Does anybody know where to find the Equipment Master in the new AIS?

"TRANS OIL FILTER"?

One of the new trucks...workhorse?

Doesn't exist. I was told to use ECARS if I wanted that.

Just goes on because of time and/or mileage. Needs SBDT connected to reset prognostic indicator.

Right, but filters need to be changed, no?

 

[BrownArmy]

What about a frayed seat-belt?

As in, it will work for several months...years?

But it's fraying, and it's not going to fix itself.

Are seat-belts on hand, or 'on order'?

 

[Catatonic]

One only gets 1 question of the shop genies ... I guess you didn't know that did you @BrownArmy ?

Figures....still can't get into eCars since the big new AIS rollout.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Filters and fluid have already been changed way ahead of that. The vehicle does not know that.

Belts are usually on hand. Wear/damage is greatly accelerated by the practice of putting the belt over the steering wheel.

We have several drivers who do this.

Tell them to stop.

Tell them to stop.

I have asked them why they do it and they say that it lessens the strain on their shoulders and allows them to take it on and off much more quickly.

Order more seat belts. Your not paying for them

I would have told you to don't worry about it--mind your own business.

I can't order DNR parts over and beyond the stock amount. The belts should last longer than 5 weeks when they aren't abused in that way.

I got 3 vt's, we were part of that debacle as well (moving vt's into our center).

The consolidation only made things worse for me. More VTs, less 904s...both I still have both. WTF. At one point I had 13 different engines to deal with.

Inquiring minds want to know, especially if it makes more work for them and overtime is not allowed.

Pray you don't get more.

We all pay for it one way or another.
