This week was very interesting. I got to do a lot of metal fab work.  I had a new radiator from an aftermarket company that would not fit no matter what I did.  I had to cut rivets, flanges, and some other things to make it work, but it turned out really nice and no leaks which is very good.  I also got the opportunity to talk with a guy that builds $250,000 and over baja racers. He is leting me tag along with him to their eastern Washington testing grounds and have a backstage pass to how they build them and maybe drive one.

So this week I learned some "old school" ways on how to diagnose problems before scan tools and labtops were used in every shop.  The old school ways need to be passed on because there is value In all of it.

During this week I had a good lesson in patience I had to try and diagnose an problem that didn't happen when I tested for it.  The vehicle was a 2000 and something Ford f350 with a transmission that would heat up at  random but no codes? Fun right.... phantom problem.
