Always taking questions , even if I’m not on here I still get notified . So feel free to ask any mechanical question you have ! Before you go spend 195.09 a hour . You and I can fix it right here !!!.

You know I have watched a lot of people try and diag there own car problem , but most get a intiminated right from the start! Because they are overthinking the problem, they are looking under the hood at all of these things!switches relays wires bolts nuts everything looks complicated .. But the truth is everything they are looking at will most likely never will be the problem ! Ofcourse the car is a complicated piece of technology , you don’t have to know what everything does ! You have to look at the immediate problem . Now do some research find out what usually is related to the issue. That puts you on the hunt.there is YouTube best thing ever invented ,google now chat gpt. So much free info available! Now you have an idea what the issue is , time to pull some codes . Codes won’t tell you what the problem is only test tell that! But codes can steer you in the right direction ! We as in technicians don’t change the sensor because it has a code.we diagnose what caused that code , because that’s your actual problem . Sensors take readings from engine exhaust they basicly smell the exhaust . If the fuel is being properly delivered to the engine then the o2 sensor request no changes all sensors are within their set parameters . But if the fuel delivery is not good , the exhaust will not smell right to the o2 sensors .then they will send that info to the ecm , at which time the ecm will start making adjustments in fuel delivery to bring the exhaust back up not its perimeters ! So we only change a sensor if he sensor is out of its perimeters . Which is below or above the own voltage ! But people have been mislead and sensors are flying off the shelf! Because the zone said it was bad lol.you can save thousands by fixing your own vehicle . But people get intimidated , don’t let the car intimidate you. What do you have to lose ? I have had customers bring vehicles in and after a small interrogation , they basicly told me what the problem was but they wasn’t comfortable with their diag skills ! But they was right had they went and just changed the part they diagnosed they could have saved money !now if you wanted to work for a car dealership or somewhere , then you would have to know everything . But not to fix your own car!

Projects , why do mechanics have all these projects ?????? They have them because the projects are like a tax free savings accounts ! For example my project at the moment is a 1957 backhoe , it’s in terrible condition , but the Eng and trans are good . Steering inop can’t even drive it ! Rear arm only moves one way major prob with swing arm . Cylinders leaking but working ! Tires bad !! So you ask why on earth would anyone want this heap. Simple answer unless they are a mechanic it’s completely worthless. But if you are . You see I bought it for 500 bucks . That’s less then scrap price . I have assessed the work ordered parts and am well in the way to making it mechanically sound !!!! Then grind it down put a cheap paint job on it I will have about 1000 dollars in parts . Of course a lot of labor , but this machine will sell for 9000 dollars. That’s why we do it because we can , you don’t have to be a super tech to fix this old stuff up and make a lot of money . I can do it you can do it , this takes common sense not mechanical skills ! So don’t be shy if you can buy it cheap buy it. Fix it sell it.

Welcome to the newest members . I really appreciate you joining .

Data centers .what are they really for ? Some people believe they are to store data ! Some people believe they are to control humans ! There is a lot of theories out there! There is a lot of secrets too. Why ? I mean you. Can expect the conspiracy theories if there is very little information available ! The gov knows this , so why are they not giving more info ? What do you believe I’m interested in knowing what people think !
