My granddaughter's watch the show and they're both signed up to go to Mitchell tack in Mitchell South DakotaMarie was a great inspiration for them saying if she can do it they can do it and they would like to have their own shop and I would sponsor them with a shop so keep up the good work and you have a wonderful wife that works with you and alongside of you and the kids keeps everything going smooth... I like your honesty especially when it comes to state and and all the kids say hi my two granddaughters Ashley and Amber love to watch your videos

Mr. O, I've enjoyed all of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make em. That last video with taking Mrs. O to the junk yard and all was fantastic and hilarious. Thanks

[@curtisbacon7856]

Excellent work Mr O! It's nice to see someone who does the job right and will do it again if necessary. I recently discovered your channel and was immediately impressed by your work ethic. As a mechanic myself for more than 40 years I can say guy's like you are few and far between and if you were in my town you would have a job at my shop in 2 seconds flat anytime you wanted it! I also had an opportunity to watch a video of a single mom becoming a nurse who was in need of a good car. Excellent job giving her the car. My heart goes out to you and your family and the youngsters. I thank GOD for putting you where are for this purpose. GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. 👍👍👍 !

It's nice once every blue moon when a job actually goes smooth. Glad you had a good day bro.

Backed my wife's 97 Chevy Astro van up our driveway due to snow forecast overnight. The following morning she decided it would be best to coast down the driveway instead of using the brakes. She bottomed out at the end of the driveway setting off both airbags. All parts were discontinued so I had to replace both airbags, impact sensor, and the module (code was latched) with wrecking yard parts. Fortunately all part numbers were identical and she was back on the road a couple of days later.

[@ruobe1]

that sure is a pretty garage door opener

[@billburkart9087]

Nice quick diag and relatively simple (although pricey) fix. Much to be said for experience as much as fancy diagnostic tools. You "knew" what it was before you even pulled the code. Nice work. The only thing I'll say about the glimpse of Mrs. O on the garage door opening is that it's always a great reminder that you run a family, neighborhood business. Well done, sir.

Fixed my Duramax today. 1 airbag sensor in middle of radiator bracket. Not 2 like the 1500’s. B0103 code.

[@nboca80]

Just did the same thing on my 07 Sierra, looked even worse than that one, by the time I took the screw out there was no sensor , only dust. Enjoy the videos, keep it up. Only wish you out this video few days earlier, put in Dorman as replacement, doh.

[@MrTruckerf]

Dorman's are every bit as good as GM; in fact, they are made at the same place. And it ain't in the US, either!

[@brianwolf692009]

I just changed the speed sensor in the transfer case of my 96 blazer. I remember when all you needed was a vacuum to shift gears.... Ahh the good ol' days.

[@timerickson7056]

That's a hell of a automatic garage door opener

[@richbatz139]

I was thinking the same thing

[@venomrogue1]

On my truck, I changed the same sensor, with same code. Also said front right. Only to find the left front was swollen with crud, and light didn’t turn off after changing just the one. Changed both and presto! All fixed!

[@justina249]

Glad I found this video. Even if it's few years old. The service airbag just popped on on my 2010 silverado. Looks like an easy fix but I'm gonna have to try to apply for a bank loan to get it fixed. Lol. Ive been doing some googling and every one says dont drive it cause airbags won't deploy if you're in a wreck. Well what's the difference when I had my old 85 ford F150 that didn't have airbags. That a safety issue too? 🤔

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I had one of these on a '08 Sierra a couple years back. That truck had a whole list of issues, from bad u-joints, bad ball joints, hub bearings, and GMT-800 series axles in the 900 series truck (stretched to the MAX, lol - yanked the boots right off), plus an ABS unit full of green pus. The sensors on this one were so bad, it tore the label in half! I bought Dorman ones, since his bill was extreme with all the work I did. The Dorman ones looked IDENTICAL in every way to the OE ones I removed - made me think Dorman was manufacturing them for GM. That wouldn't shock me ... but, the light went out and all was well. They were half the money of OE.

[@lynnmiller5183]

Good job Eric quick and easy

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Very well. Joe at Joe's Auto Electric loves Dorman parts as much as you do.

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Had that on my Yukon Denali. My super cheap blu Driver code reader read it, said what side it was... Said the most common fix was "replace sensor"... so I did. I wanna say I got it for $60 off Amazon??? Older truck though, it was an 04. But it was a GM part, came in a GM box, looked just like the old one... worked! Fixed it for years, till I sold the truck.... My old one looked just like yours... Hahahah! Very bulged, showing signs of not goodness.... the Wisconsin north woods is not easier on trucks than the greater Buffalo area.....

[@Slicko316]

This is a common problem in gen 1 silverados too so right back to 1998, but I personalty have had pretty good luck with the aftermarket sensors, mind you i try not to crash them, but the codes dont come back.

[@JeffWinter1]

Welcome back to the Chevy repair channel. Since GM is not selling many reliable vehicles, they've changed their business model to make all their profit on parts for older models.

[@MarkPdot]

Also includes previous 1999-2007 classic models as well. My previous 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 had an intermittent air bag issue. Truck was totalled before I got it fixed...fortunately air bag still worked as intended.

[@rvmagnum5415]

I would put tape over the light before I spend 400 on two sensors , was told you can't fail nys inspection for an air bag light.

[@robinsonsmotorcycleandauto3929]

Yeah some have 2 different impact sensors that could be installed hence you need the original part number. See it often where a shop buys the cheap one and it needs the more expensive one of course. Believe one is considered a active impact sensor where as the cheaper one isn't.

[@Chevyguy-Ray]

If I could change out the modules on my s10 like that, I would have. GM no longer has them in their database. Same goes for my Abs system. As always Dr.O got the patient back to good health 😊

[@djambrosia]

For a VW you would still be removing the whole front of the car to get to the sensor.

[@03HemiCentralIN]

I just did a head gasket on a mk4 1.8t jetta. Basically took everything off and i only broke 3 vacuum lines.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@03HemiCentralIN - I did an oil pan on one. Total nightmare. Whole engine cradle / subframe had to get unbolted except for the rear 2 bolts, and lowered. Then I STILL had to battle to get the thing out of there. I HATE VW, lol.

[@03HemiCentralIN]

@@SmittySmithsonite I especially hate the engine mounts and timing. Those never go on easy.

[@twwtb]

I loved driving my TDI Jetta, BUT. First nail in the coffin: had to special order oil for the oil change. Second nail in the coffin: special order oil for the DSG transmission. Third nail in the coffin: front bumper cover, both headlights, radiator frame, can't remember what-all else to change the A/C condenser. I just can't find a way to get along with this lil' gal so she's all spiffed up and up for sale.

There's your problem lady.. I find myself saying this a lot lately, thanks to Eric..

[@u1richh]

My truck has been making my front impact sensors bulge, bust open, and get crusties all over it. My opinion is that all 08 GM trucks are junkyard quality at this point, between the FPCM and other common issues.

[@pughconsulting]

I've swapped them, cleared the code, then rechecked if the code changed. Easy way to find out which one is shot or you're chasing something else as the culprit. Turns out these Silverados also have paper thin wiring all under the seats. If you, gasp, move seats forward and backward often for whatever reason, it can, dare I say will, eventually make one of those wires break. So good luck if you have kids and have to move the seats often to get them into a car seat. Brush up on the soldering skill.
