We got snow today on our Eve of Easter.

I usually take a day off when they write up a van.

Wow, you get a whole 'nother 6 minutes for the extra bolts on a crew cab.

Quote: So what was your reply to that comment? Out of respect for the poor guy who is just trying to get his truck running, I declined to get into it with the jackass who made the comment I pasted here.

If you make a reply to the guys help request, then you can read the other poeples replies.

Shit, that's the bad thing about it, it was in the tech help section!!!! Alot of help this reply was, eh? reply number 6

Found this over at IATN. I usually don't get upset by peoples comments but I was actually quite offended as I read this. Quote: your first mistake was assuming the dealer and their monkeys knew what they are talking about,your second mistake was assuming that they were correct.If you take away their flow charts and dealer specific tools that tell them what wrong,, all you'll end up with is deer in the head lights....... This is a response to a guy who has put 3 fuel pumps on his truck and had the dealer check the truck and wiring to see why the pumps are failing, dealer said the wiring was fine.

I use Snap-on thin wrenches. These things are super thin and get right in there. The biggest reason for using the backup wrench is just to keep the fitting from turning and disturbing it's seal to the pump. Kinda like this

Quote: The same 20 songs 5 times a day. At my old dealer, we had a guy that would bring in his own selection on Saturdays and crank the shit out of it. Let me tell ya the only thing worse than Willie Nelson is.......Willie Nelson live.

To be really green, that mess would have been e-mailed to the trucks "Work Solutions" account.

We all have computers in our bays, so anything can be accessed for our listening pleasure. It ranges widely and depends on the surrounding techs moods that are within earshot. Mornings usually start off with alternative or grunge and afternoons switch over to metal. Country is absolutely not an option, silence will rule the airwaves before it comes to that.

At $4.18 a gallon, you think he would sort it out out pretty quick!

I put a TCM in today, man I would like to catch up with the idiot that thought the placement and connector style was a good idea. Just 5 minutes alone in a dark ally with a baseball bat and really dull razor. Don't even get me started about the frickin self tappers thru the frame rail.

Welp, it's my last day on the mountain for the season. This means I get my Sundays back. It's a piss poor day thought, it's raining out, that means no bikini skiers.

I was at Staples office center yesterday and picked up a 4gb flash drive for 20 bucks to put in my toolbox. Who would have ever thunk it.

Not sure why a doctor would not like chiropractics. Anyone who works on diesels should see a chiropractor once a month. Hell anyone who gets out of bed should see one on a regular basis. Oh well, the world is out of whack, asymmetrically speaking.

Just three here since the origin of the 6.4L. I think it has something to do with being pretty far away and mounted on the frame rail where mucho dirto collects. Hang in the rear bumper and see if the percentage goes up. As far as false codes go, I would definitely say the code that used to pop up on the 6.0 for the throttle plate when there was no throttle plate, would qualify!

I think I saw one of them sneaky bastards looking thru my living room window the other night.

We lost a TCM today.

Eggsactly!

Welp, I got into a tangle with a 550 today and ended up at the local ER. Seven stitches around the bridge of my nose and 2 hours later I was back for round two. To make matters worse, today was my day off and I was just trying to get ahead. You gotta love the first question on a workers comp form: "could this accident have been prevented"

I have seen alot more IPR failures on vans than trucks.

Take the physical keys for "z" and "x" off their keyboard and switch them, it only works for people who hunt and peck though.

The boss was trying to be humorous today. He gave me a ticket for a mil on and runs rough concern. It just happened to be a Windstar and he said "it's the silver Windstar out back". We got 40 fuckin Windbags out back and a dozen of them are silver!!!!!! Thanks to this rust recall.
