Self taught.

I am a self taught mechanic. I started fixing break downs on the farm in the late 80's. Got a job at a bus company that sold mulch and firewood. Became a driver and worked on any of the equipment there, too. Still taught myself everything and 2004 to 2010 there was a lot of new emissions. I now work at a towing company that has auto repair shop. We have two 2011 F450s, one 2011 F650, and a 2017 F550.
