I hear that!!! I get so pissed going to checker, autozone or pepboys for parts. If your working on something over 10 years old they go into brain lock. I to have been behind the counter at auto parts. I would love to see one of these snot nosed fools try to look up a part via a book in a rack 3 feet long.

You got to remember that 99% of these guys that work at these parts stores barely know how to start a vehicle let alone know what a part is, all they know is to punch shit in the computer and some have a hard time doing that even, but they act like they are King of parts, I love messing with these guys and looking at the expression on their faces when I make em look like dickheads

That's because they don't have a clue what the part is and wouldn't know where to look for it, all they go by is a number that comes up in the computer then they go back and look for a box with that number!..  Yeah I love when they ask shit like that, I always tell them all the opposite stuff and when they bring the part out and tell them that's what I need, then I tell them what I really have, that just blows them away!..

A lady,that works near my house at a Checker Auto Parts, has a husband that drag races. She thinks she knows it all, and has all of the answers.
I went in to get some trans fluid for my '68 p/u. I picked up a couple of quarts and went to pay for them. This lady was the cashier and she asked if I was putting the fluid in a Ford. I told her it was going into my Chevy. She told me that I had the wrong fluid. I told her that the trans had been rebuilt, and that the builder put F.A. fluid in it, and that's why I was using it in my truck. She insisted, even after the explanation, that I was using the wrong fluid and that if I put that fluid in it I was going the ruin the trans. I bought it and put it in right in front of the store with her looking out watching.....Here we are several years later, and more F.A. fluid, and it's still works perfecly,just like the builder said it would.

You missed the part where you looked it up on the computer... Â 
You think buying parts for a boat is bad?? Â Trying getting parts for a 53 flat fender Jeep with an odd fire Buick 225 under the hood at Autozone. Â Those guys will look at you like you just walked off the moon. Â  Â |
LOL Jeff has the same problem. He loves to go in and tell them that he needs a part for an '05 FatCity Stonecrawler Jeep Liberty. Then they try to put that in the computer. It's one of his favorite games.

That Cracks me up  
Nextime I will tell them that I have AC on my open-bow!!!!
But what I can say for those places is that you can get a alternator for 35 bucks, and whoo cares if it gets wet... Â
Ohh and the funny thing about this thread..... Â When we took the old alternator off, it litterally fell apart in my buddies hand!!!! Lucky we thought to replace it (the 19 volt spikes tipped us off too)

I know the GM 1 Wire will work with the "One wire" Â which is how it is hooked up but doesnt it kick in better if you jumper one of the terminals to the main one wire terminal??? Â And if so which one??? Â Maybe a dumb question but Im-a-asking anyways! |
Seems like I recall someone doing that once and messed it up, not a 100% sure though??..
