My ire isn't directed at anyone here Brad. It's directed at GMC's son, who put the filter in backwards to start, and the guy who has the nerve to call himself a "tech" who then turns a potentially dirty filter around and reinstalls it. It's as if he had no concept of what a filter actually does, or how it works. He's not a "tech", he's a parts swapper.

I'll second that, that gives us real techs a bad name. He should have just made the costumer aware of the issue, left it as is and tried to get the costumer to understand the potential problems if he were to just put in back in correctly. Then try to make a sell to purchase a new one.(I know it is your truck GMC but talking relatively) At least that is what I would have done.

I just thought I don't want to sound like I am attacking anyone costumer just the tech.

Your right that's how they could have made money as is the up there prices on parts a lot that's why I just took in the new filter and had the same guy do it since I had already tipped him. I know some shops push on selling parts but this was a needed part that made a lot of since to replace.
