My little kid helped diagnose a problem with my diesel truck. We drove my old 6.2 diesel Chevy up to the Adirondack mountains where I'm cutting some wood and building a cabin.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
