Hi Bob,

Like you, I would imagine, I grew up on a farm fitted with wrenches in my hands; repaired my first third-member when I was 10 and my first automatic before I was 12 years old.

Later, I did the whole schmeal, trade school and the complete dealership/repair route.

But, I can honestly say, the best advice I ever got was from those older felleas who had spent their lifetime working on iron; they knew all the shortcuts and they how to make a living doing it.

They taught me to know the theory of operation and to "think the problem thru" before opening any machine up. In other words, to know what is wrong with the thing before you ever touch it with a wrench.

Reading the step-by-step directions out of the manual is fine I guess, but there comes a time when you have to stop & use your head a little too.

Thanks for the comeback,

Allan
