Talking Newbie

Hi, I'm Kandi
I'm not 100% new to the mechanics of my truck. My grandpa is a retired mechanic and my dad has learned most of what he knows. I'm trying to learn and being the only granddaughter and daddy’s little girl has its disadvantages. Every time I need to work on my truck, they start off by telling me what I need to know and as soon as I climb under the hood, they move me out of the way to do it themselves that way they know it’s done right and it won’t hurt me later on down the road, like a bolt not being tight enough and something falling causing a wreck. I understand but it gets annoying. So I’m here to hopefully learn something new every day so I can do it my damn self.
So if you’ve got the knack for teaching or just want to share some information, please do. I’m really looking forward to buying my first project truck! So any and all information you want to share will be appreciated!

Thanks!
Kandi

Welcome to FTE Kandi.

Look on the main forum page and find the year, engine, and style truck you have and they can help you with anything you want to know. What truck do you have?
