About 12 yrs ago I had a Chevy Astro Van, bought used, drove the hell out of it for 2 yrs and the motor blew. So my buddy hooks me up w/ his mechanic to do the rebuild, cool guy does great job. I drive it another yr, runs better than ever but I buy a new truck and so I don't really need the van but still have it..cut to 1 yr later and my same buddy is fixing up an S-10 P/U for his 16 yr old son to drive, but it needs a motor...happens to be the exact motor in my van, so my buddy offers to buy the van..cool its gone, he pulls the motor and puts it in the truck..all is well for about a yr...then I don't hear form the guy for an unusually long time so I call him up ...immediate attitude, so I say whats up?..he starts asking me questions about the motor, how often did I change the oil?..how many miles on it? etc.
Turns out his now 17 yr old son blew the 4.3 LTR V6 motor at the crest of a 6,000ft mountain pass while pulling a 16ft enclosed trailer filled with gear...and somehow it was my fault.
Haven't talked to him since...
