(in response to your plastic screw comment) As an engineer (not automotive) I honestly do appreciate feedback from my production crew and service as well. Makes me better at my job and betters my product. I can tell you that its normally management that pushes for certain ridiculous things to be used, whether it be for cost savings or for whatever deal they've made with a friend to buy and use a certain product. Salesmen selling things to managers that push their desires to the engineer. As an engineer, I appreciate a good challenge, but it can be shrouded in others agendas.

[@EmbraceTheSuck]

I see that on an almost daily basis with the commercial trucks I drive.

[@kjisnot]

Pretty similar process to state government purchases I've witnessed for the time I worked with them. Somehow contract proposals pretty much locked only certain providers. By the way the same companies also seemed to be having managers for expensive lunches, sports events and out of town "conferences" and maybe even (my suspicion) the occasional new TV or boat. But I never found anything I could prove to turn it over to the state AG. In the end they bought a lot of inferior stuff but always boasted how great it was.

I'm a mechanical engineer, retired, but also a mechanic. I learned mechanic-ing from my old Dad who had been a WWII REME mechanic and later a mechanic trainer. My engineering side benefited a huge amount form my mechanic-ing side and also the other way round. Some of the work I did was what is known as operability and maintainability of new plant designs. Only by having worked on real stuff can you properly know how to make something easier to operate and maintain.

[@patrickdiehl6813]

As a former service technician and later on a quality manager I agree 100% when you encounter poor design it raises your appreciation for good design 👍

I remember back in the late 70's and early 80's cars ( American made ) used to come with a 2 piece fan shroud. Made it so much easier to take it out. I worked as a mechanic in the 80's while in high school.

[@richardmurray9204]

But they probably saved 5 cents per car by making it one piece, Screw the mechanics we save money.

[@throttlebottle5906]

my "two piece" (upper/lower), quickly became "three piece" (lower and two upper halves). when I discovered it wouldn't come out without removing half the van (early 90's Chevy G20.) the 1980's models you could get the shroud out, then some brilliant engineering occurred... 🙄🙄

[@MandrakeDCR]

I'll never forget my car doing the same thing after coming home off the road. Slow crawl up to hot when idling, then cool back to normal once moving. No leaks, levels looked good, etc. Took it in to Bob's auto here locally - he called me and had me take a look. Apparently someone ran over a caution cone, and the base flipped out under my wife right dead center. It had flipped up on it's way through and bent the radiator in on itself. She had gone to the dealer, they didn't see anything wrong in a cursory glance I guess, and sent her on her way. No puncture, but seriously inhibiting flow. He was surprised it was working as well as it was. New radiator, no more problem.

@@patrickdiehl6813 The only problem with using a label maker is that the blow-molded cases are typically made with a 'pebbled' exterior surface, which is not ideal for adhesive labels. Also, by this point, there may be petroleum contamination of the surfaces, which is a MUCH more minor issue, and can be remediated with cleaning. - edit: But the label maker is great for marking shelves!

I heard Ford finally got rid of the front aluminum spacer of death, most my ford's in the late 80s through the 90s had an aluminum spacer between the front of the engine and everything else and alway started leaking something after 100,000 miles. Also had a ford waterpumps fins rust off, never used a garden hose, always distilled water with antifreeze or an antifreeze mix. Overheated towing a car hauler with a friends project car, once I dropped the trailer and car at his house the truck was fine, talked to a few guys and one suggested waterpump might have a couple broken fins, close enough, they were rusted down to the shaft so only thermodynamics was pumping water through the system.

[@hotpuppy1]

Plastic push screws are for quick assembly at the time of manufacture while still theoretically able to be removed later without breaking. (Assembled a LOT of cars in 19 years on assembly line.)

[@RepoDraghon]

I believe that plug area that on the new radiator has a screw in it is actually there as a way to make the water flow a lot easier when draining the radiator much like leaving the cap off of the expansion tank like you did earlier. I know my BMW had that when I had one and boy was that car nightmare...

[@moneysaversilver]

PS you know what makes a good engineer having a good technician by him to ask questions

[@jovangrbic97]

You can change the stabilization setting and maybe a video quality/processing one in the camera, that will make it run cooler. It even says in the description of the option 'for cooler running select blabla option', that could prevent your overheating and have a negligible effect on the quality...

[@superloopy24v]

Nice work, sometimes the amount of head scratching and figuring out how to get the result you want is quite a lot, but the reward of getting it right makes it worthwhile even without factoring in the cost saving.

I have a story to share with you, Ray... my 2021 Hyundai Tucson (24K miles) suddenly choked and died on the side of the highway last week. Had it towed to the dealer's shop. The service advisor seemed to imply that it was total engine failure, and that it would be a few days to get approval from corporate to start any service on it. I freaked, of course, but that's beside the point. A week later, come to find it wasn't a problem with the engine. I read the comments on the receipt, and had to smile; because I've been watching your channel for quite some time, I knew exactly what they did, I'll quote from the paper " Customer states the car runs but shakes and cuts off. Check and advise. Tecnician Scanned for Diagnostic trouble codes and found P0304. Removed and inspected cylinder 4 ignition coil, and spark plug and found no faults. Swapped coil and plug to good cylinder and misfired stayed on cylinder 4. inspected fuel pressure and found that it was dropping removed plug again and found fuel on top of piston, leaking from injector in cylinder number 4 recommend replacement of 1 fuel injector to correct. Technician replaced cylinder 4 fuel injector, cleared dianostic trouble codes, and test drove to verify. complete working as designed." Thanks for showing us what you do, I can visualize exactly what this technician did.
