68% on the basic
48% on the applications 64% on the ultimate challenge  Not too bad for not wrenching on diesels for over 20 years.

For an elderly Professor of Latin and Greek literature, this could be worse:
General : 72%
(Skipped "Applications" after looking at the first few) Engine Operation: 56% Turbo stuff: 65% Trivia I: 80% Trivia II: 76% (I don't know much about late model truck and tractor systems.) Last edited by Fimum Fit; 10-11-2002 at 11:47 AM.
