I would lose my damn mind if I was a full time mechanic. I understand they have access to everything to make a job easier, but frick that. There's nothing more frustrating than running into a problem on your truck when you're drenched in sweat and grease.

Eta: I use cheap tools, cheap jacks, and drink cheap beer.

I never use a cheap jack or cheap jackstand. Ever.

I'm no pro mechanic myself, but wanted to show that most stuff of a car is just a couple of bolts and not as complicated as people think.

I was gonna do one on changing the differential fluids, but it is so simple that there is zero need to. I am gonna try and change the PCV, cabin air filters, and fuel filter this afternoon(not sure if it is in the tank on this truck). Hopefully the shocks come in before I get out of class because I definitely need them


ETA: No cabin air filters. My 2005 Tahoe did not have one either, but my buddy's 02 Suburban did. Looking around on the internet, 2003 was the last year that cabin air filters were installed.

Cost you more in the long run, even the beer.
