I’m guessing you already did this but since you rebuilt all those parts. I’m hoping you bleed the brake system. I’m pretty sure the proportion valve has to be replaced because it can not be rebuild. Also check the metering valve while your at it just incase something went wrong with that.
My biggest socket size is a 38mm. But my biggest wrench size is a 70mm Made by armstrong. Don’t use it but I saw it at a yard sale and thought it would be a nice garage decoration.

Four dollars an hour more flat rate? Or do you work hourly. Right now it’s been slow at my ford dealership a lot of stupid warranty work.
Fords are pretty easy to work on lol (I’m a GM Guy) Diagnosis wise you’ll love the IDS (Fords Scan Tool) prob the best manufacture scan tool out there in my opinion & the PTS website (ford’s technician website) is awesome as well. But just remember if you start at a new place you’ll have to start from the ground up until you learn Ford’s in and out. If you have any further questions let me know.

Well that stinks. It Hasn’t happen up here yet in the seacoast of NH. Hopefully it won’t come to that point either because then they won’t be having much of a service department when all the techs walk out. lol

If your dealership doesn’t stand behind you & are starting to pass on the risk to you I would leave there asap. Work at another dealer or might as well do your own thing and start your own shop if your going to be taking all the risk.

This happends all the time at my dealership. I’ve learned the hard way sadly enough. I tell everyone if there No R.O (repair order) i’m not working on it. Or if they want me to work on it get it on a repair order.

What upsets me is that the “Average Joe” does not understand the difference between Jiffy Lube/Quick Lube vs Certified repair shops. Jiffy Lubes, Valveolines & other quick lube places do not have legal licenses to do any other work then fluids & filters and most of there workers are just the weekend DIY’er that think they are an actual automotive technician. Gotten into plenty of arguements with employees of these companies, because they actually think there techs so I ask them “can I see your ASE’s” they go off saying that there’s no need to have them blah blah blah.
But some customer’s just drive me crazy because they are Mr./Mrs. know it all because either there cousin works at Jiffy Lube/Auto Zone or there uncle was a technician back in the 60’s.
I’ve said this over and over again.
Demand for qualified technicians is UP & Supply is going down sooner or later there will be no one wanting to work as a technician. Prices will sky rocket for service. Doe’s anyone agree or have there own opinion about my theory.

When I started off as a technician I got $10 an hour for like 3 months then got switched over to flat rate (Been in the field off and on for 2-3 years now. They wonder why technicians are leaving the field and they can’t keep them in. They come out with 30-40k of school loan debt (350 monthly payment), have to buy tools to work (Monthly payment of $100), let alone if they have there own place and have other bills to pay it’s a setup for failure. Especially with the flat rate system which guy’s are struggling to bill 30 hours per week.
I looked down the post and was interested at what Electrician Apprentice’s make per hour & Plumber apprentice’s make per hour so I decided to look it up and I was honestly shocked.
Electrician Apprentice-$10.00-$18.00
Plumber Apprentice-$10.00-$16.00When I started off as a technician I got $10 an hour for like 3 months then got switched over to flat rate (Been in the field off and on for 2-3 years now.
