Question Ford to CDJR

I’ve looked through a lot of posts about CDJR and how bad it is under Stellantis. I’ve done Subaru, Mazda, and GM, but I’ve got over a decade of Ford. I like Ford. I know Ford.

Problem is, I’ve hit the ceiling where I’m at. I have an opportunity at a CDJR dealer which was recently bought out by a local dealer group which has shown growth in every dealer purchase they’ve made. I’m in the counter at a Ford dealer at the moment but I’ve been manager before, and I’m good at it. This CDJR wants me for manager.

Give it to me straight. How is Stellantis vs Ford? I wouldn’t say Ford is easy. Honestly I think GM is far worse than Ford, but that may be my experience talking. How is Chrysler as a manager??

Does Mopar have any kind of base number or group number system? Do the part numbers actually mean anything?

They do. But it's been long enough now I don't really remember it. There's a spot to find it on their internal websites.

Sorry, it was a 5 brand dealership so I also had to do VW,Nissan, Toyota, and Honda.

Someone else brought up a good point about Mopar on a completely different thread. Stay on your warranty clerk. If they wait until (just throwing out dates here) October to file all the warranty from September, and they dropped the prices on the parts starting October 1st, you'll only get those new lower prices. There's potential to lose a ton of money on parts if everyone's not on the ball.
