Fellow esteemed drivers--- up for your consideration this morning:
I pose the following question.
Do you believe this tire would pass a DOT inspection??:
Shop foreman at Heartland--- swears it will!
so, after 7 hours in the shop--- still rolling down the highways with that tire.
7 hours in shop-- and they didn't fix the batteries-- nor did they even clean the terminals.
they did however-- replace the brake pads on the steer axle- and even Impressed me alittle--- first time I seen a mechanic actually use a torque wrench to torque the lug nuts down to spec.
They say they "tested" the batteries were fine-- however.....
4 hours after they finished with my truck-- after not completeing anything on my write up-- I bobtailed down to Wal-Mart ( Coralville, Ia) to grab a bite to eat and do a little shopping.
Turned into 3 hours waiting for International Road Service to come--- replace those batteries-- all dead cells! Yesterday-- the first service guy thought 2 of the 4 were bad.
Boy am I a happy camper! 7 hours being jerked off--- then another road service call-- all because, they don't do their job.
International service tech-- tested the cells with a working meter-- showed me the readings--- could only get 100 amps out of any of them-- instead of 750 amps.
