Acdelco Tds Crashing

I had him enter the vin number in the box below the connect button then hit enter as I've…
Agreed. I believe that it's more of an accounting thing: having to support the AM just complicates their job, so they don't develop a whole bunch of successful routes to solving issues for us, and don't devote much money to it either. Probably what the law demands and little else I suspect.
