On the look again. Earlier this week i did front and rear brakes on a dodge ram. Got distracted (talking to my manager) while backing out, brakes werent primed so the truck flew off the alignment rack. Whipped the truck, dodged another vehicle, scraped the truck up. Then today they blamed me for a wheel coming loose (old torque sticks are the devil). So i was let go. Such a ****ty shop.

Lookin for another shop gig. Hopefully in a shop where the manager doesnt like to get his hands dirty, or when you ask a question (like how to enable TPMS learn mode in a 2007 caddilac escalade), makes you feel like a complete idiot. Only job i have lost that i havent felt like crap. I actually felt relieved.

Jeep is good. First i thought i had no thermo (cause it was a stock thermo covered in stop leak in the back of the truck) so i replaced it. Thermo fell in between the housing and head, sounded like i pulled a scott. Then fixed it. Then a couple days ago i was leaking fuel. Fixed that.

Its been busy.

Sounds like you have been busy. Try and take it easy. Good luck finding a new job. I hope you find a good one.
