Teslong borescope: amzn.to/3Cm4efg Thanks for the sponsor! Thats what makes these videos possible! *** I know I'm having some mic issues. Im saving up for a Bluetooth mic to get a nice quiet background and good quality audio.
Hey man, I’m totally onboard with you doing more vids, you always are honest and you don’t hide the reality of what really happens in the field. Thanks Bud!
I see you got fiber cut off disks. Something that I’ve used that has been amazing are the metal, diamond blade cut off wheels. Usable for tons of cuts and no shattering
Do they just become smooth with no teeth once dead? I've seen loads of them over the years but always been scared of one shattering. I've even seen wood blades for angle grinders! No thanks
Those Teslongs are the real deal btw. As a professional mechanic, I traded my shit 600 dollar snap on borescope for that $100 Teslong and MAN -- what a difference in clarity/rigidty. Great tool, especially for the price.
I just bought a Depstech bore scope, so far, it's been great. Dual camera, dual screen, takes still pics, video recording, was only about $120 on Amazon
Another great video! Good job, and I hope the motor doesn't burn out on the electric toy car! You should do a tutorial on that. I'd love to do it for my niece/nephews!
Is there a Municipal Dump in your area? Go look for a dead kid car or truck like what you have. Saws-all it, make a "trailer" o to behind. Carry extra batteries, refreshments, etc.
Yo dude, nice to see you still working hard and ur not so consumed with work you still have quality time with your family bro.. The place you guys live looks beautiful, is it Utah? 👍
I play Disc Golf also. Took it back up this last fall. Last time I plated consistently was 1991-1993. Great guy, family, and automotive videos. I've enjoyed seeing the channel and your family grow since early on.
I believe they make a aftermarket control box for those power wheels so you can adjust the power when you use power tool batteries. Either way great video!
I am glad I moved out of Illinois. I feel you with those rusty seized bolts. Not that east coast is any better but Chicago cars were just a mess. Good job man.
Man I got a real shop when I hear the costumer has been working on it I tell them up front tow it to me if I see you made a huge mess I will simply deny repair I do try my best but I don’t Waste a lot it time I had one customer show up needing heel bearings it showed up on a tow Trudk eith the steering knuckles damaged I Said no man I’ll get you some used parts or not messing with it they did that’s too expensive I said call ur toe truck that’s why I respect you
Had a customer that would always have us (the shop) diagnose something, then he go home to fix it himself.... irritated the hell out of me. Anyway, told him he needed either a heater core or evaporator (don't remember which), he takes it home, 3 days later (it's a Chevy cobalt or similar) tows it back in w the steering column 1/2 way out the dash in pieces, he's taken tons of stuff apart he didn't need to, asking us to finish the job, ofoh, and all the screws,bolts, etc just thrown in a box....AND THEN gets mad because we're charging him full boat labor plus some to do it. Some people....
Damn the alternator from hell I would have had to toss in the towel I can't do heat and sweat and noise and getting my arms scrapped up on wire brackets and clips I would have been so angry and people never seen to understand that and don't pay way more than they think they should for a job like that so now I know to avoid this specific kind of vehicle but you Ernst have way more mental stability and patience than I do so job well done 👍
I'm curious how owning a mobile mechanic business compares to an independent shop (I assume you own this business as well as being the mechanic). Having to go in blind to a problem requires a far higher level of problem solving skills and unusual ability to stay calm during a stressful situation. You also must deal directly with customers which is a completely different skill set from being an auto mechanic. Lastly you must have the skills to run a business AND run successful marketing, or offload those jobs to your spouse or a business partner. Only individuals with a high IQ and a highly flexible personality can pull this off. If you are JUST a very good auto mechanic then failure is pretty much guaranteed. I'd love to see a separate channel or blog series about everything not related to turning a wrench because that is what makes you special and is your competitive advantage.
could you make a video of how you started out i was into mechanics and good at it but hated working for someone else i have my own tools and a truck just need help getting started and tips
It's a pita to get started cause you'll discover some people Will lie about being able to pay only so much or give a story or helicopter over you as you work so you'll need to have the mental stability and patience before anything else happens
I feel the ryobi pblrc25 extended reach ratchet and one of those extractor bolt biters would have done the trick with an adapter between the two obv. I love my ryobi 3/8” extended reach ratchet. Gives around 70 lbs/ft of torque easily. Then I have the p263 1/2” impact which puts the 850 dollar snap on mid torque impact to shame. Did you hammer the bolt extractor onto the bolt? Because you really have to pound them on for them to be effective.
It needs to be fixed it's a big job to get a engine light that repaired if I had to replace my 4.2 L V6 Essex engine on my 98 Ford e250 it would take at least 3 days to do it non stop
Hey, I had got a new serpentine belt and tensioner after I had switched the belt and had to replace the pulley after, when u put the new belt and tensioner and out it all together it’s quiet on start but squeaks when I pick up speed. Could it be a dry new belt (dirt/ dust) was everywhere or could it be a bad idler pulley
