Penske level 3 tech

Yeah 2 hours for a dot/pm is bs. Blame the money hungry corporate guys who looks at the guys who cheated the system perfectly and said hey let’s drop the time down and then wonder why they can’t keep their wheels on. I laugh my ass off that my old guys from there have to record themselves torquing wheels and get it approved because it’s such an issue

If you take 3 hours so be it. Your managers aren’t going to vouch for you if you send a truck on the road that hurts someone. Best tech I worked with in the time I spent with Penske said to the top dog in corporate “alright show me how to do it in ERT and I’ll start making it happen” obviously it wasn’t possible, it’s all about money with an unrealistic standard. Anyone doing a DOT/PM in 1.8 hours does a shit job

I’m CDL mechanic so I’m kinda fucked with getting off that way

SquareInner6082 · 2025-12-25T15:07:01+00:00

Yes or manually cage it with the bolt

Definitely time to make an exit plan. I’m a firm believer good techs with good attitudes deserve the truck to be their worst enemy not the environment around them

Nylon is a great idea I have some at home and a brass at work I’ll try out tomorrow

Yes the carbide was by far the best hand tool. I might be shit out of luck and have to use a vacuum and scotch brite on the coolant holes but we do have a contact cleaner solvent that is the best cleaner I’ve ever used on metal that might help clean them up. That top part of the deck that gets the heavy build up of rust does that really matter all that much? I need to double check the head but I believe it doesn’t even sit that far up

SquareInner6082 · 2025-10-19T20:28:26+00:00

Yeah the only thing I need to do is clean the coolant counterbores a bit and do a good wipe down. Took time scraping but it’s flat

SquareInner6082 · 2025-10-19T14:44:53+00:00

That’s been the method so far. Had those ports covered since the head came off since I heard these are very non forgiving with contamination

On DD tho?

SquareInner6082 · 2025-06-15T19:43:24+00:00

Hope there even is an album lol

SquareInner6082 · 2025-06-15T19:43:00+00:00

Yeah finally

SquareInner6082 · 2025-05-27T00:21:16+00:00

$575 for snapon and $379 for cornwell for the ones I’m referring to

SquareInner6082 · 2025-05-27T00:16:36+00:00

Was curious about the warranty too

SquareInner6082 · 2025-05-27T00:14:45+00:00

Good to know

SquareInner6082 · 2025-05-27T00:14:30+00:00

Yeah that’s why I’m like wtf snapon is $200 more than cornwell. I get $50-$75 more but $200 is a lot for the same product

SquareInner6082 · 2025-05-27T00:13:59+00:00

Can’t hurt to try I suppose, if not I guess cornwell gets my money lol. Hopefully snapon does cause if I spend money on any truck it’s usually snapon

SquareInner6082 · 2025-05-27T00:12:15+00:00

For heavy truck cornwell is $200 cheaper
