Brandon is such a talented educator, I can't recommend him enough!

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Thank you, I appreciate the support, Mike 👍

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

The moment I thought that you couldn't outdo yourself with the suburban video, you drop this video! You two did an amazing job! I also took a Brandon Steckler class at vision. For anyone interested in this type of testing FIND A WAY to take Brandon's class!

[@brandonsteckler3417]

Thank you so much for the support 👍

[@frankdaniels4364]

I took that class too. What a great presentation.

[@NewLevelAuto]

Ahhh there’s gonna be a great video right here . Fine I’ll pull over and watch 🤓

Max L. , although Mario is a KZbin sensation, both He and I are professional automotive technicians. Both train frequently in an effort to master the techniques required to properly analyze and diagnose today’s vehicle technologies

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

I'll admit, next to Brandon, I am a shade tree mechanic lol thanks for watching buddy

[@jimmorton3009]

GREAT Video with a PERFECT example of using the "P"s and the "G"s in a clear cut diagnostic procedure. The GENERAL testing will get you into the correct FUNNEL of where the problem is , then the PINPOINT testing will have you driving down the funnel to the actual cause of the vehicle's problem. Just keep in mind that everyone's diagnostic procedure doesn't have to be the same, whatever seems to work for YOU is always the best plan. I've been known to have students assemble a jigsaw puzzle in the beginning of a training session and as you suspect, not everyone would assemble the puzzle the same exact way. Some might put all of the edge pieces together first and someone else might start with a section of some scenery first, but as long as the puzzle is completed, the task is done. Same with diagnostic procedures, as long as the concern and the "Root Cause" of the concern is found, the diagnostic procedure is Good. I tip my lab Scopes to BOTH Mario Rojas and Brandon Steckler for a GREAT diagnostic session.

[@brandonsteckler3417]

I can’t think of a better analogy to make your point, Jim👍

[@michaelnicholson9092]

Good job Mario and thank you Brandon for giving some more of your time. You both rocked this one

[@brandonsteckler3417]

[@bartscave]

I am surprised there isn't more disturbance in the intake manifold pressure pulse from a leaking valve. I would have expected a rise in the pressure pulse as well as the lower pull.

[@autotechtogo6290]

Same here. I would of had to go in-cylinder to be sure.

[@w0070152]

Question for you guys. I am new to the first look sensor testing. Are you saying when you are putting the puzzle pieces together, the inlet valve of cylinder 2 is leaking the cranking expanding “power stroke” into the inlet manifold? If so why doesn’t the compression from cylinder 2 show a leaking inlet valve before the piston starts dropping?

[@yemiasaolu1622]

Can't stop watching this short power packed short vid every time . This two giants have influenced my diagnostics skills tremendously , thanks Guys. Love from Africa ❤️

[@stephenmarshall5302]

I have that chart used in the video but didn't know how to use it so thanks for that, everything spoke about in this video was interesting and usable. very worth while video and I'm looking forward to seeing Brandon in Scotland very soon.

Mario Rojas and Brandon Steckler team up for the buddy diagnostician video of the year. Get caught up in the story of a bad attitude Jeep who thinks he can hold out under interrogation, until Mario and Brandon walk into the bay. A mechanical interrogation that is not to be missed👨‍🔧👨‍🔬. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes give it a 15 out of 10. The diagnostic cinema event of the year....

Good in depth analysis

[@billyjames2493]

Back in 2016 i bought a nice silver 04 Grand Cherokee Rocky Mountain Edition with the same i6 engine BECAUSE ive seen so many of those motors rocking 300k+ miles.. and for $1600 bought mine running rough with 105k miles (figured that meant AT LEAST another 100k miles of life left). The VERY first thing i did was check compression of each cylinder as i changed the spark plugs since some kid who barely maintained it drove drove it as his daily, but only very short rides for about 18k miles in 3 years. (Carfax had the entire service info) The Jeep was owned by his father previously and it spent most of its life living in snowy Michigan but to my surprise had VERY little rust, so i figured the low miles made up for it.. AND THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN... LUCKILLY it was not my daily driver, but i was only able to put 10k miles in 2 years due to the back to back problems keeping off the road.. from a.c compressor, to valve cover gasket, entire front end (after 2 inch lift, new brakes, and new Cooper A/T tires), but the original springs and shocks held up from the life of gentle city driving. THEN the radiator went (smelled it when it happened and was parked, so no overeating), AND both the mechanical and electrical fans all went bad, and i also changed the condenser since transmission cooler was built within that rather than in the radiator (I thought that was weird but the transmission shifted 100% and stayed cool with the new condenser and fluid flush). BUT in all honesty, i would get another older Jeep, and would recommend them to only those mechanically inclined, esp if you want to learn advanced diagnosis, since its one of the least difficult vehicles overall to repair/upgrade when doing it all yourself..

[@billyyoder8171]

Hi Mario and Brandon. Watched the video a few times over the past year. At around 19:58 the piston position overlay lined up with the weak intake pull for cylinder 5. The relative compression shows cylinder 2 issue. Concern is interpreting this correctly. Is cylinder 5 intake pull less because of cylinder 2 not producing proper power. Resulting in the crankshaft slowing down and causing cylinder 5 to have less pull on its intake stroke? Thank you. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your families.

[@ntd11182]

Weak pulse on the #5 is cause by exhaust valve on #2 not fully closed
