Keith Browning Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Holy crap is it slow now or what?!?!? We started to pick up business a little in the late summer into fall but now it's dead. Cars and trucks. Anybody else seeing slow work lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroberts91 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Me and the other diesel tech are the only ones busy in the shop, the guys who wont touch diesel are fighting over the PDI's and oil changes to at least get a couple hours. Living in a tourist town sucks in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bruene Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Jammed beyond jammed... And, to make matters worse, I'm in Cummins training for 4 days this week. I'm sure all my gravy will have been mopped up by the light duty shop by the time I get back, leaving me with a few weeks worth of junk... Yay, me!

DieselD Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Slammed here.....Building service trucks on top of trying to keep everything else on the road....then there is customer jobs...... Anyone need a job in sunny AZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Tires, tires, tires, and more tires, and more tires ......... Same here. The Ford winter safety program took us over for a bit. Diesel slowed a bit but they tell me the next two weeks are booked. All this snow throws a loop into things though. Can't road test anything at the moment.

Matt Saunoras Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 We are dead, not even any light duty stuff to fill in the cracks. I'm looking a 6.4 today for a regen concern, pop the air filter cover off and the filter is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking a 6.4 today for a regen concern, pop the air filter cover off and the filter is missing. That is why they put the turbo there, to chop up all the dirt so the engine can digest it easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherH Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just finished rebuilding the C6 in OUR plow truck--not much other work coming in. The hunger games have officially begun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherH Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm sorry about that--I have been following along a little here and there, but I've been busy as hell working at the dealership, teaching night classes at our local tech college, and a seemingly endless stream of side jobs. The teaching job went away a few months ago due to lack of students that wanted night classes, and the other work has dropped off badly. We are just entering the good old November to March slump that we always get here I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bruene Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Currently booking into Dec 10 - jammed here. Our customers wish we can get them in that soon! I had a new tech start yesterday, so that's going to take a huge load off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
