 So you work for Dalimer-Benz ?  Portland has a Freightliner plant (still for now - until they outsource it)  and Hq is still here,  all the Vp's Drive S500 Benz. ( well that was a few years ago, I am unsure what they drive now.) 

I tell you that nothing makes a job easier than the right tool, nothing can frustrate you more than the wrong tool.

I used to enjoy wrenching on rigs more, but after 96' and the OBDII, I replaced an air mass on my 98 Benz several years ago, and it took 6 weeks for it to register a complete drive cycle and shut off the Check engine light.     Before I could get new tabs for the car.   

It is crazy, anymore, too computerizd and the Tools are to expensive to buy just to work on it your self.  As well when the normal techs are constantly being schooled on all the core  ( read DEALER ONlY -or HUGE $$ to the small shop or end user.)
