[quote=”stingray66″ post=39144]mine is 18 volt fuel Milwaukee 1/2 impact[/quote]
Is that already out? I didnt think the M18 fuel 1/2 impact was out yet. I will have to look for itNothing exciting here. What appeared to be a dirty diaper in the drivers side floorboard of a van. A Taurus came in once, the back seat was full of trash all the way up to the windows. Have found a few guns while looking for wheel lock tools. Couple weeks ago a Nissan truck came in with obama toilet paper sitting on the dash.
Going to a dealer just for the certifications doesnt seem like a good idea. Besides it is just going to be brand specific certifications anyway. Are certifications even necessary in your area? They are not in mine, I have only been asked about certifications 1 time, they required 2 certifications. Nobody else around here cares about them. But I have never tried to go to work for a dealer.
stingray, sounds like you chose the wrong career. I have been a mechanic for almost 13 years, I still love it. My Dad has been a mechanic for 30+ years, and he still loves working on cars.

I looked it up. It is between the alternator and ac comp. Says you have to take the alternator off to get to it, but I dont remember if you can get it without removing the alt.

Mild fuel injected 302, AOD trans, 3.5″ lift, fullwidth 1/2 ton axles, disc brakes front and rear, 35-37″ tires. It will be a driver and occasional offroad rig. I’ve got ideas for another after I get this one on the road. It will have stretched wheelbase, 1-ton axles, 3-link front suspension, hydraulic assist steering, maybe 4-link rear suspension, maybe use the 351 out of the 74 and put a stroker kit in, C6 trans, Atlas transfer case, 40-42″ tires on military hummer beadlocks.

If it is something you enjoy doing then push on. It’s not as bad as some would lead you to believe, atleast for me it isn’t. I have been a auto tech for going on 13 years and I still love it. I have had crappy employers, but that probly goes with any career choice. Just dont settle for a crappy employer and low pay.
What makes you think the automotive industry is dead?
