Truck update

And those professionals are in business to make money—yet they don’t want the business.

Someone not wanting to sell their bread and butter to you is a red flag. Like when I wanted a 96% furnace (more expensive) instead of the 80%, 2 places didn’t push them and could go either way. Red flag went on inside my head (I learned they have to bury a chimney liner expense into the quote and more labor).

Lots of work out there, not enough capacity to handle the work. Why take a job that requires the very best skillets and has risk, when much easier churn and burn work is waiting in line to get done.

Unfortunate reality of today's service climate.

I like the 2500 if it's enough truck for your needs. "kick it on back Z71 like a Cadillac" lol.

I do too and it is probably more than enough.

How long did it take you to do a frame swap?

2 days

2 days

That is quicker than I expected!

I hustle. All the other slugs in the shop that truck would have been on the rack for 2 weeks. Or crying that their back hurts.
