As the monkey in the pit, I didn’t catch much of what cust. said or the story. Last change wasn’t too long ago, not our shop, minimal to no rust. That bastard was on there real good and imo it looked like someone tried already then said fuck it.

Pants were shat.

...The foreman heard it going off for about 3 minutes before it popped. He didn’t seem happy but at the same time I could tell he was laughing. The manager wasn’t here yesterday either so he laughed when the foreman told him.

Yeah, I would tell him get it towed (or put on a spare), because I’m calling the police to report a dangerous vehicle if that rolls out on that tire.

Toyota radiators are practically a maintenance item. I know that and I don't even work on them. Start saving!

Yeah. Not fun. We had 2 nasty cars last week. One that had a jug of milk break open in the trunk, it would take your breath away from 20ft. And the other spilled a gallon of sweet and sour sauce in the trunk. That one didn't smell so bad, but it got in everything and was super sticky.

This prompted me to check, and a Denso (presumably OEM and also the most expensive) on rockauto is... $95. That’s almost worth having one on-hand as a spare and/or preventative ly changing it this summer.
