"Need something broken?" Haha loved that!
GM engineering meeting: “guys, let bring in our service techs for input on the serviceability of this next design..”. Entire room breaks out laughing...”nah, just kidding”
Having "been there", "done that", it usually goes, "Hey guys, this thing is going to be a PITA to work on", reply "Yep, thank NHTSA and the EPA for the 40% decrease in bay space, and styling thinks we should have these shiny baubles that nobody will see, but convicted the BoD that without this $125 in extra BS we'll lose 75,000 sales.
True story, been in meetings where everybody is "jeeze, this thing is going to be a pita to work on", and everybody is "Well, we could get rid of this, that, the other thing, but then it doesn't pass EPA requirements, we could lose this and that, but then it doesn't pass NHTSA needs, and there is NO WAY we are touching anything Styling says we must have....Remember Fred, John, George, Mary and Stacey? Yea, those 5 went up against styling...they got fired along with most of their departments and replaced"...you don't go against the studio, they always win for some idiotic reason.
Not saying they couldn't have done a better job, but all the crap you need on an engine today? Sheesh, I have a 5.7L V8 in my 1999 Tahoe, I can almost climb into the engine bay, my buddy has a 2018 Tahoe...smaller V6, and you have to tear half the engine apart to get to anything because of all the NHTSA and EPA stuff that's in it.
@@WreckDiver99 well said. Some of the government regulations are like a spoiled child demanding every toy and candy bar in the store. I WANT SAFETY, FUEL ECONOMY, AND EMISSIONS. Uh, little child , you cant have one without sacrificing the other.
Remember folks, If Jay can do it you can do it.... Thanks for watching !!!
I lol'd irl.
Hat tip!
Beat me to it. 😂
2 cars go by...rush hour must be over..lol 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Every small town person says this, I do the same thing when waiting to turn off my road when I have to wait for a car or 3 to go by 😂
@@braaapattack2937 I'd like to say that for 2 or 3 cars but I live in Cincinnati...
Eric you are the best mechanic. That with neutral and handbrake, I got to learn today, you never get fully trained. I'm only 65 😁.
I sure hope the folks in Avoca know how lucky they are to have a skilled and honest technician like you available to diagnose and repair their motor vehicles. Best wishes from Florida for this new year.
South main auto, Matt’s off road recovery and Fabrats are my favorite channels on RUclips
It looks like Jay is working out okay. Great job guys.
I like this "collaboration" format.
Turns out the Snap On tool I found in a parking lot that I though was some kind of alignment tool is a hose pick. I knew I watched this channel for a reason.
Those things are completely worthless. You should send it to me.
Probably a $75 tool coming from strap on. LOL.
Whoaaaaawhhh, I just replaced the whole thermostat housing on my wife’s car this morning, switch on you tube this evening and bingo you posted this identical video.🤯😁😉
I love this channel! Enough said
Its addictive ! Well done Eric.
This is by FAR the fucking best automotive repair channel on youtube........... I unfortunately live in the sewer of NY, wish I could ride up to Eric and get my pile of dogshit Jeep fixed(SMA is around 360 miles from me)
@@brianhume4743 Elocution.
"Torqued to factory specs"
Yep, I have those preprogrammed in my arms.
All cars, Eric features in SMA vlogs now would like their own media agent to negotiate better viewing.
Thanks for sharing SMA.
Best regards from the UK.
John.
That horn honking in my living room sent my two cats into a panic .
Eric is not only the best tech ever...His abilities and the fact that he is willing to share them is matched by no one!!!
I'm retired from GM after 36 years, Terex earth moving equipment, and Fisher Body, I could tell you things you would not believe!
As good as Rivethead: Tales From the Assembly Line?
Please tell us.
That’s strange I though the engine was the heater for a thermostat. lol
You apparently failed GM Engineering School, you silly person! :)
But how will it ever get hot on the other side of the thermostat? :)
What? Typical city worker knows nothing about the job but related to the mayor. 🤣
I thought the MIL was the More Income Light. No sense in leaving letters unused on the side of the road with Money Light. :)
Haha that's brilliant but it's true that's what that light means
Eric, you aren't the only one that calls a manual transmission a millenial anti-theft device. 😂
I am from holland. I don’t understand the joke :-).
