No, not really. It is not possible to know all the tech on all the different manufacturers cars and trucks. There are many common things you will find on all cars like bearings, wire, lights, steel, etc. and since most manufacturers buy parts from common suppliers, you will find many of the same parts on different brands of cars. You need a basic knowledge of systems and how they work. If you are working on your own car, buy a book about your car, or go to the library. Around here we can pick up a manual at AutoZone for about $12. The new cars are very complex, no question. The thing to know is that most often, what breaks is the simple stuff. Corrosion in connectors is the single biggest cause that I have found for an engine not running right (North East Ohio uses a LOT of salt on the roads). I just carefully unplug and reconnect each plug under the hood before I try to diagnose a problem, and use dielectric grease so you do not have a repeat. This does not mean that you can now pull an engine for a rebuild, or change a computer (which almost never go bad, it is usually a sensor), with a little help and experience, you could take care of many of the problems you would run into. Go watch some one work (get permission) and see if you would like it. You will always have work, as cars always need work!
