Our Auto Technology students recently removed the cab of a truck in order to switch out the engine—an advanced, hands-on learning experience that gave them a true understanding of vehicle structure and design.
By lifting the cab off the frame, students were able to clearly access the engine and critical components beneath it. This process highlights how the truck’s frame serves as the foundation, supporting the drivetrain, suspension, and power systems. Removing the cab not only makes engine replacement more efficient, but it also allows students to see how every major system connects and works together.
Experiences like this go beyond textbooks.
