See My Profile,

Maybe you are not using all of your resources.

The Dealer is not the only GAME in town!

If you want to investigate a little, I will explain how to find find YOUR OWN PERSONAL INEXPENSIVE MECHANIC......Whom you can trust.....and will shoot straight with you.

Do I have your attention..............?

Ok, if you were to want to go fishing and want to find the right spot to fish.........Would you ask the salesman at the Sporting Goods Department at the DEPARTMENT STORE?

Or.......Would you want to ask the feller leaving the lake with 50 fish?

A NO BRAINER (Duh)

This is your line......." I need some information, WHAT MECHANIC, WOULD YOU SEND YOUR MAMA TO, IF YOU COULD NOT HELP HER YOURSELF???

You use your line at 3 or more of these Locations, AN AUTOMOTIVE SALVAGE YARD-----You should stick to smaller operations, where the owner knows everyone really well (their constant customers)

When you visit the other locations and get their ANSWERS.......sorta "sling" out the names you already have gotten.....(2nd opinions!!!)

Now, its like Hiring you a new "Waitress".......You have choices.......and RELIABLE references!!!

The Salvage yard guys KNOW WHO WILL DO YOU RIGHT and who takes forever and who takes SHORTCUTS............They are your FISHERMEN!

Now if you liked that little story,

Go to FEEDBACK....Make me sound good to my next victim.....give me MEGA POINTS......so I can catch up to the other fellers!

If you would like me to help some more, maybe I could, maybe not.....Remember, I'm a CJ Guy....I know some about your rig.....but not the computer stuff......This is sorta my hobby.

If you Reply to this post, now, or a year from now....I will get an alert....You will get me again, soon as I see the alert.

If you submit a new question....you might get anybody......Maybe a certified guy who knows your rig better

Please return and let me know if this works for you!
