Customer who "knows his shit" and had me put head studs in his 6.0 after he grenaded the gaskets, coolers, and turbo, just had his truck towed in.

 

Apparently there was gelling on his primary fuel filter today (it was about -7*F this morning) and he thought it'd be ok to try and drive it without any filters in the system.

I have a question! OOOOH OOOOH! Pick meeeeee! ME!

 

If there were no filters installed then how did fuel pass through the spring loaded inlet valve on the fuel pump and the fuel filter stand pipe?

Well, he did say it was towed in...That is a really good point though Keith, I still think he's going to get some injectors out of this deal though. If not for debris failure, then from low fuel pressure damage. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby2.gif

I had one towed in a few weeks ago for the same thing. I was doing the diag and found no fuel filters. I asked the service writer if he knew this and he said yeah! the customer thought he would get more fuel. I ended up putting 5 injectors in this truck and new fuel filters. Some people know just enough to be dangerous and make our lives hell.

Obviously it wasn't going to start, he just didn't realize that. He's just one of those characters that can't stand being "forced" to learn something and especially if it's the hard way. He was just real salty about the whole thing.

 

Fortunately for him, there wasn't any damage done and we slammed some filters in, everything's fine so far.

 

Either way, It went over more smoothly than I expected, something told me he was just gonna freak out at the desk... you know the kinda customer I'm talking about, hehe.

Keith I think this was the best question we have had here on the forum to date.

By the way you do look a little like HORSHACK...
