Agree..But i swear that i have to deal with some of the cheapest people on the east coast..But i have had to do this before just because the customer did not want to replace the caliper.

..........I understand.....75 percent of the time I spend working on mercedes, bmw's, vw's and toyota's, generally the people who own such don't really bicker to much, but there is always the exception to the rule

finding parts generally hasn't been too bad for us more so wiring diagrams....WE DON'T SUBSCRIBE to the isuzu /gm breed specific stuff so I end up using pin location to verify the circuit with a gm 3/4 to 1 ton chasis..pin location id often correct but the wire coloring has been off by a mile, so it has made short and bad connection tracing a nightmare and this truck has had plenty of wiring issues

yes we have all data and bosch data access.......however neither contain info for an isuzu box truck with a gm powertrain, so I just use the info on a 1 ton gm truck, all troubleshooting and pin locations are correct just not wire color so when probing pins I often have to test for continuity on both ends to make sure I have the correct wire since color coding is of no use in such case
