You can tell Mikeys a genuinely smart man. Never assumes anything

I've noticed that. He doesn't like to speculate or guess. He makes sure he has some hard data available before he will make a statement about what might be going on with a vehicle.

Good words to live by, “ Just when you think it can’t get any worse; it can” One of the Murphy’s laws for sure.

[@5400bowen]

Colonel Murphy was in charge of the rocket sled tests at NASA. The g-force tests for the astronauts. Basically a jet engine strapped to the back of a chair on a railroad track. The wiring for the sled was all the same colors, and one day the tech miswired the sled. The astronaut was killed. Colonel Murphy was quoted as saying if something can go wrong it will go wrong. That is Murphy’s Law. He had the wiring color coded from then on. He was not pleased that his quote was taken to the level of a lighthearted interpretation in everyday life.

[@jojomorgan8556]

Yes, but the fact is, his name is immortalized by it just like Samuel Mudd who's "name is mudd" after helping kill Abe Lincoln

[@SouthernArmory]

Definitely agree with Bill. I’d bet everything they reused the old motor and pocketed the insurance money.

[@DeltaSierra181]

I bet money on that too

[@jojomorgan8556]

Or possibly even got the short block from a scrapyard and just threw it together (without checking anything below the heads to save time and gaskets of course)

[@n10cities]

@@jojomorgan8556 Well, if they had used another short block with its own crank (and not the one from the original engine), then you would think that they should not have had an issue with the bent reluctor wheel (unless of course it was also bent on the second engine as well). If you recall, the original incident impacted the front of the oil pan and damaged the aluminum windage tray on the bottom of the block along with the wheel in the process.

[@dennis8445]

The dent in the wheel was put there by the concrete.

[@n10cities]

@SouthernArmory, if that is the case then the customer needs to bring this video to a competent attorney or the insurance company needs to and get reimbursed.

Hey Billie , have you ever done a breakdown on 7.3 , 6.0 , 6.4 , 6.7 , in last year or two . I watched your older video on the topic .

I'd have the guy get back in tough with his insurance company. Let them know the previous claim was never solved, and the insurance company can write a new claim , and go after the previous shop.

[@jojomorgan8556]

It had already been 3 years since the claim so likely they can't because most insurance companies have a 3 year timer on claim paperwork and likely do not have the original claim info anymore

I bought a 2006 6.0 for $500 because the guy at the shop couldn't get it fixed for so long the owner of the truck died..... I drove it home after I paid him.... just had to tape wires to the crank sensor and clear the codes and it cranked up on the second try (with a little ether to force it to spin up and get fuel again)

[@BS-km9oe]

Your deduction sounds 100% correct to me with regard to the bent wheel. That reminds me of oil change stores that don't change oil or if they change the oil not the filter. I have personally caught oil change stores not changing oil and filters even though they charged me for it. That was a long time ago and since then I stopped paying anyone to do any simple services on any vehicle I own.

[@milledgewilson5025]

I love this kind of Trouble Shooting. In the Marine Corps to get Helicopters going, we would have "jumper harnesses" already made, to ensure we did not call the incorrect part bad. You can imagine in the Marine Corps if you call a part or harness bad, or some repair and it does not fix the discrepancy, it is a bad day all around for everyone involved. In combat operations, it is even more important to do correct solid maintenance. These gentlemen sure do. Also, this applies to any and all types of equipment to include support equipment.

[@ronsimms6530]

I have no idea how much Bill pays Mikey but I can tell you whatever it is, it ain’t enough! That’s a huge compliment to both of these guys. Mikey reminds me of the Doctor that played in the series “house” years ago. The guy that could figure out the most unique human anomalies. Mikey is the mechanic doing the same thing and I respect how humble he is about it. You see a lot of people that build themselves up by tearing others down. His silence towards other shop’s sloppy work says more about his character than his ability to diagnose and repair which is likely why he’s so good at what he does.
