Question?

[Mopar1973Man]

What is this term I see using more and more "Tuning: MY03 pistons and BBi Stage 1's in a MY05 truck."

 

MY is that a term for a model or actually "My Truck"? 

[Ilikeoldfords]

As far as I know its Model Year 03 and Model Year 05 etc.

Way "too" much texting verbiage for this cowboy.

 

They are destroying the Queens English!!!

No joke. I try to avoid using acronyms too much.

 

Thank you for the simple answer I never thought of that one.

You should come work at the railroad. F me, sometimes i have to take a couple of seconds and think what something means

BNSF, UP, or?

 

What position?

[mopartechnician]

BNSF, UP, or?What position?

BN, machinist. Pretty much any coal train going east or south out of wyoming comes through here. Im actually on a job where an electrician and I are on call to fix trains and locomotives that break down.

So, can I use you as a reference for a job, now? Seems like you need to know someone to get in...

[mopartechnician]

Ya they are hiring like crazy. Seems like they want people with no mechanical experience for some reason. If you have a military background it helps.

BNSF is huge in my area as well and always hiring, the thing that kept me from trying for a job with them over the years was the odd hours of work and always on call for many of the positions plus I am not for union jobs either, I don't like living life on the road 8 hours at a time. I like my head on my own pillow at night.

Thats why i work in a "craft". Im actually holding a day job for the last year and i work 730-330 with tue/wed off. Have 88 people below me in my town alone and another 20 or so in my district. Im pro union but i wish the unions could get back to the way/reason they were started. We get ran over by the company and the union cant do much. Oh well. Its good pay, great insurance, and i will have an amazing retirement. My dad retired as a machinist after 31 years and he makes more money sitting at home than i do showing up to work. And he never invested in a 401k.

MY is model year, something I have seen used on multiple platforms recently. I'm in the army, everything has a TLA. (3 letter acronym).
