Well I see one problem, your dealer hit you with a BIG bill for doing nothing.

Your post on 04-07-2019, at 02:20 PM is a little confusing seeing as your next post said the you are still having trouble. Which is it?

Sorry that the JD dealer went crazy on your bill but it's good that you were able to reason with them.

I operate a small engine repair shop in my garage. If I can't fix the problem, I charge a $10 minimum. Not like my local Chev dealer, took my car in for several reasons, they checked it out, found no problem and charged me $400.