@@mauricevandoeselaar manual transmissions are extremely rare in US in cars and trucks since the 1980s. the current generation has no idea how to drive one
@@mauricevandoeselaar I am originally from France, but I've lived in the US for 36 years, so, I understood the joke! 😁
@@mauricevandoeselaar As @mxsport mentioned, manual transmissions are rare here. The sale of any sort of vehicle with manual transmissions have fallen so much that new models of cars simply don't offer a manual transmission as an option when purchasing. Because of this, younger folk have not been trained on how to drive one. So if you have a car with three pedals, the chances of it getting stolen are very low.
I recall in Seattle a while back some teenagers tried to steal an old lady's car. They hopped into it but it was a manual, and of course they kept stalling it - so they bolted and were caught a short time later by police.
Ok boomer
It is COOL to hear a pro talk thru repairs. And to understand that PROS have frustrations too.
Ohhhh the classic Cruze...nothing but money.
Haven't seen the T-STAT failure yet, excellent video as always Eric!
Where was this video a week and a half ago!? Just had to do this on my wife’s 2015 Chevy Sonic ltz. Same exact codes, ended up replacing the thermostat, but honestly I was just throwing parts at it and it just happened to be the right one this time. Now I know how to diagnose the problem correctly for next time! Thanks Eric!
Another successful repair. Time for ice cream.
I used to park & drive cars at a auto auction. We would drive up in a van of 7 drivers, we would hop into cars, & you would watch the youngins pop out & say "It's got a stick!" The old guys would hop in the Challenger & motor on!
When I was in the service, and would go overseas, none of the young troops could drive the sticks. My favorite was a Ford van, with an underpowered diesel, with a five speed on the column.
@@robertheinkel6225 When i was in the US Army, the 5-ton truck that I drove was an automatic. I was surprised by this.
When I first started working in a garage I wish I had somebody teaching me like what you’re teaching your guys
Skin will grow back. It’s free! 😂
That Cruz sounds like My Singer Sewing machine click, click, click
I thought the same thing Bada Bing
The joys of the Ecotec engine!
I was gonna say.. is nobody concerned about that?
@@espeterson522 It's just the injectors firing. Camera mic probably makes it sound louder than it is in person.
Every day is a good day to watch SMA!
Watching the ice slide down the windshield was mesmerizing.
Always great to see a new SMA video! Never a complaint from me. Thanks as always and Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Always a pleasure watching the Master at work (and his humble assistant).
If only I had someone as knowledgeable and honest as you working by my house. Cool to dream. 😜
You are awesome. I love an honest mechanic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
What happened to replacing a thermostat on a small block chevy, maybe 10 min including looking for one of the bolt you drop under the car that rolls behind the tire so you can't see it LOL
Absolutely, and if you've ever had to do a Trailblazer, Bravada (GM straight six) you'd wish it were as easy as that Cruz.
@@chuckgrenci6404 I agree I've heard horror stories about those thermostats.
@@andysanchez5423 Really not that bad of a job. Not as easy as a 350 Chevrolet but not that bad. The easiest method is to remove the alternator and the thermostat is easily accessible.
@@kevineich5029 GM Directions: Step 1: Remove front end of vehicle...
@@markh.6687 I have done the job on a 2003 GMC Envoy that is in my fleet. I did not have to "remove the front end of the vehicle" (whatever that means?) to do the job. Removing the alternator provides direct access to the thermostat assembly. It is a 45 minute job.
Hi from Ireland Eric, it’s a bit frosty here as well but it’s 6:30 pm so with the lockdown in operation again sitting in and watching you
I wish the cost of petrol ( gasoline ) and diesel were as cheap in Ireland as in the USA.
Thank you for the parking brake tip. I would have chased my self around in circles trying to resync the TPMS. We live in Wisconsin and I have refused to use the parking brake for decades because the parking brake froze one to many times because we are in the salt rust belt. You definitely are the man!!!
I've found that using the parking brake every single time I park keeps it from doing that. It helps that I grew up driving a manual so that habit has remained.
Awesome channel. I have a lot of respect for what a good mentor you are to younger mechanics. The world needs more young people who know how do something productive with their time and are willing to work hard to make an honest living.
The best channel for auto info 👍
Awesome channel and Great job ! Crew up in shop like yours and then joined the Navy . Spent a life time troubleshooting, repairing ,training and now designing Engines and Equipment. Again great job boss !
“Rush hour must be over” 😂🤣
I want to see Eric have to deal with metering lights, HOV lanes, and a boatload of idiot drivers.
