Your final message really hit home with me at the moment, we got a couple of new guys in the shop who prefer messing around or standing there watching, over fixing trucks. One of them talked to me tonight after work about how to move up and not do so many dirty jobs and I just told them if your going to work heavy diesel it’s going to be dirty, diag or not. Being a wrench is not as spectacular as TikTok makes it out to be, it’s hard work that takes learning, determination and passion! Thank you for being real and re affirming that idea and fact of this life! Stay safe out there brother!
@thejunkyarddrifter There is so much truism in this comment. From my experience, those people get weeded out or stay in the lube pit, haha. As you know, we have to love the diesel grind! Thank you for the comment!😁
I watch this type content to learn. The best videos tell a story. It would help if you explained more and brought the camera in to show the part you are working on. Bad slack adjuster? Wish you had shown it so I could see what was bad. Seeing the diagnostic software up close would have added a lot too. You have a chance to show some interesting problems so be sure to take the viewer along for the ride and share you wisdom and knowledge along the way. Hoping you future videos give more insight into the world of a diesel mechanic.
I love emissions for the same reason. Pro tip company called champ mats makes a big mat to lay on for us field service guys. Think it's 4 ft x 3 ft. You'll love it
Dude, glad someone out there feels the same about emissions. Hey, thanks for the info. Iv been buying the most expensive yoga mat I can find. I'll try them out thanks.
Great video thanks, i have been specializing in the parts supply side since 2003 and only qualified last year as a red seal diesel mechanic, in theory i can do most things, but your video showed me i lack a lot of experience. What advice would you give me to make the full transition to diesel mechanic?
@DanieDuToit-fx3ho I am glad you enjoyed the video! I would suggest taking on the jobs that everyone is afraid of. Ask questions, read the instructions and manuals. Don't be afraid to fail. With every repair, there is a lesson to learn. Good luck on your journey. Enjoy the ride.😉
I loved your video. I’m a lady with a Freightliner. I enrolled in an online class to increase my understanding of these things. I want to perform some repairs on my own. ❤ Actually how did you go about becoming a diesel mechanic?
@jross7277 Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That is a good idea. It can save cost if you do some work yourself. I started out going to a tech school, worked in the oil field for some years, and after that, I was in the trash industry before I went out on my own. Good luck to you 👍
