Many years ago I had a used 62 Ford 3/4 ton pickup.Had two lugnuts missing,one front,one rear.
Put 40,000 miles on it.
Probably hauled a 1,000 cords of firewood before engine blew.
And we wonder how repair shops get away with charging $200.00 per hour&charge two hours for 1/2 hour job?

maybe the engine blew 'cause the '62 was missing 2 lugnuts!.:S

Maybe....because they can -or- somebody is willing to pay it..:W
But let's get back on topic here......why did the engine blow??..:@
