I tell him I need the check/relief valve that goes into the return line coming out of the Vp44 returning to the tank. He looks at me and ask what the VP44 is? This guy is there head diesel mechanic as well mind ya, I about fell over. I said you dont know what the VP44 is and he says no why do you think that is so amusing. So I become kind of a smart *** and tell him that it is the proper name for the fuel injection pump on the 24v Cummins. So now we are on the same page and he turns the computer screen towards me and ask me to point out what I needed. He was very helpful after that and apoligized for acting the way he did. He had just dealt with another guy that was a complete *** he told me and he took it out on me. So I managed to get my parts ordered and should be here tomorrow so hopefully this fixes my problem. I just thought it was a little wierd that he had no idea what the VP44 was though.

Then...we had a long talk about Cummins labelling vs Dodge labelling and he says to me, well how do you like your 'xxxx-xxx-xx' in the 06...I of course didnt have any idea what he was talking about...In the end, it was the turbo, but he asked using the Dodge part number, instead of the Cummins part that we are all familiar with...

So, I guess if you look at it this way, maybe they arent as dumb as we all think....

Tire guys though....yea, most suck!

Maybe if we knew their language and they knew ours, it would be a whole lot easier to get something fixed....
