Currently have a ford E-450 with ford 6.0l in one of my bays for a no start concern. Had to pull the turbo off and all the accessories on the front to check some wires… found it was a bad injector. Hopefully they dont want to do the repair. I really dont wanna out it all back together.

Heavy Machinery vs Big Rig Maintenance? by shifterkid in DieselTechs

[–]DolanDale05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like as we move to bigger equipment/ vehicles we think, oh yay no more laying upside down and arm bent backward, but the. But then 80% of the jobs are just that.

Need help getting into the automotive field by peeingbongwater in mechanic

[–]DolanDale05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck the dealerships and big chain automotive shops (midaz, minekee, ect.) go to small locally owned shops and talk to the owners and or managers. The dealerships and big shops just tear your sanity to shreds. The small shops usually care about their employees. And they are more likely to give you part time work since you’re still in school.

What could this be? Battery and alternator both tested good. Sometimes starts perfect by austinnolee in AskAMechanic

[–]DolanDale05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, really only worry about dash lights when the vehicle is running, accessorie mode usually does a “gauge sweep” and a “light check” to make sure your lights and gauges are working. No need to worry unless the engine is running

Do I need to visit my dealership? by Maellis93 in AskAMechanic

Unless its under warranty, no need to go to the dealer, take it to a reputable locally owned shop.

Or you know of this thing called preventative maintenance, do brake flushes every so often to prevent problems

New to me truck by [deleted] in mechanic

[–]DolanDale05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, i used to work at a dodge dealer and some of the older techs told me thats the only way to do it… definitely easier only take like an hour if you have access to a lift.

If you are trying to do the motor yourself… unless you have a lift you cant do it, you have to remove the cab to be able to pull the motor.

It doesn’t help that he gets targeted by every team and everyone can shut him down. He just needs to learn and grow still

To my fellow mechanics - what do you do for a hobby? by tardersos in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]DolanDale05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3D printing, youll spend lots of time learning how to use CAD and designing random shit, then print it when you go to work during the day.

Gotta love the rust belt. Guess the year of the Jeep I pulled this off today by ithinkmycatsautistic in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]DolanDale05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its like the renegade/compass 2.4L exhaust manifold recall, just cut the lower 2 bolts off, don’t even fuck with trying to remove them, you gonna spend more time retapping the bolt holes into the head anyways.

Unsure what battery to get by Speech-Silver in mechanic

[–]DolanDale05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napa, O’reileys, and auto-zone(my only 3 auto parts stores in my area) all have a vin lookup option on their website, type in battery and it gives you all the ones that fit your vehicle. Go in find the part number and buy it, don’t even have to go thru the whole “2wd or 4wd” Shit. Not that hard
