Read this the other day.The owner manuals in our grandparents vehicles gave instructions on how to adjust the valves. Nowadays they warn not to drink the contents of the battery.

When you look at todays youth you can understand why they need those type of instructions .

Did you learn much from your parents? I agree with your statement, but today’s youth didn’t just appear.
Funny, because now, there is even a movement afoot by some manufacturers and government entities to make it against the law to work on your own car. Crazy.
"Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It's Hand", but really, who cares?
There is legislation out there to keep owners of farm, industrial, mining, and logging equipment from working on their equipment as well. We’ve got a New Holland T5 that has went into de-rate from DEF related issues, it’s just out of warranty and there is no software on the market that will let you get into the system other than read codes. Luck would have it we know a guy that has access to factory software. What do you do? It forces you into paying the dealer.
Most everything in a year or so you can find the software, but much of it is just a glorified scan tool. Kenworth Software running a Paccar engine will run you $4,600 a year to diagnose Chassis, engine and brake stuff. Problem with the aftermarket software for Kenworth is you can not do all the function (burn offs, injector cut out tests) that the factory software allows. \
The shade tree guy is being forced out on many vehicles and engines across a broad spectrum.
