hahaha

they should put him on a commercial of auto zone lol

If you cant sponsor or donate he have right to earn anything possible way, so that he can help other people.

I didn’t know god changes light bulbs

[@machoprieto5763]

Why would they sponsor when he’s already giving them constant free promo?

[@JamieBainbridge]

It was said on another video, but for the love of God please don't get under a car supported by only a jack! They can collapse in a second and pin you under. The car should be resting on jack stands before you put any body part under it. Using a jack works... right up until the second it doesn't, then you're lucky to escape with your life. Please be safe Ernest 🙏

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Imagine if AutoZone were to create a new program, and hired Mechanics like Ernest, in an AZ uniform/ID badge, decaled van, tools, chemicals, etc. and mostly use AZ parts- and AZ dispatches them out. You know Ernest would be UT first hire! Young, decent person, educated, bilingual, already good Mechanic.

@@scottysecretlyloveschrysle1417 Aw now, c'mon man! Hey- are you Native American? I'm second gen Irish/German, I'm an American, but my Family wasn't; they were Immigrants. I know what you mean, though. Nobody catered to Immigrants back then. You learned English, worked at what you could find, and the Government gave you zero. Nowadays- every product has a English/Spanish label. Subsidized Government programs, incentives to come here. Jobs handed out. But remember- most are good, decent people, just looking for a better life, just like our Families once did. Sure, there are bad mixed in- same everywhere.

Helping people at an auto parts store is a great way to gain new customers. 😁

[@mrtenn1]

The reason you don't touch , halogen light bulbs, on the glass part is because the oils on your skin could cause the glass to break/shatter/explode with the high heat the bulb produces. Just make sure to wipe them with a cloth if you happen to touch it. Great videos, glad I found you.

[@eduardomenchaca1916]

Learned this the hard way when my Tahoe burnt through 4 bulbs in under a year

[@lostintime8651]

I suggested to my local Advanced that they should put a mirror on their building so people can check their lights and change them. It went nowhere. But still a great store and Steve the manager is always good to me.

Hey never connect the minus at the battery first. u can have a short circuit if a tool sudenly hit the plus and the frame from the car. If u connect plus first and a tool suddenly connect plus with the frame nothing happens...hope u understand me

[@vinparaffin6082]

Never mind the light bulbs, look at those battery terminals, you're losing your touch Ernest! Update........just watched the rest of the video, and you came good on the second car!

[@martinsheanon3232]

a 6-8 in fuel pipe fit tightly over the spark plug is a must removing and installing spark plus general you can screw in 3-4 full turns at any angle knowing your plugs ant cross threaded saves dropping a plug down the plug whole and bending the tip removal great as its just a matter of slipping on the plug an undoing and lifting especially if you were not going to replace

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Next time you get a "dirty" battery like that one- before cleaning, use your DVM, set to millivolts, and poke one terminal, then the other probe in the "dirt". You will see a "surface voltage". That is boiled away electrolyte, hydrogen sulfide gas deposits, from an overly charging alternator. "Maintenance Free" caps battery caps tend to get clogged with electrolyte; the normal production of hydrogen sulfide gas percolates this trapped liquid through the vents, spilling it on the batterie's surface. If this is happening, carefully pry off caps & rinse out electrolyte, then replace. *CAUTION: ELECTROLYTE IS CORROSIVE AND WILL BURN* If you defeat a label or crack something- the warranty may be voided. Correct additives are found at Amazon, just search "battery fluid". That's why you see older cars, around the battery the metal is all rotted- hydrogen sulfide is highly corrosive. AGM is all I use.

[@robbybuzen2155]

I wouldn't recommend opening and adding fluid to a battery. It will void the warranty. Working 4 years w/ advance auto parts, generally when someone has tried to add distilled water, the battery comes back bad.

[@dylanmilliron7478]

[@Matt-wl3jo]

Earnest, I saw you using needle nose pliers for those spark plugs. My dad has a tool which looks like a screwdriver handle, with a flexible shaft, and the end looks like a spark plug boot. It's meant from grabbing deep in those coil-on-plug holes. Next time I'm at his house I'll comment the brand and number of the tool so you can get one- I think they are a necessity for odd sized spark plugs

[@brandonshea951]

You can also your the spark plug boot that comes on the vehicle that you know reaches the plug

I loved your ideas and kindness helping people at parking lot at Autozon, I wish I have some people like you in Texas so I can ask and get help from real mechanic like you.

