The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Thank God today is over with.

What a f'ked up day! Had trucks rescheduling from this morning to noon, because of the weather. At one point, had 6 trucks waiting to be unloaded.

I'm home in my lazyboy, with my feet up with Mia curled up next to me.

Off until next Monday.

If you have any questions about the new house just ask. I've framed over 200 custom home and have over 20 year in the building trades. Feel free to shoot me a message about whatever

Am still alive! I’ve been really inactive in most social media/discord/forums lately. Just trying to figure out some personal stuff. I’ve decided to get my ASE’s and try to get on at the Nissan dealer and enter the master tech program. Doesn’t anyone have experience with the ASE’s? Any advice for a newbie? I’m also probably gonna pick up my ex’s 98’ Grand Cherokee in the next week. It has a lot of sentimental value since she passed away last March and her mom is going to sell it so imma snap it up. Running and driving 4.0L 2WD with a clean title for hopefully $300 isn’t too bad. Anywho, hope everyones doing good!

Go to Ase.com & click on their practice test,
Good startup information to see where you stand

They have some test online that are more questions than others,,,after taking practice test- you’ll see where your strength is & know which ones to sign up for first

jchammond · 05-30-2019, 05:22 PM

Motor Age & some other companies sell some study guides,,,but if you have good general mechanical knowledge, then the practice test may be sufficient for first couple exams.
All questions are multiple choices & after a while you will see Technician A & Technician B are a couple of peckerheads

ASE's are good to have. When I worked for Goodyear. They paid for my tests. I was a Master Tech when I left. JC is your best bet for info on the ASE's now. He just went through it. It's been a hundred years since I did mine.
