We've got this truck in the shop because the suspension is basically falling out from under it. I'm rebuilding the drive axles and suspension away from the truck itself, but once I'm done with them I'll need to cut a lift axle off, rebuild it, and weld it back in. Well, the truck is kind of full of ammonium nitrate and fuel. Plus it has a bunch of oil, dust, dirt, hydraulic fluid, road grime, grease, dead deer, and probably ammonium nitrate dust crusted all over it. So, how dangerous is that crap? I have the option of putting the drive axles back in and telling the owners to leave, empty the truck, then return for the rest of the job. Or, once it's mobile again, just steam clean the holy hell out of it and go back to work. What would you do?
