Date: May 20th, 2024 10:52 PM Author: sable cruise ship Engines are already fully computer controlled. At the end of the day there are not fewer mechanical parts; just the same as ever plus the electronic controls and sensors. To say nothing of the rest of the vehicle. Take agricultural equipment. Do you know how mechanically sophisticated a tractors drive system is? I took a course on it and literally could not grasp it fully. And I may be retarded (I am) but I did score flying colors on Komatsu Forklift training program for engines, hydraulics, transmissions and electronics. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 10:58 PM Author: Maniacal Vivacious Station Keepsake Machete I have quite a bit of experience with tractors, but they are literally going to be robots that you have to send to the dealership just to take a bolt off of in the next few years, good fucking luck making money trying to break open one of those transmissions as it sits now, I had to travel a hundred miles to even find a guy who could rebuild a 50 year old 4020 fuel pump and shit is only getting worse (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530770&forum_id=2#47678558) |
|
Date: May 20th, 2024 11:06 PM Author: sable cruise ship Ironically fuel pumps are literally the only thing that have truly gotten simpler No more unit injectors actuated by oil pressure, no more rotary pumps or inline pumps with 500 parts. Just two plungers inside their cylinders. Common rail injection. Can be rebuilt by a regular dealership tech without sending off to an injection shop. All that happens when they break is the plunger cracks in half. You pull the head off and remove the plunger to find it is separated into an upper half and a lower half. If it hasn't splintered up then you replace the plungers and done |

Help him identify what parts need to be replaced and to replace all of the gaskets, spark plugs and other consumables. Incentivize him by giving him the profit from whatever you sell it for once it's nice and reconditioned.
