    Just thought I'd share this, in case anyone here owns an Isuzu Rodeo with 4-wheel drive.
    One came in the shop today and the owner wanted us to check the CV boots on the front axles. I checked it out and it needed both.
    Wayne (my manager) sold the job and came out to tell me. With a BIG smile on his face. When he checked the labor time in our Alldata system, he found much to our delight that the labor time for replacing the 2 CV boots is 5.9 hours PER BOOT!!!
    This customer will be paying for the rubber boots from NAPA and they are not expensive at all, but he will also be paying 11.8 labor hours at $59.00 per hour and I will be done before lunch Monday and I get 45% of the labor.
    Think I'll have steak tomorrow night.

    i take it your in the "biz". me too. big honking trucks for me. you got to love the labour and parts for fixing them.

    and comercial people dont care how much it costs, just FIX IT!

    every hour of down time is an hour that truck could be making thousands.
