Turbo boost test says what after the concern? What kinda EBP are you seeing? All the CAC tubes are hooked up, and the air filter didn't get soaked with water laying on the floor or something beside the truck, with the wash kid spraying down the next bay? But it is a pickup, so you could have left the parts in the box (Typically box trucks and cube vans get the stuff stacked under my bench or beside the truck, pickups have the shit go in the back) Just thinking out loud here...trying to figure out what the fuck went on. You did let the truck run for 15 minutes or so to oil the turbo? Did you pre-oil the turbo before you put it on? They tell you to let the truck run for some time, 5, 10 or 15 minutes I can't remember now, at idle, to properly oil the turbo. Me, I built a pressure oiler, so I don't fuck with that stuff.

I'd have gone in on saturday and taken a shit on that tuneup guy's toolbox lid.

There's not much in the way of high-rises out there, is there?

Got a gauge? Please clarify.

Wouldn't the leaking copper washer beat down the whole bank, eventually, the longer it ran?

MAP hose hooked up? How did the truck drive before? Like shit? CAT plugged? (seein a lot of this lately, worse when hot)...

Always, usually I knock the pan plug out of it when I start, after I start draining the radiator.

The only problem with that is, they won't likely pay the claim if it's repaired by sleeving it -- since that's not listed in the fucking workshop manual...

Watched a cutty/whizzy wheel get away from a guy and cost him a rad, once.

I'd have glued the knob for the fan speeds in that position, then carefully scraped off the 1, 3, and 4 numbers on the dash. It only has one speed now. And that speed happens to be called '2'. Fuckin' 97 safari... Mike how do you end up with all the good jobs?

I think it's more fun to pick on Rex in his own house.

+1 on the long block, or telling him to sell it as-is.

Never bothered to cut one, just looked like if I finagled it enough it would come out, and sure enough, it did. I like taking ones out that have been cut, and nobody bothered to screw them together.

There's a thing on the hotline that says if parts are unavailable within a reasonable time (5 days) an assembly can be ordered with the proper documentation, as per the W and P manual.

I see you're from Michigan, you didn't perhaps have this repaired at Auto-Trend or Stellar Enterprises, LLC, did you? Was the "tech's" name Rex Umney?

I just filled my sinuses with coffee, ya prick!

I'm going to drag my old water softener in and put it beside my toolbox, and hook it up to the water tap. Failing that, I'm gonna get a bunch of copper and some Sterno burners and build an actual still right beside my bay. Look like a moonshine making bootleggin' rig. Awesome will occur.

More than enough time to put a PILE of 7.3 oil pans on! LOL

^^^ Jim, you've justified your existence plenty. Have a fuckin' break, dude!

Happy birthday Grampy! How's the Vacation so far?

So I fired up the second video...and those two guys slathering that shit on the pan and in that goofy "repair" had me nearly fallin' off the couch I was laughin' so damn hard.

I made it 0:27 in, as soon as he picked that hunk of shit up, I had to turn it off.

I believe there is an aftermarket solution for this, let me do some digging and see if I can find it.

I also have a Halon fire extinguisher at the homestead

Oh no, just the nozzles. And yes, they took 'em apart and changed just the nozzles. It STILL runs like shit cold, because it needs INJECTORS not TIPS...I already told him thia, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
