    That's awesome you chose something dead simple as an argument. Almost as if you don't know how much time proper service info saves.
    Now run down a wire that has an intermediate short in it. A proper wiring diagram can save hours, which pays for the service info in one job.

    You say that as if they are two entirely different things. Not all, but many of the same theories and principals apply to both industries. I’ve already got more work completed and out of the shop in one month than the last tech with 30 years of experience got done in six months. We don’t have customers. We service and repair our own fleet of 25 trucks and trailers.

    I do not see the money as a problem if the service is provided. The outfits I have dealt with like that could not provide the service. It is not a warm fussy feeling after you spend 10 grand and cannot set injector trim codes or get wiring diagrams.
    I had a bad Mitchel experience. Thank they were bought out by Snap On. Hope it is better.

    A place I worked bought a Mitchel subscription. I was not impressed the wiring
    diagrams were not close to what the dealers would supply us.

    Pull the radiator cap, drive a new truck underneath, reinstall radiator cap. Problem solved.

    If that doesn't fix the problem, then also replace radiator cap.
     
    Big Road Skateboard and AModelCat Thank this.
