This guy worked for Sunbelt Rentals. He was being considered to move up from
salesman to branch manager, from about 40K to about 95K

Well, he got drunk at a Panthers game, sitting 3 seats away from the North
American President of Sunbelt Rentals, and got in a fight and was removed
from the stadium by the police.  You tell me.

I'm Not an engineer, nor a mechanic. Never have claimed to be either. More
than one technician has told me that the engines they work on today don't
run right if the exhaust is altered, or if components of the original system
are removed. Does this include Resonators and Cat's,  I don't know

Shove your semantics where the sun don't shine Matt.
You call it an inside door handle.
GM calls it a control assembly,door and lock

You call it a headlamp assembly (for Composite Bulbs)
GM Calls it a Capsule. Doesn't look like the kind you take drugs in, nor one
that goes into space.

You call it an alternator.
GM still calls it a GENERATOR.  Doesn't look like a Generator, I don't think
GM has used a generator since 1965.
BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY CALL IT.

I don't know, What I do know is I once applied 400 cylinder heads to a 305
or 350 engine in 8 hours, 5 days a week (just one side) and got to look in
the cases before the intakes were put on, and they were all steel grey. This
engine, pushrods, rocker arms, everything was gunmetal blue, I supposed from
excessive heat.

It didn't need a valve job. The dealership looked underneath the thing and
said they wouldn't touch it. How do I know this? I just asked the Service
Manager at Sunbelt why they were taking the engine apart on a truck with 24K
on it. He told me they wouldn't work on it.
