Wow, a lot of important lessons buried in this video. I love your clear nail polish trick. I wonder how it stands up over the long term. Even though liquid electric tape should be better, I go through cans of that because the containers dry out.
I've been using it for a while, and it seems to seal very well. When the hole is a little bigger than a prick, like if the copper is showing a little, I still use Liquid tape. Even though I can never get the stuff off my hands😃
Got a 01 impala in the shop for a week now same issue. Did see both wires that connects to the block and they were both disconnected. Funny how such a simple thing m g can cause such a headache.
A regular incandescent test light only pulls about 150 milliamps of current; the light bulb takes 4.5 amps of current. I want to make sure it can handle a load.
I love the way he did it finding missing ground (((( ''I'm not an expert so I'm still learning as well'' )))but wouldn't you think an easier way would be a quick voltage drop onto the ground battery to groung using voltage drop
Then I would have to keep it plugged in and back probe it so the circuit would be loaded. This way, it puts 4amps on the circuit even when it's not working.
AWESOME approach and great thought process I have launch X431V+ am trying to get TOPOLOGY on it and is Chinese one do u know or any information how to would be appreciated thankyou for sharing.
I have the same impala I will check the grounds on it . I have a new battery new alternator will only start with jump and doors unlock and and shut when I try to drive off.
I used to use a sim card installed in the computer, but I couldn't figure out how to make it into a hotspot for my scan tools. Now I use an At&t Netgear portable hotspot that I keep in my pocket.
What kind of scanner is that and if it’s launch where would you buy it I’m scared of getting a counterfeit one from Amazon any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
It's a Launch PRO3S+HDIII, Diesel & Gasoline Bidirectional Diagnostic Scan amzn.to/3t6LCx4 I got it on amazon it is the chinese version which didn't bother me. If you're looking for something with much better support I would recommend TopDon www.topdon.us/collections/professional-series/products/phoenix-elite?ref=DKOii7zD3k5PUe
Yup, I paid junk for this 07 F450. I wasn't thrilled initially, but now that I'm setting it up, it is really nice to have all that room! The suburban was slowly dying as I really was abusing it with all the weight😀
@@advancedleveldiagnostics Back in the day I tried all kinds of vehicles and finally bought an E150 little did I know I was going to overweight that too but working out of a proper vehicle makes life so much easier. On that E150 I went through rear axles and bearings. The best I could do was take it to a truck spring shop. Never had an axle or bearing problem again. That 450 should hold a bit of weight. Parking garages and low overhangs are the only major drawback but even my van gave me the same issues. I had a PoPo style lightbar on the roof with lights and a P.A. as we do emergency service calls. I'm working on something with Techstream. Newer Toyota's have output and input codes for lost keys. The scan tool gives you 3 output codes and through NASTF you have to pay Toyota $70 for a 2 day rental for the input code. I may have a work around a lot cheaper. Will know when we get the next one. If it works I will email you how it's done.
LAUNCH X431 PRO3S+HDIII amzn.to/3t6LCx4 , I got it to do HD Trucks as my Topdon is incapable. I like launch software. It is almost the same as topdon. I feel the hardware is of lesser quality than the Topdon, But that's most likely because I just got the Chinese one. It can still access the FCA gateway module, which is pretty cool.
Nice one. Common problem on Chevy's. Very straightforward diagnostic. You know your stuff.
Thanks for watching!
Your doing a great job with your channel, I think 10,000 subs will be soon for you!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks Jeff! I appreciate you watching!
Being a disabled retired tech this was very refreshing to watch. You are very talented Tech.
Thank you so much!

I use both but in rust belt the nail polish will last longer then the frame of the car 😁
That's FACT!
Excellent job and tell them it’s a $50 extra charge for working out in the rain.
💯
Spot on diagnosis! You’re one hell of an efficient technician and in the rain! ✊🏾
What state are you in

I'm sure the shop wouldn't mind if you left your business cards.
you are fast already much alone x15 speed great job.
Thanks!
why does he use the Lightbulb and not just the test light? Still learning Id appreciate any insights
A regular incandescent test light only pulls about 150 milliamps of current; the light bulb takes 4.5 amps of current. I want to make sure it can handle a load.
Sweet,good job🎉
Thanks!

What's the amperage draw of test bulb you're using.
4.5 amps
Excellent/ fast diag👍🏾
Thanks for watching!
Great diag and repair bro.enjoyed the video
Thanks 👍
AWESOME approach and great thought process I have launch X431V+ am trying to get TOPOLOGY on it and is Chinese one do u know or any information how to would be appreciated thankyou for sharing.
I'm sorry I don't think the ones that come without Topology can be added in.
Good find.! Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
I have the same impala I will check the grounds on it . I have a new battery new alternator will only start with jump and doors unlock and and shut when I try to drive off.
I think you have a diffrent issue because on this car it would not crank at all, because there was no communication with the computer.
Excellent video. 👍 👍 👍
What is the splicing tool called that you used? Where can you buy it?
Beautiful
Where can I get that red test light bulb cover from

What are u using to provide internet to your cf-33?

Got rid of the Suburban for a truck? That had to be very cramped for all the equipment you need.
