Is Denny Hecker shutdown??

I drove by the Monticello store the other night, it was closed. Snow on the cars etc… Just looked online, can’t even find a phone number on their website.

Yes, he closed or sold 7 stores about a month ago….

Yeap, he closed 6 dealerships and sold 3 others.

Chrysler cut off all his financing.

Need a little service on the Ford. Got a tire pressure sensor that won’t go away.

Did you check the spare ????

big G

Na, it fell off a couple months back when I was chasing deer out spot lighting.

That’s your problem then, it looks for 5…..

most fords do not have senors in the spare

I am not sure, but most Chrysler Jeep and Dodge with a full size spare, that is a direct replacement, in other words, just as you have on your vehicle, have sensors. I believe it is a gov’t mandate, if it is a full size replacement, sensor is stock.

I work at a ford dealer and haven’t seen any in spares

Your correct, the mandate is for the 4 tires that come on the vehicle at delivery, there is a push for legislation, to include the full size spares, as well. This probably will not happen for a few more years. Chrysler puts them in alot of vehicles, with full size spares, maybe that’s why they are broke ????

It is a good idea. how often does anyone check the air in the spare? A lot of imports have been doing it for a while.

he got shut down

If you saw the house he built on crosslake you’d know why he had to sell dealerships

You mean Chrysler built….

So I’ve heard. My neighbor has a place close to his. I guess it makes Jeff’s mansion look like a shack.

Please answer me why on Gods green earth the government needs to regulate tire sensors and or full size spare tires???

Am I missing something?

Remember the whole Firestone Wilderness Tire recall about 8 or 9 years ago ? Alot of vehicles, mostly Fords, used the tires and the improper inflation of the tires, would cause serious tire failures, that resulted in some deaths. It’s about like asking why does the government mandate all cars have airbags and seatbelts, that’s how I look at it anyway.
