Rant: Found out our shop's AOA probes are way overdue for replacement
Was digging through the maintenance logs last night for a 737 we've been working on, and I found out the angle of attack probes haven't been swapped since 2018. That's 6 years on a part that's supposed to be replaced every 24 months per the manufacturer. I checked the last annual and the shop signed off on them like they were fine. Now I'm stuck arguing with the lead about ordering new ones because he says they 'still read okay.' Has anyone else found stuff like this buried in the paperwork at your hangar?

2018 probes are basically antiques at this point, might as well be running on hopes and prayers.

Six years overdue and they signed it off anyway? That's terrifying, you'd think that'd be the first thing a lead wants to swap before a lawsuit happens.
