This happened at oreilly's.
I walk in tell the guy I needed a left cv shaft for a 02 s10 blazer he stares at me a second and does some stuff of his computer and looks at me and says 2wd or 4wd I just looked at him and said really!? I think ill just go to advance.
My Dad and grandma owned a parts store here in town for 40 years and of course I grew up in it helpin dad and what not. I've been around cars my whole life and know a little but(not near the knowledge my dad has but enough to get me by) when I go into advance they just have me look it up myself lmao or ask what book I need lol
When a new person starts they always let me **** with them a little haha then they finally just say he's knows more about this catalog system then all of us so just let him look it up

Ive been callin salvage yards and transmission shops looking for a 4l80e.
Everytime they ask me what year my truck is, I just say one from 99 up will work. (I know other years will also work.) Then they ask, "what's this going in?" I tell them an 02 half ton. They always tell me that it's not going to fit, I'm going to have to run another computer for it and modify everything under my truck. I tell them I know plenty of people who have done it and it's not that hard. If its a transmission shop they go on a spill about how the 4l60e is a good transmission and how they can build one that will handle anything I throw at it.
My favorite is always "why do you want to do that to a truck?" or "your going to run a 3600 stall!?"
My friends dad swears that a stall is going to make my truck slower..
