What you get
- A short video lesson every Tuesday, one simple step at a time.
- A page to print with that week's step, ready for the driveway.
- All of truck ownership, not just one part. Each week builds on the last, so you never start from zero.
Who it's for
- You own a pickup, and you want it to keep running.
- You'd rather understand a repair estimate before you sign it.
- You're shopping for a used truck, and you want to know what to check before you shake hands.
- You like to learn one thing at a time, at your own pace.
You don't need tools or a garage. Some lessons you do in the driveway. Others are about what to ask at the shop, or on the lot.
The first five lessons
- Oil and the dipstick: what it tells you
- Buying used: the walk-around before you shake hands
- Reading a shop estimate, line by line
- Transmission fluid and the "lifetime fill"
- Burning less gas without changing trucks

A few straight answers
Do I need to be handy with tools?
No. Some lessons are things you can look at yourself, in the driveway. Others are about what to ask the shop, the dealer or the buyer. Every lesson starts with the safety rules.
How does it arrive?
Every Tuesday, ready to open on your phone or computer. No app, no password to remember.
Is it for me if I'm just starting out?
Yes. Every lesson is one simple step, explained slowly, for senior truck owners.
Is it for my truck?
It's for anyone who owns a pickup, or is about to buy one. The lessons work on most trucks. The fault of the week moves between makes, engines and model years. When a lesson and your owner's manual disagree, the manual wins.
How do I cancel?
