[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=61854][quote=”trucker101″ post=61822]Great video Eric. I am wondering if the customer paid for the parts in the tune up you did? They didn’t seem to be needed after all. If they did pay for them how did you explain it to them so they would? Just asking because sometimes I’m in that spot doing repairs like that for people from my house.[/quote]
A fair question. The customer paid for the parts. He’s a good friend of mine, I’ve been working on his stuff for years. That said, I called him up, told him what I knew of the situation and gave him my recommendations. I didn’t get the parts until after I talked with him and he had OKed the repair. After I found the intake gasket leak I called him up and admitted my mistake. He was cool and wasn’t really set back all that much in the end.
Honestly, he got a great deal on this one. That intake gasket is a PITA as you’ll see in next weeks video. It was a quick cut on camera but it took me about 6 hours in the end. It had some very difficult to access fasteners. I’m not worried though. What I do benefits you the viewer, and thats’ what’s most important to me.[/quote]Ahh,I didn’t know you had called him before getting the parts,makes sense now, Thanks for the reply and yes I’m dirty!! LOL banana:
