This vehicle may have been here before. I don't know how a private citizen would have this as their daily driver. The PA/sirenb horn wouldn't be behind the engine on the firewall on a municipal unit. It would be out on a push bumper or behind the grille.

The pd have their own fleet techs. I worked for the motor pool in the nypd for like 10 years. That cruiser is more than likely some private law enforcement vehicle.

[@papatomsthoughts]

@@dannyr3346 depends on city and department, I am betting. Smaller cities, towns, do not have their own techs. So you never know. I have lived in US and Canada, seen both. Even here in Alberta RCMP use local shops for oil and general maintenance unless they are in major cities.

[@MrShadow-qz9xj]

@@dannyr3346 wouldn't make sense for smaller detachments/forces do have their own fleet maintenance, as they do not have a large enough fleet to make it worth hiring a full time tech. The RCMP detachment near me has a grand total of 3-4 vehicle, they have an SUV, one marked cruiser, at least one unmarked cruise, and I think they have an older cruiser they use as a spare. Other detachments are so spread out that having a central repair depot would also not be cost effective. I have no doubt large city police forces would do all their own maintenance as they would have a large enough fleet to keep one or more techs busy.

in many aspects this is just a generic fluid change but one very important thing to note, any fleet contract of this magnitude would be a sweetheart of a deal to land and an golden opportunity to expand. In return, the customer gets a fully documented service and a real time overall visual / physical safety inspection and guaranteed top performance/ emergence requirement of their vehicle, I say this in respect to..., the "CYA" criteria on their end that comes with the job, their liability insurance, internal fleet assets integrity and appraised /depreciative values. From a customers point of view, it don't get any more professional than that. It's a win/win for everyone. Ray we watched you, crawl, then walk...now it's time to fly!

Just letting you know, ‘coz you likely won’t see my post. The first print source is from the 14th century, in the Canterbury Tales. That’s before steam engines (17th century) and the first whistling tea kettle (early 1900s). So, the only steam it was originally talking about was the steam in the hot items cooking making noise as it was released. The sound was being compared to the noise made by hand held musical reed pipes (not hot).

There's a garage in my village that services the village police cars and the surrounding town ambulance. My sister took her cars there because it was close to her house. She passed away and I got her car. Shortly after it needed an inspection soI took it there. The owner calls me and says it needs front brakes. I didn't have the money and asked if they still had pad left. They are legal as long as there is pad. He said yes but I had better change them within the next few weeks. Over a month later I bought pads and rotors. Imagine my surprise when I pulled the pool ld pads and saw that they weren't even half worn out. I had the new parts and changed them so I knew where they were at condition/mileage wise. My thought is, how much is this place ripping off the village and ambulance service. Years ago we had a recall on my wife's car. When she took it to the dealerships told them to inspect it also. They called her and said the rear brakes were shot. They gave her an outrageous price and she said she knew I usually spent about $30 to buy the parts. She asked if they still pasted inspection and he claimed he asked the mechanic and again, you better get them done in a couple of weeks. A few months later I bought new pads and removed the half worn out pads. Another garage I mostly used for inspections and tires had a mechanic that fked me over on brakes. I went to get my car inspected. The mechanic said the brakes were bad which I knew they were real close. I was too busy to do them myself so I had Them do pads and rotors. I noticed the brakes were making noise and thought I was just because they were new. Two weeks later I looked at them and it was the old pads and rotors. I changed them and then took the pads to the garage and told the owner who I knew for a long time to stick them in his azz. He tried saying it must have been bad pads bla bla bla. You could tell the metal backing had been living life here in the rust belt but he claimed they were new but a bad run. It seems they are all criminals

Ray with regards to the strategy detecting Misfires, you are correct for the majority of vehicles but some vehilces like Chrysler have the ECM monitor the secondary current ramps from the coil (after the spark plug fires) and if it doesn't look right it detects "Insufficient ionization" which alerts the Chrysler dealer technicians that the Misfire is electrical in nature and not mechanical such as a valve not sealing, broken valve spring etc. A mechanical fault. Just thought I'd let you know. (My dad was a Chrysler tech for a number of years before he passed away, and a mechanic overall for 50 years). Cheers.

The OED defines it as: ''Shrill, high-pitched; whistling; having a shrill, high-pitched, or weak voice; wheezing''.

Dude...love your channel...had similar plug gap degradation on my 5.4L after only 60k miles. No one should take plugs to the 100k service interval...mine were open enough that I think they damaged the coil packs so had to replace those as well. A word of caution from an electrical engineer... Use a Q-tip on that dielectric grease and apply to the inside of the coil boot. Dielectric grease is and insulator and having it where the coil pack connects to the plug can cause misfires and other nasty uncalibrated things. You want the dielectric grease to seal between the boot and the ceramic part of the plug to avoid anything getting to the coil pack/spark plug interface.

The phrase "piping hot" is an idiom that means very hot, and originated in Middle English in the 14th century.
