Tuscola, IL | I totally agree. A tech that has graduated from lawn mowers and pressure washing should have the aptitude to do a lot of things without looking at a book. But, keep the training of today in perspective. Most of the classroom and hands on training at the factory level today is troubleshooting. Looking at schematics and flow charts and seeing break downs of components. The book comes in handy for jobs that maybe you can do without removing the cab, even though it doesn't look like it's possible. Or you need to split between the range and speed sections and not at the engine to access the internal component you need. This comes with experience because the second time you do the job, you won't need the book. I can do a clutch on a 1486 without even thinking about a book. But, ask me to remove the odd/even clutch pack in a Magnum 310 and I'm going to spend some time getting to know the book.
But I absolutely see what you're saying. If a tech pulls out an electrical schematic to troubleshoot a burnt out light bulb, that's not helping anyone out either. | |