Got a 2005 Cobalt - same symptoms. As always another quality video from South Main. :-)
Nice to see a bit of shop banter Eric looks like you got a couple of good guys there 👍
Hey Eric - good to see ya man - watching you Sunday Morning for motivation to get my butt to work in the garage.
Command is proportional with calculated engine load and or coolant temperature gradient increase. Low load, wax does the job, otherwise it is helped by the heater core.
I like the way Eric does his diagnosis. Once he identifies the problem he goes in and tests the circuit for proper powers and grounds and then tests the part before replacing it. Nice work
“A”nother awesome short but sweet S.M.A. Repair Video. “Thanks again Mr.O!”
Sweet diag and tutorial. Thanks Dr. O!
stick shift aka anti theft , is what I had my son learn how to drive with when he got his license. another great video 👍 EricO
Finally, the Ultra is out !!! Been waiting for a while to see this baby in action! Great Vid Eric as usual....love this channel.
you make everything look so easy. great job.
Great job. I use to have a 2012 Cruz 1.4 stick. I had to replace water outlet, leaks.
Also done 4 rocker covers for a defective PCV. Had almost 300,000km on it when I got rid of it. Again thanks for your videos, very entertaining.
Make sure when making resistance measurements you take into account the meter lead resistance. Great work Eric!
Liked having you and Jay and Josh all there. Just like a little party going on.
Love your channel i Love watching working on stuffs ,, im a heavy equipment and 18 wheeler mechanic i fix anything from a forklift to a big truck to a broken heart,, I love the dio equipment you use , I'm expected to fix said equipment without test equipment ,, I share your videos with my boss hopefully they will learn to know what it means to dio,, thanks
Eric, I found it funny. I just did a Chevy Cruze with the exact same problem. What I found funny was I had Napa deliever the exact same part. As always I check the part to make sure it's the same. However, The little bugger got me when I was done. Turns out although the thermostat was the same but the plug was a little different. The little ribs inside were on the wrong side not allowing me to plug it in. I was so pissed. I didn't want to do the job all over again because of some little stop tabs. So I ended up using a little pick and knocking them off ( on the thermostat side). Then the plug went right in. Finished the job and checked for OEM operation. Funny thing was I had looked at the plug on the thermostat before I started and it "looked fine". (famous last words lol) Those tabs were so small I didn't see it. I really hate aftermarket just as much as you if not more. For that very reason. BTW, the computer looks for 12-18 ohms. I hope you got a laugh out of my story. Ron
It’s cold. Well, there’s your problem! 🤣 You just never know what you’re going to get on this channel; it’s like looking for treasure in the local pawn shop/flea market. 😎
about the 3:00 mark it was oddly satisfying to watch the ice melt and slide down the windshield.
When you were digging the nail out of the tire I thought you were going to fall back as a partial message from Princess Leia would appear
Happy New Year! Stay well!
Happy New Year, you starting out with a good video, no matter the vehicle is sorry to start with...
First rate viewing right here.
Better than what's on the TV for sure, plus ya might learn sumthin!
Liked!
Learnt a few things my sister has a Chevy Trax that has a 1.7 litr Diesel engine. Good little AWD car for where we live.. middle of nowhere Scotland. Things rust here also but salt only used in winter. Not sure if the fans work on the car, certainly never heard them and the AC doesn’t initialise (no fan clutch operation etc) so these are jobs ‘on the cards’.. Eric did a Cruze fan clutch fix so happy subscriber here..Cheers Eric..
She: I have a Chevy Cr......
Eric: “there is your problem lady “😂😂
Not to mention, the battery in the backseat thing..... yuk.
@@stoneblue1795 they have the best Turbo ,, in 1.4 litre 😅😅
Torque to spec of course 😂 love it, of course. Happy New Years!!
Lol “if you’re lucky some of it will go into the bucket” nice video Eric O
Stick shift.....millennial anti theft device.....love it! Keep up the good work Eric O.
Lol! The one few times you say something about ohms, they don't post the info. Another sweet video thanks for the walk through.
Great work Eric O awesome entertainment as always brother @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
One of my favorite channels
I saw your vise grips you used on the hose clamp and got a pair they do work well
Oh, and V never got back to me on my offer of bread & pastries! I was serious (and grateful). 👨🏻🍳👨🏻🍳👨🏻🍳
I learned some good information today! Thank You.
