haha I just wanna pass cuz then I still got calc 3 to do and then differential equations after, then finally done with my math classes.

So besides actually learning about stuff at school, they also get me into the LB Grand Prix for free as a exhibitor I work on the baja team. Based on school schedules we all work together and if someone starts something someone else possibly might finish it and vice versa. I put in quite a bit of time doing the tube-notching for the front A-arms and a couple other tubes

What's wrong with touching the cars?

Are they that fragile?

we touch it all the time, but we didn't want litle kids being all over them....one was though and sat right on the nose of the formula. the facility member who oversee's us however picked him up and handed him to his parents. Our faculty member is a women, I'm sure if it was a guy, they wouldn't have gotten away with that haha

Not a fan of king taco....has nasty chipotle stuff and every once says their stuff is hot/spicy but it isn't.

Ya the baja has a 10hp briggs & straton motor while the formula is getting a cbr600rr motor. Different competitions regulations for both baja and formula events. Lots of info about them on the SAE baja and FSAE websites.

Been helping a friend on a 6.0 for the last few days. I've already kicked it but that didn't help the truck start. It's frustrating working on those non running 6.ohs...

We have codes for three passenger side glow plugs and one drivers side glow. It won't start, we got it to get oil pressure but there is no exhaust smoke. I was thinking maybe a bad idm but I really don't know.

IDM is called the FICM on a 6.0. There's a procedure to check it's voltage in the 6.0 tech folder...all you need is a voltmeter

How are you verifying the oil pressure?

I wonder if that scanner is capable of reading all the codes? If it's not OBDII/CAN compatible it won't.

What year is the truck?

It's an 05-06 I believe, it's a box truck/van. You have a better scanner?
