I told him to now go back to the dealer and have them flush it out and put in a new filter and new fluid. Any other suggestions?
Nope - unless someone else has a suggestion, that should cover it. I doubt any damage was done, but like a lot of young fellas, he has to learn somehow, eh? Let him learn - we all get better with experience and the best way to get that is to do it yourself - although it can be an expensive education. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
You're right about the guys using the cheap/free shop on the bases - they're a fantastic idea and I'm glad they get the opportunity to use those garage units. They don't get paid very much for what they do and a little perk like that is a good thing imo - but it gets get them in trouble sometimes. I did hear a story about air-gun greasing a Yukon with the suspension unloaded and grease flying everywhere when the grease boot blew back off the joint. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Speaking of which, I have to go pick up a new grease boot for my truck tomorrow to replace one I tore when the lower control slipped on the racing jack while I was taking off one of the knuckles <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> - so stuff happens to all of us.
Hope you get it worked out ok - when you're yelling at him on the phone, just remember he'll be back before too long and might come looking for you! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
