That is the sad truth! There r plenty of college educated ppl that have absolutely no skill or any trade that could be used for something like that.

Sad isn’t it.

Recently I ran into a young fellow who majored in mechanical engineering at Rolla.

They no longer require machine shop and welding lab for ME majors.

He will have no clue how to actually make a mechanical component.

We have vehicles designed by engineers who have no idea how large mechanics hands are, how much clearance is needed for a spark plug socket to fit on the firewall side or what happens outside the computer screen that they call CAD assisted design. Chrysler products that require passenger side front tire removal to replace the battery. Who else would this make sense to?

That the way the engineer at my job is. He tried arguing with me the Stainless steel bolt are stronger that grade 8 one day.

That sounds more like arrogance to me. Some of those people really thing the things they design will never fail.

Just look at a Cadillac northstar engines. Pull the engine to change back spark plugs.

May be a few splinters involved in this one..

40’ x 60’ post and beam construction.

And the hits keep on comin'. The 2019 Silverado gas V8 powertrain is designed to run in 17 different modes between running on 8 cylinders to 1 cylinder. All is well and good until you have the guy that doesn't change his oil at the regular intervals. Engine oil has more importance as hydraulic oil than lubricating oil nowadays. Things go sideways when orifices get sludged up.

Yep most ppl haven't figured that out yet. Was tlkn to a mechanic friend of mine that works for Toyota and they were having all kinds of carbon build up problems bc of these new engines shutting down cylinders.

Is that the barn you're building Ely and Hannah?

If so, the barn raising will take more than a weekend.....

Twenty three year old windshield wiper linkage overhaul.
Needs new nylon bushings.

Fortunately, Chrysler has been using the same part for around fifty years.

I drove from Wyandotte county line to north of the weigh scales on 29 in a downpour with inoperable wipers.

Exciting it was.

exceptionally well done Matt! Gonna hafta find a lotta logs for that one

Yep! I've had chevy guys tell me nothing from Chrysler is the same and I've had 98 model engine still have the same fittings on the powersteering pump and the engine mounts and exhaust manifolds all interchanged with early 70's engine it replaced.

Well I’m three hours into this w wiper project and not done.

Pivots are soaking in WD 40 and one bushing is a ringer with a 7/16” thru bore. The other three are 5/16” blind hole.

Back to Mopar dealer tomorrow. [emoji21]

Looks like they may have a 5.3L without Dynamic Fuel Management.
And a 4.3L V6, AND a 2.7L 310 HP turbo.
