        Hey Eric. Crusty55 here.
        If you come north far enough you can fit right in with the rest of us crazy Canucks up here-!!!
        I've got 60 years of experience, still as dumb as I was when I was 17, well I don't cut my knuckles as often, they just drag a bit-!!!

        Marines welcome too-!!

        Hope more of the group pop in here.

            Ya, go north to Green Bay and turn east.....brings you into Canuck territory-!!! NOT cold today-!!! I melted a couple of times....
            It's cooled down to 83 right now but with the humidity it's like 96. Tomorrow is going to be 90 plus the humidity. The temperatures I can take....the humidity is the killer.

                Welcome to this site Eric.
                When on the Sure-Track site it only shows the first digits so there are TWO ericsauto..... except your is in capitals....

                It certainly can be a challenge when you're out there all by your lonesome.

                LOTS of Hack-N-Slash around my area, even the dealers are not exactly up-to-par around here. Some dealers are 20 minutes away but I order my parts from 45 minutes away simply to get the right parts-!!

                Good people in here and they'll help a whole lot-!!! MUCH less "attitude" than other sites. (not talking about Sure-track or this site)

                We're going into our 23rd year here. Those "crazy ones" are FUN-!!!

                  Welcome

                  Welcome ERICSAUTOVIKI. Northwest Oklahoma, all the way into the pan handle?? I'm not too far from you here in northeast Colorado. I own/operate a small rural shop too. I see everything from mercedes to john deeres. The unique challenge with being small town rural is finding other tech/shop owners to collaborate and share ideas with. Sure Track is my window to what the main stream auto repair industry is doing. How did the cam swap go on that C70 you posted on Sure Track???
                  I go by mwk6503 on Sure Track.

                    Hello all. I'm Glide here as well as at askatech.I'm located in New Brunswick,Canada. I've been in the trade since '76,started out working in service stations,went to a GM dealer in '86 stayed there til the end of '08 when the dealership closed.Then went to a used car dealership that became a Hyundai dealership,then to a Ford dealership,now I'm at a private repair shop.
                    I work mostly on GM vehicles as that is the customer base I've developed over the years, and have both a Tech 2 and a MDI and am set up for GM programming.

                      Hello there Glide.
                      The old blister is from New Brunswick....LMAO

                      I'm glad more and more members are popping in here. My vehicle base is mostly GM but a healthy mix of almost everything else. Euro's are only a few and they're usually well past their prime by the time they get out here. Started my apprenticeship in '77 but I had been busting knuckles before that by about 5 years while I was still playing hockey.

                      Glad there's another Canuck in here-!!
