Our C9 threw a Check Transmission warning and wouldn't come out of 4th on our way back from the east coast. After shutting it down for a few minutes and restarting, no warning but coach shifted rough and seemed to miss. Took it to the Allison shop here in town. Charged me $300 + to run a diagnostic and tell me I had an engine problem. For another $300+ they would run an engine diagnostic. Told them to button it up. Called Dave and he ran a diagnostic that indicated a possible injector problem (#1) and a couple of possibly bad sensors. Adding "O" rings to the injector connectors improved starting significantly but still had the miss. A new injector actuation sensor reduced the miss but didn't eliminate it. I had Empire replace injector #1 (have warrantee policy) and it's running good. Thanks Dave for your guidance!

A couple weeks ago I saw a fluid drip from under the transmission on our Mercedes Sprinter.  Dave has a Sprinter so I called, introduced myself and asked a couple questions.  He generously provided the useful information I needed.  We were on the phone for 45 minutes!  Dave is a very generous, knowledgeable and friendly man!
