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.

This week was a very good week.  I got to work on a 69 gmc and a 78 gmc both flatbeds. I got to see how things were done then and how they are different now.  This also brought a new concept to my learning because things were so simple back then.

While installing kingpins I figured out that learning by yourself can make  mistakes happen. I was trying to install races in the hub and damaged the new race because the hub is aluminum and needs to be heated before install. Lesson learned

I had to revisit the electrical system check test this week. I had a bad alternator in my 2003 Ford f150. I tested the starter, alternator, and battery. The findings were 11.4 volts with the vehicle running at the alternator...not good, after I charged the battery the battery passed a load test. I am glad that I learned how to test all those items in three easy tests.

I Am glad to be getting back into the groove of class.  I did brush up on electrical systems and go through the basic components of a circuit. It is interesting though because now I view things more clearly than before  and can figure out complex systems now, that I wouldn't have attempted earlier in my journey.
