2014 kia optima came into have a steering clunk diagnosed. They were told it probably needed tierods. Check the front end out anyway to give the customer peace of mind. Ended up with the very common issue of the plastic coupler disintegrating. This applies to both hyundais and kia so if you have an issue with clunky steering, this is probably the problem.

Jeremy over at Retroshop hooked it up with a custom tumbler. May offer these down the road soon!

This 2012 Dodge Ram came in with a slight engine tick and a misfire on cylinder 2. Customer had the spark plugs and coil pack replaced by another shop but the misfire persisted. As suspected lifter had failed on cylinder 2 and dug into the camshaft. Removed the oil pan to look for further damage and found oil to be sludged up. Heads were sent out to be gone through and resurfaced. Factory camshaft, lifters, timing components, bolts, and gaskets were installed. Replaced the MDS solenoids during the repair, all of which broke, as expected. Replaced the oil pump, pick up tube and cleaned the pan. Was able to clean the surface if the pistons of the carbon and oil residue. All components were assembled with assembly l**e, torqued to spec, and marked. Truck is now cured of its exhaust leak, hemi tick, and misfire.
