If it makes you feel better you aren't alone... I've been hit hard by the plague!
Two engines and a transmission ($4000+) in my diesel dually in 105 miles!!!
Yes you read that right.....
Engine cracked a piston.... Found a replacement and somehow managed to drop a nut into the head during installation.... Made it 100 miles before the nut lodged between a valve and seat..... Repaired engine, two new pistons w rings, one rod, all new rod bearings, a head, head gasket, and head bolts..... For it together and in 5 miles the trans locked up and slid me to a stop.... Been working on this damn truck since August!
Just pulled it out of the shop again tonight.... Have a couple loose ends to tie up and then I'm doing a trans, t-case, and header on the jeep... Then gotta get geared up for a 1000 mile trip to TX for a new job..... Wheeeeeeeee
