Hands down the best automotive channel on KZbin.

[@micdiva]

2nd best. No one will ever beat the scotty Kilmers

[@narwhal9852]

Easy

[@philmerrifield1163]

@@micdiva dunno about that dude

[@cesaridris4884]

I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me!

[@gregoryharrington8557]

As far as I learn only better and better mechanics I see will still watch this channel

[@charliegcanadianpatriot7781]

Background noise = REAL workin' shop = AWESOME !

[@gregagnew9777]

Makes me wonder how Eric the car Guy has almost 1 million subscribers when your channel is 1 million times better. Keep up the great work!

[@scon2006]

Greg Agnew just sitting here wondering that myself, can't understand it, he seems about as genuine as Hillary Clinton, this is without doubt the best channel on any media format TVs satellite included, Doug comes across great very natural, keep up the great videos, they are really appreciated

[@Jonathan11225]

Eric the car guy has been around for a long time also the South Main auto repair channel was establish in early 2015 if i remember correctly

[@johnnicol8598]

Yes. I cringed watching Eric work. Then found this channel and haven't watched Eric since.

[@0509kj]

I think it's just the difference between production intent. ETCG has made it clear many times over he's not a live shop, it's a studio doing cars stuff. SMA is clearly different in that regard and reminds me a bit of the really old ETCG videos. Everyone matures into their own thing. With that said SMA videos are awesome and I would love watching a Doug channel on the heavy stuff. The commentary with Eric O is great too. In the meantime check out the channel of Stephen Cox, has some pretty neat heavy equipment mechanic videos.

[@7511fsm]

Same here. I used to be a huge ETCG fan but since I found this channel with Eric O., it's like watching amateur hour car repair on ETCG's channel. I do like him and appreciate what he started but Eric O. is a TRUE mechanic who can diagnose and repair a vehicle properly. His commentary is great as well.

[@CB-el3sv]

Fun fact: the term Rack comes from old Detroit engines that actually had a rack that controlled the injectors. Today you would call it overhead adjustment

[@lightningstrikestwice2935]

Spent my 43 years as a heavy duty truck mechanic. Made great money never ever work not one! Had great employers. Some of them Union some of them not. Never a dealer! All were good Union was better. Four of them were independent shops last one was a fleet shop for 10 years. That one was the best! Chased us around with a money tree. Never worked under flat rate. Lots of road service calls which I enjoyed. Of course, living in Sunny California those were pretty enjoyable. So was the money!

[@TheRooster1122]

Jump in Doug we want to see some Sonny's Service! Working on them big, big rigs!!

[@SouthMainAuto]

I keep telling him

[@gospelman7222]

Thanks a million guys for this vid: as a retired truck/fire truck mechanic it took me back to the job I just LOVED to do. Never regretted a minute of it, even tho it was hard and dirty and often cold out in the open, especially when doing vehicle recovery. Never made much money at it either, but money's not everything.

[@baxrok2.]

"She's a DOHC, but she ain't Vtec" Gotta love it. This answered several questions I had about diesels. Really enjoying these vid's Mr O. and Doug. Thanks!

[@camerontaylor8468]

[@rmiller6483]

Sweet video Eric and Doug. Doug definitely needs to start a channel with the other guys that work there as well... glad you got to spend some family time together... stay safe and have a good week...

[@SouthMainAuto]

it may not be rated G just saying haha

[@lightningsmokerXx]

Hi Eric I have 2008 Ford Focus SE - 2.0L duratec - (4spd auto ) bone stock. i bought the car new & it is now 9 years old with the original spark plugs & coils in it. The car has 34,000 US Miles / 55,000 kilometers on it and i was just wondering should i be changing those plugs based on time? Or mileage? Seems to get spot on 26mpg city as it is supposed to.

[@JerkofAllTradesTLH]

We know how you mechanics speak... we know.

[@frankenstrat25]

definitely as a guy who works on big rigs i would love to see doug make a channel. absolutely would subscribe and love every minute.

