Jump into the engine with both feet :wink:
Really, its not too different from auto mechanics (I was a head mechanic (ASE) at a Volkswagen dealer, a few years back,...OK,.... about 20 years ago), a lot of the trouble shooting transfers over.
The tools are just bigger (I now have a full set of 1"drive sockets,torque wrench and all). I thought I would have had more problems working on my truck, but so far everything from brakes to A/C have been just like a car,...only bigger.
Take your time, get the DVD of your engine, and a book on your chassis, and you should be good to go.If you are any good at figuring out mechanical problems,...you will be just fine.
