Terry, you are right, I already have a bunch of work right now. I just want to add one more important service to my list, to help keep the flow of work. And yes, many times a 2-3 hr job turns into a sh!tshow, and-or parts issue, like 3 of my current jobs, and lets not forget waiting on a machine shop. I have parts for 2 engines at a shop for 3 weeks now.. I will call again to check, I just dont want to be too much of a pest, because I need them more then they need me.. jojo

I see a lot of them crack on the top right corner and run down. glad its fixed.. jojo

yes sir... I get rained on and sometimes 'rained out' one advantage of being a Yankee in the south is that when its cold outside here, I can still work, because I dont feel it until it gets below 20 degrees, which is rare.. lol...

Adding a Jake Brake to an E-tech?

Thanks Bob.. I am waiting on all the info and instructions for my new tool. I wrote to the tool company today. I see it will work on Cat C-10/12/13... and many Cummins, except ISX.. I also saw John Deere, somewhere as well. I dont expect to make tons of money with this tool, I would like to cut back on the hard physical work that I do with regards to truck repair, and focus more on engine repair and builds.. Who know's.. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.. jojo

the multi buzzer is under the left corner of the dash in front of the clutch pedal.. there is a triangular brace with a about a 2" hole in it. the buzzer is bolted behind it.. jojo -
I did look into some other forms of advertising on-line.. I used google for a while, and it was only $12/ month. I got a lot of calls.. I went back to try it again, and the fee's were up near $1.50/ day for the minimum service, or 'pay per click' I used Yelp once with the 'Pay per Click' option.. I would view my page on a regular basis only to find out that ' Pay per Click' didnt exclude 'me' looking at my own page... it cost me over $400/month. that is way too expensive for me,, back to Google, prices were pretty high as well.. jojo

interesting view there, 67Rmodel... one opinion i didnt consider.. I would have only posted on FB, and stopped there, other than post cards and walk-in sales calls.. Thanks..

Thank's DCW...

Thank's to all you guy's.. I really appreciate the mixed opinions.. I think I will look into FB, but I also have 100 post cards already printed up, so I will use some old timey selling, and open a phonebook and find companies that may need my services. now about price.. I was thinking $250.00 to show up and do 1 hole, and $50.00 each hole after that... any thought's? please be honest... some of you have seen my service truck, and my operating range is 30 miles, and diesel is $5/gallon, here, so there is where my price comes from......jojo

good points 67... I have been lucky, somehow im pretty clear about immediate payment, and they pay me.. I keep a 'Square' debit card swipy-thing with me at all times, and add 5% to cover usage fee's. and yes less time on BMT.. I still take some time in the morning, like right now.. I do need to get back out there... jojo
-
I stopped advertising a while back because I have many customers, and they keep me steadily busy, and they tell others about me which helps too....... I think that going to local shops and fleets is the way to go... I can start out with the Mack fleets then as I get more adapters and tools I can spread out.. I guess i'm like a Mack, slow and deliberate.. I am only 1 guy, and I get backed up quickly, I have 3 customers that I need to visit as it is, plus 3 engines in my shop, and an F-250, and a CXU-613 outside, that i'm fixing the DPF in.. Phewww... Thanks, 'F' jojo

Hey Onyx... This is my favorite topic!! I love it !.. I bet this one gets thousands of posts over the years... us guy's just love to 'Talk Shop".... Jojo

nice,,, I actually put a 'cammed up' 400 in it a few years ago.. I could put on one hell of a show,,,, but.... I couldnt 'work him' like i used too.. I would go to get supplies and I either had to drive through the parking lot at 3000 rpm in the granny gear, or work the clutch in 1st,,,,,, just to find a parking spot... what the hell was I thinking??? i tell you what,,, I was the 'Sh!t' in 2nd gear on any city street, just sayin.... so I pulled it and put the worn out 350 back in.. I need to re-build the 400 with a towing cam, and mabey even put the rebuilt 2bbl back on it... jojo

TJC,, here is 'Old Blue' When he was born in '77, he was a C-20.. I had him since 2006... He had a 350 eng. 350 tranny.. a few years ago I aquired a '78 C-30.... so me and my best employee, took the trucks apart..... so now 'Old Blue' is a C-30, I put pedals in it and now it is a 350 with a Granny gear 4 spd.. I run this truck almost every day... It smells like like a beat up push mower when it runs, but I wouldnt trade it for a new one.. my wife say's I love it more than i do her... Hmmm...? p.s. Charlie just layed down to be in the picture, what a HAM... jojo

I get it,,, ive worked on a few duramax's cab off.... well worth the effort to pull it.. jojo

I fixed the low power part, when I repaired the boost plug, and the VGT plug, and one other that I think is oil temp... I dont know about Ford's, accept for the fact that they circled the problem right on the hood,, I did some reading and learned about the stand pipes.. the other fixes was my ,,, 'fix what you know is broke first' approach... I have turned down 6.0 repairs in the passed, but I may try to take 'em on in the future... jojo
-
I forgot tie rod ends on the ford as well.. everything was wicked loose,, it was hard to keep in the lane.. jojo
-
I did use it yesterday to load my beer can tote on the back of "Old Blue" got $32.00 for the cans at the scrap yard,,, just sayin.... jojo
