This one wasn't nearly as funny as the one where the guy got his oil extraction pump stuck in the pan. I almost died laughing reading the comments to that one.

OMG a hose down the dipstick tube... what an idiot... lol tell me why this guy has a cobra mustang if he does stupid stuff like that...

 

I tried taking it out for days finally i gave in towed it to a shop where they took out then engine and removed the magnet. Ended up costing me 700 dollars but the truck has been running great.

 

ah...

 

How big of piece of magnet was it?

 

What did they remove the engine for ? So they could tip it upside down and shake it ?

jk

I guess it would be a little easier on a stand, - just seems a extreme. Hell, you might as well pull the head at that point.

Did they say exactly where they found it ?

Rest assured, - it may have easily cost you allot more ignoring it.

 

Hard to charge $700. unless you do a bunch of work. That's called maximizing profit! What don't you understand about that Brew???
I wonder if the OP actually saw the engine out of the truck. Not saying they didn't actually do the work they charged him for, but sad to say, in the years I spent in automotive work I saw way to many times that people were charged for work that NEVER HAPPENED, because it didn't NEED to happen. That always greatly upset me, as thievery always does. I'm still betting I could have gotten it out without pulling anything. I always liked a challenge, and there's definitely more than one way to skin a cat (or in this case remove a magnet).

 

Pshh, I pull my engine every time It needs a plug change.

 

Right, I can't stand seeing thievery like that or one taking advantage of another. I've seen it, - stood right next to someone while they lied about everything lol. How anyone can do that is beyond me, - then try to involve you on top of it. You know, back them up
Well, I'm sure everyone has been in that position at least once.

Anyywayyy.... - They most likely just removed the head.

There's a few ways I may have tried as well. One would be closing the valves, locking the crank then blasting with air. Yehaw!

 

I pull the cab/clip. That way you can sit on the tire while changing the plugs..

 

I wouldn't argue price with the guy that could hold it up-side down and shake the motor!

 

Right! Leave a tip.

 

Yea, the tip is....... don't EVER mess with that guy!
