Want to talk about wiring.
Toggle switches are expensive so just tape the broken one back together and just wrap the wires around the terminals the switch worked sometimes. The two wires for the alternator were taped together like that with nothing separating the stripped wires. The red wires are hot and were found like that under the dash and I found it because I could hear it sparking while driving down the road. And one of my favs I'm told It doesn't overheat while idling but when you start driving it the temp just shoots up to hot. Yes that is the temp sender sitting against the header.
I was pretty sure this wiring was from my father inlaw's horse trailer until I scrolled down to the last pic that showed the header. Good stuff right there!

Traded this Silverado 1500 in. Guy put 1" wheel spacers on without trimming OEM studs down to be flush with spacer . So all 4 wheels were seated only on the tips of the factory studs. The tires are half tread so you have to think that they'd been running like this for several thousand miles.

They also welded in a aftermarket muffler that must be 2.5" in/out so they got real creative with their reducers and welding. Possibly the worst welding I've ever seen.
The guy that welded this exhaust pipe is the same exact guy that welded the 4" stainless tip on the end of the 3.5” on my just bought LB7. I've got a pic somewhere...can't find it right now.

Someone thought they would stretch this 16' trailer 10' and make a double car hauler out of it...

Never ceases to amaze me. A lot of the people doing this half-arsed work would call themselves 'diesel mechanics' too, I'm sure

All of these pics are from one shop here in az. People still go to him and then wind up bring it to me or one of the shops I know that actually does good work. Then I hear about it when we all talk.

I'm surprised he ain't dead yet. One guy I was told about damn near did it
