The best way to make noises stop is to take it to someone so they can hear it. Every time I do that, the noises stop and the guy thinks im crazy!😂

[@myRatchets]

good one :)

[@TonyVainosky]

😂😂😂😂 so accurate though

Today's video is a great example of why I'm subbed, and have been subbed a long time. You have in-depth information to help us Diy'ers. I appreciate your teaching , tricks to locate & fix engine noises. Thank you again.

[@kimokahikolekalihi]

You can register it in some states. Washington no longer has smog testing.

[@adambennett2176]

Hey hey hey

[@myRatchets]

Do it yourselfers :)

[@Taldish]

Really appreciate your videos. You are a great teacher.

I often use a broom stick and cup my ear to it and move it around inside the engine bay. I've done this many a time and people tend to look at me rather weird but hey, it works the majority of times like no other! Hell, everybody has a broom stick!

[@myRatchets]

haha whatever works

[@joshuagibson2520]

It 107% works. Especially a nice hard wood. I can hear each one of my injectors tick. Moving across the valve cover you can isolate which cylinder is making valve noise, etc. Just as one would with a stethoscope.

[@craigtegeler4677]

You bet pal! I've used that trick ever since about 1973!@@joshuagibson2520

Do you have relatives in N.E. Penna??@@joshuagibson2520

Great video

[@JoeUrbanYYC]

Sounds like a business opportunity for someone to rebuild those air pumps

[@Jmoraa]

When you doing any C5 RS6 content?

[@dzabin]

I have a very difficult time getting mechanics to take the time to diagnose noises. I hate noises, it is the vehicle telling you something is wrong.

[@timwall6916]

I was told I need to replace my blinker fluid pump on my 2019 VW because it squeals like a pig. Do you know if it’s hard to do. The mechanic wanted $1475 plus labor. I thought that was high so I didn’t have him do it.

[@da9ej1eg99]

Na that's cheap...we charge 2200 for that repair

[@timwall6916]

@@da9ej1eg99 oh great and I thought he was trying to rip me off

[@myRatchets]

thats what you get for driving a VW :)

[@LubaLuba1]

Hi can I install external alternator regulator kit on my 2011 town and country? because my alternator stopped charging still even after installing new alternator and battery.

[@matt_b...]

That sound ... is your wallet being sucked dry. Always.

[@danielsimpson8929]

LoL I dunno about pulling the alternator fuse, 150 amp bus fuse? ZAP! LoL

[@myRatchets]

don't touch that one, the fuse for the dc voltage supplies to the alternators voltage regulator.

[@danielsimpson8929]

@myRatchets lol yeah but I don't think you mentioned the fuse for the regulator. Instantly I imagined a paste eater taking out the main bus. ZAP a spritz of burnt hair smoke and he says "vtec just kicked in yo" as he fall flat backwards. DIY at its finest

[@auginater4200]

Wait.. what? So pulling alternator fuses can kill you if you pull the wrong one and there was no disclaimer? ⚡️😭

[@danielsimpson8929]

@auginater4200 lol I dunno if it'd kill or not but can certainly arc. Typically don't manuals state to disconnect the battery before doing any work on electrical? I'd say normal spade fuses have never given me a problem. I'm talking more so the 100 to 150 amp fuse for the alternator which on some cars is like a bus bar fuse. Fuses like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2jKfp6soJKdfasfeature=shared

[@007BlackGuy]

I got a California ecu but I don’t have the smog pump is that normal I have 2 different ecus to choose from that are not California ecus

[@kaci7789]

I have a puff sound when I shut off the engine of my 2011 Chevy Silverado. It sounds like it coming from the filter box but checked the hose connections to no avail.

[@user-ml8dm9fz6l]

0:00 Does that "Hey Hey Hey" in the beginning trigger you, because it makes you sound like you did something bad as child?

[@djkramit]

👍👍👍

[@marknye51.thefixitguy]

Is there anyway to quiet the AC compressor or do I have to buy a new one. It has that whining soundike the bearing is starting to go

[@hass1337]

Buy a new one

[@chrisphoenix77]

In Indiana there is no smog emission requirement for registration, many states are like that, so just sell your car to one of those states :>

[@myRatchets]

What if I dont want to sell my car :)

[@boots7859]

@@myRatchets Lived in CA for 20 years. Gotta find a few people with the same model, and pay them a small fee to 'borrow' their air pump for a couple days to get smogged.... Maybe offer them some free repair hours in the future?

[@elijahbrooks8589]

What’s emissions

[@MDPharmD1]

I have a 1992 LS400 the alternator has a fusible link. It has to be unbolted it can’t just be unplugged.

[@myRatchets]

don't touch that one, the fuse for the dc voltage supplies to the alternators voltage regulator.

[@RickyRisnandar]

i had a whining noise that sound like a bearing noise from the alternator, it turn out i had a bad rectifier, one of the diodes was blown

[@myRatchets]

The fuse trick would have helped with that.

[@DaveSomething]

I have a 2GR-FE, it's nothing BUT NOISE!!! 😀
