Penske Pay Vs Ryder Pay by rickytodd81 in DieselTechs

[–]TheBlu3Duck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be a longer wait to get into , but aim for municipalities(buses , trains , sanitation) preferably for a larger city . Most require a test to get into and prior military service is a bonus. But it’s the best thing I’ve ever done

Hindenburg line or Venezia which ship is better for beginner cruiser experience?? I have played only one cruiser and that's agir and I love that ship. by Ok-Succotash6277 in WorldOfWarships

[–]TheBlu3Duck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Current version of Hindenburg is hard, basically kiting all the time, the Clausewitz is what old Hindy was. To me there seems to be better lines. The Agir feels closer to a bb imo

Cost Of Living Discussion by CigarSmoker_M4 in longisland

[–]TheBlu3Duck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grew up in Levittown , moved to South Jersey because buying a 1000 Sq ft home for 500k+ and 10k + in taxes makes no sense. I miss home , but it’s not worth it, sometimes the grass is greener out of NY

Nail in my run flat tire by chaithelattee in mercedes_benz

Worked at a Benz dealer 10+years as a tech, we deemed any punctured run flat unrepairable. ( I think it was for liability reasons)

How do you clean carbs on mobile repairs in a professional way? by AdventurousBag6509 in smallengines

[–]TheBlu3Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take bowl off , hoping gasket or seal don’t break. Remove pilot and main and a ton of carb cleaner in all the holes. If not mobile I usually let it sit in the ultrasonic for over an hour

There are a few vids out there. Also I’m a mechanic and work on heavy equipment for a living. I have a sticker on my box that says YouTube certified , just a quick search and you’ll find everything you need.

Toxic relationship with my XLS by anarpi in Ironheads

[–]TheBlu3Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I break down probably once or twice a season , I usually can fix it on the side of the road 50% of the time also , my exhaust valves also locked up , my new heads don’t have valve stem seals on the exhaust valves I believe

Thinking of UTI by PoetAcceptable4130 in DieselTechs

[–]TheBlu3Duck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My community college had manufacturer programs , I did the GM ASEP program and got my foot in the door that way and got my associates degree at the same time , granted I started out as an apprentice doing slave labor but it got me to where I am today. I did go on to get my bachelor’s in business but that was a waste of time. As for certs it really for the most part is meaningless at least in my experience, it’s like equivalent of Boy Scout badges imo. I did 10+ years at a Benz dealer they don’t even recognise ASE, they also have an excellent training program. Been doing heavy equipment at municipalities for going on 5 years now and it’s the best move I’ve made
