Can you tell your mechanic friend to move near me
My Tale
I took my f250 to get u joints replaced --it was making some noise and needed it that weekend for Camping
3 ujoints in the back section ( 4x4 not touched )
when I picked it up it was ok in the city ( but when I went on the hway it vibrated bad) had to get off at the first exit) and went to the garage the slow way
you have a tire out of balance -- I busy and can not look at it for a few days
the short Story
Had to use the car to go camping
they bent drive shaft (I had to take in to another shop to get it balanced they added 3-1/2 oz to one side of drive shaft)
they put universals 2of 3 ( greasable) in the wrong way so you can't grease them -and did not use a torque wrench on the bolts
sorry your truck is old and we can't do anything-- no refund -- no pay for balance-
Sorry for the vent
do not even use that gas station to even get gas now
You have a great Mechanic
