This One Tool Will Make Anyone A Better Mechanic!

I assume you need some window screen to help you out too....

[@StephenCoxfixit]

I heard a secret that Nasa uses rhodenium window screen for the jet engines. Luckily my grandpa had some buried in the backyard septic tank. Tested a piece of it on my weekender and the head spun so fast it launched into the atmosphere and hit a satellite so the president called me and asked me not to use it unless an emergency. So yeah, I'm kind of a big deal!

Back in 1987 the mitchel salesman came an an offered my boss their service. Yes this is all you will ever need. I'll come in and haul all these old manuals away for you giving you so much more room. I pointed out there was not a car in the shop newer than 1982. Mitchel started at 83. I mentioned what happens if your late. Oh it cut off until you pay . I looked at my boss and said. Books dont need money to read them each month The boss bought a full set of manuals. But now in 2020 he has online info. But the cars older than 83 still fill the bays and the manuals still exist on the shelves.

[@rud2k881]

wouldnt it be wise to scan all the books and load them into their own archives on a computer? still have all the access and free up all the space?

[@waynep343]

@@rud2k881 in order to scan books.. you have to cut the pages from the bindings.. ruining the books.. i ask mitchell. if they were going to scan all their manuals.. what manuals.. when we went digital.. we threw all the old ones out in a dumpster and had them hauled away. they did not keep one copy .. i have over 200 office file boxes of manuals. that would take me forever..

wayne p it will take you a while, but gotta decide where to start

My father has a Lincoln town car with rear air bags, always have had trouble with them and finally collapsed. We put coil over shocks on it and solved the problem.

[@derrickhillier1173]

Thankyou for Your info.Always helpful for me anyways as i am starting my first term in college as 310T apprentice.

[@jhaedtler]

To make the sound better in your office for the videos, Hang carpeting on the walls. Cheaper than sound deadening material!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

All data and Mitchell 1 are both used for me and my mechanics I use both they both have information that may or may not be in the other

[@colecollins3530]

Thanks for the all dada info. I have been looking for something for my business I just started.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great informative video @Stephen Cox

[@texasjetman]

Well done. Thank you for sharing the information on the database details.

[@nashguy207]

Hope you are staying busy. Great info in the video. Show us the fix when parts come in. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. God Bless!

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

Back when I was doing rigs and trailers, my spray bottle with soapy water was my most commonly used tool lol.

[@meh-canics9628]

😆

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

There's usually a way to find the info for free. It takes longer to find and it's not easy. But if you only work on different vehicles on occasion it's better than a subscription. It's good to check forums and Google. I have been able to find 90% of what I was looking for without paying. But if I had a shop and worked on a lot of different vehicles, the subscription would be worth it

[@shrekthearcher]

Not all the Expeditions have the airbags, ours does not. We shopped for one that did not have them. The Lincoln Navigator also had airbags on some models.

[@fieldsofomagh]

Euro version not available for single vehicles.All data definitely shines, big time. Autel is pretty detailed for the price.

[@mazman117]

My shop has something called IdentiFix. It has several different kinds of wiring diagrams(Both black and white and in color) it’s so much cheaper than AllData but is much less user friendly. It requires more of a learning curve than AllData. Edit: It also has labor times, average part cost, part locations, vehicle specifications, etc... it has most of what AllData has but at a lower cost.

[@dm-zx7xb]

Neither that program or the two discussed in this video are near dealership level information but Identifix is the BEST for any shop trying to fix multiple vehicles on a budget. We have GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, and Nissan service subscriptions and factory scan tools for these listed models so I can make this statement with confidence. I've worked in lower budget shops and have used Alldata and Mitchell. The only time you really need the additional dealership level information is for electrical. I don't know how Alldata and Mitchell can get wiring colors and pinouts mixed up so bad but they deserve an award for it. Identifix will lead you right to the culprit more times than the other two programs gets their schematics right. Gotta love the community based suggestions on their program! Also, I had all the GM certifications from being factory trained and having worked in their dealerships for well over a decade. Just got tired of the dealership life and found a wonderful company to work for.

[@jakeclauson9863]

Identifix is better than all data for sure. All data is horrible

[@dheujsnrhfydhehehshshhdggsd]

Had no idea it was affordable. Thanks

[@wagil90]

were you able to find a dryer for the vehicle?

[@scottbourdon5423]

Excellent video thanks

[@Moose906]

Hi Mate, Great video full of info, Thanks. however why don't you get a jump start pack or if you are cheap like me, make one out of an old trolley two batteries and some old jump cables. You could make it in the time it took to wait for the battery to charge. You may even get to use the Everlast, or at least have something for another video.. Cheers Chris

[@johnmccanntruth]

Agree with changing both. You know that other one will blow out within a month and you’d be right back at it...

