This past week we have been doing electrical and sensors. Not much going on at work besides brakes and seals but practice makes perfect. I learned this past week about a pressure sensor and how they work. This week we are starting engines and we got the Mercedes.
Hours this week: 24.5
This week I learned a lot! I learned how to properly install and take out a plug and crimp and also used the meter to find my voltage drop. There was a voltage drop through one of the plugs from being corroded and only having one prong in the plug so it would flicker from loose connection. Also learned about the heater grid for vehicles and the difference between glow plugs.
Been doing some research on my truck on how to tune it with my tuner. Adjusting the fuel pressure and air with other adjustments to smooth the spikes out. My truck is running a lot better.
Been doing some fabrication work and getting to be the go to guy for welding.
Hours: 59
This past week we have been doing boards. Learned that it can be more than one problem. That one problem could be the same as another. Wednesday I think it was, I helped Travis move the engines and differential and I made a bracket for the Detroit engine and did some welding and fabrication.
Week 1
This week we did boards and our tests on the computer. Did all the boards besides the ones that were missing. Been working still and getting some hours in on electrical at work too. I did my resistors for my headlights but no luck, also got my chip for my truck and doing some dumping and tuning to my truck.
Hours 23
This week was somewhat slow and not much wrenching this week. Just been doing upkeep on the trucks and polishing our fancy truck. Learned the wiring diagram for controls on the mixer drum. It was easier since I have experience but wasn't allowed to color it haha. Got to see you Friday and still haven't got comments on any blogs.
This past week I got to take the entire transmission out by myself and it was a learning step but I got it done. Learned what need to come off and disconnected and prepared. Been doing lots of wiring and misc. stuff. I'm ready to get back to school and learn some more. Still no word from you.
Hours 348
This past week we did a lot. I worked on a drop trailer that the U bolts came loose and the axle was turning. If you look the axle is turned about 30° and from this the truck was very tippy and wore the tread down a lot. Also did leaf springs and the hangers. We are currently replacing a drum and getting the new one Wednesday. Haven't heard from you in a while and was wondering what is going on.
Hours 306
