Funniest Vehicle Fix or Repair

[Ranger Kip]

If you have ever fixed, repaired, or done something with your truck to make it right or ruin it, as long as it is extremely funny, post it here!

Let me start it off with a few:

I have drained my trucks gas tank using a septic pump.
Removed the back bumper using a wrench and a hacksaw as a hammer.
Smacked my dashboard to remove the key from the steering column (it worked!)
And finally: I have had a barn cat stuck in between my tranny and the bottom pan, had to use a spatcula to remove it XD it was alive, I just needed to pry it out.

well here is a funny story: i was doing an oil change on a 93 toyota t100 and i noticed it had NO power.. couldn't even go 30MPH..

and i also noticed that when i revved the engine at WOT the intake hose would flatten... so im like "what fresh hell is this?" and expected to find a clogged air filter... i found 160 pinecones in the air filter box, air ducts, and inside the fender

not sure if i've posted this here before

as for my ranger.... 1 time i was driving with a friend and we got milkshakes and i had the back windows open and the drivers window down (im sure you guys have had this happen) i threw the empty cup out the back window to land into the bed and the wind caught it and swept it out the bed so i was like "SHIT! littering", but no it was fine because it immediatly came around through the front window and splattered all over the dash and windshield. lolz

Haven't you ever heard of organic air filters?

I was helping my neighbor's freind work on my neighbor's truck (he gave it to him to use for a while), and we were trying to find out why one piston would not move, so we opened the engine trying to see what we thought was a siezed engine, and found a small bird alive in the engine..... it was barely alive because the pistons kept banging it against the headers... I have only wished I had a camera, but it was funny as hell! (later on we found feathers in the gas tank and one cloged the fuel line and dried out the engine, blowing it up).

wow, a bird crawled up the exhuast and managed to get inside the engine. survival of the fittest!

Some of the stuff will make your duct tape U-Joint look safe.

I was on lunch break and went to get my BII inspected, and they failed me due to tires sticking out too far. I ran back to work, grabbed a 55 gallon plastic drum out of the dumpster, bucked it up with a sawzall, and used self tappers to screw the pieces up under the fenders so they went over the tires. I ran back and the manager gave me a sticker....kindof laughing at me while he did.

I sold the truck last year with those pieces still on it, but with the stock tires....looked horrible lol.

not really funny or anything, but i had a 93 escort and went to the jy to get a new intake manifold for it, didnt realize that it had an egr system and my old one didnt. so i took the egr off and stuck a quarter between the gasket and valve, it worked pretty good.

I was out with some friends over the weekend and saw a CRX that had a good one. The exhaust system was being held off the ground by what looked like bailing twine. Redneck engineering (and I saw that because it had South Carolina plates on it) at it's simplest and finest.

my step dads air bag sensor mount rusted off the frame and he just grabbed a chunk o baling wire and tied it to the frame

I attached a tie rod on a 2008 Mack Pinnacle with a coat hanger so I could move the truck off a scale at United Refining in Warren, PA.

The headlights of Brad's truck were falling out, so we using dozens of paperclips to hold them in, we jammed the paper clips in the corner, soldered them on, and then jammed the lights in XD.

We were working on his drive shaft, and he had lost a pin, so we were thinking of where we could get a new pin cheaply and he said to wait here. About 10 minutes later he comes running out with screw driver and a hammer. We jam the screw driver in there, bend the end, and break the handle using the hammer (plastic handle) and we bent that end, we put it back on the truck and it still runs today o_o
