@@kariu. I didn't buy it......the owner did......from Rockauto I believe.......and if I remember correctly......the new radiator cap that he also ordered for it didn't fit it....... I show it and talk about it in one of my other videos.....

@@I_Am_Your_Problem Thank you for the input and honesty. This occurred in Texas.....in a very corrupt county (but of course, there are no righteous, just ones)....... I have researched some of the DWI/DUI, and impound/towing statutes/codes......as well as some of the documents/forms I was given when released from jail.....and that had been mailed to me while I was in jail.... I do believe I was denied 'due process' of 'law' while in jail....and at my court appearance.....and that my vehicle and property were 'illegally' sold.....and likely 'illegally' and 'unconstitutionally' siezed and impounded......but honestly thought it might be a lost cause to try to do anything about it all.....or a very difficult or fruitless battle to fight.....and am not even sure where to begin to try to fight it...... I don't have any trust in most lawyers or attorneys....and couldn't afford one if I wanted to.....but am not sure how to try to fight this on my own other than filing claims or suits against the individuals or corporations involved......which honestly I don't even know how to begin that process either.....or what to do or how to begin any kind of claim or process against anyone involved...... But do believe my 'rights' were violated, and my vehicle and property were 'illegally' and 'unconstitutionally' siezed and sold....... I don't agree that 'drinking' produces no benefits......drinking in modest or smaller amounts has been scientifically proven to have health benefits.....but I do assume that you are probably referring to an 'excessive' and 'alcoholic' type of drinking......which I would agree has many more negative effects than good. I do appreciate your input and honesty.....and if you have any other Non-Ameritard input or advice to give me on how to begin the legal process or make claims, or what to do 'legally'.....please do let me know..... I believe I have many valid claims against many individuals and the corporations and businesses involved.....just not sure how to start the whole legal process myself......without the help of a lawyer/attorney.

@@natlocst Thanks for the sub, like, and positive comment. Trust me, I've been through worse.....but this experience has really sucked.....mostly because I was actually starting to have some success with the business, and starting to build up some customers and more consistent work....and saw the potential and light at the end of the tunnel.....after years of trying and struggling with very little success.... But I'm a survivor, and will build it back up, and come back even more successful because of this experience..... God's always got a way of turning the bad to good and teaching us stuff to become better through what seems like the bad.....it might kinda suck now.....but it might've been the best thing to happen for me in the long run.

@@turbo2ltr Yeah this scantool just samples and graphs really slow......It's been like that on other vehicles too.....and have even just selected a few specific pids or just one or 2, and it's still just super slow....... I did change the time on my scope to see if I could see any glitches near it's base setting, or near idle, or just off idle, because I know that's usually where they glitch......but I never saw any glitches......seems like a perfect signal the whole range..... But on the Buick Skylark that TPS came off of.....as best as I can remember the TPS idle voltage was too low......and I couldn't adjust it to specs I think just because that sensor is worn a little internally.....but still works right....makes a good signal......the signal was just a little lower than the specs for that Skylark.....but seems good hooked up to this Expedition PCM....... But Thank You for your input, and knowledge and experience and comment.

@@larryfulkerson4505 Thanks Larry. Sometimes the best way to learn is to learn The Hard Way......but that's the way you usually learn the most....at least for me. Thanks for the positive comment and advice and well wishes and good luck and God's blessings to you as well in whatever you're dealing with in life.

@@turbo2ltr Thanks Man. That sounds like some genius stuff way over my head and experience that I know nothing about....... I have studied a little about bench work, and EEPROM, and key stuff & board repairs, so have a very vague, limited understanding of some of it, but really no experience yet.... This is only the second PCM I've ever opened up or bench tested with the GODIAG tool.....but it's very cool stuff to me able to bench test a module and learn this stuff....and the being able to play with sensors and circuits and stuff and try to figure out what the PCM is seeing & doing & why.....and trying to prove it and verify it with different tests and tools.....it's all very interesting, fascinating stuff to me.....and will help me get alot better at the electrical/diag stuff. Is nice too...I don't gotta worry about bricking or frying a module.....lol. Not that I want to fry one.....but at least this one's not on a customer vehicle.

