I’m Telling Ya, They Do It On Purpose.

Yeah about that last part.

I couldn’t tell ya how many times I have run across that one.

There could be fifteen bolts holding something together in a big circle and one of those sonofabitches would be different for no apparent reason.

I really like it when they use a completely different style of fastener too.

Like throw in a Torx bit bolt when all the rest are Allen head bolts and make sure the thing is where you can’t see it.

Hidden upside down in a recess so you have to do it by Braille.

It also never fails that the one odd ball is made out of butter so it strips out or rounds off.

This post was inspired by me remembering that I gotta take the Big Red Dodge back in Monday.

I ain’t even going to tell the Wife about it until it’s done because I don’t wanna hear her bitch about it.

There is something binding up and chattering in the ass end of it after I drive it and get it good and warmed up at highway speed and then pull into a parking lot and have to either back up or make very slow sharp turns,

I’m thinking it’s the chain in the transfer case but it could be in the rear differential.

I ain’t even going to mess with it.

I’m going to drop it off and tell them to call me when it’s fixed.

My days of wrenching on cars are pretty much over at this point.
