I popped in to see my local mechanic today to ask if he would fit new UJs on my truck since the prop has been vibrating since I upgraded/lifted the suspension.
He told me I'm a cruiser Hypochondriac. Apparently it is quite common. These are the typical symptoms:
preoccupation with mechanical problems
persistent fear of having a mechanical fault despite mechanic's reassurance
misinterpretation of symptoms
symptoms that may shift and change
no apparent mechanical disorder that can account for symptoms
the affected person may recognise that the fear of having a mechanical problem may be excessive, unreasonable, or unfounded.
.... He then drew my attention to the fact that I have changed my suspension twice in the last 6 weeks and that I'm the only person he knows who ever changes the gearbox/transfer/diff oil. Oh yes, and that I keep changing hoses which appear to be normal.. I can think of a few more examples which he doesn't know about.
Are there any fellow sufferers out there?
