Shout out to another great customer of mine. I told him I get to the shop at 5am. He said, "I'll be there." He pulls up at 4:58AM in his 223k '01 Corolla for a misfire diagnosis. Code P0302 with an active misfire when cold. Cylinder 2 ignition coil secondary resistance is 2/3s what the other three coils show. As soon as the parts store opens we should have him on his way to rack up even more miles on this well-kept juggernaut.

Happiness is hearing the recycled engine you installed a timing set and nigh every gasket known before putting it into a 23 year old car start up on the first crank. Bonus points for no leaks or codes and piping hot heat. Some days are better than others.

The $300 coolant hose, just in case you wanted to know what one looked like.

Customer said another shop estimated replacing a coolant hose on their 2019 F150 3.5L at over $800 dollars. They came in for a second opinion. I was shocked at such an estimate, until I found no aftermarket assemblies available. That is the retail price, $305. Toss in 1.5 hrs labor and coolant that retails for $20/gallon and the costs add up. . Of course they added a coolant flush service and new radiator cap. I saw no evidence of corrosion in the coolant system and a perfectly good cap. My estimate came in around $500. Still, stupidly expensive, but much less then they were quoted.

If you had told me years ago that I would be using an oscilloscope to diagnose a not charging alternator, I would have told you you were crazy. Welcome to Loonyville, folks.

This month's photo essay contest at Fubar Garage LLC was titled, "Tell me you're working on a former Great Lakes area vehicle without telling me you're working on a former Great Lakes area vehicle." Lead mechanic Mike Murray submitted the winning entry, including a 1/4" drive, 10mm socket for scale. For his efforts, Mike received a gift certificate to the long defunct Burger Chef restaurant as the grand prize. Keep up the good work, Mike, and you just might make employee of the month in the near future!
