yea, like i said, im gonna try to do community college classes this summer, and at teh same time try to get a job at the garage i take my truck to. even if im just sweepin up and whatnot at the end of the day, at least id be around cars and start to learn some- thatd be a good summer job i think.

my schools way to small to have an autoshop class.

 

yah its always good to get your foot in the door early

 

defentatly...gotta learn how to crawl before you know how to run!!!

im gonna look into some autobody and welding classes that i might be able to take as some electives... as of right now im not required to take any electives b/c all my military transcripts (transcripts that are given to you during military occupation schools at the begining of your career) transferd over...i got some 60 credits and i only needed 10 electives lol... pretty nice

 

yah welding is a good one i thought i new lots before i went to school for it well i knew nouthing compaired to what i knew after, any farmer can strike an arc but you gotta know what to do with it im shure the autobody woud be cool too its somthing i wish i knew more about

 

for what its worth, i had 4 years of metal shop/welding, and 3 years of auto in high school. i learned so much there, like how to change a thermostat in the 1st yr of auto, for example. we even did brakes, u-joints, and then installed lifts/lowering kits for our trucks. best experience i had, and got credit for it too!

 

well i really dont know to much about dodges.. but whenever i do have a problem this is the 1st place i turn too ya'll are my mechanics

 

so can we start chargin regular labor rates? lol [sm=happybounce.gif]

yea if it wernt for this site man i would be damn lost.. and the hanyes isnt THAT great!

 

yea this sites pretty helpful, even or someone who doesnt work on his truck very much yet.

anywyas about this t-stat thing, i think im just gonna go ahead and try it- i think i saw someone post that they only cost about 15-20 bucks? if thats true, im just gonna go ahead and try it. it doesnt look that hard, so im going to give myself WAY more time than i should need, take my time, and try to knock it out. i really need that little bit more gas milage; and this seems like an easy way to get it.

 

That's why I downloaded the Field Service Manual from this site.

 

yeah its about 15-20 bucks from an auto store.. but at truckaddons.com its 9.95 with free shipping. but expect it to take atleast 2 weeks to deliver
