Yeah....from the way the one sounded that I watched them run the demo on.....I'd rather pull the damn valve and pour a pot of boiling water in the port...It would probably work better than the BG actually. Just wait until the super techs at jiffy-quick-change get wind of it though....I can already see the letters on the sign.. "Intake manifold damp? Coolant venting out of the fancy holding tank thingy? Black smoke? Stop on by, we can fix all your drivability woes in the time it takes for us to throw away your factory oil filter cap with our Can-O'-Magic!!!"

If they bring the truck to me, it is a minimum of 1hr. Just to PMI the thing. If we have to hook up IDS, (even to pull a code) it is an hour charge. I never, ever, ever leave the dealership during working hours to go diagnose/pass an eye/brother in law a truck. If they want the quality of service that comes out of our shop, they can do just like everyone else. Set up the appointment and get the truck to our shop. Just because they need there truck yesterday doesn't make their money any better than the person in front of them.....Granted, there are exceptions to the rule {ie; guy blew a cac boot pulling a grade with his taj mahal in tow 3000 miles away from home with his wife, mother in law and triplets in the truck} but, at that point...human compassion takes over and it is just a matter of paying your dues to society. My useless .02, anyway.

I was recently released to go back to work. Broke my left ankle walking down a hill at work. Hit a hole wrong, ankle rolled, body followed. I have nothing but respect for the machinery/tools/supplies that allow me to do my job everyday. However, this was a freak accident. I know this....with me being a workaholic...then sentenced to 10 weeks of "bedrest" {I was allowed to move from the bed to the couch, nothing more}..I do not wish that on anyone. It truly sucks waking up everyday and feeling useless. Hope he has a speedy recovery. I know I learned to keep my eyes peeled and be way more observant of my surroundings.
