Venting

Well I figured I was messing up on the install of my door poppers so I took the truck out on it's maiden voyage, about two miles from the house. They had my truck for two whole days and I had to call the shop for progress. Normally in my estimation people who work on vehicles call you before the end of the business day to tell you about problems, etc. Not.They told me they got the passenger side to work but not the drivers side. Well after close to the end of the second day, I went to the shop to see what was going on. They told me if I tightened the cable on the passenger side it should work fine. Well, I looked at the passenger side, and the solenoid wasn't even attached to the door. They told me the drivers side would not work with the remote, but would with the push button inside the truck. It did in fact work that way. I asked them what they had to do to get the drivers side to work with the push button? Any adjustment of the cable, etc. I was told no, they only hooked up the push button. But the drivers side doesn't work with the remote. I figure tomorrow I will sort that out. To add insult to injury, When I get the truck comfortably back in the garage, I smell something that is not right, both rear brakes are smelling like they are burning up. I take a little water, and put on the rear wheels and steam like a mother happens. I sure hope the brakes are the culprit and I didn't smoke the whole rear end. Sorry people I just needed to vent. And the bottom line is I paid over a hundred dollars to be just where I was two days ago. I guess what I have been trying to accomplish is harder than most people think. Wootdog
