Guy at a Muffler man shop told me that when REMOVING muffller on a Diesel it would make it quieter. No joke.

I guess you don't have to know anything to get a job at these places. You can click a mouse and talk. Your hired!

Here is one from just this morning

Me- I need a fly wheel ring gear for a 02 2500 2wd
Guy- ma'am all of dodges fly wheels come with the ring gear welded on
Me- nope not this one
Guy- yes, they are ALL welded on
Me- can you just tell me if you can get it because it's not welded on
Guy-give me your vin and it will show on my computer that it's welded on
Me- here is my vin
Guy-..........silence then in a quiet voice ......oh your right.
Seriously you are a parts guy for dodge STFU!

 

Went to advanced Auto one time( Hey it was Sunday) and needed a Starter Relay for a 01 Ford pickup. They did not have one!

Seriously, The one part Ford Doesn't change for 20 years and they don't have it?WTH?

 

Today at the Chrysler/ Jeep dealer:
I ordered a lower xj diesel coolant hose- what do we have here? This looks like a upper gasser coolant hose...
next thing:
Hey, I need some bolts to fix the down pipe to the charger.

Salesperson:I'm sorry they are no longer in stock.

Me: What? That car is 10 years old and you don't have the bolts? What about the Voyager- same engine- give me some Voyager bolts.

Salesperson: I'm sorry, they aren't able to deliver either.

So what now, any alternatives?

Salesperson:I'm sorry we don't have any parts available.

Me: OK, just give me 5 studs from the exhaust manifold to the charger- if you don't have bolts I will use rods.

Salesperson: Are you sure, that they have the same size?

Me: You ask me about that? Yes, they have the same size. Do you remember I replaced them last week and ordered them here...

So I travelled 80 miles today to find out to come home empty hands, grrrr:bat.
