Sir - You have been incredibly generous with your time and expertise.
I've got a new android phone that lets me post right up to youtube and picasa (all 3 are google products so it's incredibly seamless)
I've read your last post 3 times now and have a printed copy in hand.
It's going to take me a few days to do this and will likely run into next weekend ...
but am going to do it! a I almost can't wait to reach my limits .
I think setting the timing on the truck will be the most ambitious task I've ever performed on a car or truck. A few months back I changed the shocks and brakes on another truck and was impressed that I was able to do that.
Somewhat off topic (warning may want to skip) About my level: I'm not without some mechanical skills. I think I'm much better with construction stuff like plumbing and home electrical than I've ever been with engines. Don't need to state the obvious that home repair has nothing on the complexity of a combustion engine and all the crazy wiring, sensors, etc. But anyways (rambling on now) my background is not even in construction either - I'm a software developer building Web and Database backends and I can tell you that science is pretty crazy and deep too and I know that some of the crap I've had to reverse engineer and build rivals whatever mysterious flowchart stands between me and a success on this one. For me, personally, I don't think it's about the grasping how this might work - granted trying to grasp that from some manual is tough and usually what separates the men from the boys I'm sure. For me (like many I'm sure) it's probably more about patiences and organization. I'm a freakin mess with my tools. I probably own (no lie) 5 hammers and 10 messuring tapes. When I feel the rare urge to work on the truck, It burns to find the right tool (which I know I own 2 of) , so I end up stripping something or f*ing something up even worse. I will confess to having done some task that a novice should never do for the a 1/3 of the price, but 3 times at that price to finally get it right. And To me - that's a GIANT win.
Back on topic.. . Yeah a bit scary and certainly outside my comfort zone. Got nothing to lose. Thanks again man .. here's my next video
