Anyone in here one?

I currently work for a company on diesel equipment without any T certs (I am a ASE and State Master for Auto). I am scheduled to take the following in mid November:

T2 Diesel Engine
T4 Brakes
T5 Suspension and Steering

Anyone have these? If so can you offer any pointers?

I am also interested in people who wrench at dealerships. Do you like your job? What are the pro's and cons?

Thanks,
 
The last 3 times have been at Washtenaw Community College (Ypsi)

Is this because of the poor car sales?

The class 8 truck business is insane right now. But will be hit next year.

I took all 8 at one time. well two nights. But they had things screwed up and I had all the long tests one night. I had like 60 questions more than the recommended max.
I finished both nights in about 1.5 hours.
Want to take L1 and some truck stuff soon but I have forgotten so much stuff while at ford
 
I will most likely take L1 in the spring. Are you still at Ford?

I heard a ad on the radio for MotorCity trucks on schoolcraft rd in Livonia, claiming you can make 60 G's a year.

I do all my master recerts in one evening, and it drains me pretty good (I'm a terrible test taker).:beatup: Good thing I only have to do it every 5 years.
