That's funny, every military tech we've hired at my dealer didn't have a clue to what they were doing. They were great for hands on things, but diagnosis and electrical they were lost. No offense to military mechanics though.

That's funny, your acting like Dealer techs have a clue about what they're doing.

The stock rear manifold looks like a big restriction. Look at 0:56 and see for yourself. I don't like the way the front manifold is expected to merge.

Not all of them do, I'll give you that. I won't even go to a local Chevy dealer around here anymore.

But I've met more clueless military mechanics than competent ones. I live in Killeen, right next to Fort Hood.

Whats even funnier is I'm not a military tech at all. Its an Auto Hobby shop for anyone on the base to use. You just pay 7 bucks per hour. Its great. So all us shadetree MX's can use great facilities.

As far as military techs go.. Im a Vehicle Operator in the AF, bascially I drive anything that has wheels, an military techs bandaide our shit back together so I know how to feel, but in there defense they get no funding to fix shit correctly.

Anyways hope that clears it up.