[@llloyd4]

Oh yes, my Uncle is a mechanic, there are times he could peel paint off of a battleship with his language. :D

[@lewistech186]

I'm from Portugal. Hope to see that here in the country, Then I know it travel with Doug and come right from the hometown of Eric and Doug. Thanks guys! Awesome work.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Oh that is cool, hope you see it there!

[@darkskull3883]

I´m from Portugal too, I think their going to be used in Lisbon, Portugal in river Tejo for the tourists. Keep up with the great work !

3 engine Cummins N14, Detroit S60 and Cat 3406 they were bulletproof this new EGR , new emission, DPF generation are money pit, Great video

[@maypenclock]

Niceeeee

[@Keegohockey91]

You just described any diesel truck shop perfectly, 4 air hammers smokin off in the background phone ringing. Literally my shop everyday!!!!!

[@CaptainSloose]

thanks mister O! I drive a class A for a USPS Contractor in the winter, and I never knew how they adjusted valves. in fact- one of the videos you mentioned you couldnt get parts because of a severe snow storm in Philadelphia. The reason you didnt get your parts was *ME* ... I ran the contract route from philly to rochester/buffalo at that time (All of your packages and first class from this area get sorted through rochester), And I turned around that day in the storm and didn't make another attempt for 2 more days... So- it's a small world.

[@wildbill23c]

Ahh so it is all your fault HAHA!!! Yep sometimes you just have to turn back and wait for safer travel weather. Probably a great call on your part, better safe than sorry.

[@floydallan783]

You nailed it when you said arm chair expert. It's never the operator it's always the equipment.

[@anthonysimonhough9691]

Great to see a family show a very mechanical family .

[@rickybrown4448]

The rack process has been basically the same for 35 yrs. Gotta love it

[@BassheadGTP]

I miss working on semis and heavy equipment. I remember the first in frame was a c13 Acert in a Peterbilt. And the first diesel engine I ever worked on was an old mechanical 8.3l Cummins. And yes your brother needs to start his own channel and get a camera man.

[@gac914]

Hell yes, Doug, start that channel. I'm a retired diesel and truck mechanic. This was like "old home week"!!!!!

[@cass71291]

As I did when I was overseas in Afghanistan, I watched the show religiously after my long duty day to fall asleep. And on my off days nonstop. I’m currently home back in United States on my military drill weekend, and of course before I go to sleep after a long duty day out on the shooting range... This is my go to. It was a great episode as well watching the big rigs engines get worked on. Thanks Eric. And Who knows, maybe a KZbin channel will develop out of this for Sonny’s garage. HOOAH 😎👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@rajvirgrewal4572]

One of the best video on the internet for diesel top end adjustment. Very detailed and also very easy to understand 👍

[@robertjune1221]

I grew up with 5 brothers and the brother/brother banter is great. "I'm just a little busier than Eric" Fantastic!

[@richardbambenek2601]

Cudos to your dad Sonny for not only raising two great mechanics but two men of character. You really speak to me when you show that you care to go the extra mile to do the very best you can do. Great channel. I'm hooked. Don't ask me why but I especially like when you do battle with rusted on parts.

[@saintsarecoming13]

Every once in a while I come back and watch this video because it reminds me of when I worked with my brother. Makes me miss it.

[@KilgoreUSA]

It was amazing to see your younger brother put up with your distractions. "Tune out, Tune in."

[@wyattoneable]

For a small town like Avoca you both stay real busy! This was fun. It's good to get out of the shop sometimes...and right into another. Doug, we need more carnage and colorful commentary! If you post they will come.

[@Garth2011]

There's an advantage in having a towing business, lots of the highway breakdowns that occur usually see their service department.

[@RonnyZ357]

I work in truck repair myself. Very hard to find helpful KZbin videos for trucks unlike cars or pickups. Thanks!

[@derrick8348]

Excellent job on expanding your footage outside of your own shop Mr. O. The big trucks are just as interesting as the stuff you fix (or attempt to fix). Keep up the great work!

[@Mart-u2u]

Eric runnin the rack…happy Sunday afternoon for me!

[@Rik.B]

DO IT DOUG! would love to see more. Cheers Eric for calling us Good Guys on your channel. right back at you, your videos always brighten my days and give me a smile.

