Sometimes you just want to slug someone...

...or whatever else it would take to slap some common-sense into them.

I took the F-150 into the dealership yesterday to get that power-line connected for recharging the trailer battery. They called back several hours later to say that it actually had been originally connected, but that there was a relay (R05) required on the fuse-panel ( Read more... )

stupid, f-150, plumbing

Yeah, I'd drop a formal letter of complaint to GM - those people shouldn't be allowed near anything more complicated than a can opener.

As for the plumping.. even *I* knew that... Ugh. I can see that causing some issues, to say the least.

In any case, to reassure you faith in the universe, I present to you a story of a happy little Mini. Watch the video! http://www.abc3340.com/Global/story.asp?S=14302961

That is an awesome story! Thank you for the link, I dug the actual FLV file out of the temp folder and saved a copy. :)

Yeah.. gotta love the bit after his second fitting.

"Ok.. let's see.. hey.. I can walk.. this feels good... Wow.. Oh, oh WOW.. WOOOO!!"

If you allow them access to can openers they might end up killing themselves by accident, but then again, that might be a good thing for the universe at large.

See comment on previous journal about NEVER EVER LETTING ANYONE FROM THAT DEALERSHIP WORK ON YOUR TRUCK AGAIN.

Apologies for the all-caps, but... seriously. Each time you deal with them, you run the risk of ending up in a situation that is at best, expensive or at worst, quite dangerous.

Going to them again is like returning to a restaurant the day after recovering from food poisoning, and ordering the same dish.

In our house, whoever did it put a stack for every single U-joint, but didn't re-use the ones from the prior plumbing. So the roof over the bathroom has a half-dozen pipes sticking out of it.

But the septic tank isn't vented, and instead burps out horrible gas every once in awhile. *sigh*

your truck tech, sounds kinda like one of the IT guys i get to deal with. I had an issue with my RSA tag, instead of issuing me a new tag (which is easy to do) the tech checks all my password and pin protected stuff.... hey s*&^ head.. my RSA tag is dead, my passwords and pins are all fine..... wow.. what else are you going to discover that isn't to code?

I really hate the dealer ships for there stuff like that. I work in the automotive and it just amazes me on the crap the put together. Especially in GM, oo I hate GM
