so you talk about personal unbiased and uneducated opinions but your "not sure" and "think" in this comment... so would that be your opinionated guess? You sound like you just googled "heated springs and leafsprings" and cut and pasted your comment, but that's my personal unbiased and educated opinion

Thanks.

Im not a sales rep. If you understand how our company works you wouldnt say that. I do sales during the first 6 hours, and wrench the last 4. I am a certified tech. That's what i have been doing. The sales thing was a bump in pay and a drop in hassle.