[@CBphotographer]

Was shocked to see that big rig since you said you did not like working on them. Then remembered your dad's shop that your brother took over. Was cool to see

[@haroldbenton979]

I drove in 97 a very high HP Cummins powered truck. Boss had overhauled it to over 800 HP to the ground. When you can stand on the power in the high side of the transmission and you almost pick up the Right Front tire off the ground you have a beast. That truck has over 2 Million miles on her and over 1 million of them at the current settings. That old girl would out pull any engine that was painted Yellow.

[@thehappytexan]

Man that brings back memories. No vgt turbo, egr, dpf, or scr to mess with. 14 on the intake, 27 on the exhaust, 7 mm on the jakes, and two flats on the injectors. Rock and roll baby. Overhead adjustment is very similar to the N14.

[@jamesh6229]

please thank Doug for being a good sport and letting you tag along and film over his shoulder

[@garydrumm2879]

Awesome, we (the entire world) deserves, needs to see what’s behind these monsters of the road that are our “life support”. I can’t wait to see this you tube channel develop. Let Eric teach the guys how to substitute family friendly phrases and words as necessary, when things don’t go as planned. Let’s call it Vanessa’s and Trinity’s influence toward being family friendly. Gotta love it. From Texas.

im a medium duty diesel tech and your brother is a badass. i strictly stay with electrical diag and aftertreatment. hats off to the folks overhauling these engines

[@frugalprepper]

Those Cams and Scuff Marks weren't hurting anything. You just needed to go to Advance and get a new set of plugs and wires and a can of Engine Restore! Great Video Eric, It is fun to see how different and how much bigger trucks are.

[@SouthMainAuto]

These bigger engines require two cans is what I am told....

[@tartotts]

I wonder how much break clean it would require :-)

[@aussiebloke609]

Does Brake Kleen even come in a 44 gal drum?

[@SmittySmithsonite]

If it does, it will probably be illegal to possess in the Northeastern USA ...

[@JohnzCarz]

Definitely true in NY State - you would have the DEC SWAT team show up in helicopters and tanks surrounding your shop. The whole country would then be dubbed a brown zone.

[@bostedtap8399]

Great to see two very good mechanics comparing their relative skills, and engine size. Thanks for sharing both.

[@patrickbullock4571]

I have a small tip for setting lash. I use a Snap-On Torque Screwdriver set to 6 in.lbs to set the adjusting nut against the feeler gauge and tighten the lock nut. makes for a very accurate and consistent valve adjustment. Just a easy tips for people

[@edwardtabor77]

Cool seeing your brother is a heave truck mechanic. My brother is as well, Ben Tabors Truck Repair. Love to see a video on how both of you started out.

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

That is one of the best coming engines ever made and very dependable, simple basic engine

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

Been a long time I haven't seen one of those in years it's a thing of beauty

[@TheDeafMechanic]

Brings back memories when I first did a in frame rebuild on a 98 Volvo with a 60 series Detroit with close to 1 million on the clock. Truck was falling apart and the owner was a cheapskate. I had to run 12 gallons of coolant through a paint filter Because he wouldnt get new stuff. The engine was a top when we got done. Also replaced 8 drive tires. Rest of it was clapped but it ran great.

[@arnodyck]

If I can do it, you can do it. My father used to say that and that is why I subscribed. As soon as Eric said that I knew he had the right attitude.

[@josephtucci3666]

Great vid my friend. PS shop noise is just part of being in a shop don't bother me at all Best of luck guy.

[@rileypearson2332]

my dad worked for RATH trucking in sacromento california and he had this massive deep purple MACK truck and he would always brag that the motor and trans was fully stock and had over 2 half million miles on it.

[@JMassengill]

I used to work on diesels in the U.S. Air Force. Cummings and Detroit mostly and smaller Hatz. I sometimes miss working on "heavy junk" but only for a few moments at a time. Being in I.T./Networking is lots cleaner. Love your videos

[@svtirefire]

Cummins

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

"Did you pull the coil wire so it doesn't accidentally start?" Funny stuff! I ran my Cummins powered 06 Classic XL to 990k. Then left it @ Pittsburgh Power while the wife and I took 2 months vacation. While there, it got an out of frame and an uprate from 600 to 800hp. They dynoed it first and it was still in excellent condition, very little blow by etc. That's what good maintenance does. The trans, rears and front end were also gone through at the time. I basically got a brand new tractor for 1/2 the cost as well as time with the wife and family. Win/win situation!

