Jim Warman Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well, I made it through the Advanced Trans Diag course relatively unscthed.... Being it's such a new course, it does have some rough spots. I was first up for one of the practicals and the bug didn't work as intended... We got that straightened away. The repair was a multiple guess question with only one answer even close to right so I picked it based on sensor data and was told to "complete my diag" first... To keep us from having to get too intrusive with a voltmeter, the voltage reading we would get was printed on a Motorcraft tag hanging near the trans bulkhead connector... I nearly tore the tag off and pitched it in my quest to undo the BH connector (It's a Motorcraft tag hanging on a Ford truck... why would I read the heiroglyphics?)... I had previously erased my right answer and, since this evolution has now run into overtime, I somehow picked an inappropriate answer... Thankfully, I was told to rethink my choice... All the same, this course was probably the hardest of any that I have taken (and I have now, officially, taken them all... save for a very few WBTs). Worthy of mention, the torque adapter calculator (listed under "tech resources" in the right column) and the transmission flow charts I posted the other day are both courtesy of our Edmonton tech training instructor.... He can rejoice that I will no longer darken his door.... Something I forgot to mention.... I went to show him the error message I get when I try to log on to the message board... Lo... and behold!!!! I have, for some reason, been reinstated.... I hope Ford hasn't made a mistake.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 I was getting a redirect to an error 404 (page not found). I know that it had to be my log in because I tried it on at least 5 different computers.... Including the SBTS computer in the shop... right after one of my journeymen logged off of message board. It went like "I'll show you what I..... HOLY SHIT!!!!". I'm still not sure if this was a good idea on Fords part..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
