sorry dudes, but as i have mentioned before i work at the national parts depot in toronto and we have f*ck all coming in right now.

as the one guy said, suppliers are not being paid so we are not getting any parts. christ, half of the time we don't have soap or paper towels in the washrooms. when we run out of shit house paper i'm going on strike

right now we are picking skid lots of shit and sending them down to your depots in the states that are running out of stock. funny thing is, that shit will come back up to us on what are called referrals when we need it and don't have it in stock.

i do expect things to start to turn around when chrysler emerges from this bankruptcy shit fairly soon....hopefully!!

on a side note, i saw an add on the bulletin board last night at work on some pretty good deals on vehicles. wrangler unlimited X for 18,999.00 cash purchase price.... canadian dollars my friends!!

Yeah, but your dollars are worth more than ours are now (or will be soon)!

Serious contribution to this thread: new front driveshaft, took four days instead of the usual one day.

I wonder how long it will take to turn around, I also wonder if its going to get worse with Chrysler before it starts to get better.

Not much going to happen while the restructuring actually takes place, notice the factories are all shut while it's going on. As mentioned, suppliers are going to grind to halt as well. THey are about to re-emerge so hopefully it will turn soon. Maybe take one of these guys up on there offer for a track bar, or go aftermarket.
