26 yrs as a HVAC mechanic, you couldn't have said it better about the real mechanics seem to get squat compared to hack parts changers. It's great to see there are still true mechanics who actually care about doing the right thing and are proud

Another 37 minutes of me not watching depressing, anger filled YouTube content.(Politics and world news).
Soldering while on your back is not a job I like doing.
Thanks for your meticulous diagnosis and professional repairs.
Carry on Carrying on, Mr. O

Some people see my South Main Auto t-shirt here in Kentucky and ask why I'm wearing that NY stuff. I tell them, unless you watch this guy, you'll never understand. Thanks, Eric!!ā¤ā¤ā¤

Let's all take a moment to appreciate the TAPE skills of this guy! Cutting, not stretching to break, not using teeth, taping ends of loom, covering loom, strain points of all the sections of harness, and not wrinkled and kinked or mixed with dirt. Quality AND Appearance are hallmarks of a professional. Good job!

I`m a solder and heat shrink guy, have been for 50 years when I started working on my own junk @16. Nice fix, well done Eric.

Love how he said he wonāt show all the repairs (he didnāt) but showed a lot as he talked to the people. I loved that during certain topics he stopped and just laid back and folded his hands while talking. Felt like philosophy time with Eric O. Thatās why we watch!

"wire color is right, as long as your wire color is green"š gotta love service connectors.

I love how Eric brings up how the internet is full of professionals:
āYouāre doing this wrong! Iām a professional solder, welder, concrete person, home builder, cotter pin benderā¦ā š

I am not a YouTube content creator. Merely a content consumer. However, in my 51 years of living, working 31 years in an auto production plant (the one that built that truck actually) & serving in two military branches (still serving as an aircraft mechanic), Iāve learned to ignore the morons who surround us all. Those who claim to know the most, usually donāt. Stop feeding the trolls Eric. Another great video by the way!

Ericās methods are top of the class. I used to train new employees at Boeing in that method on Ch-47s and V22 Ospreyās. We had a position on the line dedicated solely for autocheckout called DITMCO. We would have the newbies hook up every connector on the aircraft to a computer system programmed for each aircraft and run checks on every wire. part one was point-to-point wiring , and part two was for every circuit breaker and all relays to be energized. I even helped to design a program, an active circuit diagram which showed all the systems in animation for troubleshooting, loved it all

Hi Eric,
The Ford heatshrink is actually Raychem ES2000. Mouser and DigiKey both carry it. I'm sure other places have it too.
Common sizes are ES-1 to ES-4.

You always do outstanding work! I watch all the time. Iām 70, recovering from renal cancer, but still try to work on my own stuff. Nice work and I know you will always be successful! Ronnie East Tennessee

As it happens, I am, in fact, a professional cotter bin bender, and I can assure you I've never yet seen you bend one wrong. Keep up the high-quality cotter bin bending.

"Because who's gonna watch that? And uh, who would wanna watch that?" Eric, have you not met us??? šš

When I worked at an RV dealership, we had a Winnebago that had an electrical short.
Troubleshooting the dash, Winnebago had no electrical diagrams of the dashboard wiring and neither did Chevrolet who supplied the chassis for Winnebago to build on.
On top of that, when the mechanic pulled the dashboard, all the wires were purple in color!
A fun time was held by all!!!

Hats off to an actual troubleshooting mechanic! And your splicing is exactly how I do it - bare shiny copper, solid mechanical connection, 60/40 rosin core lead solder, marine grade heat shrink, black vinyl to secure the split loom, ensure it's not laying on top of your exhaust or hanging down to get snagged on a tree stump, etc. On weather connectors, I put a tiny smear of silicon grease just on the rubber water-keeper-outer gasket thing but definitely nothing on the pins/sockets themselves - just make sure they're not all green.

Iād watch this all day because itās what I used to do myself. You do your job the right way.

4 years of college, graduating as a master ASE cert mechanic. The Instructors regularly play your videos in their presentations for all the students. I, now happily have my own mobile auto repair business, and continue to watch all of your videos in my free time. My favorites are the electrical diagnostics. Amazing how much you know, how well you explain, and how great your videos are. Your nickname at my college is āSouth Main Wizardā. LOL. Anyway, everyone loves what you do, keep it up! We appreciate it.
