Scope Basics,Importance of Grounds, Triggers and Piercing vs Back Probing

[@SurferJoe46]

I tend to NOT pierce, but you make a very valid point about disturbing the pin and accidentally repairing the problem. This is a shop-cred problem and I see it more than a few times a year as I get to re-troubleshoot someone else's accidental repairs that fail again, down the road. Your logic is good and I just lost a piece of my religion - but I can always learn.

You should have a patreon for more throughall videos, you would make an excellent teacher... I'm very hard at learning and you teach good. To put it in laymens terms =p Thanks for all the work you do for the new guys in the industry!

Great video thanks brother. We always pinned the wire then liquid tape when done. The best ground problem I ever saw was on a series 60 Detroit. The computer was doing some hit and miss or nothing. I found the main engine ground wire so corroded it was junk. I removed it cleaned up the surface and put a new one on. Back then they was exposed to everything I think they still are just thought it was odd. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

I've been reluctant to pierce.. but those are some good points!

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Good set of ground rules, get it? The only issue I have with wire piercing is using the wrong size piercer, or a dull one. I've seen some serious damage done to the wiring if it's over pierced(especially with a dull piercer). Also a dull one will damage the wiring as well, so use the right depth and keep on eye on the piercer, to avoid doing damage 👍

Good video. I'm waiting to see if Daniel Sullivan comes on to rant that piercing wires is vandalism. As you said, in the real world you need a reliable way to look at what's happening. Again, great video. 👍

[@blackbambinoe]

Loving your videos. Not as in depth as the other guys but enough for us to get the idea how this thing works to our advantage.

[@kunkle76]

[@stevepoe9079]

[@stealthflythecoop6819]

My automotive teacher love the picoscope he uses AES wave back probes

[@brianmason1414]

Your vids always get a thumbs up bud....I'm still learning the 4channel Pico I have access to at the shop (I'm pretty much the only one using it on a daily basis)...but trying to save to update my Snappy Solus for trade in to get a better scanner/scope of my own.... thanks so much!

[@gatekeeperofchaos]

Great video sir! Keep'm coming.

[@greysol_jiggin]

I'm getting a hantek 1008C for Christmas 🙃, just wondering if you've ever used it. I'm green, kinda broke, and they're cheap. Thanks for the scope videos.

[@flatratemaster]

Any scope is better than no scope,software is clunky but good option for a cheap scope

[@ozzstars_cars]

I watched the entire Maaco preview ad.

[@frugalprepper]

Mechanics, we spend half our lives trying to find the hole and the other half trying ot figure out how far to shove it in.

[@willyqueen4066]

Thanks good video I learned something new

[@charliemagoo7943]

Several years ago i ran out of liquid tape. Went to tire room and grabbed a can of tire repair sealant. Tire repair sealant is all i use any more. Just wear gloves cause that stuff is stickier than crazy glue on skin and wires

[@vegancyclist8853]

Are there brands of seal or gasket you avoid? and thoughts on Fram filters? what do you think?

[@flatratemaster]

I avoid Felpro, and i do not use fram, for my vehicles,OEM, Hengst- OEM maker for many cartridge style filters or MANN

[@vegancyclist8853]

Flat Rate Master Fel-pro? i never knew about them. Thanks.

[@Johnkb2059]

Dan Sullivan's going to be very upset for you piercing those wires

[@newageautomotive5571]

Snap on has the auto trigger to

[@kellymcandrews537]

[@8power0]

Good try and thanks for the video .

[@Abcd-hr9ot]

U wver work on old motorbikes mate?

[@flatratemaster]

[@montestu5502]

I was triggered by your probing comments!

[@Ken-wu6hr]

Mike I'm TRIGGERED now

[@memopat1]

Keybword :real world In class both t pin's ,back probing,piercing all no,no's But in the real world it all about what gets it done

[@derekdlick2516]

I'm a piercer. Go cry about. I've fixed enough cars right to get into heaven.

[@johnswilley6764]

Great explanation, thank you Sir.
