[@lancecorey6582]

I trust you. I've seen enough of your videos to easily believe that the problems no longer exist when the vehicle is returned to the customer.

[@keithhudson8205]

Eric, I just wanted to tell you your videos are right back to fantastic! These videos have been helpful, funny, show a very uplifting shop Your humor is on cue, it makes you want to binge watch all day. So. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@robertsmith2956]

I've seen even the come backs are not come backs but repeat business. 🥲

[@larrygossett7146]

Those who have trust issues shouldn`t watch. You are an exceptional mechanic. Keep up the good work and tell Mrs.O not to spank you so hard. Retired a mechanic after 41 years, seen alot of wantabes and you don`t fit the profile.

[@lactusgalacto1174]

Go to the stealership and part changers, incompetent independent shops if you have trust issues with an honest competent mechanic, like Eric O.

[@peterhodgkins6985]

NO trust issues here! ;) Thanks for the followup... As usual, you called it.

[@richardhaag3959]

As long as Mrs.O trusts you I trust you

[@smitty1952]

Definitely no trust issues here Eric!! Keep doing what you are doing.

[@trenttadsen3066]

I trust you Eric! Nice to get the follow-up.

[@SWD_Explorer]

99% of us do. It’s the one percenter that spoils it for us.

[@brucehobbs1734]

Anytime Mr. O posts is a great day.

[@larryowens3693]

Hey Eric just to let you know I trust you completely. Have been an industrial mechanic since I was 20 and do all of my own maintenance on my vehicles. Had many late model trucks and have always been cable to work my way thru the issues. Have learned so much from yourself, Rainman and Ivan. By the way I'm now 74 and and still continue own work, do no trust stealerships except for warranty work. Keep up the excellent channel my friend.

[@johnpereira822]

Thanks for the closure lol

[@tomrude1288]

Ain't no trust issues. My Sentra's AC quit along with the cooling fans (outside temp 94°+). Followed Eric's logic and wire diagram to find a broken wire. Simple fix no parts required. Thanks Eric for the instruction.

[@CycleGeezer-cq9lm]

Ha! Anyone with trust issues after watching more than five SMA videos has not been paying attention. You are by far the best there is. And honest and trustworthy to boot!! Your town/area/neighborhood should realize what a great asset they have. I wish my Louisiana area had as good a mechanic!! Keep up the good work. We all love the great content.

[@Michael-yi4mc]

Fixing a disposable car takes a special kind of talent.

[@truracer20]

You seem a little salty. 13 years old, 150k+ , direct injection, still runs well, New York car and it's not rotted out. If I were a domestic fanboi I'd be salty too.

[@torkrench]

No trust issues here brother I've learned a lot from you over the years

[@BrianS_IN]

My day is complete 😃

[@jamesu]

Eric Obrochta for President!

[@CS-cx9gp]

I really like the follow-up videos. We’re invested in the storyline when you have to stop for customer approval and want to know what happened.

[@dennisfelix1507]

Enhance, enhance…….keep cracking me up! Thanks!!

[@clintprice2123]

I have zero trust issues with you Eric, you NEVER let us down. If only other mechanics had your skills at finding the true cause of many modern car issues.

[@ednordhagen7827]

Hay Eric just ordered a South main T-shirt to support my favorite KZbin channel.😊 Next summer I plan on driving my 92 Corvette to Michigan. I'm going to try to get to NY to meet you and show you the Vette. It's a 92 with 19567 Miles on it. Always garage kept never been in the rain. Your going to have a fit when you see a NEW 92 Corvette.

[@davidthomits544]

I’m not a keyboard warrior mr o I trust you that’s why I watch your videos

[@mightyclos1984]

Cmon Eric O. You know you edited those cracks for the video! 😂

[@acegard7801]

I appreciate that you work on our trust issues.

[@therichey29]

Anyone who has watched your videos as I have for number of years,will as I have come to thrust your judgment and your problem solving is second to none .Thanks Eric good luck well done .

[@bobberndt9744]

Rust issues, obviously. Trust issues ? Not even a tiny little bit !!

[@kcc2337]

I think it's funny as hell you throw in the trust issue comments on every video. Basically saying you do it ethically your way to the haters and you don't care what they think. I think a montage of off camera torquing to factory specification would be hilarious. You are the best Eric. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@lilibethdoherty295]

Korean Cadillac Quality at it's Finest !

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Are you saying we check but verify 😅. You are a man of integrity, which is rare nowadays. I feel your community is lucky to have you. 🎉 Excellent mechanics are hard to come by.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Thanks for helping with my trust issues! LoL 😂😆 You're the best! Congratulations on 903K subscribers!!

[@Brealytren5760]

Rust Jacking...amazingly powerful! Cracked the windshield in my wife's cheap Chrysler van back in the day. Thanks for the ongoing education, Mr O!

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Remember kids, just say no to crack! 🤣

[@1320pass]

No issues here Mr O. We appreciate you.

[@milwaukeeroadjim9253]

As you predicted Mr O

[@miceinoz1181]

Love the Trust Issues comment. Thanks for the followup Eric, helps close the loop sometimes.

