                  have two 5.7 hemis in the shop a 09 and a 2010 both with a hole in the block were the piston went both had the valve guides broken and with though the piston both under 50.000 miles have a 2010 mustang with a 5,0 with a spun barring and the list keeps going on Todays cars are JUNK and please don’t tell me you believe that video with the 59 chevy Its been know that it was staged the 59 in the video had NO frame no engine and was badly rusted out Did you see the video with an 09 chevy and a 59 chrysler that was NOT staged both were whole cars There was nothing left of the 09 that even looked like a car So don’t give me that crap that todays cars are safer B/S
                  I have NEVER seen so many engines go bad as I have seen in the last few years we Had good cars in the 60s but today there is NOT one car That I like or would recommend Todays cars are hard to work on cost a hell of a lot to fix and JUST do not hold up Todays cars ARE NOT SAFE as the old cars hands down Just look at that limo that caught fire out near LA turns out the electric fuel pump malfunction Why on earth did any one put a electric fuel pump in the gas tank
                  And just look how well cash for clunkers did All it did is to destroy good cars for crappy unsafe JUNK

                              for the life of me I don’t know why these instructors keep pushing dealerships
                              I am 60 years old started out in 1963 had a ASE master tech (don’t mean crap) if you want to make good money go fleet or heavy. duty diesel tech THAT’s were the money is tell your instructor my benefits I got in in fleet at DHL NO
                              dealership could ever match. plus in the long made a lot more money
                              To get. any kind. of training at a at a dealership you will have to be there a few years plus you got all of the mickey mouse politics with other techs all trying to beat you out at a dealership
                              if you go dealership I guarantee with in a year you will burn OUT. seen this way to many times
                              also a thing to think about is your tools in a dealership you have to keep buying updated tools in fleet you buy a set and your fine
