Hello from Texas
Jan 17th, 2025 at 3:41pm
 
Fellow AutoNerdz,

I’m looking forward to learning & sharing with this community of professionals. I’ve been a heavy truck technician for 40 years. As you may know, late model commercial trucks are as technology rich as the autos & light trucks. I’m looking forward to learning more troubleshooting & diagnostic techniques with my new 4425A on commercial vehicles. Hope to chat with lots of fellow AutoNerz in the coming days/weeks.

Sam / Houston

For a minute there Sammy you were being displayed as an Ex-member and we couldn't figure out why.

Luckily we were able to get it sorted.

Sammy, great too see you here. I am retired and as I say was never what I call an 8 hour a day truck mech. I worked in maintenance and mostly International. Was fortunate to get a lot of training by a guy Adam Roberson on Pico. We bought one at the shop in self defense due to the lack of training at dealer level, also automotive. Will tell you if there is no code, out comes the parts Cannon, and don't think it is much better even today.

Paul Workman, one of the guys on the site here is a trainer for Freightliner, and he is out of Texas also. But the industry is very resistant to using scopes as have their diagnostic tree they use, which about 30% of the time sends you down the wrong road. Your journey will probably be by yourself if in a shop, but well worth it., JMO.

The scanners as of late are a lot more intuitive, but sometimes the road ends there, then the scope comes out. I did a post here recently but not much for a while. Hope it works for you, and be sure and post what you get, and then post it on the fix for others to watch, take care.

This is not a dig, but not a lot of feed back here on trucks, some but not a lot. A lot of the auto stuff does cross over but not totally.

Larry
