Thanks BOB, Saw Dennis' post from 2 years ago on the subject, but did not know if he was still in the business. I did e-mail him, and Dennis is still at it. Will ship to him ASAP. Thanks again ! AL in NJ

Dennis Ficken is the best !! I shipped him out my hydraulic locks and they were repaired and back to me in days ! Cherry Hill Mercedes in NJ wanted 570.00 for each lock, plus install. Dennis repaired them with a warranty for 3 years for a total of $80.00 bucks ! WOW Thanks again Dennis ! Al in NJ

Al,

Glad that worked out for you! Dennis is quite a resource to us owners...keeps us from biting the big one at the 'stealers'!
