46 bucks for a gallon of Ultrapac???????????Jon-Don price 15.33
A $7000 bill for a blower replacement that didn't need to be replaced? With one month down time?
A manager that laughs at me for seeking and receiving advice from the bulletin boards?
Tried to sell me a Ninja 150 with heat for $3200 when all the rest of the dealers were at the same time in Canada charging $2300?
Tried to sell me a waterclaw for $1100? Jon-Don price $495.00

You mean that distributor I should support?

I did ask how much but in my first year I stayed on the straight and narrow for products I used. The truck problem was just a three ring circus.

Here's an example for you to follow. YOu are 100 miles from the nearest transmission shop and your tranny goes.
So you take your truck to the one and only transmission shop within 100 miles and they put the truck up on the hoist and have to fix it 4 times for you before your truck runs right and in the end they decide the hell with it they can't figure it out after swapping out every moving part on the driveline and still can't get it to run right so they decide to throw in a new transmission. And when you do get it back you find out that they turned down the trottle on your truck so it doesn't have the power it is supposed to have just in case they really didn't find the problem so it won't happen again. Now you get the bill and it is $7000. Oh and by the way they had the truck for a month for all but 3 jobs. It only did three jobs because it broke down after each job.

Don't forget that the closest transmission shop is 100 miles away and you don't have another truck to use.

Now what the hell would you have done?

Look corn-hole-driver the reason you don't trust people is because you are not trustworthy yourself.

To solve your problem look inward not outward.

What idiot would live 100 miles from a tranny shop?

If I lived that far from a car repair shop I would not own a car. And if I lived 100 miles from a truck mount repair guy I woulg go out and buy 5 Ninjas a say f**koff to any truck mount.

Remember a truck mount is like a Harley if you can't fix it yourself DO NOT BUY ONE!

We all live and learn. Truckmount repairs are at least 400 miles from me so I learned (with a little help from some local trades) to repair them myself.

YUP!!! you and splash got it right...if you can't fix it don't buy it. If you refuse to do research you'll get ripped.
