Forgot to put oil in

Again did he BUY a truck with a used engine it's a simple yes or no answer?

 

15,000 miles ago, so what's your point?

 

My point is that he should receive nothing short of a NEW factory engine from Toyota..... I am happy that he getting a replacement but he has no way of knowing what the history is of that replacement engine... He also should get a lifetime power train from the dealer.

 

Did he come to the dealership for an oil change with a new engine?

 

Why? They are giving him a better engine than he went in with

 

He came to the dealership with the expectations that he would get an oil change with oil put back in his engine and did he expect to leave the dealership with no oil?

 

They certainly owe him an engine. But only one of equal or greater value....not necessarily a new one.

 

He has no way of knowing what the history is of that replacement engine is.

 

So why does he need a brand new one?

 

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You haven't been in the auto industry have you?

 

I bet if the shoe was on the other foot here you would be wanting a new factory engine....

 

Nope. I work on cars every day. I'd rather have a low miles known good running engine than a new engine with no history that could last 10 miles.

 

What does me being the auto industry have to do with this? And how is it dumb that he has no way of knowing the history of the engine valid question?

But as a matter of fact I was in the auto industry as a Toyota Mechanic from 86-89 @ Stadium Toyota in Tampa till broke my back....

 

THrowing a cam and some other goodies in my 80k mile known good engine. Has since made over 200 track passes, 25-30 dyno pulls, and beat like a red headed step child on the street. I wouldn't do that with a brand new engine.

 

I'm happy you would settle for less

 

Yeah baby. 30 years ago. Let's talk about today. When they make not pieces of shit

 

Is that the only reflexive comment you have?

 

Is that the biggest word you could come up with?

 

Im sure I could come up with more....
