The last one – I’ve own one of those. You checked the oil before you headed to work and you checked the oil before you left for home. The distance was about 15 miles each way. And we won’t even discuss the brakes or tires.
Wife had one, little pains in the ass all the time then the rattle until about 8 mechanics later new exactly what it was.
I thought the first one was a Hoyer lift. Flashbacks.
Why? Did you have Hoyer lift races with a passenger up and down the unit hallways? We did, and another is backwards wheelchair races… We didn’t have Tic Tok back then.
No. Something always broke. Every damn time. We’d do anything to avoid having to use one.
The guy that did the “bolts coming loose fix” is a freaking genius and deserves a raise.
Yeah, the safety wire is a nice added touch!
I identify with each and every one of these, but my ’03 Jeep Grand Cherokee has almost 300K on it and is still cranking. So, there’s that.
You forgot the hand job..
If it wasn’t for the hand job, most guys wouldn’t get laid.
When mechanics wash their hands prior “self pleasure,” they see a clean hand and think, “have we met before?”
Whoever puts the balancers on the GM LS-engines should leave his fucking green Loctite at home.
Spent $80 on a balancer puller just for the LS-engines….. bent it.
Spent $250 on a high-quality (?) one off the tool truck…… bent that one.
Wasted even more purchasing a new balancer (because by this time, I KNEW getting one from pick-&-pull would never happen) because I spent almost three hours with a grinding burr to cut a groove in the balancer.
The new one was pre-heated to 150F before pushing on.
Sold the truck.
Leigh wants the location of that Ford, he just rebuilt another Husky chainsaw.
#4 – Guilty, guilty AF.
