All I am saying, is I always multiply the time for repair on projects by three...and am always wrong...it takes me longer. Read an article where the guy said changing the oil cooler o-rings took about an hour or hour-and-a-half. I thought, OK, I can tackle the 4-hour job on Sunday.

Well...took me 8 hours total. Hours 5-7 were the worst...couldn't get the front housing onto the cooler tube. FINALLY got it.

Anyway, I am just a horribly inept repair guy...or do you guys suffer from OARTS "over ambitious repair timeframe syndrome" as well?

 

I might be even worse then you. Re-sleeved my passenger side fuel supply line & did FRx...

7 hours. Should've taken 2, maybe 3.

Honestly the worst day I've had working on this truck overall. Sometimes everything that can go wrong will.

 

I remember learning in a psychology class that it's human nature to underestimate the amount of time a given task will take. I know I do it all the time. My 2 hour jobs routinely become all day.
