Hello all, just visiting from

A similar thing happened to me when I took my truck in for a recall. The difference here was that I saw the Mechanic leave the lot with my truck. 15 minutes later he returns....the brakes smelled hot, and the bonehead shut the engine down with over 650F showing on the Pyrometer (yes it is a modified Dodge Diesel dyno'd at over 370 Rear wheel HP) normal around town temp is about 450-500F...I smelled a Rat......I vented on the service manager and felt much better.
This is definately not an isolated case. I admit that I abuse my truck, but I want to be the one that screws it up...not some idiot Monkey at the dealer.