As someone who also says uhh a lot in my videos and get comments about it, I went to your channel looking for videos demonstrating your superior uhh-free speaking skills but all I found was a kid pretending to be rambo. So move on with your negativity and grow up.

@@2000jago Uhhh.....Thanks for watching what you did and uhhh......for commenting....about uhhhh....well....you know.

@@turbo2ltr Loved your comment.....I always get the haters like that criticizing me for saying uhhh, ummmm..... Stupid thing is....most people talk like that....and say uhh, ummmm.....including the haters trying to criticize others for it......but they usually don't show their faces or have any good or useful or helpful content or anything with them publicly or online speaking......is very small minded and shallow of them.

@@DuanesDiagnostics As far as I'm concerned any comment is a good comment because the interaction helps the algorithm. So they might be laughing at me, but I'm laughing on the way to the bank. lol.

@@turbo2ltr You're right on that...... I don't make any money on this RUclips stuff.....but good for you if you do.....and good you can have a laugh driving to the bank....LOL..... There would be no life without the positive and negative.....so I guess the haters gotta fill that negative role to keep things in equilibrium and keep the universe moving.

Not too bright, huh?

@@asherdie We're probably on the same page on that.....No loss, injury, harm, or damage to another person or their property.....equals No Crime..... But most people have no concept of that......or that statutes and codes are only 'the color of law'.....not actually law......but is real hard to fight the system when the road pirates kidnap you.....steal your property.....and sell it.....and lock you up for profit.....until you pay their ransom......for No Crime..... But they committed all the crimes...... Of course in the name of justice, and upholding 'the law', and 'protecting and serving' the community.

@@PhillipMiass Not sure what you mean......

Most were intoxicated, but some weren't??? Sounds like poor engineering and signage is the issue.

@Tinkercatnh Look at you... typical ameritard. Where in NH? I'll swing by. We can chat...

@@Tinkercatnh If people drive a direction different than according to a sign......but cause no loss, injury, harm, or damage to other people or their property......then it should be No Crime......Crimes are against people and their property.....not against signs.....road signs are actually suggestions and recommendations and policy.....for those that choose to obey the men that made the signs......and actually charge them to drive their vehicles, with insurance & registration, and driver's licenses.....of course according to the signs and rules those men made.....for profit......don't obey the signs and rules other men made for you.....and they'll get more money out of you in other ways.....like ticketing you, or fining you, or locking you up for more profit for them....... God or whoever created us and this world blessed us with the right to travel freely in any direction we choose......up, down, left, right, here, there....North, South, East, West or any combination thereof......as fast or slow as we can travel or choose to or by whatever means we choose to travel..... Traveling in a 'WRONG' direction should not be a crime......and doesn't mean a person is intoxicated..... I've went the 'Wrong' way on many roads before......totally sober....but maybe not familiar with the roads or area or because of bad signage or bad GPS or Google directions.....it happens to most people at some time.....intoxicated or not. When God or whoever created us to freely live in this world....on this planet.....with free will, and freedom to choose whatever we may.....and do whatever we do......and go wherever we may go...... God didn't create the 'WRONG WAY' sign.....or expect to profit off of it or any other sign.........or policy.....or 'color of law'.......or statute or code.....or expect for his creation to be fined, imprisoned, or worse for traveling any direction or by any means, and not obeying road signs......that's all man's doing......and man's enslaving and profiteering.

@@DanielJohnson-xk3gz Thanks for subscribing and for the positive advice and feedback. I've actually been working for my buddy the last couple days doing some diag/repair work on a couple vehicles, but didn't make any videos on them.....but he's got more vehicles for me to work on.....so I should have some more diag and/or repair videos soon......and hopefully another vehicle for myself pretty soon.

That definitely would've been the smart thing to do that night, but obviously I wasn't that smart.....but life's always a learning experience.

@philh9238 You're guilt of doing it....

