I’ve since left that shop. The axle in the video was removed by using an air hammer to widen the hole, on a main load-bearing wall nonetheless. Had to do this anytime a long wheel base dually came in.
One of many grievances with that shops equipment. Life’s much better now

Tech caught it himself. Already had it drained all the ATF when I saw it. He was pretty mad at himself but also at how badly labeled the jugs were.

So apparently, hes been having trouble getting the shifter into park. The only thing sticking above water was the tips of the hay spears

And they refused to get another one for my customer, so I had to end up re-doing the harness for the transmission. Thankfully it was only about 8 wires.

Let this serve as a friendly reminder to remember that one thing you forgot.

Running and driving. Bolts hadn’t backed out far enough to hit block yet. Converter mounting pads “machined” the backside like this and they’re pretty much rounded off at the ends too. I’m guessing the noise it was making didn’t just start. Replacing everything. On a PT Cruiser.

Ah yes, the weekly dose of “oh my fuck I share the road with these people” posts.

I’m surprised that Hummer limo doesn’t just split in half, they must’ve done some extensive bracing.

The brake and tire posts always piss me off because they’re the only things that’ll stop you and/or keep you on the road.

I’m not entirely sure that it was driven there . Especially if that really is the subframe poking out underneath . Hopefully just dropped off by a tow truck.

Trying to decide if this was one of the best weeks or one of the worst. Certainly one of the more memorable.
