Where are you living now? What companies are nearby?  Let me know and I can network some.  Pretty much nearly related to the whole industry

[lithium 358]

Living outside Peoria, Il and work for Cat.  I wouldn't mind leaving the area to be honest. 

[///M5 2,833]

Ah.  Not much else there either.  Which building are you in?

*sorry for asking what I alread used to know

[dem beats 1,223]

Not he's just somebody that he used to know.

 

Now that sing is going to be in my head for a month.

[///M5 2,833]

No worries haha, I'm at the proving grounds. I'm guessing you've worked with some of the other teams in our division at either the proving grounds or tech center. 

[///M5 2,833]

A ton of them.  Both

Any places you would like to move? Any particular NVH work you own atm?

[///M5 2,833]

Email me your resume...

[///M5 2,833]

Give me some cities, areas or companies you like as well.

[lithium 358]

I'll do some thinking and pm you in a day or two sean.

That moment when you realize you have no idea how your knee held together for 3 straight nights of soccer.

Ok.  You should connect to me on linked in as well.  Literally over 1000 NVH contacts in my network...

[///M5 2,833]

And because of that, any company you think of that isn't there I can do a search and find somebody who knows somebody I know.

 

I've been doing NVH Sales & Engineering Service work for the nearly 20 years and during that time have been employed by 2 of the 3 biggest NVH hardware companies there are.  I'd be glad to help you network, but the more I know about what you've done, what you rock at and so on the better I can help.

How would you guys shop for a transmission shop if you knew no one.  I've been such a DIY'er that I really have no recommendations locally.  It is for a 6L80e and I want a mostly stock rebuild with bigger clutch packs.  Nothing fancy as the flying pig doesn't need to fly any higher.

I started with going to forums that would be interested in what I wanted.  So this was for the expedition and I slowly read transmission threads.  

I'm sure there is a Cadillac version of the fordf150 sites.  Find forum soponsors and go from there.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I wouldn't have a clue on autos.

[///M5 2,833]

It was more a general question than specific.  I realize you wouldn't know shops up here.  Nationwide ones I already know, but I just want someone local I can trust.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Perhaps talk to some local mechanics and see who they use, and who to avoid.

I just went through my closet yesterday and used the same rule with one exception.  There were some clothes I hadn't seen in 2 years and didn't know that i had that I like better than what I was wearing.  Ugh, organization.

2 year rule will never work in teh garage.

I go through my clothes twice a year, and pack away the ones I don't plan on wearing. Then 6 months later its like going shopping all over again, without the cost. I will add I own as many clothes and shoes as the W.  She is a true OCD'er I think, Everything is sorted into categories. Then the clean cloths on the left, longest since worn on the far right. 

Meh I hoard building materials, so that 2 year rule is out the window there. But 3 out of 4 times when something needs fixed, I have whats needed on hand.
