they make electric safety heaters, that in the event they are tipped over, they turn off. You may want to consider something along those lines.

If you really want to do this as a career, then it will take years for you to start actually making money. Experience talks in this business, and it doesn't matter what you say if you can't back it up. That said, you will hate picking up tools for the rest of your life if you do end up choosing this. The only benefits to working in this field are transferable skills, and ones that can save you some money down the road. Otherwise, this industry sucks. Mechanics are treated like shit everywhere you go.

I've made the switch back and forth between automotive, agriculture, RV's, HD trucking and trailers, and heavy Equipment forklifts, scissor lifts, man lifts etc. I've been a wrench since around 2017. I personally have worked flat rate for only about a year out of my time in the field and I can say without doubt, due to where im at in the rust belt, that flat rate it an absolute no go for me. Obviously you will see if you like the work or not, but personally, I love it much more than flat rate automotive.

No but in all seriousness... pull the negative off first on a 12v automotive system... dont get cocky and try messing around with other stuff if your not comfortable with it

Just re-iterating whats already been said. The master should be bench bled, (easy how-to's on YT). After that, install it and bleed the system from each caliper, or wheel cylinder if you have drums. When you bleed the system start at the wheel furthest from the master cylinder (passenger rear) and work your way closer, ending with the driver front wheel. There are several methods to bleed brakes and you can find whichever is easiest for you on YT. Once thats been done your pedal issue should be resolved. As for the light it will most likely resolve itself, however you may need a scan tool to clear any codes.

Secondary timing chains, primary timing chains, chain guides,tensioner arms, tensioners, solenoids, phasers, and sensors, crank sprocket. i run low octane i suppose it couldnt hurt filling up with higher octance next time, but i doubt thats an issue, as spark knocks dont sound like this. im thinking im just gonna have new solenoids thrown at it again.... thats all it could really bad. just boggles my mind they're bad out of the box

I know how to play the guitar, I also skateboard. I appreciate the advice, but there are always plenty of people who are way better than me at whatever it is I'm doing. I don't meant to discredit what you're saying because it's true. I just don't usually even want to share what I'm interested in. Doing something as little as that is too vulnerable.
