Happy New Year, I've enjoyed being on this journey with you for a while now.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Happy New Year to you too! Thanks for being along for the ride! Really appreciate the generosity my friend!

[@dangleebols]

Thanks for the mention Jimmy I was really grateful for that, with the TopDon go to the vehicle listing page and click "Refresh" at the top of the page it will put back all the vehicles up to when the subscription expired. Also you can click update to do any non vehicle related updates for the scanner, but again click "Refresh" afterwards. The You Tube name Dan Gleebols comes from a very old UK joke of going to a customer desk at a store and asking for Mr Gleebols to come to the desk, first name Dan, will Dan Gleebols please come to the desk please 🤣🤣😂.............Keep up the amazing work you do on the channel, it's your personality that makes it so special.........Phill

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Awesome, thanks so much for the refresh on that Phil! You’re truly awesome!

Happy New Year all members of the channel 🎆

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Happy new year, appreciate all the support in 2024! Maybe we’ll get to 30k in 2025? :)

[@donleamon8653]

Jimmy, next tool buying question -> Would you go standard length universal (swivel) or deep 1/4” sockets first. I’m trying to strategically spend my Discount Tire xmas bonus this year on tool upgrades to go with my new ICON box. (That is how I stumbled onto your channel a couple months ago.) Love the scanner diagnostic explanations. I’d like to see how your’re probing those connectors at the purge valve. I have a hunch. Happy New Year from AZ, the “other” snowbird geriatric destination. 😂

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That is awesome Don! I’d go with deep swivels, that’s what I use mostly and they clear 95% in most tasks. Maybe also get singles for 13,10 and 8mm shallows next. Sometimes only a shallow 8 will reach a clamp. Thanks for the idea on a backprobing video. :)

[@MitchGaar]

Wait until you hit 70 Jimmy! Relevance goes away! lol Happy New Year!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Lol, I think relevance will be in a fog at least. ;)

[@seancollins111]

Good catch on the purge valve bad ground

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Sean!

[@MartyM22]

Have a Happy New Year's Jimmy!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Marty, all the best on 2025!

[@LuisRocha-]

Happy New Year!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Happy new year Tony!

[@Stonehands75]

Keep them coming we will see you in the next one Have an awesome holiday And I am so jealous you are able to see and touch that starter I am so use to the v6 cruiser that’s blind and by feel😢

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh man, it gets worse, holy cow you boat mechanics are legends! :)

[@mlieser1230]

Happy New Year Jimmy! It wasn't the engineers at Napa that conjured up the evap purge valve kit. It was the elves at the Dorman toy works. Dorman put those quick connect fittings on the hoses to make the weekly purge valve changes easier! 🤣🤣

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for the info! I figured it was something along those lines. Haha I also hear Ford is extending the warranty.

[@crasher88]

on that escape purge valve I highly recommend getting the ford one. I have seen quite a bit of the aftermarket ones built incorrectly and the part that clips onto the intake manifold won't fully click on and will vibrate off

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Ok, if we have trouble with it, we’ll go to a For done for sure.

[@ManicMechanic007]

Happy New Year Jimmy and congrats on the 22k.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

[@jamesu]

Thanks Jimmy

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Welcome James!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Good morning and happy New Year's Eve Jimmy.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Scott! Happy New Year!

[@williamwalker4029]

Jimmy! You're welcome my friend I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. We had puppies first Christmas at my house wrapping paper and puppy Cane corsos good times! We have New Year's Eve off even though we work Christmas Eve I think the owner had a little change of heart after we got F... on our Christmas bonus this year

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks! Sounds like a great Christmas! All the best in 2025 my friend!

[@oldbiker9739]

those extra heavy sockets are great for harmonic Honda crank balancers when doing timing belts

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I love a good heavy socket, especially when I'm working on something super tight! Thanks OB!

[@dangleebols]

Happy New Year my friend 🎉

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you and Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@tedvandell]

Have a great new year Jimmy

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

[@discipline3318]

Dang Jimmy you gotta tell us how everybody took it when they found out the verdict on that Malibu

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

There was some sadness, some started rowing a bit, but in the end the customer wants to do the repair! Video soon!

[@dannyhubert9477]

Happy new year buddy I hope the new year jimmy

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Should be in next weeks videos! :) Thank you for the support!

[@jimoliver5758]

I must of missed something on the Prius with the brake booster motor. You said there more to come on it on Monday.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

There will be a whole new video on Monday about the Prius, wanted to fix a noise in the steering…but for now enjoy today's episode!

[@tom535]

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That’s good stuff!

[@discipline3318]

Heck yeah Right on time I just got my Taco Bell & Fried Chicken !!!! wohoo Edit: Jimmy you need to get those scabs on your ear checked again, ASAP

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha awesome! Yeah my wife said the same thing. Thanks!

[@kathysexton4554]

@@JimmyMakingitwork LISTEN to your lovely wife!

[@jacobdykes6736]

So if i understood correctly the purge has voltage on the ground side until the pcm grounds it

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Correct. In electrical circuits a ground controlled, or pull down circuit will flow electricity thru it with resistance. Once grounded the circuit activates. Try it with a light bulb to see how it works. Hook a meter to one bulb lead, power to the other, after measuring voltage, hook that lead to ground and the bulb will light and you’ll be measuring voltage drop at that point on the ground. I have a video on the works that will be out soon.

[@giggiddy]

The ground acting other than a ground, by carrying voltage or controlling something by pulses from the pcm just pisses me off for some reason. I always started a diagnostic cycle by making sure my grounds were solid. That was kind of my rock. Everything else stemmed from there. Now that principle is no longer a non wavering step. Maybe it's been like that for a long time. I guess I'm just hearing about it. All bets are kinda off now in terms of basic diag now.

[@giggiddy]

​@@JimmyMakingitworkI look forward to that video as I'm speechless after seeing that. Thank you sir!😅😅😅😅

[@nonamegarage6721]

Your neighbor needs to use his quiet hammer...and the Caveman is still at it , I see. Happy New Year !

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha I’m going to pass it on and see if we can quiet him For 2025!

[@rmp608]

Up by me in New York I would love to be friends with the Dunkin workers I see all the time...except no one speaks English...LOL...

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Hahaha that’s a problem.

[@davidgriffin14]

When are you doing the goodies giveaway!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

This coming weekend all the winners will be announced. I’ll pin or copy and paste their post, one in each of the most recent videos. I’ll also mention them in upcoming videos to make sure the winners know the results! :)

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Another Great day in the shop! Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for the well wishes and Happy New Year my friend!

[@sirsparksalot]

The engineers are designing parts for manufacturing not for the mechanics. If Ford makes that purge assembly in two pieces that UAW worker has to put their coffee down and use two hands and install. Next thing you know they have picket lines asking for 6 figure salaries.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Rofl, nailed it!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

3.6 with 300k and a person who didn’t take care of it

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Amazing how some of them survive regardless and others just randomly grenade at 40k.

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

@ yup

[@lloydweems6237]

It’s no wonder Ford quit making cars, with the crazy level of complexity they couldn’t make money. They have fallen so far since the late 90s.

[@mikenonameneeded3485]

Their best ad campaign was Quality is job #1. Yeah, that went out the door quickly

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I think the federal paying manufacturers so hard has damaged them all to some degree. Some are handling a little better or worse though.

[@wisfull11]

know one said engineers were smart just bean counters. wonder if when they have their cars worked on does their mechanic chew them out ? lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol, I hope so!