[@SouthMainAuto]

You bet!

[@GunfighterWyo]

I have complete confidence in your judgement Eric. Don't listen the Monday morning keyboard jockeys. They know all the answers but never turned a wrench. You are great! So is Miss O when she makes an appearance.

[@TheMystikal82]

But Eric those cracks could have happened because you used the air hammer! Just kidding 😂

[@robertames688]

We believe you. You are a awesome mechanic. Sometime if my Chevy truck needs fixed I will bring it to your shop.

[@robertlevandowski4457]

Thanks for the follow-up! I've got a '12 Kia Optima (essentially the same car) that's throwing very-small-leak evap codes again a year after having the canister replaced; now I know where to connect my smoke machine, and that if it's the fuel pump it's probably at the "pay to make it someone else's problem" level :D (I'd take it back to the guy who did the canister-you've gotta drop the exhaust to do that and I'm not equipped to handle getting exhaust bolts off a 12-year-old NY/CT car-but I actually had to complain to the state to get him to send me an invoice so I could pay him. I mean, if you've got a customer saying "please send me the bill so I can give you money, I would like to pay you in full" for two months after the customer has the car back, and you STILL can't write it up until a state inspector calls you to ask "what the heck?" you've got some problems...)

[@318ishonk]

Thanks for the update Eric. Gives us closure. All good now

[@robertnicholson771]

Thanks for the follow up, especially for sharing your lessons learned.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Thanks for watching!

[@victorbellan8357]

No trust issues here ! Thanks for explaining !

[@NV..V]

Your word is golden brother. Semper Fi

[@paulroggemann1017]

I VETTED you a LONG time back. Keep it coming.

[@theomurphyross8338]

Wow. Makes me happy being in Australia. 1 we don't have much rust to make that happen. 2 most of our cars here don't require evap system monitoring, so no chasing "small and very small leaks"

[@richardthomas1743]

And remember folks , If Eric can do it we can do it too!

[@chuckdiesal83]

That's where the trust issues come from.

[@dennisbailey4296]

You did an excellent job geting the pump off the tank without destroying the tank or pnmp!! Great call what a mess of a cracked up mess and saving the gas tank!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada

[@dougheywood4692]

Thanks for the followup, your nose knows!

[@Elvisthebullyking]

Quite possible the best video ever made on your Channel

[@markwatson9816]

No trust issues here!!

[@wingman8447]

Thanks for the follow up. Trust issues? Who the heck would have trust issues with you? Wow

[@joeroggenbeck8444]

As long as Luna trusts you, so do I!

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

I'd bet you will never do this. I help my cousin with his 82 Chevy Pick up with new sending unit in the tank and it sucked to do. But when I put it together, I used the wax from a toilet bowl wax ring, new of course and put it all around the top of the locking ring while I was installing it and after installed. And it worked really good.

[@timcritz3194]

No issues here. If I wasn't 3000 miles from you I would fully trust you with my rides. A 95 ram pu and a 95 4 runner , no rust.

[@chuckgrenci6404]

If ever I would need to trust a mechanic....................jeeze, you'd be my number one.

[@bradforrest6624]

The Smoke doesn’t lie or the soapy water I am a dealer tech and this how you find EVAP leaks

[@donfu2795]

Hey Eric - good video - thanks for showing the busted part. On a different topic, would you be interested in putting out a video on you "favorite" aftermarket parts. E.g. sensors, brakes, bearings, etc. You don't have to bad mouth anyone, just reveal the brands that you have had good success with.

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Maybe to tight a space to accommodate a camera but I bet the monologue would have been interesting and entertaining.

[@richcrum7683]

I trust you to make informative and funny videos! 😂😂😂

[@jamescunningham3891]

I trust you Eric Ohhh!! Love from the UK. 😀

[@fallsroad]

Eric O, I hope you are staying safe up there. I see a bunch of flooding in surrounding areas, I hope you and your neighbors are all ok.

[@waffalobill]

Ppl who doubt don't live in the rust belt. Keeping brake pads freed up is a struggle. In the 40 years I been driving my own cars I only had one set of pads almost wear out. They was just about to the squealer when the rust jacked pad got spit out. Had to hit the pedal again to push the metal on metal to stop.

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Eric, "Trust Issue" resolved! Ha! Ha! Thanks for Sharing! 😦🙃🙂

[@stuartbuckley6113]

I trust you enough that if I was in your area, you would be my go-to repair/maintenance shop.

[@paulstandaert5709]

Off camera, Eric puts the old fuel pump back in and fills the valley where this crack and lock ring resides with JB weld. I would honestly be tempted to do just that myself. That way the pump is liable to last longer and maintain an accurate fuel gauge.

[@Blazer02LS]

I know of folks who have brushed off the loose rust and hosed the area down with spray sealer !!!!

[@riblets1968]

Trust issues?? Aw, man, you know we trust you! 🤞

[@privateer0561]

One of the worst things car manufacturers ever came up with is in-tank fuel pumps. The trouble and expense (not to mention the potential danger) of replacing these components compared to the externally mounted pumps of the Old Days is considerable. Why does it have to be this way?