[@SVXistance]

For technical functioning it does not matter in which order you connect them. However for safety reasons it does matter. The whole body of the car is usually connected to the minus pole. And you can accidentally hit that body with the positive lead. So connecting the lead first is safer. Recap: Negative pole first: Whole car (except a few parts like the positive pole) are connected. Any mistake with the other lead will lead to a short. And car batteries are very good* at shorts. You really do not want this. Positive pole first: Only a small part of the car is now connected to power. If you mess up by touching the car with the other lead nothing will happen. Lastly: This might also be a habits for people who deal with electronics. Ground goes first. Always.

[@rickuyeda4818]

Do you ever work on classic cars? No computers so you have to go old school. I removed the 454 in my old '68 Corvette. Rebuild it and re-installed. Same with my '69 Chevy C30. I swapped out the 327 with a 350 I had rebuilt and replaced the clutch. In LA County, it's illegal to work on a vehicle on a public street.

Sylvania Silverstars on a vehicle with completely clouded up headlight housings? Plus those Silverstar bulbs tend to burn out sooner than standard standard bulbs.

Those tires are a bit bald lol... No judgement Honda owner.. I've seen the cords on my tires before.

[@jptrainor]

You won't experience any resistance using dielectric grease. It gets squeezed out where and there is metal on metal contact. Where there isn't contact it fills the gaps and inhibits corrosion that will turn into a problem if not inhibited. It does that without risk of inadvertently completing a circuit if it were to ooze into the wrong place.

[@danlevesque5437]

What's your fine line between deciding on extras that the factory didn't use I I cringing hearing that spark plug being removed I usually would add a tiny mist of anti seize so I stand a chance in the future if I get the job again and its even worse next time

i would carry around a moving blanket or somethinf to put down when changing oil that way you dont make a mess in peoples driveway. but good video

[@andretigiovaneti7587]

I had great pleasure helping people with mechanical issues in their cars but also felt guilty when I couldn't help , I used to tell people If I have the knowledge there's is no reason to charge for mechanic work since I had a different profession where I made my living. I would tell them get a quote and if you want to do it your self I can help you. It is hard to explain but I had to stop because I started to feel guilty and sad about hearing people even having to pay for parts. Last one was a car on limp mode due to bad selenoid pack in the transmission , transmission shop quoted $1200 we replaced the selenoid pack but it will have to take it to dealer to flash the pcm and relearned the shifting for $150 I felt so bad the lady had to pay for that and that I could not do it all even though the savings where great by us doing it, that's when I realized it was affecting me. Hard to understand but that's how I felt.

[@aleortiz1400]

Aren't you suppose to connect the positive first, then negative.? When battery has been desconneted from both terminals?🤷‍♂️

[@mattvoelker8145]

Noticed you disconnected the battery , did you have to input the radio code afterwards? Also I work at a parts store & the headlamp situation that you encountered today happens everyday Customer comes in asks forow beams we sell them the low beam , comes back HH later & claims they are wrong ! We go out to check & find out the customer was pulling out the high beams beacuse those are the easiest to get too lol

[@pospc2]

Have you diagnosed the truck of yours at all? Also you can use the a length of hose that will fit on the tip of the spark plug. You can even start to turn it in with it. If it's starting to cross it won't go in any farther. I use 3/8 hose for this job.

Hi

[@aBMWEnthusiast]

I imagine you do a lot off-camera, but I wonder if you checked the coolant level, transmission fluid level, topped off the washer fluid, and checked the lights. It seems the things I mentioned would be essential checks before making a road trip. Additionally, why did you not check the battery fluid level after determining it had been leaking? It was not a sealed battery and may have been low or empty. Thanks for the amazing content! I enjoy your videos and have been binge-watching them.

[@RoadsideRescue]

Yeah good question. I don’t mess with battery’s. (Just the fluid/water)?as for the rest I did check them. Your right sometimes I just don’t realize I did stuff without sharing.

[@RoadsideRescue]

Also I never have washer fluid on hand? Idk why? I should!

@@RoadsideRescue Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I believe battery fluid/water level is essential in preventing dead battery cells. Thanks again for keeping your interested viewers entertained during the pandemic.
