Glad to see that I'm not the only one Earnhardt's screws up on. Took
them 2 yrs to find a problem in my 94 Dak. They had my truck so much
that I made them make one of the monthly payments. I've got some things
that need attention but I can't be without my truck for a week as they
never seem to want to fit me in the schedule.
