That time a customer's 'engine knock' was just a socket wrench rolling around in the frame rail

Spent 45 minutes with a stethoscope before we lifted it and the 3/8 drive fell out, dude just laughed and said 'well that's cheaper than a rebuild'. Anyone ever find something truly ridiculous during a diag?

A socket wrench in the frame rail. That's wild. The noise must have been so loud and metallic. Can't believe it took 45 minutes to find it.

Used to think that was impossible until @the_mia proved me wrong.
