My truck has been acting up some. The way they expect you to diagnose automotive parts these days is bullshit, often with a multimeter but that only works on a component that is fully fucked. It likely won’t detect a part that acts up intermittently. Back in my day in the good shops we had bench testers to test parts under real working conditions, and we had fancy scopes to watch things in action.
I decided to try a new ignition module, hell, my truck doesn’t even have an ignition module, it has a crankshaft sensor hidden on the back of the engine somewhere. Parts people these days suck, there seems to be a big turnover in that trade these days.
Maybe I need to find a good Dodge mechanic that has a dealer level scanner cuz the parts houses scanners come up with no codes for my truck. Mutter, mutter.
Have a blessed fucking day.
Carry on, godfuckingdamnit.
That is a pain in the ass for sure. You would think that the parts stores would have the broadest code readers for all makes.
ReplyDeleteBut, what if you get the damn no code result at a Dodge dealer? What then would. E your next diagnostic step?
There is a lot of info in there besides codes if you have a good scanner and know how to use a scanner, the parts houses don't look for the extra information. A friend is bringing me one to mess with for a while.