Hi really enjoying the channel and I am learning things as well, even though the cars are slightly different here in South Wales 🏴
Thermostat opens electronically if car is been driven hard before it opens manually to keep on top of extra heat been produced thous keeping engine at a good temp hope this helps. Great channel by the way.
great video, see alot of those cruzes, we always recommend the whole assembly instead of just the thermostat since you gotta pull it loose for the thermostat .
Great video, great team Eric 👏
Good morning Eric!
Wow! That was informative and entertaining. Good video! Hey in a couple of years Chevy will put a sensor on a hammer so you can see how hard it hits and we'll put a bracket in front of it because that's how we roll.
Thank you
You showed me how to get the thermostat out of my 1.8 Sonic
Glad I could help
Fun one to watch! Thanks Eric
2 cars go by, rush over, sounds like my town. "Who opened the flood gates!" Great diagnose. I can't believe how complex these cars are nowadays. My '64 C10 with a crate 350, I need a timing light, dwell meter and a screwdriver to tune it practically!
Done one myself bad just keep up the good work 👌
I love my 13 Cruze LTZ RS. Bought and sold a ton of cars over the years, and it's one of my favorites. Sitting at 214k, put 14k since I got it in November. All I've had to do was the typical valve cover which is easy. Has an oil leak but I change my oil every 3k miles and it never drops below full on the stick.
But what kills me is they put an aluminum thermostat on the junk 1.8 engine, but couldn't put an aluminum thermostat on the 1.4 Turbski engine. You can buy aluminum ones, but they were plastic from the factory. That's one of my only gripes about the engine. I've worked on cars for 16 years. I've seen a lot. People shit talk the 1.4, and no it's nowhere near the best. But it's a good engine that gets fantastic mileage
I don’t know what 12 people gave you a thumbs down but them 12 people need a thumb up there you know what LOL. I watched a ton of your videos and appreciate your knowledge and information. I can’t ever remember watching a video that I would give you a thumbs down on.Keep up the good work, oh and screw those thumbs down people if you dont like the vid dont watch it.
I'm about to do the thermostat on my 09 Wave .. Great info.. Thanks
Did it on my ‘10 Aveo, be prepared for sticker shock on how much the LXV specific thermostat costs.
How can such a complicated, computerized, system, be cheaper to build and engineer, rather than the plain old 180 degree mechanical thermostat, we all grew up with, and took 15 minutes to change out. With all this computerized equipment used in such a harsh environment as a moving motor vehicle, I'm not surprised at all the breakdowns.............Good Job, Rick...!!
180F thermostats are long gone. The emissions and fuel economy were lousy. 190F was better but the more modern temperature control are now standard. Toyota has gone the electric coolant pump route.
It'd be cool if (one day) you had the time to put out videos highlighting problem engines and maybe even transmissions from the various manufacturers, pointing out specific areas of concerns.
Hello. Erick. Happy new year. You. And family. Nice. 👏jobs. Chevy. Cruz😀👍
Nothing like having the Boss watching you,plus 66xxx people...no presure.
I use to remove the thermostat every summer from my old XD 1982 Falcon. It had no air conditioner
and ran on dual fuel. LPG ran hotter and dryer, while Petrol ran cooler. So in Australian summer I would run with bonnet unlocked and wood blocked between bonnet underside and latch (prayed bonnet latch kept it down at 100 kph) and kept the heater on at full bore. You could see the engine temp rise to 3/4 if I turned the heater fan off and back down to just over 1/2 if turned it back on. Was a XD Falcon 3.3 litre alloy head station wagon, so had alot of weight to move with a underpowered engine, especially if switched to LPG. So in summer I also ran it on petrol as it helped also to keep it cooler. I admit as I got older, I enjoyed the perks of Airconditioning and power steering.
Just want to say great shows!!! From Canada Alberta :)
I love this guy in a good way. Thx for sharing.
My daughter's 10yo High-YOON-day had the "service TPMS light" on. The tire shop adjusted pressures to 34psi all the way around, then read the pressure off of each sensor individually; they read 0, 15, 34, and 85. 😎
Seems like you have a good crew there....a sense of humor amongst all y'all means you're most of the way there, right?
Awesome as always.... Good job!
Repeat after me: "NAPA, not a sponsor"
I thought that was “Napper.”
I thought Napster.
That would like nice on a cap.
another good one Eric
School is in session! Good to hear you are including the "subtle wise guy joking" module in the curriculum.
Also, that Cruze is ticking like an old fashioned alarm clock, expect you will be seeing it again, either for repair or to administer "last rites".
Heard that ticking too. What is that?
