Hey Eric,
Thanks for the videos! Look forward to them every week.
Anyway, so I’ve been working on organic farms for a number of years – I’m 31 – and I’m considering going to a tech college to get a degree in Diesel Te hnology. I’ve spent some time working on vehicles and machinery and think that it may be something I’d enjoy professionally. As you can imagine working on farms is super tough financially and would love to actually earn a living wage – being poor at my age really sucks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not all about the money, but its definitely something to consider when approaching a possible new career. I enjoy jobs that are physical and dirty! And also, I can’t do an office!!
Basically I would like your thoughts on persuing something along these lines and if you think there’s a future in it. Again, I’v done stuff like oil changes on trucks/tractors, fuel lines, starter motors, etc. – never done anything like replaced a trans or split a tractor though… You think its a wise choice to get a 1 or 2 year degree?
Thanks! Keep on doing what you do!
Hey. Love the website, videos and all the great content in general. Excellent work! One thing that I’ve noticed, however, is that I have a lot of trouble reading forum content when I’m trying to browse on my phone (which I tend to do). The text is really small and I end up having to scroll back and forth across my phone’s screen. I wonder if there’s any way to address this? I feel like after the forum was updated some time ago this became more of an issue… Thanks!
i just wanted to add that i changed my distributor cap and rotor today on my 2003 dodge dakota 3.9l and when following the haynes manual “clockwise” from the front on the engine (front of truck) diagram for the plugs to cap, the truck misfired like crazy. figured out the manual actually has it backwards – no good. got it fixed kinda angry at the manual though!

hey hemikid,
it seems to shake more when accelerating, but in general it just runs really rough. no misfire codes, though. theres a chyrsler trick where you can turn the key to the on position then back to off three times and it lists the codes on the odometer. i get a 442 and 455 which are both evap leaks. its weird that it happens (the rough condition) only in the afternoon.
