I BROKE my FERRARI 458 AGAIN!

[@freddaniali]

That plug of ASH! So precious with his cute little smile!!!! It made my day!

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha his smile is the best

[@opethmike]

I'm a C5 Corvette guy; I am waaaaayyyyy in the same boat of loose ground wires with you, friend. Hope I get to meet you some day, you seem like a super solid dude.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah, any modern car with a can bus can really get shitty when grounds are no good. It sucks. Happened to Meg's Mini when we first bought it. The car claimed all sorts of crazy errors and wouldn't even start! Towed it to the dealership since it was under warranty, and they found a loose ground. Nuts!

[@opethmike]

@@normalguysupercar Ooof, glad they figured it out and under warranty!

[@benzina5917]

If you haven't done the front spoilers yet it is 100% a front bumper removal job which also includes removing the front trunk liner. Nothing difficult but a LOT of process to do. Just an FYI

[@normalguysupercar]

I've already done mine and Richards... Also you don't have to remove the tub. :)

[@bluesguitar1973]

That is the reason you get the 1/18 scale version. You never have problems with those.

[@normalguysupercar]

LOL true.

[@badcarrera]

No way I would have figured that out, Pretty Impressive Dan!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks!

[@jagpimp7322]

I know the feeling,whenever I bring my 430 in for service,the mechanic aways tells me"you wont believe all the error codes I got" Good luck Dan,enjoy your Sunday.

[@normalguysupercar]

Very true

[@Brooks22n]

That Legendary Ferrari Reliability 🤫

[@normalguysupercar]

Well to be fair this was my fault

[@charlieryan1736]

Glad you found a quick fix 👍🏻 nice job

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks 👍

[@dzikijohnny]

And that’s why Meg thinks the experience should be over. That has to be a meme you put into videos.

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol

[@F355bob]

After I had the F355 engine rebuilt, we could not get the engine started. It would only run on one bank. The mechanic took two full days checking everything, from map sensors for crank sensors, computers etc. I told him could it be a ground since these cars are very sensitive to bad grounds. He swore, he checked all the grounds and it could not be that. I told him to check the ground that goes to the head and very hard to see. He retightened the ground and the car started right up. Grounds on Ferraris are crucial

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup! That's what happened to us on Tim's 348.

[@freddaniali]

Grounds are crucial for most any car. A lot of folks don't realize that.

[@GRACEORT]

I bet your ringer was twitching for a while. Glad you got it sorted in the end 👍🏻

[@normalguysupercar]

haha yes

[@shovel_head80]

Morning Dan and crew, electronic gremlins

[@normalguysupercar]

Ha! Stupid gremlins. I must have watered the 458 after midnight again.

[@tacticalofficer6103]

Dan the kid looks just like you !!!!!

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha.. thanks!

[@ryanyoshimura]

The entire time you’re talking all I can think about is how shiny your car is

[@normalguysupercar]

Well thank you! The 10mil Xpel Ultra certainly makes it look impressive. :)

[@yodaisgod2]

Italian car with fragile electrical system? I’m shocked!

[@normalguysupercar]

That was a solid pun.

[@dennis1730]

Dan how many miles are on the car? I have the same year model with about 50,000 kms or 31,000 miles and I think I should be taking a look at my intake valves as well

[@normalguysupercar]

I had 40K+

[@ndpesicgroup]

Great tip !!! Thank you !!!

[@normalguysupercar]

Anytime

[@fredbobberts5753]

Ferrari ground bolt torque spec from Dan: 240 pound feet (Just kidding my guess is like 15-18)

[@normalguysupercar]

That's about 4 ugga duggas.

[@troystcyr3771]

Honestly the Ferrari Getrag DCT ruined all their cars till about 2017 when Getrag seemed to finally make it right.

[@normalguysupercar]

Eh I would disagree

[@freddaniali]

Troy, trust me when I say that the 458 transmission shift points are in some ways better than the F8!

[@troystcyr3771]

@@normalguysupercar I duno, I've read too many horror stories now on Ferrari chat of the DCT going bad from 2008-2016. That 40k repair bill really Isn't something that most ppl could stomach.

[@troystcyr3771]

@@freddaniali reliability wise wise though, that DCT is probably alot more worked out.

[@freddaniali]

@@troystcyr3771 I honestly don't know... but the 458's transmission is still pretty good...

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

And I think about my WW2 Jeep. It's a 6 volt system and there are grounds all over.

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh man... The only thing would be it doesn't have all the super sensitive computers...

[@PixelVogue]

2:38 let me just submit all these in the website...all unique.......stack them codes up bitches! LOL!

[@justicepool]

You need to take more date nights to keep you grounded Dan! ;^)

[@normalguysupercar]

I know!

[@brentkolar3075]

Good morning Dan

[@normalguysupercar]

Morning!

[@randyle4520]

Its just like the fire Bugatti n fire senna

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@Engineer_with_cars]

Where can I get more information about the Launch X431? Thank you.

[@normalguysupercar]

They are on Amazon.

[@kottuning3294]

Hey Dan. Im looking at either Launch or Autel for my 458. Anyone you recommend over the other?

[@normalguysupercar]

I haven't personally used the Autel but I've heard it's good as well. So I would go with either.

[@johnpuhy9765]

What's with the captioning? Is this a new normal?

[@normalguysupercar]

Are you talking about the closed captioning? I always try to publish the automatic CC. Sometimes KZbin screws up and it won't let me but otherwise I do.

[@dm8520]

Another entry

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@ggusta1]

Stop me if you heard this before... I broke my Ferrari again. A broken Ferrari? Really?

[@normalguysupercar]

Well to be fair, I haven't had this Ferrari break much at all... And it's mostly been from my mistakes.

[@Fulloctanegarage]

1st!