[@Blazer02LS]

The idea isn't bad, the piss poor access to them in most applications is the bigger problem.

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

Thanks Mr O

[@spelunkerd]

Interesting to see how, even though the weak link was the steel, the plastic on the pump itself got damaged by rust jacking leading to the leak. Fortunately the tank side of that connection was still good.

[@petermccoll469]

Your diagnoses made sense, no trust issue. I wonder about stainless lock rings.

[@LadyAnuB]

Likely just as bad but slower to fully rust. The upstate NY winter road environment isn't the most conducive to metal parts on cars

[@richardthomas1743]

Hello Eric! Hello Mrs. O!

[@johnchambers12]

Thanks for sharing that find , i trust the process but had thoughts that it was the gasket or the lock ring had broken and the pump was tilting in the tank. Strange to see the cracking but it makes sense like rust jacking on brake pads!

[@tommyhawks856]

I trust you, Erik, but only when Mrs. O agrees with you. 🤣

[@Blazer02LS]

No trust issues with me. I've dealt with the same crap for years. I do enjoy someone showing just how bad the rust gets here. Now if you were Scotty it would be an entirely different story...

[@jimhaines8370]

I have had mixed results with Delphi fuel pumps used to be a quality name now so so I always hope I’m not doing another freebie 3 in a Honda for noise 3 in my own truck as the sending unit went crazy at 1/4 tank so had to special order a Bosch OE pump from there warehouse in Illinois because I got tired of putting my crew cab dually gas tank in and out. Too much China made stuff now a days just had to warranty HELLA branded pump in a Hyundai for a sender failure in 9mo’s really disappointing these days

[@Blazer02LS]

Typical these days I'm afraid. Getting to the point that even OE parts are crap. I got fed up with the parts for the wifes vehicle and hit a yard and bought 2 just to get OE parts from the same suppliers!

[@garywalstrom2603]

I trust you explicitly, only problem is I live in Minnesota. Sort of a long drive to get the car ciced.

[@941Earl]

Fuel Tank Pressure sensors fail on those habitually as well, causing false evap leak codes because the pressure sensor reads inaccurately. Usually because the owners keep pumping gas to the top of the fuel tank filler neck trying to "squeeze that even dollar amount" into every fill up.

[@kevinkoepke8311]

I had $$$ on that you wouldn't follow up. Well, by goodness you did! Way to go, Mr O! Looks like I owe Mrs O a buck.

[@lvsqcsl]

Oh for Pete's sake! Yeah right, I wouldn't trust you as far as I could throw an elephant, Eric. You really felt you had to make a short video because of "trust" issues? The people that don't trust you are probably the same people that call your shop asking why they can't view a video until after 5 p.m. on Thursdays; or whatever time. GREAT SHORT VIDEO!

[@floorpizza8074]

All those keyboard mechaniacs (not a typo) and their trust issues. I think the majority of us out here in the audience would trust a life long mechanic over a keyboard warrior any day of the week. Although I must say reading their comments is always good for a chuckle. I think you should start pinning the most awesome keyboard mechaniac comment for each video. Then we can heckle them at our leisure.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

The evidence (cracks) is there. Good one Mr. O.

[@josephchamberlain9129]

I trust you.

[@springfield4522]

Thanks for the update, but you coulda had Mrs O do the camera work while you pointed at the cracks. She doesnt mess it up..

[@bigbill709]

Thanks for the follow up no trust issues for me

[@thirdgearboogie2210]

Good Work!

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

All trust, no issues :-)

[@JackdeDuCoeur]

Nice work

[@gflores7018]

Thank you for the video Other than I trust you, Eric O

[@boogerhead0]

PA/NY/OH/IN land of the Salt vampires from Star Trek episode "The Man Trap".... cars are the vampires, sucking salt from the road, then from Eric O.

[@phooesnax]

We trust ya.

[@Buckswoodshop]

Nice Work! 👍👍

[@Kaufeetimevideo]

I Trust you man, we're cool 😎

[@philmerrifield1163]

Well that's got rid of my itchy brain thanks Mr o

[@harryl7946]

When you say ‘I know we have trust issues.” Are you speaking of you don’t trust us? 😮 cause we sure as hell trust you dude! 😂

[@billupstateny9151]

Hunter called Eric, what will become of the old fuel pump❓Hunter believes the old pump is full of CRACK💯👌

[@garycrook785]

Only in your mind.

[@cjmazdatech]

Did 2 of those last week alone on Mazda 3s. Those ones screw down and the screw heads pretty well disintegrate into oblivion.

[@mikeembrey9176]

I trust ya wish you were down here 👍🏻🇺🇲

[@williamschmitz971]

I’m gonna trust ya! Any fluid film on the new ring?

[@knowsnugget3321]

RELEASE THE CRACKEN!

[@jessejames96]

Eric, you obviously cracked the plastic fuel pump from overfilling the washer fluid reservoir 😂

[@kenyongreg]

Stainless steel lock ring?