[@kamdaddypurp69]

South Main Auto Repair is the best auto channel on youtube everytime a new video is uploaded i just get pumped up eric you are the best no reason the others should have more subs lol

[@mansonmydog]

Interesting picture of the duck boat. Here in MO. there was one that was full of tourists in Branson and sank in a storm killing all aboard.

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

Nice. I'm always interested in how things work. My father drove truck and rebuilt one engine but I was in the Army at the time. Its kind of amazing how such little things like your phone ringing will cause people to stop watching. Its like you are some production company and ma only able to do videos not realizing you have to make a living. I don't know what you make off you tube and don't care. Your experience and expertise you share in your videos are priceless to me. Maybe you should ask the one's to leave to share their videos to show you how easy a video is to make. Bet 99.9% don't. And as far as torqueing things, I know at least for me, overtime you just develop a 'feel' for things, like when I was a jeweler and could just shape bracelets and necklaces without even thinking about it. You do something a few thousand times and it tends to stick with you. Not sure about those 'duck' boats though, saw where some people died in one. Thanks for sharing.

[@thomasstreetman8066]

There was an International assembly plant just a few miles from my house here in Texas that I so wanted to tour but it is now an At Home warehouse. Back in the 80s I took a tour of the GM assembly plant in Arlington. It is fascinating how everything is coordinated. I'd love to do it again someday.

[@koffibanan3099]

Great video! We need more big diesel (or small diesel for that matter) on youtube!

[@feeneysmechanical6215]

Here's a suggestion do a video about how you and your brother's got their start in the mechanic field. Shop tour etc. What I really enjoy is your channel is becoming very universal. Not complaining at all about the car stuff. But this video was cool and the wrecker call was nice to. In fact that video refresh my memory on hooking up to a Kenworth. So thank you again.

[@mtebaldi1]

This is cool watching your old videos of diesels. Have a Chevy 95 K1500 6.5L TD. I can relate to it.

I'm a automotive technician and love the Big rig repair and like that both of you guys are in it. Yes do more .

[@williegillie5712]

I wonder what your brother was thinking when you said,”if we can do it, you can do it”. I got a small taste of what it was like working on a large diesel up in Anchorage Alaska. Got to help a guy replace sleeves and pistons in a diesel bus. Must have been a 2 stroke diesel. There were holes around the center of the sleeves. I remember a few of them coming out in two pieces. Dirty job and if you ask me I think it takes a special kinda guy to work on them heavy diesels. Enjoyed seeing how the valves, injector and jake brake adjustment are done.

[@jasonwood550]

just found your channel last week n binge watching love this video wish i could find a good diesel tech repair channel

[@stickboyST]

Love that tiny alternator sitting on that giant beast of an engine

[@martinsolis9671]

Congratulations dude you are the kind of guy with very deep roots on what a mechanic have to be

[@hansenrl]

I've helped turn enough wrenches on my Uncle's Mack, so it's nice to be able to just sit back and watch for once. Would love to see more. And yeah, torquing "to spec" is more common that many people think. My torque wrenches are some of the cleanest tools I have. LOL.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Great video Eric. Thanks for you and your brother for sharing your knowledge. Let's take it for a shimmy down the road

[@SmittySmithsonite]

