We made the call after properly diagnosing this LeSabre, ( https://youtu.be/8ZrNiWKVbkE ) now it is time to get the car fixed and out the door. The OEM C.A.R.B. Convertor was way more than this car was worth so we installed an aftermarket C.A.R.B. cat to keep the EPA and the customer happy. Let's see how it turns out. -Enjoy!

    You're a bit like me. I hate gloves, even for small welding & grinding jobs! You & Rainman Ray are like peas in a pod.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Kerley says:

    As a welder and have been around auto shops .you did great

    Diablo sawzall blades are much better than Milwaukee I've found.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WOLFMAN TROY says:

    Can I do a CAT bypass on a 2007 LeSabre? I live in Alaska and have no emissions test to pass.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mister Mxyzptlk says:

    INVEST in Diablo "thick metal" blades.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Whitley says:

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon Miner says:

    This comment is from 2022. Catalytic theft is on the rise. Does anybody have recommendations regarding anti-car theft or ant-catalytic theft? Top thieves are using the access port under the dash to recode a key to spec. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!

    Nice!! Thx

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Morris says:

    If you can do it , I can do it. I’m sure you know that isn’t true. It’s that logic that bends pins on computer modules lol. Experience is what makes a mechanic good or bad

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard V says:

    A real true mechanic. Excellent job well done. 😊

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Road Runner says:

    I thought plan B was going to be an angle grinder. Na, straight to the good stuff

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Robinson says:

    Great job on that Buick!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Robinson says:

    Awesome job

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CAYMAN987 says:

    Your welding looks better than mine. I can just stick metal together. 🙄

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Quick Silver says:

    Man you are awesome, need more mechanics/technicians like you! My mother has similar Buick LeSabre. Once it been worked on it never drove the same!!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scott McIntosh says:

    Hellow Wellcome
    To South Main Autto !!!

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Joyce says:

    After torching u-clamp now you can’t take off the nuts. Should have cut them off

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Mefford says:

    If it holds an doesn’t leak it’s good enough.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FJB MAGA says:

    dont forget to rob the customer and "forget " to give him back his old cat so you can scrap it for 300$ lol

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MICHAEL DUKE says:

    Interesting video.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sarah bateman says:

    you are a mechanic vs a tech…i'm thinking of rainman ray ..grin.. but seriously not all people can pay 100 bucks n hour plus top of the line parts

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brain Drain says:

    I'm a welding instructor at an aircraft mechanics school. Your welding looks swell!

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars W Greathouse says:

    I've never had a problem with the Walker or a Eastern converter.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars busmirror says:

    As a certified master welder, I see nothing wrong with your welds, actually they're quite good! You didn't do anything different from what we all do from time to time, ie. striking off a little extra run-out on the edge of our work….yeah we're supposed to cut the wire with our nippers, which are usually just out of reach. Proud of you, brother!

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Brooks says:

    Great Video!
    Mechanic
    Welder
    Machinist
    All on One
    Take Care!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars That Guy says:

    You're a good dude. You remind me of my old boss. Also, I've welded more in a day than the majority of the "your welding sucks" commenters will ever weld in their lives – and I say your welding is just friggin fine.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Smith or Jones says:

    I always pull my welds (even downhill). Someone told me that half the time I'm doing it wrong, but that means half the time I'm doing it right. I'm good with that.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Fenwick says:

    Your the man!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr504319 says:

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars u says:

    Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983. They will be bringing the Hawk down here to Texas soon to chop her up and sell the steel. She holds the record for the most ordnace dropped on Veitnam during the war.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Sechrist says:

    You're a good mechanic Eric with fine moral standards. God Bless you and your family.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jose Ceballos says:

    What did the old cat look like was it visibly obstructed?

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars War Against Myself says:

    I have a buick 1991 lesabre. Its showing online that is has a long pipe for it, do i need to cut the whole pipe off? I thought it was just the silver box thing

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 505 fast life says:

    Those welds were damn good for someone who only welds occasionally. What method did you use flux core or gas?

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Lopez says:

    You know the torch was always plan A and never B 😆

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MITS _ says:

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert White says:

    Outstanding job ! We need more great ones Like Eric O !

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars djtechinics97 Dj says:

    The best mechanic I’ve seen. Not in it for the money but you care about fixing it right and saving the customer money. Can’t bring you my car to fix but I can shop for a shirt to show some support.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cype man says:

    Has Vinny called for the protection money?

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Reeves says:

    Not boring at all. Very educational for me.
