#mechanic #automotive #vortec Today in the shop I have a 2008 Chevrolet 2500 with the 6.0 Vortec that the customer stated has camshaft codes that will come up randomly. We had codes P0340 and P0341.
Good repair video. The busy electrical systems on automobiles today necessitate elaborate wiring harnesses; sadly most manufacturers are not putting harness construction and routing for various applications high enough on their priority list. The stuff they sell us is a ticking time bomb of electrical issues, many of them related to their harness construction, routing and poor choice of materials. There are much better conduit products readily available today, and they sorely need to use better stuff. That split loom is a joke at best, it is anything but protective.
2nd video, I am ok with the visual inspection on the harness rubbing, the larger harness there is also a problem rubbing on the ignition coil bolt on other GM products so I would have looked there also in that area BUT you mentioned a second rubbing area and we really would have loved to see that location also. You asked for feedback, you have no rhyme or reason for your video TITLE names, please choose a style and stick with it, I highly recommend this style: Chevy Silverado 2500 2008 6.0L VORTEC P0340 P0341 Camshaft Circuit, you dont need to say troubleshooting or repair, etc, as we know that is the purpose of your video, you dont need to list a spoiler alert such as rubbing harness in the same ole' place as most GMs. Imagine you or your viewers keeping your Title on your computer Hard Drive or some form of a database, we would want to store the info in a logical manner such as MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, ENGINE INFO, 4WD, CODE & DEFINITION, SYMPTOMS, ETC...... but always in a specific order, what if I want to find your video in a YT Search. The video just before this one, Uncovering Hidden Issues, I do not know what vehicle that is for or a tractor or another Diesel engine vehicle of some sort since your logo is about Diesels? We are humans, full of mistakes, your videos are named in several different ways as a faulty human would do, we as technicians need to act as robots/professionals, figure out how we wish to do that, and stick to that process EVERY TIME, no mistakes, no illogical procedures, maybe some extra steps along the way but we eventually get to the correct final outcome by following our own customized processes that can be updated based on new findings and updated procedures that we learn along the way based on a new technique or repeated mistakes. Create your own checklist, a library for each job so the next time this happens you have a process already printed out, with schematics and notes and part numbers, and connector locations, etc, no need to start from ZERO unless its the first time on this job. If Rainman Ray is your hero, well, that is ok, but you should be watching more and higher-level YT Channels. RRR is on my watch list but he falls lower and lower in my ratings as the months go by but still love the crazy personality. I will now add you to my watchlist for a few months to check you out, hope to see some great case studies along the way, As with many experienced techs, we love to see the 4S's, scope, schematics, scanner, service info, in most every video, cheers.
Thanks for the feedback! You have definitely hit on my weak point which is titles for the videos. I really in all seriousness appreciate the feedback on that part I’ve often wondered kind of what people would like to see so that’s very helpful to me. I think you will find that above all I do not like being a parts replacer to try to diagnose anything. I do need to educate myself more on using a scope and I have found that two channels that have been helping me with that is Royalty Auto Service and South Main Auto. Again thanks for the feedback!
Watch Automotive Diagnostics & Programming & Pine Hollow over Royalty which is also on my list but the owner there, the Professor is not as good as he thinks he is, at least in making videos, hehehe. These 2 channels I just gave you will up your game big time, cheers.@@hrdiesel
