Great Lakes Adventist Academy is Seeking a Complete Cummins 6.7L Engine Donation
Project Details:
Great Lakes Adventist Academy is looking for a complete Cummins 6.7L engine to use for their diesel technology class to tear a part and put back together. They have three lift bays and a non-lift bay for automotive service. Students handle repairs that come into the shop, learn appropriate terminology, and proper repair techniques based on the repairs needed. The goal is for students to be proficient in general repairs, and not afraid to move into repairs and diagnostics they haven’t previously done by using logical analysis of the problem.
