When was the last time you thought about the radiator cap on your cars cooling system? It took a few years of working with machines for me to appreciate what was going on with that simple device. On the surface, it would seem that a radiator cap is indeed a simple device to keep the coolant in, but on closer inspection it becomes a complex regulator of pressure and temperature required for proper engine operation. It took automotive engineers many iterations and many years of R&D to come up with the system we take for granted today.
The mission of MachineWhisperer is to act as a resource for the exchange of knowledge in maintenance, diagnosis, repair and upgrade of most common machines.
In direct opposition to a 'throw-away' society: through knowledge, empowering people to interact with machines in a new way to reduce resource use and abuse.
Together, lets find the path of least environmental, economic, and social damage while allowing machines to assist us in living better for longer.

Heat soak. Hint: its not a hot relaxing bath...
Names have been changed (repeatedly) to protect the guilty...
I have to use my good friend Sam as my example for this one. Its a guy thing, he gets it. Joe called me a few hours ago to ask what happened, what went wrong up at the trailhead. Now, John drives a small sedan- not a big truck- so even the fact that he got up to the trailhead is a testament to his driving skill.
