"Howwwwww Sweet it is" (Jacky Gleason)
Took my first drive of my "silent" 2011 Silverado yesterday.......aaaaaah what bliss. Pulled fuse #42 (Blue 15A) in the engine compartment fuse panel. Just had enough. Seems you no longer have a door chime (at least it is a chime and not the buzzer we had to listen to for some time) relay. The door chime is built into the radio. But there are 2 fuses: The radio fuse and a 30 amp Boom Boom Box "amplifier" fuse too. Wow!!!!!!!! Just what a guy that's 90 dB down deaf needs!
In the process realized that everything is electric or electronically controlled. The massive fuse panel under the hood, the second one in the side of the dash, fly by wire butterfly control on the air intake....aka throttle, sensors in the air intake, on and on.
The days of the shade tree are long gone and I don't see how an auto repair shop, non dealer type, can stay up with all the variations of this and that in todays electronics crazy world. I made a comfortable living in the field but got out just in time. Current activities are over my head and I don't care to dive into them.
Moving on into tractors and tractor controls, wonder how this is going to play out. I have a Tier 3 2007 Branson and neighbor recently bought a 2016 JD 4052. I had a look at it and just backed away. Seems I have my last truck and tractor.
