UPS managed to turn the handle on my Wilton vise into a pretzel about 6 or so years ago. I still have no idea how they did this. Must've rammed it with the forklift at top speed!

Nope just careless over paid babies.  Not going to lie I've dropped a few packages in the 14 years and counting but I do try not to.  Some of these sh**bags just DGAF.  Morons think we're too big to fail.

Try going to work for UPS or FedEx if you think they suck so bad.  See if you can figure out where the stuff is getting damaged and who is doing it.

Almost got t boned. 

Leavingwork, going straight,

In the parking lot, some idiot thought they had the right of way because instead of turning left as they should, they veered left and cut through the empty lot to try to jump ahead.  They were so arrogant in their ignorance they honked. Kinda wish they hadn't stopped, perfect case for my dashcam.

ItThe Mazda dealer that always recommends I replace new parts/fluid "because they are due from age" Did it again[to refresh, I got them pretty far down on the maintenance contract when I bought it, was $50 for oil/filter/rotation/inspection.Stupid me thought it was a "REAL inspection", and I would use it to document the car in constantly excellent condition, as this dealer was running a "lifetime power train warranty with proven regular maintenance" deal at the time. This brake fluid "needs immediate attention". Here is a screenshot of the video they sent me. See how nasty it is! Like black coffee in a clear milk jug :lol:?. One of these days their pants are going to combust.

I changed the transmission fluid this summer, they said it was due. I changed the brake fluid this summer, they said it was overdue. They said it badly needs an alignment, when I ask how far off of specification it is(a degree? 5? A tenth?) since it seems fine on the road, they say "ummm, what?"

 

14 down.....2 more to go. I have never given them an extra cent besides the drain plug they stripped, but the $13 was cheaper than my time that day to argue. Probably why they keep on lying.

At least they didn't attempt to attach it to cover the inner wheel's trajectory. ?

 

 

Just got back from yet another 1,400 mile plus journey this month in the 26 year old Volvo 940. Only casualty was the exhaust, right where the pipe goes up over the axle to the muffler. My ears are still ringing after listening to that for 9 hours yesterday ... ?

 

When we got home, I found the source of the burning plastic smell that came into the cabin every time we stopped. I had brought the 3 new parts of the timing cover assembly (upper, lower, and rear), in case I had to change the overdue timing belt along the way ... and the plastic covering they were sealed in melted to the floor of the trunk, thanks to the exhaust blowing straight up to the body, directly underneath the upper section of the trunk floor. Saw it all when I got home and had the trunk empty. I managed to pry 2 of them up, along with the box for the new distributor cap ... but the rear timing cover was STUCK - it came up in 7 pieces, with an 8th still fused to the carpet back there. Always an adventure!!  ?

Looks like PG&E in CA are proving my point. :lol:

I always did 150 lbs. on 8-lug HD trucks. I'm sure 140 would be plenty. My little half ton's 6-lug spec is 140.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
