Well, sir, I have been working on THINGS at least as long as you have. ASE certified master auto technician, certified heavy duty truck technician as well. Ford certified for ANY of their training schools without needing a specialty. I've done it all as far as mechanical goes. Transmissions, engines, final drives and everything in between.
