Shoutout to the tech who caught my mistake with a 2022 F-150 frame check

Last week in our Spokane shop, I almost cleared a truck with a bent frame because the damage was hidden under a new bed liner. My coworker spotted a 3mm gap difference on the passenger side during the final check. How many of you run a second look on jobs that seem too clean?

A 3mm gap? That's all it was? Man, that's crazy. You can barely even see that. Good thing your coworker was really paying attention.

Spokane shop here too, and @mia_lee is right - 3mm is basically invisible unless you're literally staring at it. I swear my second look is just me pretending to be productive while actually just admiring how clean the job looks.

How did we ever get by without that second look?
