All very good replies to this thread. I've had 28 jobs, one lasted less than thirty minutes, the current job 18 years.
Funny story about a biscuit and gravy boy.
We had a rig that lost the 13spd so Gayle loaded up the 18spd I rebuilt and headed to the dealer shop where
it was being changed out. He also threw in a new clutch and related parts for the repair. At the time I was already
out on a tow retrieving a rig that had de-rated three times in two weeks, under warranty. I got back late to the
yard with it {11 pm} so decided to take it to same dealer next morning. I arrive at dealer drop the rig inside
their shop. The B&G boy was just getting the trans out of the other truck a 2003 Pete. I found out he spent
seven hours removing it. I made the comment maybe I should hook up to it and take it back to our shop.
He got pretty pi$$ed off called the service mgr over. I know the mgr well-his reply. {You are how old 26? Mike
is over 60-if had three 60 year old's like him I could send the rest of you home. And by the way you asked
how to hook the air lines to the shifter-ask Mike he can tell you off the top of his head.}
