New here

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

I have been in the trucking industry for 40 years. The first 25 I worked in the garage and at one time or another worked every job available. Started as a fueler and worked my way up from technichian,leadman,supervisor and service manager. All of this was for a major truck leasing company. After 10 years with them I was in business for myself for close to 15 years. Most of my work was on trailers an Preventive maintenance on trucks. I never really got into the electronic engines.

After I sold the business I drove truck for ten years. Never really kept up with technology during this time.

About 3 years ago I decided to transfer into the shop at the company I work for. Was that ever an eye opener! So much has changed in the automotive electrical world.It was frustrating trouble shooting problems and I found little help. Actually I was surprised how many technicians don’t understand electrical systems.

A couple years ago I decided to retrain myself. I took a 60 lesson course on basic automotive electric I found online. A few months ago I found this site.

Thanks for all the information you provide here. It’s a good feeling understanding how all this works. It’s also a great feeling when your fellow technicians think you’re damn genius at electronics!!!

Good to have you here
You are not the only one playing catch up, the change in technology has happened, is happening and will happen, and to quote the song we ain't seen nothing yet. I am still trying to work out my the electric windows on my car need a deddicatd computer module.

Welcome aboard! Thanks for introducing yourself. Pretty interesting story.
