I have an alignment shop. One time we were shaking down a front end and felt a ton of play in an outer tie rod. I put an estimate together and let the customer know what we found and how much it would be. He approved the repair so we went to work. Once we got the wheel off we found that at some point someone had failed to tighten the nut all the way, which was causing the play we felt. We simply tightened the nut and went ahead with the alignment and pleasantly surprised the customer when we were done. I couldn’t help but wonder how many shops might have gone ahead with the new tie rod without anyone knowing any different. It feels good to be an honest mechanic.

Did either of you guys hear like like a puffing sound. This is crazy mine is doing the same thing but it at the dealer. The noise is exactly the same no check engine light. I'll shi* if thst all it is a loose spark wire there so backed up I won't know for 3 weeks.. It ended up being the injectors oring had blown out on the passanger bank. They replaced them under warranty as I had new ones installed all 8, 4 months prior. Then afterwards I had a really intermittante miss. Which was way more notable since having working injectors. After more back and fourth bs with the dealer chalked it up, to the chevy miss as they say. I decided to pull two plugs for inspection. All 8 were trashed, new delco plugs and nappa wires that's all I could find. I've got to say in all my years of doing plugs and wires these were the worst I'd ever seen. But faulty injectors I imagine did not help either. It took a couple of drive cycles to clear up. The biggest thing is after the tune up it correct the irradic idle Knock on wood back to normal for now..

You really are a nice guy! I generally work on my own stuff, but sometimes you just gotta take it in. I haven’t found a decent mechanic since my last excellent mechanic retired. Now they just replace stuff until they get to the actual failure. (How I feel anyways.) works with the newer vehicles somewhat, but older vehicles have so little to go wrong that when I’m stumped it takes a very experienced mechanic to get to the issue. Just really hard to come by in my area of the world I guess,,,,,.

That is EXACTLY what happened to my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. That ticking noise started a few weeks before I changed my spark plugs at 100K miles. Then, when I was changing them, the front right coil wire just fell off into my hand when I pulled it from the plug. It was barely connected (if at all). I reconnected it adding some dielectric grease. Viola! no more ticking noise. That had been the problem all along. Now I check it ever once in a while because I don't know why it came loose in the first place. But it's been 3 months and no problems so far.
