It can happen even there is no paperwork done on it. I did some time as a wrench-turner for a Ford dealership. A recently-sold Lincoln Navigator came in to the shop because the owner complained that there was a drivetrain whine at about 100 MPH. So, we took off a driveshaft from a new Ford Explorer and put it on the Lincoln Navigator and we put the Lincoln Navigator driveshaft on the Explorer. The Navigator no longer had a whine at 100 mph. (Boy, wasn't that fun a fun test drive to see if it was fixed!) The rationale is that the future owner of the Explorer will probably never go over 100 mph. Problem solved, right? Not so fast. The Navigator driveshaft was made out of aluminum. The Explorer driveshaft is made of steel. So somewhere in the world there is a Lincoln Navigator that has a steel driveshaft (and shouldn't have) and somewhere there is an Explorer that has an aluminum driveshaft (and shouldn't have). Someday, that MIGHT have some tech scratching their head about how they got there, but the book will never show it. Before you jump all over me about doing a repair that shouldn't have been done, my hands were tied.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
