you're right bandit there is money in those trucks, but everything about them is "super duty" (huge). The guy who does heavyline stuff in my shop get ALOT of money, but he passes up alot of the superduty's because it takes alot of effort to manuever a transmission and transfer case, and driveshaft that easily outweigh you two fold. I'm a small guy myself and want to get more into engine repair and drivability because you don't have to really manuever anything huge, not only that but the chances of having something large fall on you or roll onto you are alot less if you stay away from it . Basically there are 3 huge money makers in the shop: the "alignment/suspension specialist" the "heavyline specialist" who mostly does transmissions and then there's another guy who does alot of heavyline stuff, but here's more into the Superdutys and trucks and makes quite a bit of money. Alot of guys make good money replacing engines (an unbelievable amount of 3.8L's fail) and they have it down to a science.....once again rambling
