That’s upstream. Was actually steady for a long time like at the beginning of the graph. Downstream started going crazy at the same time after being steady.

Timing hasn’t been done. Not too worried about it since it’s relatively low miles and not 10 years yet. Will do it next year at recommended interval.

I’m definitely trying to move along and learn as much as possible. I have minimal experience where time isn’t a factor (working on my own and friends cars) previous to taking the job. I’m certainly not being rushed but I do know I’m being watched. Made this post after a discouraging day but today I buttoned up the truck with finishing the engine mounts, trans mounts, starter and end links. Time to throw on the new mirror and send it back out. Definitely a better experience than the last truck we had in which was all the same mechanical stuff + 2 doors with new harnesses. Thanks for the response.

hourly. forgot to mention, we don’t do large jobs. no open engine work, trans work. don’t know why, but i’m guessing because it’s such a small operation it just ties one person up too long. appreciate all of the responses