I’ve never

​​@@philh9238you suck

@@philh9238 Come on Phil.....tell the truth..... Lol.....just kidding.....I don't even know you..... but get the vibe you've probably drank and drove more than once in your lifetime.....and probably done more than drinking and driving......but I could be wrong.....sometimes I am.

@@stephenmcbride8859 It's usually best to go with the OEM plugs, whatever plugs the manufacturer specifies. Don't over-tighten or under-tighten them. And make sure it's the correct plug, and that they're gapped properly. Most plugs come pre-gapped, but aren't always gapped correctly.

@@DuanesDiagnostics how to I know how to gap them properly??

@@stephenmcbride8859 It sometimes tells you the spark plug part# and gap in the vehicle owner's manual......or would guess the part's stores could tell you......or a Google search, or repair manual or online repair info for your vehicle.

@@philh9238 You were dead on right. It was the steering angle sensor. You must've encountered that problem before......but that's exactly what it was......it was shorting the CAN lines, and causing a No Comm, and all kinds of lights & bogus codes........Thanks man for your input.......was pretty crazy to me......but that's what it was.....that sensor.......I made a couple more videos about diagging it today......and mentioned you in one of the videos.

@@philh9238 I honestly don't get alot of work, or many jobs that require using a scope, but will try to make some more scope videos if I can remember to. That's all I have is the cheap Pico non-auto 2 channel, a Uscope 1 channel, and a cheap hundred dollar Hantek 8 channel that I rarely use. I mostly use the Pico and it seems to get me by for most stuff. I'm still pretty much a beginner level scope user, and the cheap 2 channel Pico is definitely worth the money, but would definitely like to upgrade to at least a 4 channel Pico.....someday..... Honestly, so far, for me, Relative Compression testing seems to be what I've used the scope for the most overall, but hopefully I'll get some more electrical problem vehicles soon to make some more scope related videos.

@@philh9238 You can also download the Pico software and use it in 'demo' version on a laptop without actually having a scope. That's what I did before ever buying my scope. It's a good way to get familiar with the software, and all the buttons, and functions, etc........without actually having a scope.

@@trippharris1144 If people around here only knew about me........ Eventually they will.

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

That scope is actually pretty cheap, but Pico is a good brand.....think I got it for about $150 to $180 or so a few years ago.......and it isn't really intended for automotive use, but it works for most automotive stuff.......is kind of a beginner level scope.....and pretty easy to use with a laptop, and the Pico software......if you're already fairly somewhat computer savvy, and know basic electrical fundamentals......much like using a voltmeter, but it draws you a picture......which is much more helpful for diagnostic purposes......but for most scope testing you also need specific test leads, probes, adapters, or accessories depending on what you're testing.......which can get much more expensive, but is well worth it if you have a passion for diagnosing problems accurately. If you want to learn more about using a scope or doing automotive diagnostic work......I would say to check out a RUclips channel called Scanner Danner........his name is actually Paul Danner.......but he is and has been one of the best in the business for many years......many mechanics & techs learn diag from him.....including me.....if it weren't for him I might not even do diag work and might not have ever bought or learned how to use a scope.

There's also a bunch of other good diag guys and RUclips channels out there if you want to learn scope or diag stuff.......guys that make me look like an idiot.......but just to name a few........ South Main Auto, Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics, Super Mario's Diagnostics, L1 Automotive Training, Royalty Auto Service, Diagnose Dan.......that's just to name a few......but there's a bunch of them out there.......I would suggest checking them all out.

You doing great, keep working hard on your video.thank you again for your information I will look into that.

@@user-md3mh8cm1m Thanks for the positive comments and encouragement.....if you check out those other channels, you will probably Love them......and learn much, much, much more.....the world of auto repair and diagnosis is pretty much never ending, depending on what you're willing to invest into it, and how far you wanna go......and learning to use a scope is a huge game changer in the world of diagnostics/diagnosis.

Nah....it runs fine.....I use it multiple hours every week when the grass and weeds are growing......sometimes about 10 to 15 hours a week......so that's actually a normal, good waveform.

