I thought they were bickering among themselves. Lol. I have a knowledge of machine work. I started out with sullen milling/machining equipment and have been company certified in it. But that being said it was a few years back and I was building gas burners. After I became a mechanic for cat is when I was turned on to the dark side diesel power and refuse to go back. So in theory I am fairly new to them.

guess that's one way to look at it... A confession of your skills up front might have been helpful in avoiding it though

Welcome to the dark side, lurking here will benefit you greatly as they do things here that most only dream of. Also good to see you make use of the search function, might save you from needing flame resistant clothing

Agreed sir. I should have mentioned it before but as I am a newb to this forum I didn't want it to be seen as boasting and start off with a bad impression.
