Where are you

I've had very good luck with the Petro shops that I've dealt with...But I watch them do the work.

 

This was the first time I've ever had trouble with Petro.

 

Redd, I thought this was caused by something recent was why I made my comment. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'll go sit back down in my corner and be quiet

 

Stuck at the J in Hubbard for the weekend.

 

I'm guessing the wrench was dropped into the fan shroud at on time or another. And it was riding so peicefully until I hit a bump, unlodged it from it's hiding spot, the fan grabbed it, & tossed it all around.

How long it's been there is anyones guess.... It could have been there 5 years as far as I know.

The truck is running.....

So far I have personally went & bought $1856.92 in parts on my own to avoid the 40% markup if Petro went & got them. $106.78 on the rental pick up (that Toyota Tundra is a quick little thing). $221.01 on gasoline for my San Antonio/El Paso round trip. $20.00 taxi ride for a total of $2204.71.

Now I'm just waiting on them to finish the Petro bill..... They still have to top off my transmission before they can bill it out. I'm guessing $1400 in misc shop fees, parts, & labor. I wonder how close I am to that figure?

 

yikes!!!.................

 

OUCH....had our radiator go out in CA...had it done at KW in Fontana...and an Oil Change...and a dyno test for $3600.00..

 

Make sure they get all their tools out of the way before you start it....

 

The closest radiator for my truck was in San Antonio... This all went doen in El Paso. Sure, I could have paid $300 for them to ship me the radiator & recieve it Tuesday.... Or rent a car, get it myself, & be fixed today? To me it was a no brainer.

 

I asked them that many of times & looked for myself
