One thing I like about your videos is your content is straight to the point. I’ve tried to watch and unsubscribed from other popular diagnostics channels because it’s a 52 minute video of the guy blabbing in a video that would take you 15-20 mins and teach me the same process. Keep it up. I went through watched and liked every video you’ve made. Thanks!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thank you so much!

[@calholli]

At 500k miles, that's probably the 3rd starter by now. I'd say it has earned the right for another new one. :) I think they are lifetime free replacement if he still has the old receipt.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

💯 agree it was well deserved!

[@lakesautomotivediagnostics6509]

Visual inspection for the WIN 🔧🎉🔧

[@DependableAutoTruck]

good job sometimes customers don't understand that they can have several problems

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

💯

[@lakesautomotivediagnostics6509]

Well, you passed me up brother, congratulations onward and upward

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Much appreciated!

[@8power0]

REAL WORLD STUFF ,,,,,,,,,,,,, THANKS HOPING FOR MORE VIDEOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

The cam actuator circuit was just a warm up diag for the no-crank haha

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

😂 Thanks for watching!

[@bobsoft]

When cutting into a wire loom 5:00 Go to a sewing store like Michael's and get a "Loops & Thread Seam Ripper" . It allows you to cut away the tape without cutting into wires.

[@TheShop10]

Quickest broken wire diag I have seen. Badass man.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks!

[@fredautos]

500K miles😲 that's pretty cool

[@mlieser1230]

Nothing wrong with using uninsulated butt connectors for repairs. As long as you use a good marine grade heat shrink and make sure the harness doesn't have constant tension, the repair will be solid.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

3.6 with 500k I keep seeing that on KZbin. Hope more last that long 🤠

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I don't know what number engine is in it. It's a fleet for school vehicles. They all have really high miles. Thanks for watching!

[@FadetoBlack1463]

Great content! Keep them coming.

[@dtandfam8100]

Lol its always something! Glad you worked through it. Yeah I don't blame you one bit. Better to leave the car in the same, if not better, condition than starting! Literally 😆 thanks for sharing!

[@PhillipBailey]

Good diagnosis but seriously the shop could change an engine but not do that basic diagnosis? I've been using those uninsulated spices and heat shrink forever without soldering. Don't you love it when it breaks in your possession...

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

I don't think he even tries to diag them, he is changing engines and transmission for a fleet. I've been called multiple times for a blown fuse. Thanks for watching!

[@danielschmidt2721]

There are mechanics and technicians some people can’t do both 😉

[@automotiveam]

I hate when your working on something and something else breaks 😬... awesome video man!!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks for watching!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I like these videos before I watch them. Always good learning

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Glad you like them!

[@jefftovani5535]

Another great video my friend!! Good old basic test light,very handy and dirt cheap to make!! 500,636miles,she just broken in!!! I've seen 300,000 a few times,never 1/2 million,lol!! Thanks for sharing my friend!!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks for your support Jeff!

[@alrifainidal]

LOL I feel you, Nice fix

[@jesusfonseca9364]

Heck yeah man another video! Amazing content!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Appreciate it!

[@PaulCTownsend]

Good job.

[@zrose389]

Nothing is easy! This always happens when you celebrate to early!

[@timothybarnes533]

Good video enjoyed watching this!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@madmike214]

Wow! You cought it fail right on camera😅 at least it was at a shop...a customer would not have believed it for second. Nice work as usual!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Very true! It's also a Fleet shop so the guy couldn't care less he has a stack of starters on the side.

[@deshawnmoon35]

This was a amazing video!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thank you!!

[@deshawnmoon35]

@@advancedleveldiagnostics Thank for sharing your knowledge!

[@bartscave]

Awesome, efficient diagnosis. Thanks for sharing.

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

Thanks for watching!

[@djosbun]

Nothing is stronger than an uninsulated butt connector and adhesive-lined heat shrink. Solder will eventually fail due to vibration.

[@themechanic6117]

Nice repair, that's unfortunate. It's happened to me before. Nissan central came in for power steering working then it wouldn't crank, had to diagnose a replace a bad starter. Customer was not happy ...

[@joesmo4749]

I'm with you on what number engine being a 3.6 pentastar! Glad your better!

[@joeandgod1]

So you diagnosed 2 different problems.

[@crisprtalk6963]

Very fortunate the starter died there and not when the customer was stranded somewhere.

[@deeswaz3318]

Question for you... What are you using to get this schematics? Are they part of your scant tool or is it a program on your tablet? Thanks for what you do

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

It is a program on my tablet called Mitchell1.
