Default Not Online Much

In case some of you have noticed, I haven't been online much here lately. I apologize to those of you that have had messages or questions that have taken a day or two to answer.
Basically, we are totally swamped here in the shop and I have been spending ALL of my time out there. Lately it seems all the local Duramax's are coming out of the woodwork for transmission upgrades.

So, if you have a question or need something, best bet is to call the shop. Thats the fastest way to get service. Its toll free, so give us a ring!

800.450.7036
916.386.2855

I'll try and jump online when I can, but the way the schedule looks right now, I will be working Sundays just to keep up. I am looking into hiring more help, so hopefully that will ween some of the pressure off.

Thanks for understanding!

Glad to see that got your problem fixed! Had to wrap our heads around that one!

UPDATE -

Ok, so, hired a guy on, full time. So, that should help me keep up. I still have more trucks here than bays and parking spots, so we are double timing it to get caught up. These damn Allison rebuilds have really backed me up. I have had 4 so far this month!!!
Since hiring on this new guy, we also picked up 3 tow truck companies and 2 repo companies for service work. Of course, first thing one of them brings over an International 530 with a broken front cover. I had no idea we had to pull the motor mounts to get the cover off! Lots of time in that thing.

So, in any case, here soon we should be caught up and I will once again be seen on the site a little more regularly. In the mean time, again, if you need something, have a question, or anything, call the shop!

Will do. Right now its these Dmax trucks taking so much time. I have one on the rack right now for a full stg IV kit, and then we found the T case is trashed, he broke a front half shaft and a snap ring in the front diff. . . . . .

Good thing we were tearing most of it down.

So, now it has
Suncoast Stg IV kit
New T case
4.56 gears (front/rear, truck is on 37's)
Banks PDA

Gears are a new one for us, but now I have a guy that comes in and installs them for me while I work on something else. Works out great, and he's damn good at it. If you need gears and are nearby, call us up!
