Off my Truck, you have to keep it because you really don't know what it is, where it goes or if it's important."
"You're right, I forgot it was jerry-rigged from Hel."
Conversation with Mark after getting my Demon Truck back from the mechanic and finding out that when they(Mark and Chris) took the starter off, they lost the shims that hold it snug against the flywheel(apparently it's a Chevy/GM thing, something I've not run into before). When asked, Mark said, yeah something fell out, it was wrapped with electrical tape and the size of a box cutter.
I said, "Mark, that was the shim. What did you do with it?"
He replied, "Well, it's gone now."
I said, esperated now, "What did you do with it?"
He said, "I threw it away in one of your garbage cans at work, it's long gone."
ARGH.
Damn ignition module went out on me. I told them repeatedly it was not the starter, but they wouldn't listen. Now, after spending another 300.00 on the damned truck, I'm looking at having to get a starter by the end of the month. Because without the shim in there, it's barely catching the flywheel and will gradually wear out.
Maybe next time they'll fucking listen when I say it's not the starter.
