I'm a novice and so far learned to change out a Turbo, injectors, water pumps, one injection pump, one radiator, starter motors, alternator diodes and other smaller items. On my diesel tractor I learned to change out the glow plugs and by pass the computer that went bad by adding a momentary switch. I learned to rewire the factory harness and reduce damaging AC ripple. I've upgraded the filter systems and finally the list goes on a bit more. All this in 24 yrs of owning diesels
My next projects are to add a schrader valve fuel pressure test port and replace the factory APPS with the Ford Mustang APPS called the Timbo Apps.
My point to all this is a guy can live happier, maybe longer God willing, obtaining that great sense of accomplishment. Being the novice I really am I would encourage others to learn all they can to do the same.
What if in the future electric cars become so popular your electricity bill finally goes thru the roof and diesel prices are back to 90 cents a gallon? I'm hanging on to my old truck just incase. Really I love the fact I can work on them doing good work. Yes a novice I am and love to learn.
