Jeff Clyde Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 6.4 catastrophic failure with the cab in the air, 6.4 that grows oil quite rapidly, 6.0 Ambulance with leaking bedplate ( covered by 09m01 ), 2 e-series buses for egr/oil coolers, and a 6.4 with a melted engine harness and other melted plastic components under the hood along with more dry chemical extinguisher discharge than is reasonably necessary ! Friday can't come soon enough ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Meanwrench Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 6.0 e series EGR/Oil coolers and intake cleaning. International 4700 needing a water pump and another 6.0 needing a front cover gasket. And they want them all done now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Man, I am going through a stretch where a truck is either simply not broken or the customer doesen't want to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yesterday I rebuilt a mangled convertible top on an 05 mustang. I'll take any diesel engine job over that anyday. One side rail broke and caused the other to pile up catastrophicly. Both side linkage/rail kits later and its alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both rear wheel cylinders siezed. What a stink. Managed to back off the shoes and limped it into work. Did the job in the parking lot cause all the bays were full though.

Jim Warman Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 So let's play "What's in your driveway?".... The answer is my camper...... It looks like my house got moved to a different town..... in a war zone....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 This week feels like I work at a speed shop, not a dealer. Monday installed 8 psi procharger on 2011 6.2l raptor. (That is a fun motherf*$cking truck to drive, over 600 hp) Yesterday put southbend clutch in a modded up dodge diesel, today diaged clutch problems in a modded 09 gt500 (675 hp). Then today was back to reality, drilling out broken rh side manifold bolts on an 08 f550 6.4l finning service body. Truck is too heavy to lift on any hoist, so I spent half the day on my knees.

DieselD Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yes...what is it's purpose? The local police swat team vehicle and its purpose is to give bad guys a bad day. complete with battering ram attachments, second floor lift to shove through a window and pretty much bullet proof. All the body panels around the cab are 1/2" or greater steel plate. The hood and fenders are all 1/4" plate. Windows are 1" thick ballistic glass. Its a tank.

Jim Warman Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'll see your bet and raise you a F350 with a 6.2.... intake manifold full of water (yes... I'm talking slosh slosh gurgle gurgle kinda full)... I can't tell you how the water DID get in there - yet... but I can tell you how it didn't....

Jim Warman Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The local police swat team vehicle I'm glad I don't live in a civilized area.... Our local SWAT team would likely be about 247 avid hunters with high powered scope equipped long guns and no tolerance for people that wont "cowboy up" and do the right thing... especially now we have a majority Tory government. Digression.... thanks to the bleeding heart liberal insistence on a federal election (an election that they not only lost but an election that cost them their status as the "official opposition" but nearly their creditation as well), I will soon no longer be a criminal.

dieseldoc Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Unfortunately my bay was full of metro transit buses all week. 4 of them with pan gaskets on all 4 and rear seals on 2. I am glad my week is over until tuesday. Hopefully better jobs next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me want to move right out to Arizona, I tell ya! No other state like it!!! reasons for these swat vehicles?? With such a high influx of illiegals we have one of the highest car jacking/home invasions rates in the US they get put to use. Also I dont know what the percentage of people that carry a gun but its ALOT. I typically have 2 on or very close to me at all times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchan68 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Also I dont know what the percentage of people that carry a gun but its ALOT. I typically have 2 on or very close to me at all timesGee, it sure makes me want to consider moving out there. I guess if nothing else, we have VERY strict gun laws in Canada that keeps things under control SOMEWHAT. I think if if living in any community, where keeping a weapon handy at all times was deemed necessary for one's own protection and survival, it would be more prudent not to be living in said community to begin with. It just sucks that we are taxed to death on just about EVERYTHING, just to keep all those severely overpaid and underworked civil servants happy, but that's a whole 'nother thread altogether.

With the risk of starting a whole other debate on the subject I feel its my RIGHT to be able to carry a gun if I so desire. I feel its a valid self defense method for if the need ever presented itself. I hope I never need to actually use it for that purpose but its there in case I need. Think of it as having the proper tool for the job. Just remember no amount of laws will keep the bad guy from arming himself and commiting a crime. Obviously they are not going to abide by the law in the first place. I live in a very good community but that does not mean its 100% safe. I also travel to the desert often and I have come across some wacked out people out there in the middle of no where. I do not want to be out there unarmed! Also I love to go out and target shoot/hunt. Its a blast and with arizona having lighter restrictions I can have pretty much anything I want which makes this state great. Its a great hobby.

Matt Saunoras Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 better to have and not need than to need and not have I work in the sticks for one, so i do have a gun around me at all times. Not to mention i'm obviously an avid sportsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Ever see the mosquitos in New Jersey? If there is a place in the USA where carrying a gun is needed it's here. Those suckers are so big they should be the state BIRD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
