....heck, I've never even look at the system before yesterday (and never heard about it before two days ago), never seen the new 4.2 engine before (and it is different) but we figured out the components and troubleshot it in about 15 minutes, maybe 20.

I'm no genuis, I would think "dealer trained" mechanics would do circles around me with their experience, but we find over and over again that they mis diagnosis cars all the time! Obviously they are wrong or they just don't know what they are doing or have billing motives built into their head!

I personally don't like replacing good components, but the dealer seems to!
