The diagnostic videos are my absolute favorite. Replacing parts rarely matches the intellectual curiosity of understanding a problem and how these complex automotive systems work.
Would probably be just as good a channel.... Zip ties lost its Zip when he started cleaning up his videos for youtube. Unsub'd and quit watching after that. The last good vid he made was of that Detroit cement truck....
@@wyokaiju992 not his fault that RUclips won’t allow free speech, 🤷🏼♂️ he’d probably be kicked off RUclips entirely by now if he didn’t clean up a bit
Friend of mine asked me if he should clean the dielectric grease out of a light socket on hie Dodge Van.Thought I was pullling his leg when I tried to explain why the grease was there.
The great thing about this video is that your customer can watch and see everything you did, just in case he questions the bill. And if his friends and neighbors watch this, you just got yourself some free advertising.
Yeah but...how many cars from the old days had their original plugs at 180,000 miles. People glow over the "old days" because they only remember the good parts. I don't miss having to replace the entire exhaust system every couple of years because it's rusted out.
Excellent work as always Wes!! I don't care what your videos are about, I just love watching them, they're always entertaining, fun, and informative...
Surprised you don't get many views on diag videos, hell they're a large part of why I'm subscribed to your channel. Enjoyed the video bud, keep them coming and I'll keep watching.
I think the numbers ought to tell you how good the videos are. To think that you take the time to video which has to about double you repair time getting it all set up.... thanks for doing so. You make my brain hurt watching you diagnosing electrical issues. I am amazed at your patience to push through til it is resolved.
If it wasn't for simple diagnostic videos there would be a bunch of us shelling out for repairs that should have been covered under warrentee. Case in point a Jeep Patriot throttle body replacement just under the kilometres and within warrentee period, dozens of folks got burned by dealerships to replace this purported "non warrentee" item. However due to videos posted, I was able to have mine covered because I mentioned the videos online about the "just at warrentee" period failures. Lets face it, research and standing your ground sometimes beats a $1500.00 bill every time, when the manufacturer knows that part is garbage and they get called on it. So simple diagnostic videos, a cup of coffee and watching a video published by Wes can save a guy some dollars, why not? Thanks for the share Wes, have an awesome day and thanks again.. Cheers Sir!
I enjoy these Diagnostic videos. I don't own, and will probably never own a chevy trailblazer, but still enjoy watching the troubleshooting process. Please keep making videos like this :)
Diag Diag Diag videos, Wes don’t stop making Diag videos man. That’s where the real content is man, any fool can swap parts and show it. But actually finding the real cause of a problem and only fixing that is key to real repairs. The proof in in the pudding!!!
There is a lot of value in examining other people's troubleshooting methods. In cases like this, not even just the methods but the chain of investigation from "initial report" to "solution". Love your work, man. Keep it up.
I like diagnostic videos as well. Especially from someone at your level. I've only had a few mechanics that worked for me with your analytical skills. Thanks for the fun. :-)
Nice to see follow the steps and wow it was fixed no fuss no muss. The tire repair brought back memories from 30 years ago I worked at sears in Downtown Peoria and lost count on how many flats I did.
My Ford E150 van needed a coil pack at only 65k miles. Started misfiring on one cylinder. The repair was over $300. IIRC the part was a lot of the cost. Glad to see the repair and what's involved. Wes went the extra mile with all new plugs.
That was a legit repair he did. I just use the $20 plug kit and run a sticky one through it. I bought a mini bead breaker for $80 so I can swap TPMS sensors at home. Its not a ton of $ for the tire shop to do them, its the 1-2 hours to drive, wait, drive back.
“There’s your problem, Lady” AAHHH screw it! 😃 I do like the inside patch over just jamming a plug from outside with gum on it! Great job! 👍👍. Enjoy the troubleshooting you do also!
Now that's a proper tire repair Wes, we used to keep an old hair dryer around the tire repair station to help with flashing off the cement faster, especially in the colder weather. Also not saying it's right but I used to not only mark the valve stem but also the wheel weights before dismounting the tire to avoid having to rebalance the tire.
I mark the stem then I usually check it on the balancer. I'd say 50% of the time it will come up .25 oz or less, which is fine. Anything over and I pop the weights off and start over.
@@WatchWesWork I usually just took off the weights, had an accident dismounting a tire, caught the wheel weight and scratched up an alloy rim🤬, luckily it was my own and not a customers vehicle.
Not sure why diagnostic videos don't seem to get as many views because I personally find them to be some of the best content on RUclips. Love the way Wes expresses the logic he's using to diagnose because it helps me and others if/when we have to try & diagnose this stuff without having one of those expensive diagnostic devices. Thanks for the great videos.
I haven't seen the lead wire tire patches before. That is new to me. The places I go to don't use them. Man, I grew up working on older Chevy straight sixes, the 235's and the, then newer, 250's. You could chuck a cat down either side of the engine with room to spare and you didn't worry about ignition modules failing. Of course you could lose your coil, or have the condenser go bad and fry your points and then you were dead. I didn't see that all that often though. Regular maintenance was the key there. There are those who will long for the good old days. I am not one of them. Some things were simpler but cars are generally more reliable. Fuel injection systems got rid of troublesome carbs and electronic ignition got rid of those pesky points. Engines last much longer than they used to. My vehicle has around 180k on it and I don't need to add oil between changes. Regular maintenance is changing the oil and air filter.
