Reddit’s !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is a veritable cornucopia of the many !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of shop lyfe. You never know what’s gonna roll in. Here’s what caught my eye this week.

Cam’t even

Have a nice trip, see ya next fall.

Prophetic.

I think the lady was using Walmart in order not to make herself look like the looser she really is. Just cannot believe multiple years of changes with multiple Walmart Techs and not once a filter change? I call bs on her back story.

...from what i heard, 1st they just tried to put two bolts in w/o a gasket, 2nd was the rigging, and third was the jb weld or whatever paste they used

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Same as the first. A little bit louder and a whole lot worse.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Me-yow!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

That wrench is about a foot long, right? So... you do the math.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Um... yes?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It also pulled a leaf into the mass air flow sensor.
As you can imagine, it stalled in the middle of traffic.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Oh, is that all.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Just had this vehicle in the shop last week and all was well.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

They wanted to blame it on Cummins *facepalm*, since the engine is still under warranty, but checking ECM info, the service light was on since 892 hours back for low coolant, and check engine light was on since 866 hours back, engine decided to shut off to protect from high oil temperature and that’s when they decided to take make a stop at our shop...

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

No oil on dipstick and leaks everywhere. They are wondering why their car shuts its self off.

Update: customer does not believe being 3 1/2 quarts low will cause this issue. Does not want any repairs done and told us he is taking it to his technician. Lol

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

...mold. Every square inch of the goddamn car.
it’s not even a flood car. Just had a bad leak.

(click for video)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

That’s nuts.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Axle tubes bent, caliper slide pin sleeve collapsed, brake hose, shocks torn out, shackles torn, frame rail twisted, spring bracket nearly ripped off frame, 3 severely bent rims and 2 shredded tires, yolk broken. We haven’t even looked as to why the front tires have -15 degrees of camber. No broken u-bolts. Center pins must have sheared a while back then they hit something big or deep. They overload it anyways. It’s a box truck

Same company dropped !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! off last night. Not even 48hrs later

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

...he came in for tires, way overestimated how effective his “lift” was and they didn’t fit, so we put the stock back on and he left

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I... what

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Better start using that special robot vision...

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Note the hydraulic mule on the far right connected to Engine #2. We were doing a full gear swing, basically testing the operation of the nose and main landing gear.

The Walmart lady’s oil filter was a good preparation image for what was to come.

To be honest, about 50% of the time I’m not quite sure what kind of hell I’m looking at, but I do still appreciate these posts. Tire/brake ones I understand yet still horrify me. At least if the engine breaks down you can coast to a stop but tire/brake stupidity scares the hell out of me since they’re the only things that’ll either keep you on the road and slow you down.

Only JRitS could reduce a rear axle to merely 'something'.

That body lift looks like something my middle schoolers would make.
