  2. "I had all my injectors changed and I still have all these injector circuit codes!" My favorite of all time.
  3. "Customer diagnosis" Had customer come in and tell me to change glow plugs. Put 8 glow plugs in the truck and punted it. "Uhh, my truck doesn't start" Hey, you wanted the glow plugs changed... Didn't mention anything for a no start. It started for me.
  4. Recently “Machinist Workshop Magazine” did a test on penetrating oils. Using nuts and bolts that they ‘scientifically rusted’ to a uniform degree by soaking in salt water, they then tested the break-out torque required to loosen the nuts. They treated the nuts with a variety of penetrants and measured the torque required to loosen them. This is what they came up with: Nothing: 516 lbs WD-40: 238 lbs; PB Blaster: 214 lbs; Liquid Wrench: 127 lbs, Kano Kroil: 106 lbs (ATF)/Acetone mix (50/50): 50 lbs. This last “shop brew” of 50% automatic transmission fluid and 50% acetone appears to beat out the commercially prepared products costing far more.
  5. As we speak...Dozens of Homeland Security officers are making a perimeter around Keith's house...
  6. I could hit 40psi on a certain stretch of road with my truck stone stock, without even having it fully laid out. Towing across Canada with a 4500lb car on a 2000lb trailer, plus about another 2500lbs of shit (Ask Jim - he saw it LOL) I was 38-41psi all the time up hills. Check it for codes if there isn't an over boost code, I wouldn't lose a whole lot of sleep over it, in my opinion.
  7. Head gaskets or the impeller is spinning on the WP shaft.
  8. Last one had the needle buried by the time I got back out of the truck after firing it up (stick truck, and I had the gauge bar hanging off the service body on the back). LOL.
  9. Anyone else see this? .3 to inspect AND/OR repair. Sweeeeeeet. Not to mention the actual repair itself. Shakin' my head.
  10. Pull the sending unit out of the tank, and take the filters out of it, maybe the filters are plugged up?
  11. I'm pissed about that, and it's not even my truck. Aside from that, Merry Christmas to everybody.
  12. It'd be a Christmas miracle if a 6.0 lasted that long without repair
  13. LOL We usually only see them with recycling in them, as the recycling is dumped on site at our facility where it's sorted and packaged for commodity sale. Bluewater Recycling Association (its bluewater recycling association, I'm not a female undergarment mechanic...although that would be a hell of a fun job...see the website address)
  14. We had a lot of trucks at the mine with the hour meter maxed at 9999.9, with like 40,000kms on them. I wonder if once it's maxed out you can still reset it?
  15. But have you ever noticed how a new calendar usually has the previous year's December in it? Total mind blower. I gotta sit down. No, actually. I had a 40lb border collie puppy jump on my face this morning and i think it concussed some stuff. LOL
  16. Seen a few broken at the spot welds. Truck came to me from another dealer after getting glow plug harness, three valve cover gaskets and then a cover replaced for porosity, to fix that oil leak.
  17. I'm back to wrenching, but on garbage trucks. City garage more or less.
  18. I have a special "10mm drawer" with new six point wrenches and sockets for special jobs. I only ask on that socket because I won't be able to take the cab off my truck easily where I work if it needs any repairs.
