This is the air filter from the 2016 F250 diesel i just bought for myself.
This was a "fleet vehicle" and as such would have been serviced by a fleet management approved facility
The engine oil was clean and fluids are up but rhis is the air filter! Having found this I decided to change fuel filters and tranmission filter kit. Transmission filter jit will not be in until tomorrow but fuel filters were in stock....common stuff right?
The inframe fuel filter assembly is so stuck that the removeable section of the filter housing broke in half trying to remove it.... but the maintenance records show this work has been completed.
Folks work orders and receipts are not proof of maintenance. Ask to see you old parts!! They are yours! You paid to have them replaced during last service. Make your service provider show you what they exchanged so you have real proof of maintenance rather than a bunch of receipts for work that was never performed.
Establish a relationship with your service providers. Make them earn your trust rather than expect it!
You do not have to be mechanically inclined to see the parts they claim to have replaced.
Keep this in mind.
Cheers all!!

So want to thank everyone for all the support.
We are still coming together but progress is being made!
We are now FINALLY set up to perform safety inspections and as soon as I learn to stop using a pen on the tablet screen things are going to go smoother!
Also, we are still working on timings.
Yes, evidently there is not supposed to be a difference between the schedule and reality!!
Bare with us folks, things are coming around at last and my big clumsy ass is slowly getting back into the swing of things!! This would not be possible without Jean Guy Clermont and Barb Campbell!
Barb does her best to keep the admin in order while Jean Guy and I debate over which crayon colour is the best based on flavour!

Another Fraptastical day at RPM RYDZ!!
We are coming together and getting organized a little more each day.
Forgive us if we are unable to fit you in right away because all your support and patronage is coming in faster than we can accommodate but we do appreciate you all. We expected to have more time to get our online services sorted out before getting busy but you all jumped in with us right away and we all thank you.
On a personal note, I thank Jean Guy Clermont and Barb Campbell for making my return to the shop work smooth and gentle. Not saying they babysit me but ya... THEY BABYSIT ME!! LMAO
We are having fun, working well and fine tuning a well oiled machine in providing you with the best service we can.
To all our customers past, present and future...we thank you all for putting your trust in us and we will do our best to ensure we never let you down.
At RPM RYDZ you are all part of the team and together we all move forward, share some laughs, step up for one another and keep it real!!
Cheers to you all!!

So Barb Campbell took pity on my dirt missile and gave it a quick wash while we were plugging away in the shop.
Evidently just because it has no shiny parts is no excuse for letting it get so dirty. Lmao

GOOD MORNING FELLOW NORTHERNERS!!
A little food for thought for you today.
When it comes to purchasing a new to you vehicle (used), i highly recommend you bring your vehicle to a certified shop you trust. Many auto flipping businesses are in the market of moving vehicles, not too concerned with craftsmanship, condition or even reliability. They will have their own staff perform shabby work and cut corners to bring whatever they are selling to bare bones minimum to say it passed a safety inspection. We see it often. Even if you buy a used vehicle certified, bring it to your trusted service provider and let them take a look at it. You may end up either bringing your vehicle back to the seller, getting MTO involved or both. Poor craftsmanship is one thing but poor or home made structural repairs, wired up supports, cement tape exhaust patches, expanding foam rust repair and oil spraying the hell out of the undercarriage to try to hide it all are just some of the more alarming hack jobs this mechanic has seen. For the most part these duct tape and baler twine repairs are not dangerous but when frames are tampered with unprofessionally, mounts are bubble gum welded and stolen road signs are used to pop rivet new floors in you may want to bring that to the MTO's attention and not allow this kind of work to put you and your loved ones safety at risk.
BE WISE TO THE GUISE!
Have a great day all and tune in next week when you will hear Kermit say.......

Yesterday at RPM RYDZ we finalized the online application for safety inspection components and ordered the tablet and printer. Now we see how long it takes to receive the kit. Upon arrival of tablet/printer RPM RYDZ will be back in the safety inspection service including motorcycles, annuals and of course automotive. Enough with having to haul bikes out of town for safety inspections and being charged $350.00 for a motorcycle inspection.....RIDICULOUS! We get costs have risen but if you cannot perform a bike inspection in less time than on a four wheeled vehicle you are either incompetent or ripping your customers off. Neither option paints a pretty picture but I do know it is happening and it is not right. I bought a classic custom harley myself last year and when I called around for a safety on it I about fell over. I absolutely refused to pay that for a safety check on my bare bones old shovelhead so I too am anxious to have my bike properly inspected and at a fair price!
RPM RYDZ IS WORKING TO SERVE YOU AND NOT TO MAKE EVERY TRANSACTION A LOTTERY WIN FOR US. We all want to earn good money but the key word is EARN, and not ROB!
Now smile and have a great day!! lol
