In a previous video https://youtu.be/3wShoqvnVYE I had a look at a customers Envoy XL and found it did not have quite enough fuel pressure. The customer gave us the OK to drop the tank and make a few more checks to make sure it IS the fuel pump that needs to be replaced.

    Don't be weird

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 2DogsVlogs says:

    I've never had too replace wheel bearings on a car but then I don't keep them for that long, about 5 years or 15 years old.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bryan Keating says:

    My guy crushed it.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Quijote says:

    Another helpful and entertaining video.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David King says:

    I've never had to drop the tank to get at the fuel pump, or gauge. Just remove the back seat and there it all is. Having said that, I haven't watched Pt 1 yet 🙂

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nate Tallman says:

    Does Phil get to use this shop time as professional development hours? That'd be awesome if he could.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars T Kram says:

    That didn't seem weird. Now, if Phil wasn't wearing pants, that might of been weird — MIGHT

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Craig Tegeler says:

    Good job Eric! I have a 2005 Envoy that had a fuel guage problem along with dash works
    going bonkers which was a recall item back around 2014! GM wouldn't honor the recall
    and so my girl friend ended up having to pay for the work done!! I had advised her to raise
    hell about it but she wouldn't but instead she chewed my ass for telling her to take it into the
    dealer that she bought it from!

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Corbett Knowles says:

    I found fuel pumps never quit on an empty tank they always quit when the Tank's full or at least a half a tank

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Spencer says:

    whos Phil?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billy Ray Valentine says:

    Bye Edsel 👋

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave O says:

    That team hammering was awful close to the Dutch Rudder. Keep it clean now.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marty's 4x4 says:

    How long has Phil been an auto mechanic… and is he from that area?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JC says:

    YouTube must hate you, should have 10 million subscribers. You're channel is that good.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Honey Bear says:

    What do you call a guy who lays in a hole all day? Phil. 😆😁😄

    Seriously though, could you do a video and explain what fuel trims are and how they pertain to an engine's operation?

    And let's not forget those cameo appearances by Mrs. O. She is the bomb!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon G says:

    There could be dozens of videos on this subject but I'll only be watching this one.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Baja Joe says:

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars craig bollinger says:

    The fuel in the arm pits. No truer words have been spoken. You should write a book and call life on the lift.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Leck says:

    Did Josh or The Eligible Bachelor leave? Or is Phil a third tech for you? Love the videos

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John LaCroix says:

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Pruitt says:

    I got lucky one time with a bad fuel pump when the tank was low. To bad it was on a car were you just had to pull out the seat cushion to get to the pump.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Rasmussen says:

    You are the man Mr O.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars for2utube says:

    You can buy a cheap polarizing filter for most cams, to cut the reflective glare.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dwight_smokems says:

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Daddyoh says:

    compare the old one to the new part

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Luthy says:

    Camera looks good. Maybe it's just me, but sound seemed softer than usual. Had to turn it up from where it was in part 1.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars P3cNavyBrat says:

    He has a great voice, he should do Coor's beer commercials.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Anderson says:

    Love this channel

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Roberts says:

    The quality of the video is really good. I noticed right away you have a new camera.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Roberts says:

    Here is my tip….buy only the oem fuel pump because I never had a non-oem fuel pump to last very long. Trust me!

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Simpson says:

    I was afraid Covid got Vinny. Glad to see he is still with us !

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Anderson says:

    Phil got bored and walked away when the mud map was used . Lol

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Derf In Line says:

    I never had sense enough to add light bulbs til I get to the proper amp test level. But now! I do!

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Anderson says:

    When lifting out tanks and working on fuel pumps – lines – filters . I use electrical tape to wrap hand towels or rags around my forearms . It stops fuel in the armpits or below the mason Dickson … it’s not good . Lol

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Barry says:

    That Phil is a keeper

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Russ Massery says:

    Camera looks great in the light.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ed Chenal says:

    Thanks for helping Phil. I'm always amazed at how much our vehicles depend upon electronics to function.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ron watson says:

    True story. When I was young I called Ed Powell's Garage (RIP) and asked for a back seat for a 58 Edsel 4 door dump truck and he said he had it. He was known for saying he had parts that he didn't have. 🤣

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Lemke says:

    Bye Eddy… Faceless Phil was awesome. Had that tank in and out in a snap!

