mechanic know what they are doing...:mad:

After calling no less then 7 CHEVROLET dealerships, I am now sitting in 1 in Birmingham Al having the Flywheel (flexplate) in my American Slop Bucket replaced.....

The idoit that ordered the broken heat sheild and sent me down the road got an ear full yesterday as 2 dealerships could nt find any broke or loose heatshields anywhere on this truck...

Way 7 dealerships?? Well the 1st 1 only had 1 HD truck rack and it was being used and wouldn't be open until tuesday!! 4 other dealers could not lift the truck, it was too big for their lifts(bs) 1 couldn't touch it till fri. The one I am at has bent over backwards to get me taken care of...so its all good now, but don't ever tell me that you can get a Chevy/Ford fixed anywhere when you have to wait to get a Spinter fixed....it ain't so anymore....

The funny thing on these dealerships not being able to lift it, they all sell Cube vans!! The issue seems to be that they are not planning the service depts right..alot of dealerships are or have updated their lifts recently....they are putting in "Twin post" above ground lifts that have a "tie bar" across the top of them....they aren't tall enough to lift even the std cubes they sell to a height that will let them remove the transmission....it is a joke....I have no idea how GM lets them sell units they can't totally repair....

Yea its GM and yea i bought their product and I would again..but the issue of how the dealers setup their shops, while I know GM has input and control to a certain point, the dealers just aren't thing ahead...I had 3 service advisors tell me i was "preaching to the choir" when i complained that they did a pizz poor job of setting up their service depts...owners don't want to spend the money...

That is why when Dodge had the Sprinter..they had Sprinter only dealers...the shops were equipped for them....some regular Dodge dealers can't lift us either because of the height
