Remember when we used to rebuild injectors by feel, not software?

I was working out of a shop in Billings, Montana back in 2010 and we had to rebuild a HEUI injector for a 7.3 Powerstroke. No laptops, no diagnostic apps. Just a dial indicator, a manual, and a prayer. Now I sit in my truck for 20 minutes plugging into the ECM before I even crack a wrench. The whole thing feels like cheating sometimes. Does anyone else miss having to actually know the engine by heart instead of watching a screen tell you what's wrong?

Is your truck really that mad about it?

@patking, my truck just gives me that look every time I hit a pothole, nothing more.