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FTC Ministries says:

    I'm always amazed by the rusted out undersides of the cars and trucks you works on. I wonder, have you ever told a customer their vehicle is so rusted out you wouldn't work on it? More, they should stop driving it?

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ken Greer says:

    Most GM's are a pain about fuel pump R&R

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars suntzuwu says:

    Changed the fuel pump on my '99 Silverado. Easiest way to get to it was to take the bed off. Four bolts and some screws for the filler neck, a few wire harness connections and the bed came off with no fuss. Wheel base looks so short without the bed.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ullrang The Viking says:

    Nice Edsel!

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Les Reeves says:

    The Nissan Pulsar /Senna I own to remove the fuel pump you only have to pull to bottom of the back seat up & out & it's right there. The only other one I replaced was in a locally made ( the good old days) was out of a GM-Holden Commodore wagon & it was on the bottom of the tank so all I had to do was put it on the hoist & raise it up drain the tank by taking the lock ring off & wiggle the pump to remove the fuel then take out the pump ( all the time I worked at that shop it was the only one that I replaced.)

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Timothy says:

    I just wanted you to know that you have got to be the best at figuring out what is wrong with a vehicle! Been watching for a few years, actually started watching when I got my first Honda….few hours ago for sure. Like to get a chance to chat with you one day. I'm a veteran living in my Chevy express with my cat Jake. Got electrical issues with the old girl, she's a 98 with a 305 sure would love to get your opinion on the old girl. Anyway I love your channel and keep up the excellent work!!

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bob francis says:

    Good job really enjoy watching your channel. Retired mechanic here glad to be done getting greasy and frustrated.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tyler Williams says:

    how you guys finding the right AES terminal tool to use for connectors? just keep trying one till it fits good? i often struggle finding the right flat blade one because there are so many options and all so close to eachother. maybe im just dumb…

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars richard cranium says:

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Walker says:

    Would you not wire the test lamps in series to give the supply a stress test?

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mlsargent51 says:

    Never thought of doubling the load with lights like that.. Nice tip!

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TIHS PID the REKCIL TILC says:

    Five years ago I needed a ride whether temporary or not and just came across a GMC Envoy XUV SLT V8 the day before it was getting crushed for a "blown engine." It was a battery with an internal short and I never want another vehicle as this is the handiest vehicle ever with about $3k in it now. Replacing the starter was on par with replacing the rear turbo in the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 I also saved from crunch crunch. Looking for an 82-84 Corolla hatchback if anyone knows of one for a commuter.

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike thompson says:

    Hello Phil, I haven't seen the worlds most eligible bachelor lately. nor the 2 ladies that used to be around. What gives?

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justa Hasbeen says:

    Has Phil asked for your autograph yet?

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars anton oudenhoven says:

    Lived through the operation to see part 2 .

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rockcycle Studio says:

    Eric you got eyes behind your head …that Edsel pulled away as you spook…dude… you sure you're not from another planet? Great video and thanks Phil for doing the dirty work!

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Walter Francis says:

    Phil is one lucky guy to get to work with you 👍

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrTheothercan says:

    I think the proper saying when you verify a fix on a Chevy by giving it the full beans is "we done did it!"

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R. N. says:

    The test drive sounded like. Kamala Harris speaking.

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Flowers says:

    Great video! Keep up the awesome work you do!

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars springfield45 says:

    'Tanks' for part 2, hopefully part 3 is a wheel bearing…

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bekim says:

    Hey Eric, love your videos. But I miss the intro you used to do. Please bring that back. Thank you!

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Lightfoot says:

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Lightfoot says:

    Phil has tats !

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lloyd Prunier says:

    Is it the ethanol in the gas that ruins the sending units or do they just make them from crappy material?

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Byron Watkins says:

    Often a $100,000 automobile will graciously sacrifice itself to save a $0.35 fuse.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Orion3 says:

    C'mon Phil! 🤣👍

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Huffman says:
