Old Man with a Hat
Well, took the truck down to get a spring pivot pin replaced. It broke, never in ally years trucking have I ever heard of this. I thought that it had shifted over and I knocked it back in, but it is too short. So I explain all of this too service manager/supervisor. Sure bring it by we'll have a look.
Take it today and mechanic walks down pit under truck and while still looking at his phone says "hanger is junk they are a lot of hours to change, pin is too short, you have a mess here"
I told him to please get out of the pit and open door.
"Why"
Because you made my desicion to trade the truck, thanks.
Now the back pedal. Do they teach this BS in mechanic school?
Now it is heating up, "open the door please".
Manager steps in, "let us take a look at it and see if we can just get a pin in and get you going"
Sure, WTF can I do the only other shop that is decent for suspension work is over a hour away.
I told the manager, if you can put a pin in just do that, if not put it back outside and call me it's getting traded, he agreed.
Shop is dead, lot is empty, and this MF wrench turner is going lay the $5000 bill blues on me?
Now I know that the hole is not to egg shaped enough not clamp the pin from trying to knock it back in.
WTF are they teaching these kids in tech school? How to put the customer on their heels within the first 2 min, and let's set them up for the big bill in 30 seconds.
I understand it's a thanksless job, but WTF.
