HAHAHA !! Really...Can't believe all those techs with their high dollar scanners couldn't pick that up...weird---ya know..

We're still looking for that "magic tool" that tells you what is causing the problem and how to repair it.
I guess it's like ,
my refrig won't cool, but My tool tells me there is no refrigerant in the unit , but it stops there. This is where the magic tool repairman/woman goes on to get at the problem and based on their training,knowledge and experience solves the problem.
I guess people like us that have that training,knowledge and experience will have a job at least for now ! What do you think?

Hi- That makes sense-I have commercial systems that provide flash codes-same deal-so yes-that makes sense,My logic on the van was replace
whats in sight-kind of like the lawnmower shops and test components...Interesting thing these days-there is a shortage of 30 million techs in all areas=
kids today are not interested in such skils-unless its computers.

Thanks again,
John

I get a kick out of todays stuff that I need a computer to just get it to operate.Let's take the modern washing machine and have fun with that.
It used to be throw the laundry in, add soap and water and the washing machine knew what to do.
Now I have to tell it how much laundry it's getting
how hot the water has to be
how long it should wash
What to do when it is done and
get back to me if it can't do this.
Pity the poor guy that has to fix these , because they have computerized them too!

Oh I know-you are so right,,Washing machines-dryers-and refrigerators not to mention TV's have become throw-away items..Rather sad,
They haven't figured out how to make commercial refrigeration that way...way to costly.

I have a friend who is a maytag repairman-in the front window of his store he has the old maytag kick start - gas powered washing machine-
there is a sign on the unit LOANER....ha !!! while waiting for chinese parts

Find out how much he charges to rent it long term and if he has more than one !!


I guess we have entered the throw away vehicle phase, but instead they just trade them in /

I wonder about the rental...hah ! Yes-but the prices of Trucks and cars is out of control...Another sad affair.

Somebody has to be benefiting from the high prices for new vehicles these days and it's no wonder imported vehicles seem to outnumber domestic vehicles on the road.
Don't overlook the "Imports" that are "assembled" here. I don't know this for sure, but I have heard it mentioned before that , without naming them, they prefer our products manufactured here to the products they make and sell here.

I believe the people in the loan world are making all the money on vehicle sales.I restore and show crosley;s nationally.
Something to be said about those cars and trucks-in that you can fix them basically with pliers and a screwdriver,,ha !https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...e21bea2681.jpg52 Crosley roadster

I remember seeing them years back and at that time we were concerned with getting run over in them because they were so small. Not to worry because as soon as the price for gasoline goes sky high again all those big SUVs will be on sale because they won't be able to feed them.
