The Ford diesel world USED to be a money making business. Ford is getting out o hand with their warranty procedures and testing. Then, once root cause is established for a failure, they don't want to pay **** to fix it. Customer pay diesel work is where it's at IMO. That's where the bucks are. I do suspension, driveability, chassis, all major engine and primarily transmissions. I've got about 4 motor jobs and about the same number of transmissions lined up waiting to be worked on.... I'm about 10 days backlogged LOL... Life isn't bad right now. I just need an hourly raise... I'm not making any more than I did on the lube rack...

 

ROTFLMAO! now that is funny.

 

Congrats on the new gig! Now you can spy on the competition for us!!

 

haha glad to hear about the job even if its the dark side.

hey but never fear, I work for Nissan, haha they pay me to make my Domestic awesome

 

when youre turning a wrench its all the same. I used to be a Jag tech, nothing special. I was a Dodge tech before that, more of a helper for the heavy line guy, but I did a lot.

For a few months I worked on the lincoln Mercury side of the Dodge dealer. I got to see a few Fords come through there. When I started with Jag, I couldnt believe how many parts had FORD stamped on them. Specifically the 3.0 v6 in the X type. I dont know whats different about it. variable runners in the manifold like the old Taurus sho.

anywhoo, conrgrats on getting a decent job, its tough out there.
