      Really. Police don't kill people. They only kill fools that seem to think they're better than the police and then disobey what the police officer is asking them to do. Don't get me wrong they're some police officers that are sketchy but most are stand up honest people. If you think that they're all crazy with hate maybe you should become one. Let's see what you do when you come to a scene and have no idea what is going. Also why they stopped you cause you're speeding or something. At least show a wee bit respect for the law enforcement officers

    Up at 5am daily! Great video, love the little digs into the PRONY. Looks like the politicians need to revise the State Inspection Laws. They will probably call a special session and you will end up having to buy a new official State Sign, same as the old sign, but different colors.

      PRONY is really funny. Glad the comments here stay real and don't get angry/ugly/political/bot comments. (subscriber since before there was a stove in the office. There was one set of serious threats from Eric re potential ugly posts on a video with Miss Hannah, fortunately not needed (or needed and no bodies found). Comments here are great).

    NAPA earned the acronym many years ago, before Eric O was born. I remember wanting 8 spark plugs for a smallblock chevy when they were the most common engine on the road locally. They only had 6. They had to order the other 2 and that is all they ordered.

    There is a possible carbon monoxide leak at 14:36 on the right side of the tailgate weatherstrip. Had the same with its Chevy counterpart. The position of the weatherstrip makes it easy to damage when sliding heavy objects out of the rear. My example only had the metal clip embedded in the rubber flattened over enough to look fine but not seal when closed, being ripped is possibly worse. The Weatherstrip might be popular as at the time the dealership had it in stock. Tool used was a Testo 317 but there's Klein and plenty of other brands available. It also answered the question of why the previous owner hadn't driven the vehicle for over 5 months.
    Great video E, got a failed side object module on the wife's car to replace next.

    Just this year, I actually had to do RAM's job and diagnose a "PARKSENSE /SHIFTER" problem on my 2019 RAM 1500 4x4. Turns out, it is a major problem RAM is having, that they are keeping hush hush, from the general public as well as their dealerships (yes I reported Chrysler for doing so). AFTER I thoroughly tested and diagnosed the problem *because they had no friggen idea!*, I then took it to the dealer for them to FIX (Warranty rules). I sent a complete dialogue of the diagnosis and repair, hoping to help the countless others suffering from this issue...............One family was in a serious accident when this problem occurred, causing the brakes to lock up, then making the truck and trailer jack knife, then roll several times, severely inuring the driver and his family onbaord. Chrysler/RAM has kept this major problem HIDDEN. They ARE aware of it, but have done nothing to correct the cause (BAD HARNESS CONNECTORS)

    Mrs. O for camera lady! Eric does a great job on repairs. Better to have something fixed correctly before you wind up on the side of the road or worse in an accident.

    Had to do this recently on a 16 Suburban. That module kept the vehicle from starting as well! Module and wire harness in back.

    Just did the front brakes on my explorer sport. The pins were rusted one was frozen solid, had to use the bluepoint heat wrench to get it loose. Apparently the last person who did brakes didn't grease the pins.
