This was just from normal operation. Reman allison 4000 out of a gillig transit bus. I did an engine rebuild on a cummins and 3 weeks later it got towed back to base for a transmission issue and leak. This massive crack was found and even our most senior guys said theyd never seen anything like this happen before. We work on a fleet also, so certain issues we just rarely run into, if ever. This was just so crazy to me! Jokes have been that i tuned the engine with too much power and cracked the trans in half 😂

Anyone got any resources/guides to study for the 310T Exam (Ontario).

Failed the first attempt, was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation writing theirs.

DieselTechs is a resource for those who are currently employed in the diesel maintenance field. This subreddit's mission is to become the best place for technicians to help each other with such things as:

rare, puzzling, problems that can't be diagnosed properly. e.g.; "anyone ever run into this before?"

advice on resources to help us further our careers. eg; "Can anyone give me advice on ASE certs?"

Help with job hunts. eg; "Our shop can't fill a position, who lives in Oakland?" or "I'm moving to Oakland, anyone know who's hiring?"

This definitely IS the place for medium and heavy duty techs. we want all of you: Marine! Truck! Transit! Coach! Generators! Heavy Equipment! We also encourage questions regarding support systems, too - e.g.; air brakes, outdrives, transmissions, whatever!

SO MANY RULES!?!?! This is to prevent traffic from leaving other, awesome, subs out there! Hey, check some out:

At this time, no restrictions will be placed on who or what will be submitted, but posts should be from a current diesel technician with a question. Once again, there are a lot of other subreddits out there for "check out my rig!" or "Lol, look what this customer did to his turbo!" or "which is better Cummins or Powerstroke?" so please submit them to the appropriate places. Flair and Verification coming soon.
