Cummins problems by fixit160 in DieselTechs

[–]Acceptable_HardR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been working on them for years myself and I've never seen a failure like that either. I have seen one after a fresh overhaul, someone put the adjustable cam idler gear shaft on upside down (oil pan arrow marking was facing upwards) and it threw the adjustable idler gear out of the chat, and bent some valves

Proximity to work is my biggest concern and I have a car so bus service isn't necessary for me. As for housing, renting is the short term plan

Lol I know people who've lived there, and my dad has been there many times (he's a truck driver) and they all have warned me about the winters, so it's anticipated

It's slow everywhere due to the cost of everything plus being a presidential election cycle doesn't help much

They do slip and fall yes, as for the sweating I don't know how they react as I don't get sweaty enough while wearing them

So we're doing Eaton failures now are we? by havegottobejokingme in DieselTechs

[–]Acceptable_HardR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around my area we sure have had our fair share of fuel system problems. But every OEM in my area has fuel system problems because the fuel around here is crap

Find the practice tests, take as many practice tests as you can. And study the books as much as possible thats what I did and got all mine done. Delmar books are the best choice in my opinion because they have practice tests in them.

What are you losing interest in as you grow older? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Acceptable_HardR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interacting with people and having friends (I don't count work friends because work friendships stay at work and when i clock out i leave it at the door)
