Maybe I'm getting old, but I used to think words meant something, and when put together into a sentence or phrase, connote even more.
I just went looking for some injectors for one my 6.2 (Detroit built) diesel Chevys and also my 94 Ford with the turbo-diesel 7.3 (IH) engine. Shouldn't be complicated I thought. I used to work in a diesel shop, so I know a little. Went to Ebay, and found several diesel shops selling "remanufactured" and "new" injectors. What a bunch of bullsh*t! One place down south, describes injectors that are remanufactured - not just "cleaned up." So I call to order them, and guess what - NO new parts. Just cleaned up and tested yet advertised as "remanufactured." The guy then offers to sell me "new" injectors, that are actually old injector bodies with new tips - which is what a "rebuilt" injector is - in my mind.
I called another place that has an ad on Ebay for "new" injectors at $18 apiece, no shipping charge, for 7.3 diesels, turbos and non-turbos. This place is in Canada. So, I call - and the guy gives me a price of $239 for eight, plus shipping. Hmmm, something wrong here. 8 X 18 = $239 plus shipping ?? So, I called back, and asked if maybe the mixup what based on the Canadian exchange rate? Nope. Just bullsh*t, take it or leave it.
I found this repeated with just about every place I tried to order from.
So, I ask, has the English language and commonly used mechanical terms changed all of a sudden? And, are these diesel shops all getting together and getting crooked in unison?