DO IT DOUG! DOOOO IT!! :D I laughed at the coil comment there LOL! "You just disconnected the coil, right?" , "Yeah". HAHAHA! Some newbie engine folks may not have picked up on that one. :) This was great! First time I've seen inside one of those. I hear from my buddy who's been driving for years about in-frame rebuilds, and the removable sleeves, etc., but was nice to actually see it. Love those diesel pistons - I have a set of 6 out in front of my barn here. Came out of one of the trash trucks I used to drive years ago. Weigh about 10 lbs each! Not quite 5", so a bit smaller engine, but still huge by my standards. I've done more motorcycle and OPE engines than car engines over the years. Tiny little 1" pistons in some - some even smaller! Heavy truck valves are bigger than the whole piston/con-rod/crank assembly combined, lol. I would definitely love to see some big diesel carnage! Never seen one blow up before. I had an old P&H excavator here with a 2-stroke Detroit in it - I let my neighbor store it here while in the process of moving. Would take a shot of ether to get it started, but once running, it ran great - never been rebuilt. Thing used just as much oil as diesel, lol. Surprised it didn't run away on us. Runaways make excellent KZbin vids, HAHAHA! I think we created a brownfields site here between the leaking engine and hydraulic oil, LOL. What a BEAUTIFUL sound out of those old 2-strokes though! Nothing better.

[@jamesh6229]

[@andrewh5107]

Hi guys! I don't work on the rigs but i really enjoy watching. You are both great personalities on the camera and I would subscribe to Doug's channel in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work...good to see family together too. I understand what it takes to operate your own business. It makes for long days missing family time. Hey...grab a camera and take us along with you to New York, Doug. I think that would be neat! Anybody else agree?? Have a great week guys.

[@vidovska15]

Love big truck videos,I'm professional driver myself,been driving last 10 years and have over million miles of experience. I own a 07 Volvo 780 with volvo 16 litter engine 535 Hp. Last year Volvo in Des Moines IA did premium overhaul on my truck (turbo injectors head etc.)also engine harness,exhaust manifold,clutch,fuel filter housing,oil pump (which is not included in overhaul btw. weird? I know) and slave cylinder for transmission. Paid $34000, three years or 350K miles warranty. So for me watching you guys work on one of these things is just like watching Porn Hub. Please keep those videos comming.

[@alexandercahoulan6583]

man this video was awesome. Two brothers dominating an engine.

[@89nissancrawler]

Would love to see more of this. It's nice seeing mechanics doing things right (there's nothing wrong with German torquing most parts).

[@38911bytefree]

How insane is the big heavy duty stuff ... beatiful and on those you are not worried about the milleage, you can just put endless miles on them between repairs.

[@marklokken1378]

Did my apprenticeship with Cummins sales and service back in 76. It later became Cummins West. All those guys I worked with have passed away. They would be shocked to see what time has done to the old 855 NT engines. I got out of trucks as wages were not that great and have basically planed out. I’m in the car racket now. If I could take the best of trucks and cars. Combine them. That would be sweet. I’m close to ending the work years. Did I say I love red? Yes I do. I hated that Cummins beige

[@terpman]

Yes, Doug should absolutely start making video!

[@normanwhite7182]

Great video Eric and Doug, love watching you two work together. Yea, give us some Wayne and Curry, and keep the videos coming and I'll keep watching. You really are entertaining and educational. Now, get er done. Wait, that's somebody else, but he's good too.

[@motorsandmore990]

Theres not enough diesel and big rig mechanics on here, if Doug made a channel it would get crazy views.

[@jdclark218]

@9:14 I've always liked the go/no-go feeler gauges to set the lash.

[@krazor8]

Allot more simple than I thought... Same procedure for adjusting the valves on my predator

[@evil1656]

Only thing that grinds my gears on the Cummins are the feet that contact the valve bridge. Total pain trying to slip a feeler gauge in there when they are covered in 15w40. Great vid though, makes me glad that the QSL9 and C7, 3126 that I deal with on gensets are HEUI and dont have Jakes. They just fire up and head for 1800rpm as quick as they can. Overhead sets get done every 3000 hrs on them, and usually we are surprised if the green ones make it to 16000 before they puke a crankshaft. Now that is some carnage.....90% engine load and 1800rpm, then blammo.

[@richarddoire2872]

Doug needs to make videos at Sonny service show. Brothers always help

[@robinlox99]

Direct from Portugal bro, love the show!

[@jimzivny1554]

More trucks please, poke Doug for videos! As much as I love restoring, building and drag racing I paid the mortgage working on heavy trucks for twenty yrs and loved every minute. Good video
