Re: Can a brake stand launch cause harm?
Another technician I work with was on a road test with a scan tool and was watching some PID's at a red light. He torqued it up, staring intently at the screen the whole time. All of the sudden, he notices smoke just flooding into the passenger compartment. Turns out, he had the A/C on and the windows up, and the smoke was being pulled in through the fresh air inlet. The source? The dual rear tires just spinning away. It was so smooth, he didn't feel it. And since the blower was on high, he didn't hear it either.
The funny part was trying to explain it to the sheriff who was waiting in line behind him....
Next time, I'll tell you about the infamous Lightning test drive. The vehicle was in for an oil change, and wasn't marked as a waiter. The tech (same one) took it for a spin around the block. Later, the owner was livid, asking why he had 9 additional miles on his truck. The tech was called in, and asked about the 9 miles. He replied, "sure the rear tires turned 9 miles, but the fronts only turned 4."
