Re: Meet your Automotive Forum Professionals
Hello, all! I am a former ASE Master technician. I am current in all areas(including L1) but automatic and manual transmissions. I haven't worked as a tech professionally since 2004, transmission certs expired 2005.
I started professional service in 1985 at my dad's shop, took many Allen Testproducts CEC courses over the years; trained at the General Motors Training Center, various manufacturer programs including AC/Delco courses, and completed all training for Land Rover Master Technician at LRU, which was awarded in 1999. I have worked independent, for fuel stations and at several dealerships.
My experience includes Chevrolet, Chrysler, Buick, Ford, GMC, Olds, Pontiac, Hyundai, Land Rover, Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, and Nissan. The oldest vehicle I ever worked on was a '47 Willys, the most unusual was probably a '74 Jensen-Healey.
I hold PA Safety and Emission licenses, including FIRST/EDGE certification. | |

| Just a couple other notes guys:
I don't want to engage in flames or contests about whose belt is bigger or wider. I will however try to correct erroneous theory or service procedures. Where it is my opinion, I'll make every effort to indicate that, but my opinion will be based on my field experience, not conjecture. There is no sense in having someone chasing their tail because someone wants to provide a guestifix.
It is hard enough to diagnose something via a forum because there can be difficulties getting accurate descriptions/symptoms and interrelated information.
I mainly deal with STOCK applications on vehicles, because I don't pretend to know more than the engineers that built system xxx. I don't much care about performance modifications. That said, where there are known issues, I will endeavor to provide answers based on TSBs, Service Actions or known good repairs from my field experience.
It should be noted that there is no such thing as "Repair in a Bottle", and there is no substitute for a good, trained, qualified technician with the proper tools and the knowledge to use those tools and manuals/diagrams; they are tools as well.
I am now the Service/Parts director for a local Isuzu dealer. I will be glad to help with any service/parts issues with that product (including older models), and anything else within my ken. If you need parts it might be best to PM . | |
