      delmar has a good online guide for the L1…its the only study guide I used, mostly to learn about 5 gases since I ve never had any previous experience with them or needing to know about them before.

      I dont think the L1 is really something you can study for though…But the delmar online has some practice test you can take also.

          Toyota Karl is correct, I dont know what part of the country you are in, but the big machine industry like CAT, is HUGE right now and paying VERY VERY well.

          Worth a shot.

              I get paid per job…if I can use a resource that can lead me in the right direction right off the bat, and allow me to correctly diag. a car faster….Hell yes I am all over that. Who wouldnt be?! Call it whatever you want, ill call it a fat pay check!

              I ve used it before, it is VERY helpful, has factory repair manuals, Service bulletions and other publications. VERY helpful. Not only will it Give you confirmed fix’s but also how to confirm whatever you are testing is faulty in case you are not familiar with that make/model/part.

                  From spending my time in the aftermarket world, and then making the switch to a Dealership… I have noticed two kinds of “Trainees” I have gotten.
                  1.) are the types of guys who come lube rack, have a good attitude, dont think they know everything, and are willing to learn and do some of the “easy” work that comes part of being an entry level tech.
                  2.) The other type is the guy who thinks they are to good to be doing oil changes and lube rack work, thing they are master techs b.c. they know a few things, and dont want to listen to anyone and end up with bad attitudes b.c. things dont go their way….

                  NO ONE jumps into this being a master, or at the top. You need experience, you need your certs, and you gotta deal with the shit work for now. Sounds like you have a pretty good boss if he is willing to give you a good reference after what happened, I would take that and run with it.

                  A dealership is a great place to make a lot of money, if you stick around, learn your manufacturer and become one of the best.

                  Good luck.

                                  Yes. That is ok. Long term will not change as you sit there and rev the car, short term will be the one thats responsive in that situation.

                                  Nothing wrong with -6% though.
