Cheers: plenty to think about and a few things to rule out

Am having the same issue with 2012 Cummins pedal position sensor. I replaced it with a new one but 1241 comes back. I did not calibrated i just installed the new one.

Thankyou for the time and effort you put into this fantastic video . Your a huge inspiration and endless knowledge helps me at 50 yrs old .

Got my A&P in 2015. Worked for a commercial airline (regional) for 6 years. Good money, but not great money. You really have to be willing to live in a big city to make really good money ($60+ hourly). I left and work heavy diesel equipment right now and make about the same money as I did at the airline. That being said, I’ve been tempted to get back into aviation lately. I don’t regret getting my A&P, it opened the door for me to get into other fields like Industrial Maintenance and heavy equipment maintenance. At the end of the day, it really comes down to where you’re willing to live and what kind of schedule you’re willing to work. Airlines and factories are notorious for terrible work/life balance.

I've lost tools and equipment moving from shop to shop people were dishonest and I've fixed trucks for nothing and had owner operators who just tell you one thing and do another tbh the mechanic is not going anywhere people have 10 vehicles and dont need to fix anything

Not even close for me I've fixed transmissions engines head gaskets brakes and drove around chasing parts saved cargo and landed good jobs never made more then $15,000 a year, too much waiting for jobs month after month just hoping for something to come.

Some of these problems takes me days to duplicate and confirm at times I don't won't the cheese I just want out of the trap

Agree %100 with you on flat rate. I worked under a flat rate system for about firsr 9yrs of my career. Grant you I averaged %80 to %110 efficiency depending on available work but the guys who were banging out %150 to %200 efficiency numbers were absolute crooks who cut corners and screwed customers, which managers purposefully turned a blind eye to. It is absolutely a system that is for the shop not the tech. The past 9yrs however i have worked hourly for a big truck fleet and its been much better. I think the pay ranges vary widely though foe fleet guys. Other factors such as ability and how badly a fleet needs their problems to go away are huge. Your probably right for the big corporate fleets that cycle trucks more often. But for the smaller but "successful" fleets (25 -50) trucks ...... There's money to be had. Their more apt to fix things cause they keep then longer.

You 💅 nail 💅 right on 😅😅😅😢

This channel is golden

Automotive and big truck Employers never value their employees they just spin lie after lie 😂then kick you to the curb when you wear out your body and soul ..yea spend thousands of your earnings on tools to keep the shop running smoothly then when you need 2 knee replacements shitty health insurance won't pay ...now your in real trouble your 50 can't walk stand etc no one will hire you not even a burger stand😅

Enjoying the videos! Hope you hit the 1,000 subscribers soon 👍🏻

woah dude really appreciate what you're doing here, thank you so much. After 15 years in automotive about the make the move over to diesel in a couple of months working for a ag dealer. 10k pay bump and loads of training fresh in the door, can't wait. So true what you say about automotive, even listening to you I realised that I was the person in the shop not supposed to make any money most of my career, so true. Hope you keep making videos dude.

Your one of the most intelligent mechanics I ever listened to!!!!!! Peace to you thanks!!!

Public Transit Authorities probably pay the most when you factor in medical, dental and pension.

Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸

Which books? Do you have specific recommendations?

Flat rate is fine and has to work out to 500.00 per hour for the tech. Why, because they are like athletes and wore out by the time they are 45.

Studying this video today!! In peace!!

Glad I found your channel great teachings!!

Nice video, :) my goal in the future is to open up my own shop because I was put through the ringer during my time in automotive. 3 years of automotive experience, Honda certified, worked overtime etc. Got offered a position for a manufacturing mechanic. A/C and heated warehouse, excellent benefits, 3 weeks off per year. And the cherry on top, they OFFERED me more money than any shop, no negotiating or ball breaking at all.

EPG remote is top of your list. Electrical Power Generation...go into that if you want to make money.

What are all your diesel certificates on your wall or in total that you have?

There will be jobs in automotive but all issues will be intermittent false reporting due to high speed communication.

Esg is an understatement with parts. Black Rock will see a lower esg score if a manufacturer supports an older vehicle. Hence the companies no longer support the old stuff or they lose funding in the future whether they make money or not.

Great video

Good advice! Do you have a video on your diagnostic thought process? I was in the automotive transmission rebuild arena for 28 years. I would never hire a potential builder until he explained his diagnostic process/strategy. If they didn't have one I passed on possibly hiring them assuming they applied as an experienced rebuilder. Keep up the great content!

Get the diesel certs. Get your CDL. Apply for jobs everyday. Specifically, diesel/18 wheeler/heavy equipment. Same sweat/grime/toil as consumer auto report. Except far less drama. Your paycheck will be consistent. Consumer Auto repair usually exploits honest mechanics.

Your view of Flat rate vs hourly is skewed because you are in the heavy diesel field. There is almost zero flat-rate in that field. You say an hourly guy has to have a certain efficiency rating. Where does this number come from? Who decides how long a job should take? With flat rate, the book sets the time. A 5 hour job in SC is a 5 hour labor time job in California if using reputable labor guide. Around 15 minute mark you mention basically whether the tech has ethics. Educate yourself to KNOW how to perform a quality repair. The pay plan has nothing to do with that. Either you are honest or a crook. Having said all the above, I prefer a salary. Last @ $1200 week for 40ish hours. While I was fully capable of doing bumper-to-bumper repair, frequently ended up being the diag guy. I like doing that work tho. Retired Mar 2020.

I'm not a mechanic, but the authority with which you speak is inspiring.

Good points but, in my town the price of goods and services have doubbled in the last year and labor rates in this town have also doubbled. A 3% cost of living increase doesnt get it increased or stable productivity wages need to reflect the economy otherwise how long will it be before we are working for a minuimum wage with all their min wage increases that keep happening

So excited for the training. I've never even been in the same room as an "electrical specialist". As someone who has been tearing apart radios and computers since I was 10 years old I pray the future is bright for me.

This whole video is directly applicable to my current situation. I just left the automotive world after working on, domestic, euro, JDM, and other imports. I got my foot in the door as a fleet service technician for the largest transportation company in SWFL. Unfortunately a corporate exec with no understanding of mechanics had an issue with me taking the time to inspect the vehicles and do my job correctly. This Monday I am walking into the Kenworth dealership and dropping off my resume with the hope that they’ll hire me and allow me to learn these systems in a way that my previous job would’ve never allowed. Great advice as always man 🖤

I think I just transcribed this whole video in my notebook lol. AMAZING INFO

Displaying gratitude tells a lot about your character. This is rarely seen anymore. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Would love to see a video of your story. How did you get where you are? You have an immense amount of knowledge and apparently experience. Love your channel Joseph! My middle name is Joseph. How ironic.

The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their correct name.
