My son is a plumber, Eric. So when he first started out in "The Business" I asked him the question everyone asks a plumber. "How do you stand the smell?" His immediate response was: "It smells like money to me!" With a big grin on his face. So, Eric, I notice your sounds there in the shop and fully understand that: "They sound like money to you." Kudos on taking time to explain things in stress filled, frustrating, situations without lacing your vocabulary with profanity. It takes time to set up cameras, be mindful of lighting or camera angles and still maintain a business. I commend you on your craftsmanship, grammar and a happy wife with a cheery little girl running around. I love it!

Hey Eric, another great video! Never run into that cam/crank code before, so thanks for walking us through that procedure. Don't apologize for throwing that O2 sensor in there! A super quick check you could have done to confirm the O2 circuit wiring (I think ScannerDanner calls it the signal circuit integrity test) while you were under the truck, was touch the test light (connected to B+) to the signal wire going to the PCM with KOEO. If the scan tool shows a high signal (like >1000mV), the wire is good, and you can feel 100% confident to replace the sensor :) As for powering your VERUS, I checked the actual voltage output of the factory Snap On charger vs. the Rockford jump pack. The factory charger says 17V, actual is 19V. Rockford says 19V, actual is 21V. So a 2V difference is there, but that is well within the engineers' margin of safety so I would say it's not a big deal.
@SouthMainAuto9 жыл бұрын
Good to know about the rockford thanks, ya know I should have just created an open circuit to see it the 02 jumped to the .450v mark then just simply grounded the signal wire and see it drop to zero. "Quick and Dirty" I was 98% certain we were on the right path though :) Hind sight is always 20/20 right?
@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics9 жыл бұрын
Oh yeah take advantage of the bias voltage if it's there! I'm surprised the truck didn't peg the fuel trims rich in trying to compensate for the stuck-lean O2 sensor on Bank 2...does the downstream affect fuel trims as well? In any case, even if the code itself was misleading, GM's back-up strategy seems more robust than some other manufacturers...

Another enlightening video - thanks! It's great to hear your thinking as you go along and especially to learn the story behind why codes are sometimes somewhat misleading until you know the theory of operation behind how they set. The somewhat different approaches and drivers behind them that Scanner Danner and you use complement each other for your subscribers. Both are Real Life but your professional lives are interesting in different ways. When I first started watching I considered sending you a new hat until I looked them up and found out that they come worn out looking as new. I knew blue jeans were sometimes "distressed" to give an old worn look but never dreamed that country boys would go for that fashion. "Got all the good outa that" used to mean honest wear, not somebody in a factory hitting on the product with a disc grinder! Just kidding, of course, your channel is great - it's good to see you enjoy sharing your work.

I see you only had 2,000 subscribers when you made this video. At time of writing you have 260,000. That's some good growth there. LOL at the person who didn't like hearing your doorbell and phone. I hardly notice it. I'm too concentrated on what you're doing and saying and trying to absorb and understand all that invaluable information you're providing.
