Mechanic talk

Yeah, then my passwords would not work. I sent in for a new one. Maybe it will work after I jump through the security hoops.Looks like you get kicked out of the parts system after using it. Can't keep the window open any more. Me no like.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Any useful new aspects to this "upgrade"?

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Parts on order .....

Must admit it did cause some delays.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Do you find the 60 Second Audits annoying? I usually have issues with what is on them.

 

[iamupser]

Are you talking about supervisor work?

Talking about supervisor going behind your back and picking your stuff apart. Never mind the big things you only had 8 hrs to deal with.

I had a sup do a "hoods up" audit and checked the brake fluid and forgot to put the cap back on. Fluid dumped out but driver made it in with "spongy brake" (should have been a road call). That sup is a manager now. Go figure!

A 've gotten totally bogus items with these audits. No registration--no, it's there behind the accident report. Too much free pedal--no, I adjusted it perfectly already. This whole P clamp thing is getting out of hand IMHO. Even for sensor wiring? The worst that could happen there is a driveabilty issue...get a grip.

Well the good thing about sups is you should have a new 1 in a while.

I've had 6 in my 13 years. One of them twice.

Why do I have to push so hard on the newer trucks brake pedal before it will release the shifter lock and allow me to put the truck in gear?

Many of the new Freightliners have brake booster issues (stiff pedal). They should have a permanent fix soon, until then we keep replacing them and some last a while some don't. Could be you might have a brake light switch that isn't sensitive enough either.

Maybe its your girly legs. Try taking your high heels off.

Any thoughts on the new timecard? Haven't had the opportunity to try it yet.

 

[iamupser]

We're still on the old AIS. The web version is there but we don't use it yet.

 

[burrheadd]

Damn, mechanics whine as much as some of these old broke down drivers
LOL!!!

Say you select Accessories, then you want wiper arm. You can no longer just hit W and go down to wiper arm, you have to scroll through all the selections.

We have 2 computers, one regular square screen, the other wide screen. The normal screen bunches everything together. So having your timecard in upper and open repairs in lower makes them hard to view. But on the wide screen, everything is spaced better. Im not sure if its some type of setting or what. If I lower the normal screen view percentage anymore, I'll need a microscope to see anything. This wasnt a problem with AIS.
