You gotta hear this !!
Today the battery in my C-10 took a dump. No problem, hit the Local Advance to get a new one. The young man sold me the battery and asked " Can we install it for you for free?". Sure, why not, saves me the bother. So we go out to the truck, and I pull the hood. My engine originated in a boat. It is a Crusader 350 engine. He looks over and sees the " Crusader Marine Engine Division" decal and says" I can't put this battery in, this is a Marine engine and you need a Marine Battery". I knew where this was going... I took the battery and told him nevermind, I'll install it at home. "You know there is no Warranty, right?" he said. I ignored him and left. I just laughed....

Re: You gotta hear this !!
i had a shop tell me they would not install a power steering pump if i bought it and dropped it off with the truck to save them a parts store run.
i can only assume they wanted the money from the core charge that badly

Well there is nothing like preparation! You are like a modern day Noah having your ride water ready. Making the rest of us look bad Diesel.

Re: You gotta hear this !!
I'm still chuckling about it... My wife said to buy an Evinrude decal and put it on her Jeep Liberty and she will go over there and try to buy reed valves for it.

Re: You gotta hear this !!
Get one of those spinny props for the reciever hitch and ask if they sell a bigger one, because you can't get above 20mph. Be careful though, that may melt his brain.

Re: You gotta hear this !!
"Coast Guard seizes vehicle on I-95, no life jackets, film at 11..."
I could see that on the news. My old plow truck had a deep cycle in it, sales kid tried to convince me a regular automotive battery wouldn't work.

Re: You gotta hear this !!
I called up the local parts store and asked the man if he had a high pressure steering hose for my 70 c10. He replied yes, how much would you like $2 a foot. I replied HIGH PRESSURE.! He said I would have to come down and match up the diameter though because there are several. I said NO! This has fittings on the ends and the hose is permanently crimped. He said that he had been doing this for 17 years and I was not going to teach him anything. I realized at that point that this whole conversation was my fault....? Oh and I have a marine battery in my truck and my boat is not at all happy with me!
