Retired mechanic. Mostly heavy to medium vehicles with some small trucks and cars thrown in. I still get confused about lots of stuff tho and this forum helps me out a lot.
PS, if you want to have fun try changing a clutch on a John Deere tractor with a air condictioned cab sometime, that won't be fun but it will make working on you little truck childs play

No thank you, just reading about it is confusing enough!
I spent ten years working on Ford ambulances and that was like working on small aircraft

I'm a cattle rancher. In the past, though, I've been a disc jockey, short order cook, manager at a fuel jobber, truck driver (and owner/operator), and welder. When I grew up we farmed as well, so I've run quite a bit of big farm and construction equipment.
