All my brothers of the wrench, be you independent techs, dealer guys, owner/operators, how's things going? Whatcha been up to?
The work load in my hood has fallen off drastically. It should be the busiest time of the year, with several cars left over from the day before, but we've been running out of work at around 10-11 AM for the past month or so. Things are looking pretty ugly...and management hired two more technicians, when we don't have the work load to support what we've got. Fortunately at least, with the weather, A/C work has been fairly consistent. I ain't been doing great, but I've been holding my own...barely. |

600 new vehicles enroute (mostly pickups, but over 70 fire engines in there), 800 more with no eta. Not enough parts to outfit everything, not enough space to store them all while we build them out, and to make it even better we are not standard across make, model, or even trim.
We managed to hire a guy to oversee the build out, I hope he doesn't quit half way through. On the plus side, I got a second mechanic for my Hq shop hired and the guy is a rock star. Really knows his shit and requires almost no direction. Interviewing 7 more in a couple of weeks. I have 12 empty positions in the southern half of CA if anyone is looking for full benifits and a pension. Base wage is about 72k a year, with a lot of OT if its wanted. My highest paid guys are between 160 and 210k per year. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TrashWrencher: Fabick is coming tomorrow. I’ll provide an assist, but I have 3 other pieces of equipment to deal with. So, no pics because I didn't think to take them. I found out two things yesterday. One, that a former operator (had moved on to greener pastures) knocked the keyswitch buzzer out of it's mounting point on the fuse panel on the 836 last year. I don't know why, but it's what he did. Also, the ECM shares the hot for that switch, and when that hot touches metal, it takes power from the ECM, blows several fuses, and kills the machine dead. 3 fuses and remounting the buzzer properly fixed the ECM issue. Secondly, the average life of transmission solenoids for this machine is about 6k hours. Right after the machine got up and running, and while the fabick tech was still there, the machine started moving like the parking break was quarter on. #6 is 1st gear reverse, and when it's partially engaged while the machine is moving forward, things go fucky. I'm on vacation next week, thank god. |

Iirc, the coolant flow sensor was causing a low coolant flow alarm. The low coolant flow was caused by the c18(15? Don’t remember what this k has) and the cylinder sleeve issue a serial number range had. Jokes on him. The buzzer he knocked out, and that was causing the issue, only sounds when the key is turned. The warning buzzer is behind the fuse panel and is on a separate deutsch connector. |

I didn’t either until I was told to disconnect the alarm and looked at the part’s manual to find it.

It’s a 2024 Hyundai sonata hybrid. Was afraid whatever engine it had was the same platform that has been giving Kia fits. |

Thanks, bro. I’d still feel better if my mom wanted a Subaru.
Nothing against the Koreans. Her current car is a 13 Elantra. But, I really think at 74, with a 76 year old husband that has health issues, she’d be better off with a really good AWD for emergencies or doc appointments in poor weather. |

It was over run with oil lease guys trying to charge us for hunting on their property (we were on private with permission) and bow hunters trespassing. Lease guys called the fur and feather cops on us multiple times in two weeks. Haven't been back since, and we hear it's only gotten worse there.

2007 Nissan xterra. 210,000 miles. Regular oil changes. Regular maintenance done. My significant other is religious about it.
2-3 months ago had a active CEL for cylinder three misfire. And RR downstream o2 sensor. Slap a new plug and coil on it as a temporary measure. Full intentions of changing everything later. Life got in the way and didn’t happen. Was driving down the road two weekends ago and check engine light comes on flashing and she’s running rough. I park it and a fellow forklift mechanic brings me a code scanner. P0300 multiple misfires. Get the truck flatbedded to the house and pull the spark plugs. And the passenger side bank looks like they may have had a little oil on them. The other side dry and fucked. Slap new plugs,New coils. And send. Still misfiring like hell. Snap on bro loans me an Apollo scanner and I’ll admit it. These gas engines, hell all engines aren’t my forte but I’m trying. I changed the right side upper and lower o2 sensor and from the screen grab it doesn’t look like it’s coming online. Can anyone with more experience help me out a little.

Skid steer comes in and the guy says it won't move and that it has a right motor speed sensor fault. I pop the drain plug and can see what's left of the bearings in one of the planet gears. I also see a small leak around the duo-cone seal. Pop the cover off and no oil comes out and it has summer teeth. I pull up its history and see that the last 3 times it came in, it was written up that the right final was leaking. Just kick that can down the road.
Then, while I was doing my inspection I saw that the DEF gauge wasn't reading but had no codes for any DEF faults. I peek into the engine bay and find the DEF injector unplugged, lines removed and screws jammed into the lines. I look down into the belly at the DCU and see it's unplugged as well. Fully documented that shit as I'm not touching it. |

Figure out why you have no/weak spark there on the one hole. There is a good chance the o2 sensor is correct and you are super rich on Bank 1. |

Catalysts like to come apart after a misfire and clog the exhaust. A vacuum gauge is the least intrusive way to check. Xterra exhaust systems don’t like to come apart easy.

Things happened.  Attached File Attached FileBad things. Don’t know if it happened when the left side final had a glorious failing a couple months ago (had to wait forever for a aftermarket complete final on this 963B), or after the final was replaced and it was driven up to shop. If I had to make an educated guess, when the left failed, and my boss spent a hour trying to get the whole machine to move before calling us, he borked the right side, too. |

We've got a C model in the shop right now that chewed up some stuff in its final. Tech was able to get tracked to the door but then had to resort to using our 30-ton floor jack to creep the right side ahead as he slowly drove in with only the left driving. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TrashWrencher: Cat guys: in case I strike out, can someone tell me if they have a source/availability for (1) 7P-9872 and (3) 3W-5501? Prefer new, but aftermarket or good used will do. I'll see what I can find in the AM. The last 963 final we did, we had to wait forever for parts but the customer found some "good" used parts so that we could get it together quicker. It came back a few weeks later with sheered brake frictions and steels.

Fabick surprised the shit out of me by finding new parts, albeit in Germany, which adds a bunch of shipping. Boss won’t be off vacation until Monday, and at the end of the fiscal year, I’m not authorizing $8k in parts and shipping without his ok. |

They use the same parts store stuff that we do so whatever I find will likely be the same, but I'll still give it a shot. One of our stores keeps a decent inventory of good used parts. I don't have access to their inventory though, but I could get their number for you. |
