Starting last week we began hydraulics and learning the different fittings and how to measure them.
also going through the Cat Basics for hydraulics and watching the lethal strike video.
The video is very informative and drives home safety in the work place.

SPQ13 Electrical boards
Been doing the electrical boards in class. done a majority of them and have gotten close to all of them right.
playing with highlighters and coloring in our maps surely does help, hope that the new students recognise this as the way not to get lost with electrical.
looking at an electrical schematic has diffrent colors writen and abriviated in them. and they might have numbers on them.
In the schools freightliner the large electrical pannal in the cab all the wires in it are white. but they are numbered.
If one can take a schematic and draw in the colors and look at the numbers on the paper then one should be able to follow the wires in the truck even though they are not colored.
working on the horn for the 92 dodge and i did notice something with the wireing diagrams.
If your useing "Alldata" the wireing diagram will look diffrent than if you use "Mitchal Ondemand"
They both will tell you the same thing but the way they are drawn up can be confusing if your going between one and the other. Even though if you color it in like we are told then it helps some but still can be confusing.
Take your time stick with one diagram and use your matco, snapon, or walmart highlighters or cryons.
and remember, never hook the red wire to the green wire.
