Just spoke to another " automotive tech " :ROTFL:

Come on now where are the good ones at, has to be some around yet isn't there?
I can remember back when I worked at the dealership we worked on ones no matter if they drove in, were pulled in or we had to go out and get them. Anymore .............. :roll:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon May 06, 2013 4:18 pm

OH............................
and another winner here...................
last night I'm looking at my rear diff cover...............
and saw the guy who checked the gears must of gotten me a new one.....................
I used to have a Crane ...................
now have a enarC ..............................

yeppers he installed it upside down ........................ :ROTFL:

UPDATE AT 5:40 PM
If people did their job when they are suppose to, there would be way less problems.
Going to go sit on the deck and drink a root beer and celebrate.
Think I may have found the problem. Remember tighten all bolts, if not they will loosen up and cause issues :wink:

Now where is that " transmission tech" at so I can strangle him before I enjoy my drink?

All that effort and frustration over a loose bolt ... someone needs to suffer!

Not "a" loose bolt
9 loose bolts that I could take out with my fingers, plus cross member bolts weren't in that tight at all and now to reinstall the trans skid the right way,well tomorrow after I replace the tranny pan gasket that is leaking as well. :furious:

The top bolts on the tranny I don't think they even tried to tighten them at all, only was in about half way. Of course with the skid on, and not dropped down you couldn't really tell .
At least I hope it will take care of it all :ROTFL:

I was going to have the trans ready to drop on the ground tonight and start over the right way

Holy Crap, Tom! :furious:

How could they have done a test drive and not felt something's not right...? Do you have enough extensions to get to those top bellhousing bolts? A local shop lent me a 38" extension just for those bolts - made tightening them like butta.

Bob, They rode in it today for about 5 miles then put it on the rack and thats when they told me my lift was to high, etc

Well Tom, add up your time, figure out how much the trans shop charged ya an hour and if it's fixed once your done go to them and demand that amount back. Raise cane with the BBB and the state also. I hate so called "repair shops" and stealerships fall into that same pile of crap. It is next to impossible to find anyone that knows how to repair anything now a days.
It would take some digging but I could find my old client list and we could start a shop if ya like :twisted:

No wait, that's dealing with the public again, forget it :ROTFL:

Everyone makes mistakes but things like that make ya wonder what ever happened to customer service. :banghead:

Hey Ted, how about you and me go down to Holmes County and pick out the perfect buggy and clothes for Tom and trailer it up to Swanton. Instead of a Meet & Greet we can have an Amish coming out party :ROTFL:

Tom, we'll take care of you even if the tranny shop won't :banghead:

"Unfuhstende!" (Dutch, or Amish, for 'unbelievable')

I think the amish wear plain black shoes....do you own anything but sandels? :mrgreen:

There was an amish guy on that Amish maffia show, he had a buggy with a V8 in it, just up Tom's alley :BANANA:

Hope you found the issue, I know it sucks when you have to let someone else work on your stuff.
