How To Diagnose NVH Complaints In Drivetrain Components
Thanks to advanced technology, modern vehicles operate with fewer noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) complaints than ever before.
Orange-Ulster BOCES Students Place Third At NYS GNYADA Competition, Instructor Honored
Orange-Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Education (CTE) students took home third place at the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) state finals in Whitestone, New York.
Georgia Northwestern Technical College Takes On ‘The Great Race’
If you want to truly enjoy a classic car, while pushing it to its performance limits, there’s a race for that: The Great Race. So, when a local businessman approached Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) to participate in The Great Race’s X-Cup college and high school division, it was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.
Identifying And Fixing Heavy Duty Filter Issues
Today’s heavy-duty engines have evolved to incorporate modern technology and adhere to emissions regulations—which means their components have had to evolve with them. For technicians, this means that when an engine problem comes up, it’s not so simple to determine the root cause.
TechForce And Arizona Science Center Challenges And Inspires Next Generation Of Techs
Held at CREATE in the Arizona Science Center, the event showcased projects created by Phoenix’s Estrella Middle School students who participated in a unique,12-week after-school program called “CREATE U/TechForce Foundation Transportation Challenge.”
How To Diagnose NVH Complaints In Drivetrain Components
Thanks to advanced technology, modern vehicles operate with fewer noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) complaints than ever before. Consequently, when a NVH issue arises, it’s most likely caused by worn drivetrain components like universal joints, constant velocity joints or wheel bearing hub assemblies. In any case, NVH complaints can often be the most challenging to diagnose when you can’t duplicate the driving conditions under which they occur.
Toyota V8 Timing Belt Service
Each of the various Toyota models that use the V8 have specific items that must be removed to allow access to the timing belt and allow room to remove the accessories, belt drives and timing covers.
TPMS Procedures On Domestic Vehicles
From 2006-’09, Ford used banded sensors that are mounted in the center of the rim, 180º from the valve stem. In 2010, Ford reverted to the valve stem mounted sensors. Some replacement sensor suppliers have snap-in sensors that can eliminate the need for a banded sensor.
Temperature & Electrical Diagnostics
Engine coolant temperature is often a primary component of the “enable criteria” needed to run diagnostic monitors and store diagnostic trouble codes and related freeze-frame data.
Breaking Down Break-In Oils And Assembly Lube Needs
A lot of things can go wrong during those first few minutes following the initial start-up of a freshly built engine. The engine has to build oil pressure quickly so all of the critical wear surfaces will receive lubrication.
