[QUOTE="Gear, post: 3337981, member: 60511"] Technology has changed alot over the years. An old package car with no power steering, telematics and no keyless anything would be alot easier to keep on the road. There wasn't much to troubleshoot or even maintain. Maybe a total 20 wires running through the entire truck. Now we have diesel with no egr, with egr, DPF and SCR (def). Truck might come in with no regen and shutdown light on. Could be a simple sensor, maybe wiring, maybe a glitch in programming, could be anything. Sometimes it takes time to troubleshoot the problem. These problems didn't exist in the 80s or earlier. The work has become more technical, which adds time. Thats why alot of current mechanics prefer to be called technicians rather than mechanic. So its not really, " to much work", but way more technical work. [/QUOTE]