@@DuanesDiagnostics i was just saying the scope would work well looking for one of those problems, but your echo runs well.

@@jongonegone1262 Yeah....looks like the scope would work just as well in helping to diagnose problems on 2 cycle engines as it would on 4 cycle engines.......in the right hands of someone that knows how to use the scope and analyze the waveforms.......but that's actually a very small percentage in the automotive world......and even less, if anyone in the small engine world......

Dang that sucks!.....especially after a month, and you probably thinking it was all good.....then starts to leak a month later...... If it was gonna leak at all, I'd rather have it leak from the very beginning, just so I would know, rather than find out a month later it's junk.....especially if it was a customer vehicle. Seems like it's almost 50/50 on alot of new parts nowdays.....that you might get a decent one or one that actually works, or works right.

@@DuanesDiagnostics on my application Honda 3.5 V6 I see on Amazon ( got mine from rockauto)others have a leak in the same exact place , seems like it's a manufacturing flaw. Should have sprung for the OEM Honda DENSO.

@@CRAPO2011 I've had the same problem lately with other parts not manufactured or machined correctly, even an OEM part......and have heard from other mechanics/techs it's a very common problem nowdays......one guy said he had to install like 6 or 8 alternators before finally getting one that worked right.....and I believe he was a tech at a dealership. Seems like there's just no quality control in alot of the parts manufacturing....but the odds are still definitely better with buying OEM.

@@DuanesDiagnostics wow 6-8 alternators damn .DENSO was my go to brand as I have various replacement components from them, first time I've been burned by DENSO👎.have heard good things about Spectra Premium radiators for my application didn't know they are manufactured in USA.

@@DuanesDiagnostics I've heard of Ford and Stellantis OEM parts being faulty out of the box. Hondas worse OEM replacement was those 4speed transmissions from the early 2000s some didn't make it to 5k.

Yeah, honestly I was thinking the same thing myself.....I think it might still work in some of the other modes.....but I never tried using it again since it fried.....but am curious about that......will probably eventually try it.....can't really hurt it any worse...lol. If nothing else, I figured I'd keep it for parts and the circuit board and internals. Eventually I want to learn how to solder and desolder circuit board parts and learn more circuit board level testing & stuff......but I'm a long way off from that, but figured it'd be good to keep for parts to practice that kind of stuff on when or if I ever get around to it.

@@DuanesDiagnostics on the black one that I have that Jack is just connected through a shunt a thick piece of wire and there are sense lines on either side that go to the circuit for monitoring. So if they stuck to the same design method theoretically all the other modes should work unless it took out a trace on the circuitboard between something. The best part if it still works you won’t be make that mistake again as it will be physically impossible.

@@imark7777777 Yeah I remember seeing a thicker piece of wire on mine near the ports.....guessing that might be a shunt.....will have to take a closer look at it.....but yeah, I won't be able to make the same mistake again with that meter.

Yeah I never even thought about that.....about being able to hook it up wrong on AC line voltage......probably could smoke the meter alot quicker that way.....but good your power strip had the built in circuit breaker, and it actually worked.

Would pretty much agree, it's a bad meter design......but also honestly, the bad design has also 'saved' me in the past, where I went to check battery voltage, but didn't realize the positive lead was still in the amps port from previous testing I'd done, so when I touched the leads to the battery posts momentarily, I just got a 'spark', but no blown fuse, or melted meter, so that design has 'saved' me in the past, but not this time. From what I've heard from automotive instructors, alot of meters are internally fuse protected......but not this particular meter......it does say 'UNFUSED' on it......right below the amps port. Not really sure why some meters would be fuse protected, and some not......but seems like an intentional bad design to me to eventually sell more meters......but maybe not.....I could be wrong.

@@DuanesDiagnostics Yeah it's annoying the first time it happens and you don't have any 10A fuses and have to wait to get them before you do the testing. Now have a pack of 10 just in case. However, also then bought a digital clamp meter [UT210E] (does up to 100A DC and no direct connection to the circuit so nothing to blow up - newer ones do even higher currents now) for doing high current testing so don't use the normal meter in the Amps socket.

