YEA X, BUT WHEN YOU NEED THE ROOM, YA GOTTA DO SOMETHING, Was holding on to my scrap, Finally came up a bit and had to rid of the pile, .02 to.06 per 100lbs. not the .14 it was year ago but it was worth it.

so what does that make the cab of this 16 F150 worth ? Steal the cats ? no, I'll just take my sawzall and cut a chunk out of the cab, better lock down them tailgates. hehee

[greasybob]

This happened to me....

It was a nice cool, quiet start to the morning, the birds were singing, no one else at work yet to bother me. The first job on the docket was an 08 F250, 6.4, needs starter replaced. The vehicle was left outside, a no crank. No problem I can do this on the black top. I get the necessary tools and new starter, disconnect the batteries and crawl underneath and settled laying on my back, enjoying the fresh air. Suddenly the urge came, the fiber bar I had for breakfast was starting to go to work and I had the urge to let one loose. So I let er' rip, a loud one it was. I could hear it echo off of the buildings !!!. Phew, that feels better. Suddenly I hear footsteps and see feet next to the F250. Well nothing left to do now but laugh and say "damn truck, the exhaust leaks even when it's not running"

The end .... ?

[liljoe]

Well GBob, I must admit that I was expecting a little wetter of an ending, glad it all didn't come out int he end

[Witsend]

Sucks, when a turtle head pops out.

[greasybob]

Nah, you need to know the wonders of a Fiber One bar. A one man gas plant, a threat to global warming, and dry as popcorn phart. You know they say that your intestines are as close to a brain as any other organ in your body. which explains a lot, I thought I just had my head up my butt most of the time.

back fires happen, sometimes for the best, often times not. as we get older, sometimes a back fire is not just a back fire.

The CAN network contains the seat module that receives messages from the methane detection sensors and controls the venting of the charcoal canisters under each seat, that sends a message to the PCM that controls the auxiliary purge solenoid connected by hoses to the under car charcoal canister.
Warranty pays .2hr. diag time and .3hr seat removal , clean and retest methane sensor, reset carbon credit meter, and verify sound cancelling system integrity

[dodge90]

VERY nicely explained, had a hard time looking that up for the correct procedure of the system. still trying to figure out how it works with chry. stow N go

[Crusty]

Sounds like a Chrysler (Daimler-Benz, Mercedes-Benz, VW) Evap diaphragm pump system-!! LMFAO-!!
Pfffft-.....
Superior my arse-!

What about Tesla ?

So far Tesla has been a small market, but when you start talking about producing 500,000 car a year and you get pre-orders for 300,000 of a car you don't even make yet you've become a major player. Is repair information going to made available ? So far Tesla owns all it's own stores but will the repair information be made available to the public ? Will the right to repair laws apply to them ? There won't be any emissions stuff if they're all electric but other things break. Will Snap On provide scanner coverage ? With no emissions is there still an OBD communications port ? Sooner or later these things will be showing up as used vehicles and at auctions and one will make it over here up north.

two web sites https://service.teslamotors.com/ and http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...ant-work-cars/

The second site seems a little biased. At some point the number of vehicles being produced will overwhelm their ability to service them and it would seem to be in their best interest to make the repair info public. You can call it the Apple business model but I think that a difference can be made between a $600 cell phone and a $50,000 car that is going to show up on the used market.

[Witsend]

All it takes is One bad Apple (model) to spoil it for the whole Bush Shell hating bunch of Teslacles who buy those things.

I think by the time they become more prevalent in the used car market there should be enough "leaked" information and some disgruntled ex tesla employees with their own specialty shops. As far as communications go, I don't see why we still use an OBD port when we are living in an age of USB ports and other high speed communication interfaces.

In my opinion, the real concern is being able to diagnose all the autonomous technology equipped on these newer vehicles, for that you'll need a crash course in computer engineering and maybe an actual crash course.

How does a tech currently test automatic braking when it fails?

How does a tech currently test automatic braking when it fails?

I was sitting watching tv the other evening and after a lil bit o the earthly plant stuff I was wondering close to the same thing, a commercial for one of the cars with it came on and I was wondering if you do run into someone, is it your fault or the car makers fault? After all the car is supposed to stop it self.
