New age computer diagnostics are beneficial but it can not tell if there is trash in a fuel pump or restricted hose etc. Wtretrievers good job on being diligent in not accepting to first diagnosis that was given at the stealer.

There's not many "mechanics" anymore, just someone hooks up a computer & reads trouble codes

No one can 'troubleshoot' engines anymore. They just R & R. Remove and replace. Hell, I can do that without them...

the best diagnostics is from a computer reading sensors not codes, codes don't tell you much, the computer my friend has can tell which each sensor is reading each second for the last ten drive cycles in your truck's computer, this helps diagnosis of problems a lot more than a code reader.

That's what we meant, mechanics nowadays or should I say younger mechanics (not all) don't know how to troubleshoot anymore. Most strictly rely on a computer, & I know the newer vehicles are computer everything but there's still mechanical issues to face, I see it in the construction business, with all the new tools out these days the younger guys don't know how to get it done if that special tool breaks, have seen it a thousand times