@@johnr3435 Yeah I have a few different amp clamp type meters, but they're not always accurate or reliable for measuring in the low milliamps range......which is alot of what I need to measure......checking battery drains/parasitic draws, etc........sometimes the regular non-clamp meter with a direct connection to the battery is much more accurate for doing tests like that.......in my opinion.....at least based on my tools and experience. But I do have a clamp type meter that was pretty accurate for the low milliamp range, but it started not working right about a month ago or so.......I also have amp clamps that hook up to scopes......are highly accurate.....but also not quick and easy to setup or use...... That meter I fried was pretty accurate on the low milliamps setting......and so was the clamp type meter I had been using.......up until about a month ago or so.......but most likely I'll just end up buying new meters of both types......I like having both just to be able to compare their readings to each other......and also like having multiple ways to test stuff......or backups......but also think that's better to prove a 'diagnosis'......if multiple tools are showing the same thing and the same readings.

@@DuanesDiagnostics Yes, you are right not accurate/reliable on DC for low miliamps - constant need to zero out. I'd be interested to know which clamp meters you found to be accurate for curent.

@@johnr3435 This is the stand alone amp clamp I had been using.......it was pretty accurate, had it about 4 or 5 years......but it started not working right about a month or so ago.... www.aeswave.com/True-RMS-Low-Curr-Clamp-p9214.html The only other low amp clamps I have are for using with scopes. But if you check out AESWAVE they have all kinds of cool tools and different types of amp clamps too.

That's definitely a smart idea to switch to the 20 volt DC setting after doing an amp reading, and before putting the meter away. From what I've seen, it seems like the amps function on most of those types of meters is usually rated at 10 amps, but might be higher on a Fluke or different type of meter, but was only 10 on that meter I fried, so I wouldn't want to go above that, but would definitely be much cheaper to replace a fuse than the whole meter........seems like on meters like those that aren't fuse protected on the amps function......that's almost engineered to fail....to sell more meters......because almost anyone that uses a meter and uses the amps function.....is going to eventually forget or not pay attention to where their leads are at......and make the same mistake I made......then BOOM!!....meltdown....and you gotta buy another meter....instead of just replacing a fuse.

Yeah, a little scary it got that hot, enough to melt down the meter leads and ports, but didn't really seem to affect the trailer wiring at all.......I guess it's got some kind of shunt or resistor built into it that absorbs the heat from the amp draw......somewhat like a heatsink or circuit breaker that doesn't actually break the circuit until the meter actually melts down.......that seems like kind of a stupid design.......if it was fuse protected, that wouldn't have happened.......but I guess they sell more meters that way, without it being fuse protected.

@@DuanesDiagnostics There's stacks of meter reviews here on youtube, I'm an electrician by trade so it's pretty critical I have those safety features and ones suited for the work I do. There's even half decent portable oscilloscopes/dmm combos that are cheap thanks to China these day! Owon & Hantek would be great for your type of work IMHO. Happy fault finding 😉

@@TradieTrev Thanks. That's cool, my dad was an electrician, and my nephew is too. Not sure if it's in the gene's or not, but I've always liked learning the electrical & electrical troubleshooting stuff, but really like just troubleshooting/diagnosing stuff in general. I have a 2 channel Pico scope, and a single channel U-scope, but have been wanting to get one of those 2 channel portable type scopes because they would be quicker and easier to use and setup than my Pico, and would be one more channel than my U-scope. I have an 8 channel Hantek, a cheap'O hundred dollar one, but isn't the portable/stand alone type, it requires using my laptop and the Hantek software......and it's kind of junk, but somewhat useful for some stuff or just to practice with, but can't really expect much out of it for a 100 bucks.......but will probably still look into one of their 2 channel portable type scopes, or the Owon/Owan.

I got some tools that give instructions or data in Chinese/English......think they call it Chinglish.
