Some people would have tried to sell him a steering dampner….
not even a brick can fix stupid
This is past Rainman Ray gold. The melancholic futility of a mechanic faced with a reality of crushing defeat as the neglected pigs brought to him to waste his time are refused repair by their bottom feeding owners.
The customer is always right . Even when thay are wrong lol .
I'm watching oldest to newest
Looked pretty new to need this repair. 4 wheel drives are harder on front ends but i would think this shouldn’t happen in the 30k mile range I saw on the odometer. It did not have oversized tires or rims either. Truck did not appear to be abused.
People still say the Earth is flat, so if you can't align a planet good luck getting them to accept their car's steering isn't perfect.
The weenie is going to go somewhere else an pay for an alignment he doesn’t need and will not fix the problem…
Rainman Ray: I found your problem. It's not your alignment.
Customer: Then I'll take it somewhere else for an alignment.
It reminds me of that old Electric Company sketch where the guy goes into the cafe and orders coffee and a sweet roll. The waitress explains that they are out of sweet rolls. The customer then changes his order. He orders orange juice… and a sweet roll. This goes on for quite awhile.
Just needs an oil change.
He'll get an alignment done and then blame the mechanic when it doesn't solve the issue.
Somehow I don't think alignment is exactly the issue. But, that's just me.
you can't fix stupid
And being told he had worn out parts that need to be replaced he elects to believe an alignment will sort his trick out.
I'm sure his usual mechanic told him the same thing which is how he ended up at your shop.
Some people are just a special kind of stupid.
I'm surprised the check engine light isn't on for that dreaded id10T code!
I can understand if it was a "I can't afford the repairs right now", but the "I'll just get an alignment elsewhere mentality" is ludicrous.
Did you reply (to the customer), "Good luck – and I hope the place you're taking it is pretty close by," lol?
The plot must thicken at some point. Even with worn inner tie rods, the shaking shouldn't be as consistent across the range, as it seemed in this video.
Granted, video isn't always the best way to illustrate the full picture.
But I suspect warped rotors. Those went unrepaired for too long, and ended up wearing out the tie rods. So it's probably best that he declined your service. Customers like that, they are the curse who keeps on cursing you.
You can't fix stupid Ray, some people just won't accept the truth.
HE'S GOT A FRIEND
Chevrolet and their steering wheel issues, man. Reminds me of my Opel Corsa 1.3cdti…
"Stupid is as stupid does." – Forrest Gump
Wheel alignment or warped rotor? Doesn't seem like a wheel alignment issue.
Should have just quoted for wheel alignment and other associated repairs
Can't FIX Stupid!!!
38k miles and front end wore slap out how…
Findings the problem is as much fun as fixing it except you don't get dirty. Enjoy the freebees while you can.
