So my past two weeks have included....
2002 Caddy Deville Northstar for an oil pan gasket, turned into a nightmare as i broke a few of the mainbolts through the oil distrubution plate. Had about 30 hours in it drilling out the broken bolts and time serting the block.
A Ford 6.0 for head gaskets and egr delete.
A Ford 6.4 for a replacement motor
Diagnosed another 6.4 for a oil/coolant mix problem (cavitation behind water pump, 4th one i've seen like this)
2003 Duramax for 8 injectors
2003 duramax for a replacement motor (had oil/fuel coming out dipstick!)
Had a Sterling Bullet come in the shop with a melted DPF also but warrenty
Got two powerstroke 7.3's at the shop i gotta look at tommorow (think one needs an idm and the other has a leak at the oil cooler)
That was just a highlight of the "fun"... Finished up a timing belt on a Tundra and headed home tonight about midnight. Lovely 6 month old airtex mechanical fuel pump that i shoved back on the motor after breaking my Duralift gave up the ghost and i walked back to the shop. Grabbed the 20+ year old mechanical pump that i saved off the donor truck and tossed that in on the side of the road. Other than a 7.3 for a CPS, i can't imagine having a simple roadside fix for any of those trucks. Feel bad for the duramax guys though.
