Appreciate your videos and your candor on things.I’ve learned quite a bit by watching and really appreciate your explanation on the why..
You always make it look easy..
Thanks again !
Think it is more because that is not how they would do it. Or maybe they think it cost too much to use butt connectors. I have started using them, and not sure I like them. But they sure beat a twist and tape job, and look way more professional. I personally want to do things to make the work look professional or as close to OEM as possible.
Worked for 38 years on industrial food processing equipment and used crimp connectors all the time only had a few fail and with heat, cold (frozen foods) cleaning chemicals are a lot more issues for failure the in a car even in New York!
Ok Eric, for us hicks in Indiana, what is the PRNY?
Love the creme Brulee Torch. Lol.
Had this on in the background and the moment you said "Someone's already played the washer game" I still knew exactly what you were talking about.
Tell those ppl what a connector would end up costing your customer.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Eric!
The only person thats gonna complain has never had to work in shop for a living with customers that just want their junk fixed cheap. ps the best hammer for a mechanic is any tool he can reach.
I've been watching too many of your videos. When you were bolting up the new blower motor (made in Canada I notice!) I kept hearing a whispered voice in my head saying, "Enhance! Enhance!" 😄😄😄
South Main Auto- Proudly brought to you by your friends at Fluid Film.
After watchn one of your videos on Krawn. I went out n had my 2018 sierra crewcab sprayed out here in Saskatchewan 🇨🇦. It's a great investment in your vehicle. Thanks Eric for that tid bit
I think Eric's new nickname should be The Tire Whisperer. 😎
Man, that salt belt is ruuf. Im just outside of it and so the salt belt effects me as well but geez, you get inside that belt and it'll strangle and shake ya car till the wheels fall off.
I've watchd your videos since
Our beards were black. Youve helped me diagnose n repair my vehicles through the years your a good man Eric. like many other viewers we love your how to videos.
another good video, I always see you use the wire strippers around the other way I always pull the insulation off against the flat side of the strippers
We’ve had a problem down here in the south that about 5-10 years ago used car lots started to go to auctions and buy those rusted out vehicles. They looked great but people never looked underneath. Then the “new” owner is trashing your shop for charging $800 for a “simple brake job”.
Hiya Eric
Hey Eric, I’ve always had one question for you based on growing up in PA and living in Illinois in the salt belt now. What’s the best cars to avoid rust issues?
I know you don’t work on European cars in general, but my vw/Audis have been pretty fantastic in terms of rust issues.
I’m constantly amazed at the rust issues you find on newer cars in your shop.
👍👊🇺🇲"🤣🤣"
Don't you mean Aluminium rivets? 😂
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh,,you did it wrong,,not really,,i never torque wheel nuts,,had a shop torque them, could not get them undone, went back said, 350lb,is a bit much..theres 8 lugs, 40 lb would suffice. once i count to 7 bangs under the guard, i pull over..
Someone needs to go back to tire school. I think I counted 4 wheel weights on that wheel you were spinning. Love the vids, keep it up
Who cares what tools you use and where you use them, You paid for them and it is no one else Business what you do with them. You got the job done in a fair amount of time. Great job as usual!!!!
keep up the great work.
I’ve been using these crimp and seal connectors for years after seeing them on your channel, I’m on my third box of them and have literally never had one come back failed, I will happily continue using them 🤷🏻♂️
pennsylvania uses a lot of salt too but I have worked on lots of cars with little to no rust… people don't wash the underside of their cars and hit the rust with spray paint before it becomes a problem.
tell those,??,,tossers..to take it to a brand shop,,see what they do & what it costs..
blowing in the right diresction,,that sucks..
Am a certified Armchair Mechanic with over 6 years of use on the same chair and I'd say that all of those repairs are acceptable.
Being a mechanic in the rust belt keeps your on your toes. I live in Texas, and I see you repair relatively new vehicles of things that are unheard of here in the south. My daily driver is a 1997 GMC Sierra. This truck wouldn't exist anymore in the north.
Great job. Thinking of becoming ur neighbor so you will work on my car…..lol……
You are always so even tempered. Have you ever sent a part across the shop in a moment?
i think some people get pissed because there JERKS!!!!!! LOL!!!!
Have you ever tried using those spring loaded automatic wire strippers? I'm addicted, now that I've learned how to eyeball the gauge of wire lol. Of course, your tool can both strip and crimp so its probably saving you time at the end of the day 🙂
You never fail to entertain, thanks Eric!
Hey, that aftermarket blower appears to have been made in Canaderp. That`ll be the Cockford-Ollie !
I was waiting for some mouse poops to pop off using that handy torch 😅
It's funny, I could hear the intrawebs yelling at me this past weekend when I used a chrome socket on my impact. And I haven't posted videos. Wow, they are loud!
Keep being honest.
Love you.
Peace.
There are quality crimp connectors. Then there are the crappy good-for-nothings hanging on shelves of parts houses.
My own personal experience: I use crimp-ons only on copper wires. Everything else seems to slip out like a limp noodle.
Good job Eric .
12 point chrome or go home
Same in PA.. but with my gravel roads it rips any coating off.. got 12 years out of my last truck. The stay hammered the roads today with the liquid spray in the snow. People still crashed like allways in the snow and got stuck.
Imagine there was a band that played for all the haters called Eric O and the Flush Cuts. Cause he doesn't give an expletive
The classic SNAP ON PWCS7ACF. Best wire stripper/crimper
Well if that ain’t the fanciest river gun I ever did see.
There is nothing wrong with cutting the plug & crimping the wires. Plugs do fail, as was the case with the OEM one. In theory the crimp joints you did should better than a plugged in joint. As you say the car won't be long in this world, so it wouldn't be worth purchasing a plug that you would then most likely crimp the tails on anyway – you could have soldered I guess, but you could have done this here also. Some people just complain because they can, not because of sound argument.
