I have changed my pic to support #TeamPineapple, Feel free to steal it and do the same
Also, I just dropped the truck off at the shop. Should be around $90 in labor, I bought the new U joints for $45 myself. I could do the repair, but I've got too much going on this week and I really don't feel like bruising up my knuckles while improvising tools.
Absolutely NOT. The original Virtua Fighter is and remains a classic. And besides, we were talking about ugly CGI in games (and movies), not about in-game graphics, so your example doesn't count.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
I had to run to another parts store an hour ago to get a different part and drop it by the shop. Turns out the rear joint is a different size. Because why not. Then the person at the shop's maintenance bay says "Hey, it even happens to us" And I reply, "I'd imagine so, since there's a Dodge service manual version that says they're the same, and one that says they're different." Then she goes "Well, that's why we kind of discourage people from bringing the parts. It's kind of quicker if we get it." After she says this, the mechanic walks up to us and says "It looks like this should work, but we won't know for sure until we take the driveshaft off and compare to the old ones"
I just stare at the woman who was just a second ago trying to pin the delay on me. "I guess it's alright that all that's been done is put it on the lift and not begin any actual work, huh? Could have just rolled it out of the bay if you really needed to." **_**
Truck is back, labor was $96 (instead of the estimated $94, not bad). Apparently those joints were so gone that they had to be cut out and probably started failing a year ago, so it's good I took care of it. The noise from the bad tensioner I replaced last week had probably been masking the driveshaft noise.
But now there's some vibration. I think it may be the tires out of balance. ugh, puppies and kittens.