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

In not a professional but I like to sound like a professional.

[@robertnicholson771]

Similar system on the Escalade. Replaced compressor and both shocks at 100k.

[@GRNewman]

Air raising.... looks normal to me. My 1976 MCI bus does the same thing!

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

Reminded me of the old Citroen DS models.

[@leol1682]

Like the video Stephen .

[@danielrutledge9788]

LOL you said air bag and I thought you meant SRS system..for a min I was wondering what Engineer thought of that?😂😅😂🤣

[@cameronkelly8739]

I've use both all data and shop key pro at votech but very useful

[@coolHandLuke5150]

Tell chucky to make some videos

[@TejasToolMan]

Very nice! It's always hilarious to see these air bag models that arent easily fixed bouncing down the highways all over dfw, lol esp Arlington

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

great video mate 👍

[@supercomp7078]

I did not know that about orings

[@onlywenilaugh6589]

I always have a hard time finding the actual info I need on this program. Nothing like renting a digital auto repair book:(

[@tommater2724]

What lift is that and where did you buy it from What size

[@edwardmyers1746]

Lincoln navigator too

[@ooelectronoo]

Mitchell now has the same wiring schematics

[@CharlietoKind]

maybe that out of round rim on that right rear wheel might have something to do with the leaky bag

[@michaelparker9886]

I have an all data diy for all my cars super handy but my gramas buick had that air ride we ended up removing them adding regular springs too fussy

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I know how you can install apps on that autel tablet @Stephen Cox

[@jamesterrill1938]

FORD started this air bag system on Lincolns and it worked OK but in 92 they put on the big fords. THEY DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY..

[@davidsawyer1599]

South Maim Auto Eric O is able to put whats on the computer in a window on the screen. Contact him. He uses the same app.

[@nicholaslewis9037]

Yes you can tow what an F250 can with that suv

[@butchwest820]

What engine would you recommend in a F150 4x4 for towing a scamp or casita? Thank u

[@aaronhayden1780]

What year? Anything with a 5.4 is fine but they are pretty gutless.

[@abisismael1343]

Can we subscribe to All data from Africa ? Or that's only for the US ?

What happened to marks tractor?

[@mattmatney3015]

What happened to Chuckie’s new channel?

[@pacearrow4620]

Take those struts out and replace them with conventional ones!

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

The pro version you're using is 10000 times better than the DIY version. I was totally disappointed

[@Joe.G]

👍👍

[@tigwelding123]

💪👍💯

[@tropifiori]

I wish someone would start making vehicles with mid 60s technology. No servos, potentiometers, computers , self parking, side sensors, back up cameras, electric door locks , seats etc. Put leather interior and nice finish. They would be at least 30% cheaper. I bet they would sell like hot cakes. Things have gotten pure ridiculous. They couldn’t use heavier coil/ leaf springs in this truck- they had to do this silly pneumatic system? Too much technology and maybe it just isn’t worth it!

[@iamasmurf1122]

The computers in cars are a lot better to have than old systems in cars , and as for AIR BAGS they are actually able to handle much more weight or load in the vehicle than leaf springs ! Airbags are not just for a look they do have a function

[@tropifiori]

Michael Wilson I wouldn’t complain about airbags

[@donald1056]

Doesn't cost that much either that I know of

[@gabewhisen3446]

I replace those air springs with traditional strutts and no codes no warnings or lights set on the dash and nothing special needs to be done, and your customer will love the ride comfort its literally no different accept the price of maintenance and the parts are so much cheaper once one bag goes the air system will domino into oblivion

[@AndyEffertz]

I did a set with coil overs and they are so noisy

[@TotoGuy-Original]

there is only 1 tool i consider makes you a better mechanic and t hat is a 2ft 1/2" power bar.

[@meh-canics9628]

Lower the front, problem solved 😆

[@laloca4040]

And lincon navegator

[@pacearrow4620]

shit I thought I was going to see tool

[@DependableAutoTruck]

there is a kit to eliminate those

[@StephenCoxfixit]

I saw that but I love the ride quality of the airbags. Its a night and day difference to me!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

@@StephenCoxfixit you are correct I live in southeast alabama most here just worry about price not ride. Enjoy your channel

[@georgecurtis6463]

Most important ? Your brain. Sadly lacking in most people.

[@jakeclauson9863]

All data is fucking junk. And the one way to know that is to know autozone owns it. We have all data at my work and 30-40% of the time it gives you no information, absolute trash. Identifix has way better wiring diagrams and service info.. You can highlight each individual wire and many other functions. All data is the absolute worst!
