Home from work, latest upper arrived. Rolled the dice on a Bear Creek 7.62X39 upper from Classic. Brand new upper, test fired only, with rust in the bore! It cleaned out easy enough, but I've bought 60-90 year old Enfields that shot nothing but corrosive for at least 40 years that had cleaner bores.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By redtruck90:
Mechanics have it rough. I played that game working for a dealership for about a year... Sometimes, BRAND NEW parts, from the dealership, would be bad. Customers don't care, its our fault. Or, customer comes in and says I want you to install this part I brought, warn them and write up the traditional "Customer requests part XXX be installed. No warranty on parts or labor due to use of customer supplied part". Come to find out part xxxx came from the junkyard, and for a good reason. Customer blames mechanic. Good on you Pirkle for not playing by those rules, sounds like you've got a good one, and I hope he gets it sorted out for you Trust me we have replaced many parts on the '97 Chevy ranch pickup with junkyard takeoffs. I tried to sell my boss my '96 Tahoe for parts a few years ago. He passed on it it only had 120,000 miles on it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Pirkle:
TPS sensor was waranteed by O'reilly's. I just hope the throttle body that is ten months old is. My mechanic has a good relationship with his shop in Edinburg so it should be. Trust me we have replaced many parts on the '97 Chevy ranch pickup with junkyard takeoffs. I tried to sell my boss my '96 Tahoe for parts a few years ago. He passed on it it only had 120,000 miles on it. I remember we had a woman that bought a Hurricane Sandy Dodge Journey at a salvage auction, brought it in to get it looked at and an estimate of what parts were needed to restore it. I put a TON of work into it, got essentially every single part that was needed, with the obvious caveat that we would have to reassess again after those parts were fixed to see if anything else was bad (hard to test some things with a dead TIPM [totally integrated power module, feeds juice to almost everything]). She said it was too much money right now, asked for the quote and said she'd start saving. I print it out and give it to her. A few weeks later, back she comes, with a trunk full of ebay and amazon boxes where she went out and bought every part on the list, in various condition, and expected us to then hang them for her with our warranty on the work. That was also the last time I ever gave a customer the official quote sheet for a needed repair, if you want the part numbers, you've gotta do your own homework. That was a stressful job... for many reasons |

I'll drive separately before I ride with 99% of the people I know For real though, in the last month, I have forced myself to make driving trips. Most are up to the gas station I can see from my front yard. I stretch it out to McDonald's once a week. Next month, I'm making the closest Chick fil A my destination spot. That will make the McDonalds run look fucking easy. I can smoke a cigarette and get home hitting McD's. It's about a cigarette and a half alone just to get to Chick fil A, and if light and traffic don't play right, easy 2 smokes one way. |
