This past week we did some testing on an Allison tranny and a differential. I learned how everything worked in a tranny. I thought it was super cool how simple it is or atleast I think haha. Lining up an intern soon so hopefully it will work out.

This past week I was in Hawaii but was able to do some wiring in my truck. Also did a trouble shoot on my boat tracing flickering lights which was a bad ground as I suspected. Went and talked to Stanwood redi mix and they said I am going to talk the bosses so hopefully I get the internship. When I was troubleshooting wiring in my truck on my horns I found the wire came out of the back of the pressure switch... I felt very stupid haha guess its easier than I thought haha did some aligning today in class but got pushed to work. Will finish tomorrow.

The air solenoid lets air in and out. Testing them is the clicking noise making sure they release. The ABS solenoid is testing making sure its working and if it's not then it pushes up diverting the air flow to the exhaust.

This week we did air brake line connections and fittings. You did a demonstration on removing tie rod ends and explained how to install. Learning how to remove them is something I learned and the steps need to take to take out and assemble the tie rod ends like cleaning the tube with the thread cleaner. We did trouble shooting on the air comin out of the exhaust port on the valve on the Kenworth. Found it to be the brake can getting air bypast.

This week all I did was brakes and bearings it seemed like. It was a good learning experience. Found out ways to set the bearing and different types of cones for automating setting. I am going next week into the powerstroke specialist and talk about internship.

This was a very productive week. When I was home after school I did troubleshooting on my boat lights and truck. We did a lot of troubleshooting to practice for our test. I learned quite a bit from fuse layout to diagnosing a simple solution that right in your face haha. We did air brake assembly with jesse and hr had me show people how to take off brakes and shiwed brittany how to do a hub seal and tomorrow how to do bearings and race removal or tell her how. Got to teach my classmates ways to put springs for brakes on easier by prying down with the vise grip. When doing my test i learned I need to relax and not have my mind go blank, that would be nice. I need to do some research with the fluke and get one too!
