Found this on our walk this morning. I think the dogs are saying “what the buck?”

now THAT is funny....I see one being put on a friends truck without his knowledge.

Payback for when I finally noticed a pair of 1/2" nuts hanging under my hitch by some string.

It’s a valid question. Automatics have all sorts of clutches in them, and most transmissions are automatic. 
As someone who orders a lot of parts, the system is what it is. You get the prompts and you have to pick an option to move on, whether or not it seems relevant. Sometimes they’re weird prompts, but it’s worth it to the company to eliminate a bunch of incorrect parts so there’s a higher chance of selling you the right ones on the first attempt, and often the question is going to be easier to answer for most people to answer, like most people aren’t going to know their trim level but they will know whether or not they have power seats. Not every system lets you choose a “don’t know” when it doesn’t matter, but sometimes it does matter in a way you wouldn’t expect, so it’s worth answering the questions correctly.

 

The questions may seem dumb, but either know what you need and come in armed with a part number or don’t complain about having to play the parts counter game. Most parts chains have an online catalogue and inventory so you can look up what you need on your own if you don’t want to play. Most of them now even let you order and pay online before you leave home and will have it ready so you just walk in and pick it up when you get there, so you don’t have to talk to the kids at the counter at all. 

And know that it works both ways. As soon as you walk out the parts counter staff are going to laugh at you and call you a dumbass for not just answering the questions, same as if you modified your vehicle but answer all the questions like the part is in the vehicle you put it in then get to the end and then say “but it came out of this” and make them start all over again.
