Jim Warman Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thank you Steve and Larry.... but the real credit belongs to my better half.... Anyone that can put up with me for that long deserves her weight in gold!!! The knowledge stuff? It kinda just happens but yet it don't.... You do well, all the same... you're inquisitive - and that's the important thing. Bruce is inquisitive on steroids... I'd love to have some of those opportunities (I decided against it since I sunburn easily). If a guy wants knowledge, there are two questions that are constantly asked... "WHY" and "HOW". Look at the trouble grown men have understanding ESOF - "I have no vacuum to my hubs in 4X4"... "DUHHHH, don't take a leak/play with the dog/drink a beer between turning the switch and looking at the gauge". A long time ago, one of my mentors looked me in the eye and asked "If you don't know how it works, how the f@ck ya gonna fix it?". Everyone should think about that one for a while.... I got involved with a guy on an iATN problem (I should know better by now) involving the horn and cruise control on a *we think* 02 PSD. He "says" he has the factory wiring diagrams... He is amazed that there is no cruise control servo.... The horn works normally but he replaced the horn relay (actually the CJB) anyway.... He hasn't thought about "HOW" the circuit works... and he certainly hasn't considered "WHY" it works the way it does... (he was "shocked" at the way they have reduced the number of wires going to the horn pad). And it's a common problem (here we go again... the old guy is off on a tangent).... Knowledge comes from understanding.... This is my career.... I can choose to be good at it... or I can choose to treat it like a job and struggle every step of the way... A lot of what I learn, I learn from my young'uns... Knowing what NOT to do can be more important than knowing what TO do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Can you get the I fart diesel fumes in there somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony302600 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 So on this site we have Dwayne, the diesel gynochologist, Jim the Diesel Psychiatrist, and Keith the Ford Doctor. I think we have enough here to open up a office. And Larry the pharmacist, since he has excellent experience in Parts. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif ( jim talking to a diesel truck ) Jim: And how did that make you feel when your owner put that nasty fuel in your tank Powerstroke truck: It made me not want to work anymore and mad Jim: hmmm...lets work on that emotion.
