    Detroit Diesel Acquires Webasto

    Ye, we know the HQ are up there. But you can no longer go up there, and purchase anything from them directly. You have to call another number, and order an item there. It's called service, another tradition that's in short supply these days.

    Where do you get your Truck Pipes From?

    I agree with greg334 on this one. Where we got our pipes isn't on here either. We fabricated ours, and then took them to a shop, who gave us our own part number.
