When Thomas & Betts Bought Joslyn High Voltage and brought it here to Hackettstown, some of the maintenance men went to Cleveland to pack things up and they said it was like a ghost town and that alot of Large bussiness' either moved or were bought out.

 

Glad to hear that jobs are opening back up in that area

Worked on drilling rigs from ages 18-25 with a year of mining in there, I was Derrickhand when I left... Now I'm a consultant for a directional drilling company. We drill directional oil/gas wells.

How is the job market for field engineers in directional drilling?

You don't need a good back to be a Directional Driller lol. It's the closest thing to an office job in the field

What do you mean by field engineers in Directional Drilling? Prior experience is a must. The oil patch has been weird lately. It's kinda slow in Canada. So unless you have a couple years under your belt, you're sitting at home more than anything.

 

Down in the States, I know North Dakota is booming. Lots of us are going down there to train guys.

I might have a chance to get an internship on a directional rig next summer. From the sound of it, I'd just be helping a field engineer with their job. Like fetching coffee, lol.

Internship??? You mean like you will land a job as a directional trainee? Do you have rig experience? Maybe it's different down there. Here, you need to at least have Derrickhand experience to be a DD. Drilling experience is usually required though. Rigs aren't directional.. They all drill straight hole. It's once the oil company brings us out, with out tools and know how, that it is capable of drilling directional wells.

 

What do you do now Danny?

I know what the job is. My uncle does it in Utah. I have driven out there with him to the rig to drop off parts and tools also to pick up his truck. Because he is always on the rig he helps the other guys our

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.

      Start-Stop ?

      Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
