I would have been in a mess if I had your troubles. I tried Kenworth dealer they were taking longer to even look at it than I had time.

We just about have to do it on our own. Like you said down time is a killer. I wasted a couple hours at dealership. Some guys had been there for a few days. One was getting King pins replaced. This is at a 24 hour shop. I was like not me I will have to try on my on.

You are learning... These shops will eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner, then send you down the road broke... Worst part, they rarely ever fix the issue. The only time I go to a shop is if the job is to big, too big in a mechanical way that requires lifting the truck.

The mechanic at my local TA can do a brake job much faster than myself, and much cheaper when everything is considered. That is shop stuff... Or if it is -30 out, it goes to the shop if it is something that requires immediate attention and is a quick repair. If it is a longer repair, I'll bite the bullet and do it myself.

Electrical, or sensor related, I do that. Minor repairs, like fixing that front engine cover leak, I do that. Overhead, I do that... Installing the new Air Compressor, I do that... Replacing a CAC, I do that. Anything requiring a jack or pit, it goes in. I cannot get under this truck, damn thing sits to low, and I hate taking the tires off, even though I have the tools.

I have never worked on a truck so much in my life... This new equipment is just junk.
