issues purchasing rotunda tools in canada

[sneakypete]

hello,

 

just started with ford recently and am trying to purchase flex probe kit nud105-r025d. I think this is the latest kit. my parts guys says he's unable to purchase from rotunda. anyone in Canada know of a number I can call rotunda to purchase this kit.

 

thanks.

To get in touch with Rotunda you have the following two options:

[*]Call 1-800-ROTUNDA

[*]Go to: http://rotunda.spx.com

Find the RTTP link in the FMC Dealer / InFord website when you are logged in. If you can't find it here is the direct link... however you will need your FMC Dealer / InFord login to access the RTTP site:

Welcome to the clan, hope you had a happy festivus/kwanza/christmas/hannukah.

 

My first suggestion would be to get a better partsmonger. Popular rotunda tools are rarely more than a few days away - and we live about 15 miles up shit creek from where you lost your paddle (actually, Slave Lake is a wonderful place to live -moved here in '81 and haven't looked back).

 

As for the probe kit..... There are some fine wire DMM probes available that are finer than most of the commectors you will encounter (not to mention that backprobing is both the preferred method - since you will be perfecting the asre of volt drop testing - and easily accomplished with the fine wire probes.

 

For load testing circuits, I scavenge connectors from junk wiring harnesses and sometimes resort to the drawers of pigtail connectors mentioned in late model wiring manuals.

 

From what I have seen, the price of the rotunda probes is somewhere between and .

haha happy holidays to you as well.

 

I was on the rttp site as suggested, and it seemed to be directed at American purchasing. I'll have to give rotunda a call myself. I have a couple of back probing kits but when I saw the rotunda probe kit at the price, I was quite surprised. I was a gm tech for over 10 years. kent moore's kit is around 650 bucks, so this one is a bargain.

 

not to derail the thread... lots of rig work in slave lake? work beside a tech from grande prairie. he tells me the work never stopped. I have a couple cousins working in Lloyd and buddy of mine was working at Bonneville. hope you guys are keeping busy.

A guy can work late near every night if he wanted. The patch is pretty much shut down until after new years, though.

 

Our store is in the middle of doing year end tight now but I'll try to remember to get some contact info for you. Whenever we need Rotunda stuff, like I said, the partsmonger gets it with no muss and no fuss.

 

Gotta love them grasshoppers

Is that supposed to be some type of binary code?

If you call 1-800-ROTUNDA in Canada, you will get the Canadian "menu" (including the Froginese menu selection). Depending on your selection after that, you may be directed to a US entity.

 

Selecting the SPX choice will direct you to a US line.

 

Not sure why your partsmonger can't do that for you.

[Aaron]

Pick the french option and then refuse to speak anything but english.

 

No waiting on hold, works every time

 

Most of the operators are bilingual instead of french only, so they will help you.

 

I get bored sometimes and learn things like this.

[sneakypete]

thanks guys. will do that after the holidays.

 

happy new years to everyone here.
