I'm on my third week. I got hired without experience but every inch of me wanting to learn. Worked a couple oil leaks, full service on a transmission, hydraulic drain and filter change, differential service, welding, shoveling, greasing some plants in the pit, addressed a hydraulic leak in a skid steer....I love it all!! Its not easy work and you gotta pay attention. Confidence is a must. Knowing that i could some day be punching jobs out myself for the company is what really interests me. They are teaching me which reflects my pay but i do not care. It will all be worth it. These machines we work on are incredibly important. Some of the materials couldn't exist without them or the crew. I'm proud of who i work for and what i do.

New Generator mechanic here former heavy truck and heavy equipment mechanic For 10+ years. My boss is a former Cat Gen Master tech. We work on quite a few cats, great engines for generators! Awesome video! Rare to get any inside footage inside a dealer like this. Seems like Cat is especially secretive. Keep up the good work. Looks like your a multi-talented guy! With your electrician experience you would be a highly desirable Generator Mechanic! If your ever interested in trying a different career path, I would highly recommend it. I really enjoy it! I was a mobile heavy truck mechanic for almost 5 years and was in a shop the rest of my career. Being a generator mechanic pretty much means your 100% mobile. It’s pretty awesome being out on your own fixing stuff. More maintenance then repairs usually. Pretty easy job and great pay. On pare with what you guys make or better. Plus it’s easier.

Christian Beyer hopefully your get the opportunity to move up as quickly as possible! I always told the newer techs, it’s great to be well rounded and learning everything, but what you really want to focus on is the diagnosing part! You want to be a drivability guy and get out of the trenches eventually! I’ve worked with a lot of guys who have destroyed there body over the years working hard trying to make a honest living. That’s why I got out of the dealer world and went into the heavy truck/equipment world. Didn’t really change much for me so I kept looking and stumbled upon this Gen tech job. They’re just engines on a stand essentially so it really narrows down your skill set. But having the ability to diagnose is the most important part! It seems like you like what your doing, so more power to ya! But if your ever not liking it, just no there’s lots of other opportunities out there!

Thats awesome to get to watch you guys are the difference between a good dealer and a great dealer. I'm not sure if CAT does this or not but I've noticed with some of the newer sales personal they are really knowledgeable on the tech of the machines but it seems they would benefit from some lessons from the mechanics going over the mechanical side of each category of equipment. It goes a long way with a buyer to feel like they are working with someone that actually has some time invested into understanding a particular machine.

Retired for 10 years now, but put in 45 years as a Cat mechanic so I have to ask the question on the haul truck...I’m sure you did, but did you make sure there was no coolant contamination from the transmission cooler? As you know, it doesn’t take much coolant contamination to gum up the works in those transmissions. Nice vid, nice shop and I can see why you moonlight with that Snap-On setup you’ve got there 👍👍👍
@ValleyCityAutoYT5 жыл бұрын
Siskiyou Woodsmann yes, that was another possibility I kept in mind. And we did change the cooler. The only issue I would see with that is the fact that transmission oil pressure is running at much higher psi then coolant pressure so the transfer would most likely be the opposite direction.

If anyone wants to become a diesel mechanic, I would not go to school for it. You earn while you learn with places like Love’s truck stop. They’ll start you off as a tech, doing tires and filters, and roadside, then give you more and more responsibility. We also only do light mechanical (like airbags and fuses, not putting whole transmissions together, etc.). Your take-home pay, and later your commission, will be more than most any garage, I guarantee you. Schooling may take you 9 months, and 10s of thousands of dollars, or you can achieve the same in a year, and get that hands-on experience which means more to an employer than a school certificate.

@@Isaac-muntz it worked for me. I don’t know how likely it is, but if they’re short-staffed, they might give you an interview that day, or at least set you up with one. How you introduce yourself and first impressions mean a lot. There’s places that’ll start you on simple tires and oil chances, and train you up how they want you. We have people coming in from mechanic schools that didn’t know anything. Once you’re in, have a mechanic teach you something simple like breaks, that they don’t like doing. If you’re cool with the shop manager, you can work on those jobs and give the labor to the mechanic. It’s something you learn over time, so one’s you get down drum and rotor breaks, then you’ll know how to replace a wheel drum, or the wheel hub if it’s leaking, because you’ve worked on tires, rotor and breaks. Sometimes you’ll get a roadside, find out an airline is cut and it’s not just a flat tire, so you come back after replacing the tire, and the mechanic goes out. If it’s not busy, ask to join the mechanic. Replacing an airline is easy, and if you’re doing roadside starting off as a tech, it’s more knowledge for you. Keep building like that. In a few months to a year, it will be a lot easier to find a job anywhere as a mechanic.

I am a 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic for the army and have been for the past 4 years now, in the next year or so I’m looking to get out and pursue other options. I have a ton of experience on heavy machinery and I’m also a Recovery Operator, I drive and operate the wrecker. I really want to get into heavy recovery on the civilian side but funny thing is I actually had the opportunity to do the CAT program and get hired just like you did out of high school but the army recruiter showed me some money lmfao. Sometimes I wish I stuck with the CAT job but I’ve also done so many things with the army that I would’ve never dreamed of. Wondering if anyone here has gotten out and what did you do after?

91M-H8 here with 4 years done and I ETS in May. A lot of places here at Hood have a lot of good job opportunities. Most are closer to Austin and the pay is around 23-30 dollars an hour. Tow truck driving is all commission based and not a reliable option at least from what I've come across. What are you stationed at?

@@loganchampion8001 depending on the weather you like and if you want to be close to wherever family and friends are I'd look into states with low income tax and then company wise find one that has good healthcare options. Anywhere you go will be fine as long it's where you want to be though
