I could strangle the guy sometimes. I love him like a brother, and He has always been there when I need help, and I am always there for him, but our relationship is very much off balance. Seems like I always loose. ( this is my partner in my side biz , with the rental houses, not my auto shop)
He goes out, and buys an 5.4 gas F350 with 275,000 miles on it. He was so proud of his purchase, and it is in nice shape,, but, I rolled my eyes, because I knew what was coming. 275000 miles on a 5.4 is just about life expectancy for that truck. He has it about three weeks, and it blows a plug out of the head. I repair that, then the water pump lets go two weeks later, I repair that, and now , it has popped a head gasket.
I'm so farkin' busy at work, that I just cannot pull it off during the week, and I would have to charge him full shop rate if I did, so, now , I have to go in this weekend to put a used motor in it . He will be there helping but he is not very garage saavy, and may just end up slowing me down.
What would you guys do? Putting a motor in a newer f 350 will be probably a two day ass bustin' adventure, it is not like I am helping him change his brake pads.
