I guess you could call me "The Fixer" for a local Christian single mom's support group. I got a call on Saturday. One woman was tired of the abuse from her ex, and she was planning on taking the kids and making a run for it, back to family in Texas. He had come back and seized everything of...

And by interesting, I mean insane. In fact, I'm not going to provide a link. Just go over there and look for "How to Basic". Looks like a cooking channel. Warning for suggestive imagery.

I've seen a lot of things get trapped by swear filters, but sex has never been one of them. This seems like a rather arbitrary decision.

2001 allroad, twin turbo 2.7 liter 30 valve V6, Quattro, Tiptronic, leather. 155k. Original price with options = $47k. I paid $20. It didn't run. A $20 engine speed sensor, repairing a wire splice, and tightening a grounding post fixed it. I've put about 1500 miles on it. It runs great...

As a mechanic that doesn't drive trucks unless he absolutely has to, I sometimes wonder why some trucks show up at my shop needing repairs that are really pretty simple. Granted, what I consider simple might be completely skewed, but still. I'm mostly referring to class 6 and up vehicles, but...

I just work on trucks. I don't drive them, buy them, or sell them. There's an International 4100 in my driveway right now. 25' box, liftgate, roll up door. Allison, T444E, and we're just gonna use 350k for mileage since no one actually knows. Assuming no glaring mechanical faults, a good...

Shave and a haircut, ten grand. - Imgur Apparently the driver was fired,not for this, but for losing CDL and not telling employer.

Here's a brand new truck that rolled in. 250 miles. The body had just been "installed" by a "body company". My job was to get the lights working. But this crack was the first thing I saw. http://i.imgur.com/SPJQObK.jpg They had put the body on the chassis, then decided to weld on the...

This does not sound all that appealing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg628BwkWQE

A buddy of mine has an '04 Freightliner M2 with a CAT C7. Approx 350k miles. He was finished for the day and was cruising home unloaded when poof, it's blowing light colored smoke and it's down on power and misfiring. He limped it back home. We started dicking around with injectors. Replaced...

What should I expect at a weigh station? I don't have a cdl. My friend Ray does. He's driving. We are in a Hino SG rollback on a harebrained trip from VA to MA. He's never done a trip this distance, never went through a weigh station, never filled out a logbook. We found a logbook and figured...

Here's an Imgur photo album I put together for another forum, showing an adventure in broken glow plug removal. Warning, it's graphic. One Sprinter got injured, but it's on the mend. It worked well, by the way. Quit while you're behind. - Imgur

http://i.imgur.com/MRzuOfH.jpg I think the engine survived, but half of the engine oil disappeared. I'm surprised the engine didn't run away.

I have a three photo album to accompany this story, with one caveat: It was written for mechanics in a forum I frequent (and moderate). And there are some bad words. I'll post a link below. Basically, an '06 Sprinter shows up last week with shifting problems. No check engine light. I...