So nice to see you care enough to use a torque wrench on those lug nuts. So many just fire away with the impact driver and both unevenly tighten and over tighten the nuts. First class work Wes.
I like the diagnostic videos too. In this plug and play World we live in and given the complexity of modern cars it has become so much more involved. When you drag all the testing equipment out I couldn't even pretend to understand half of it but all is interesting and some sinks in. I love learning and you are a good teacher so thank you. I am now also trying to find someone to do my injectors. Thanks for your reply.
Just a quick side note that you can as the tire industry has been doing is reseal the inside that's being buffed that is on the inside of the tire they put a sealant on the buffed area too. It seals the inner lining of the tire. All the best from Canada
Really like the diagnostic videos cause I am willing to bet most shops even dealer techs just load the parts cannon now days. It's nice to see a tech who actually finds the issue 👍👏
Wes Mike from Indiana here don't you have any New video's I've been watching stuff from 10 months to 2 years old that's why I quit watching diesel creek for lack of new content I like watching you you're very wise and I like seeing the good ole dog max is cool thanks
I love diagnostic videos and reading about it. It's like a mechanic's puzzle and affords me "practice" without having to do it myself. A buddy and I trade work info daily just to bounce questions and learn more.
I enjoy the diagnostic videos the best. I’m 65 and have been a tech for 47 years. The last 30 out of my house shade treeing but busier than most shops. It’s tough keeping up with all the electronics and drivability diagnosis so these videos are my life blood. I’ve found you, Eric O, Ivan and Scanner Danner indispensable.
Wess, only problem is I usually watch these on Sunday when at work where my hourly rate is double time but I'm watching this at work on a Saturday, my hourly rate is only time and half. Great job Wess.
Misfires and flat tires, sounds like a catchy name for a new youtube channel. Besides using the diagnostics to trouble shoot, switching the coil pack was a good confirmation. Wes your "Don't get excited" approach is always enjoyable and yes very interesting to watch. Nice patch job on the tire as well.
Keep the diagnostic videos coming. I’ve replaced dozens of those coils on those engines and I still watch videos of it. Always good to see how other people come to the conclusions of problems. Makes me think differently
I enjoy the diag videos. The GM atlas inline platform ( trailblazer/ colorado/ canyon just gives me a very dim flicker on my led test light. Had one with a worn out engine. Also first time I seen a tire patch with a plug stem! I've always been given a standard tire patch at work. Interesting seeing the different ways of doing the same job. Keep em coming
my mom had an 05 blazer that started misfiring bad after a week of -40-50 F weather. She drove it for like 6 months with it like that. Amazingly the thing still runs amazingly after i gave it a tune up.
great show! i love the die o electric grease digs my departed dad use to say ( i like it when people that don't know what there talking about give expert advice, its funny !!!) keep safe.
By trade, I do a lot of diagnosing so I love watching these types of videos. You never know what tips and tricks you will pick up. Funny thing, I was just helping someone on a forum just a hour ago diagnose a shorted ignition coil that was blowing the 15A fuse and had no spark to any plug.
The why.... they say curiosity killed the yankee.. better not go down that rabbit hole.. lol Nice video's Wes.. you are really stepping up the production value.. not sure if I could get to that level.. especially like the rapid fire segments cut together of torqueing or installing the clips on the coils.. very nice work, both video and mechanic.. its not easy..
Thanks Wes! Ya didn't your hands too dirty on this one. So glad you used the ole "electric" transfer grease on the ignition module! That might have corrected the original problem 😂
I will probably never need this info... With that being said it was still entertaining as always. I liked the "stop animation" on the plug and coil replacement scene.
An easy fix on a monday morning always set the tone for the week for me. It just seemed as though that if it was seals in a transmission on monday then I would see other jobs that called for seals and right down the line so I have been known to just skip monday altogether and go to work the rest of week including saturday...... sundays always a shop clean up and those could get really messy for me as I didn't have a lift in that little shop for years.... how many miles we have come in lifts as that four post push around lift really impresses me. Of course we all had to work on the old single post in the floor that really wasn't a lot of help on most jobs other than a oil change or you already know. So smile, you only have another forty years to get to my age and hate everything you can't put a fork in
I like them, helps me understand why I don’t do much of my own wrenching anymore ! In my day, compression gauge, vacuum gauge, volt meter, and my ear was about all we had or understood how to use. We built some pretty good rods in the 60’s, had a lot of fun!!
I have this same SUV but an 06... 255k on it runs great I love it... I was going to have my mechanic do a tune up on it ... but now I know it's super easy to get at the plugs I'm gonna do it myself... thanks for the great content Wes!!!.. I lean so much from your channel keep up the great work!!
I always enjoy a legit tire plug/patch repair. I had two friends who worked at a tire store/shop near me and they taught me the “Way of the Rolling Donut”, if you know what I mean. If the hole is big you can use the plug/patch and cover it with another even bigger patch. May be some fire involved too but “PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY!” and “FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY!” 🤘
At the end of the video Wes says, these video's don't get much views.
10,000 views an hour later...
Thanks for the quality content Wes.
Yeah - I thought it was a great vid. I have a 2008 version of that trailblazer so I was interested in how he fixed that issue...

In 2004 I bought a new Envoy which is the Gmc version of the Trailblazer and we ran the snot out of it for four years and never had an issue.
Good video,Wes. Just the right amount of talk and work.
