Hey hows it going everyone, I found this forum after trying to research the Cat ThinkBIGGER program which brought me over to this site. Looking forward to exchanging information with you all and contributing to various discussions.

A little about me:
Active Duty in the Marine Corps, have been a Diesel Technician for the past 8 years. Completed my Journeyman's program in Diesel Mechanics and currently attending college for a Bachelors in Business Leadership. Looking to apply to Cat once I leave the Corps and hope to attend Pittsburgh State for their Masters in Science/Technology.

Hope to see you guys around and thanks for having me

Hey thanks I appreciate it. This forum is definitely geared towards personally owned diesels but there's plenty of knowledge here to be had. I dig mechanical theory and the operation of different engines and I'm always learning new things everyday-

Indeed, I don't much care for books. But I can read technical stuff all day long.

Yeah probably the best 'part' I've gotten someone to get from a humvee was 'fallopian tubes' cause the ones that were on there were all 'dry rotted' in some spots and 'slimy' in others.

Default Introduction

I am a new member of this forum. I love driving a car and look for different parts and other things on internet. If you have something to share you could do it right away.
