Wtf???

 

The road has this perfect wave to it

 

Well I guess I know why the transmission pan is leaking. All the bolts are like hand tight

 

Hory shet

 

Are they made out of balsa wood?

 

Oh no shit? That makes total sense about the name. I had no idea where that name came from, just that you shouldn't reuse it. Cool learn something new eryday

 

I just shiped a CV axle the other day in a usps flat rate box like that. Showed up just like that. Was so pissed off.

 

I was expecting to only see half my order, or figured the bolts would definitley be gone, but surprisingly everything was in there. Maybe the post office threw it around or something but the seller should have used a better box for how heavy these ball joint assemblies are

 

It's a crappy box TBH, pretty thin...I could tear it apart easily by hand when I opened it up. But yeah I think the USPS guys throw shit around carelessly

 

Yeah surprising everything was in there lol

 

One of my biggest gripes is when individuals don't know how to properly package things, especially taking into account for USPS' weak Priority boxes. But when a company does shit like that, that's even worse!

I used to be a one man shipping dept at one of my old jobs & I've shipped extremely odd shapped items that you wouldn't believe. I guess that's why it bugs me so much. People don't think, they just try to penny pinch down to the shipping supplies. My boss was a cheap ass but when it came to me buying shipping supplies he would never said anything cause he knew I knew what I was doing & that the parts would get there safely.

 

Like that time I forgot to tighten the drain plug to my rear diff and noticed a stain in my parking spot at work 2 days later lol. Got lucky that fucker didn't fall out

 

I also don’t think atf should look like this

 

People smarter then me when it comes to transmissions. Can how do i clena this? Hose off with brakeclean?

 

1980s ATF ....mmmmm

 

Called taking pride in your work, something severely lacking nowadays it seems
I've seen some master shippers man and the ideas for packing stuff was amazing, tetris master level stuff

 

Clean it off the underside? Get some quality degreaser, let it soak then pressure wash it off

 

What are you cleaning? Internals? Or just outside like washing your engine?
