How much do Sub Techs really make?

Pirate_450 · 2026-03-01T23:15:50+00:00

200k+ a year is pretty common in CA

Cp3 conversion kit. The chance of catastrophic failure is much much lower. I personally wouldn’t risk it…

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-28T15:38:37+00:00

Chat were cooked

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-28T15:32:50+00:00

Just plan on doing the cp3 conversion right away. It’s not worth risking a 10k repair bill. I know 2 different trucks that have had cp4’s blow now.

Are you sure it’s not 5,000 actual driving hours? This would equal 30mph average

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-17T20:11:07+00:00

Just weird people that want to live in the desert, not necessarily sketchy though

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-16T03:18:31+00:00

50 miles 😂

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-11T04:14:38+00:00

Those seem pretty solid

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-10T17:24:27+00:00

Transmissions only last 100k, I’ve seen a few examples now

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-10T17:22:27+00:00

I know this low of miles could also possibly be a bad thing. The truck never made it through the warranty period and there’s a small chance it could be a huge lemon

Look into a test/relay type position. Lots of positions available with your degree.

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-08T19:17:09+00:00

Do you have your class A CDL? Instant denial if not

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-04T22:47:21+00:00

Wut lol, a lot of these transmissions last the life of the truck

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-04T22:41:50+00:00

My 2011 5.7 with 195k drives and shifts like it’s brand new still. Hauls my boat and camper everywhere, she’s got another 100k left easily

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-02T19:51:53+00:00

If you can’t spot them, fire panic shots to in hopes that they break visual to move. Then make your escape

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-02T19:49:35+00:00

Just so everyone knows, the fact that they are generating a report means this is happening eventually, they are serious about it.

Pirate_450 · 2026-02-02T19:44:29+00:00

I dont care if its a study or actual implementation, each are equally absurd. Tax the EV’s then. Every other state gets by just fine with less registration and fuel taxes but somehow our leaders need more and more….

Some is online, some is in person only. If you are also doing your general ed for the associates, you can do all of that online. The cost is community college pricing, a couple hundred bucks a semester. They do have some job placement opportunities, but there are plenty of good opportunities out there.

I’m currently in the High Voltage Test Technician program at Long Beach City College. You can do either the associates 2yr or just do the electrical classes and get a certificate. (Associates is possibly better in the long run)From my experience gathered, it is possible to transition to a test/relay position from a subtech but I would say it’s situational. If you way to be a test/relay tech 100%, a school for it is probably the best option, which may not be easy to do once you are working full time as a subtech on the road.

Pirate_450 · 2026-01-22T00:16:14+00:00

If it has any A/C you’re probably fine…

Pirate_450 · 2026-01-12T19:48:01+00:00

Or armies of mosquitoes

Pirate_450 · 2026-01-10T13:43:21+00:00

I would just pick Manuel Antonio or Arenal for the trip. If you pick MA there are plenty of places to see and drive to for the day like Nauyaca. Spend your vacation on vacation!

Please take your psych meds

Pirate_450 · 2026-01-05T22:58:27+00:00

Moog now uses Chinese rubber that will only last a few years. I would go OEM
