My wife would agree.I'd maintain the number for me is somewhere around 17, not 30.

Yeah my old man is 76 and he still gets the odd phone call for assistance and goes 'round to a current employee's house to help him with schematics and setup for the old shit.
He said a lot of electricians quit when they find out they can't plug in a diagnostic tool because the machinery is ancient.
One of the elec wholesalers we use has a young bloke who openly says he knows very little but he is trying his best to learn, so I go there coz I dig his attitude.
I saw him battling with measuring hole centres, so I told him just to measure start of hole to start of hole and he was stoked. I try my best not to tell people how to do things because people pretend they know everything. I love people telling me of different ways to do things, the other dude I worked with is the same, he showed me that a concreter's shovel is the best tyre fitting tool.
We diagnosed an alternator fault a couple of weeks back but the customer said they put a battery in and it was all good. Boss twisted their arm to let us fit it.
If your voltage goes down when rev the engine and the belt's not slipping your alt is most likely stuffed.

that's pretty wild. any story you can share? curious when it was built.
The house is located in a ranch called El Pajaro, my dad is 81 so the house is around 90 years old if not more so I would say it was built late 1930's, there were about 5 houses in that ranch, they had cattle and some crops, many cattle herders would pass by and rested in that ranch. My grand parents move to a near little town about 55 km from the ranch and asked a relative of my grandpa to not let the house be destroyed. A cousin of my dad still lives there and still looks after my Grandparents house. Now there are only two houses left, my Grandparents and my dad's cousin.
We still go there from time to time as my uncle has some cattle and my dad owns land there.
Is that New Mexico?
4wds seem to really attract people with a can do attitude when it comes to wiring stuff in.
I'd like to know where the unfused wire goes.

I assume the large cable is for a winch but why does the negative lead have to go backward before going forward? It looks like the lug should clear the terminal, maybe the cable was too long......?
I never liked teachers asking what we thought the author was leading to or whatever, but I love to try to work out what was going through a punter's head when they did a wacky wiring job on a car.
A friend's 100 series had the winch wiring with the pos cable going to one battery and the negative to the other, and the positive went through a low voltage disconnect that was rated at maybe 100A. It was an absolute headfuck, at some point there was a cable fire that burned some of the wires to the diagnostic port, I tried to fix it but his mechanic said they still couldn't get a scan tool to work on it.
This gorgeous join was done by an auto elec, had to pretty much cut out everything he wired.
