I wasn't talking to you

Sylver01

Lol we are always looking for help. Unfortunately they want experienced guys

StruttinSoul

Can we forge experience?

Hmm, speaking of experience you've reminded me I have to finish my new resume.

oh?

so this is the old 'chicken or the egg' scenario?
~ to have the job,
you need experience;
but to have experience;
you need the job(!)

StruttinSoul

Does this experience count?

Sylver01

Lol they want experienced guys but they want people to stay up here. Younger guys usually stay longer than older experienced guys because experienced guys can get a job back home for the same money. And if you want to be a medic out here I'm sure they would hire you. They do hire green guys with their steam tickets!

is that just a guy who goes to school for a year to learn how to read gauges and has a clue what air/oil separators are?

outtamymind

from what jon told me they want field experience. i've got both my tickets to be able to go up and do that stuff but they all want field experience.

Sylver01

They do want field experience but if you have you 4th class steam ticket they will probably hire you. It also depends on the Forman

Sylver01

So I'm going to have to inquire about getting some help from Mr. Soundjunky when a part shows up for me. it will require a bit of knowledge with a PROM unit, and no I'm not going to a prom or a dance of some sort! lol

I have Moates stuff too

Sylver01

I'm getting a custom one burned and installing it is gonna be interesting since I don't know where it is or how to do it

soundjunky

iTrader: (4)

oh?

who's doing that for you?
(this is what Moates is all about btw)

Sylver01

I know. it's a tbi guy out of North carolina. I figured since he's a dedicated TBI/MPI/TPI/MPFI he should know what he's doing. If I want to figure it out myself I'd get moates or get you to help. I think I'll be ditching the TBI in a year or so.

Here's the guy's website TBI CHIPS

^^ never heard of them ~ looks like a good deal to me!

swapping chips is a cake-walk.

Sylver01

okay. If I have an issue you will be the first person I get a hold of! lol

soundjunky

iTrader: (4)

Odds are, if you have an issue, it will mean you broke something, after which point, I will be of no use

outtamymind

lol knowing jon he's probably got a spare kicking around somewhere just in case lol

soundjunky

spare memcal* assemblies are nice, but the "custom" part that he would have ordered is the eprom...
(* = memcal is the name GM used for the (?)memory calibration chip assembly which was a small board often specific to the engine/ecm combination that the memcal is intended for, and a single eprom)

if he wrecks his memcal, I can rip the bun off his eprom, but only if it remains undamaged;
If he does have a spare memcal, I recently bought an ultraviolet eprom eraser ~ but most of the chips GM used didn't have the little window - so they were strictly a one time burn chip... and unsoldering them is a bit of a PITA.
And even though I have a proper erasing tool now, I do not yet have the proper burner for the chips GM used... so I would probably need to replace the stock eprom with an eeprom...
err... EPROM with an EEPROM.

hopefully someone followed that...

outtamymind

i followed it

Sylver01

I followed it as well

soundjunky

that's good

So, Jon.;

soundjunky

iTrader: (4)

Sylver01
