The sarcasm is unreal. As a technician who is going back to school for a stem degree I appreciate your Channel and humor. May the scientific method and sarcasm guide you.
those tubs at the end, priceless. might as well ask the parts counter people for advise. i've been there.. my family does it that way. their go to is always a fuel filter, plugs and wires. i've even changed out a fuel pump on a car that i knew was good just to prove a point to my father inlaw. now he doesn't question me under the hood. admittedly i never figured out the very rare and random stall that thing had. it was a $350 car that replaced a free car i also had to fix. well close to free made a couple MINOR fixes, cv shaft, brake pads, valve pan gasket and re wired the plug wires where a family member screwed them up. less than a day's work. got sideways there, i've always been against fixing what's not broken. i've been wrenching since i could drive and literally a self taught person. just bought a manual and went at it. i've been the parts cannon guy. those days are at an end. bought a graphing scanner and been learning this stuff. i can atleast carry a conversation with people having knowledge and see what the likely issue is on the trims. i just want to say thanks for putting the info out there.
Yeah when I was a kid every parts store clerk was ASE certified. Now they are a bunch of teenagers who spend more time checking their tattoos in the mirror than helping.
I've just got the web address for the wiring diagrams ,back and forth and now you say it's not available 🐓. I like your boxes,true! I spent yesterday evening "researching" how to fit an adjustable clutch without the special tool, because it said on the box I need one. I woke up in the middle of the night with the realization I didn't need one coz my pressure plate wasn't proud! Swines
Praying on the unknowledable public is how how Chrysler has stayed in business for the last 35 years,it's not a strategy I'd use but it appears to work somewhat for them
I am a young auto mechanic from Canada and watch your channel often. I particularly like your tip, tricks and hacks videos, (the DLC connector tied to the key is something I never thought of) :). Your other videos explaining concepts such as fuel trim, voltage drop etc. are also very clear. For a DIY, I honestly think you are well ahead of many so-called "professional" auto mechanics. Wayyyyy to many guys go the parts-changing route. Thanks for your content and dedication to diagnostics. I like working with certainty and not by means of "plug and pray".
I have a fingernail trick. It works for conventional dirt (soil); haven't tried auto dirt yet. Just spray directly under your nails with a garden hose. That's it. I can get my nails 100% clean in 5 seconds.
There are some really great tips here - such a valuable series of videos. The 'Kilmer Lucky Dip' had me in stitches! The lengths you'll go to for a capital piece of piss-taking. lol
@@SchrodingersBox no i totally get it.. But he does what he loves and im sure he is happy and his customers are happy... To each his own buddy. His videos are filled with lots of info that help ppl not get scammed and so forth. But okay. Enjoy your pedestal.
@@alexnano4146 Its not a pedastal. It's a position. If you call it a pedestal merely because it is above ignorance, that's fine but I will always choose a path of painful truth over blissful ignorance all day. That's just me.
I have a great hack for lowering the spare on trucks, use the jack. slide the jack underneath the side of the spare, raise the jack so that you can lower the tire about half way down, while it's there you can drop the cable while it has no tension easier and then drop the jack with the tire on it and roll it out . no wrestling or struggling to lift just slide it out using the jack
Very funny! I'm a huge believer in practicing diagnosis always even if it means taking time to learn something new on the clock like a ninja. You just earned yourself a subscriber keep those parts can and jokes coming!! :-)
That last bit about the rando parts box was the best. :D I remember when I was first starting out turning wrenches, and all of the guys would tell me to just replace X part. While not ONE person would ever say, why not use a OHM meter on it first, or invest in a power probe, or learn how to read schematics.... Sigh, if I could only go back in time.
Here in canada, hockey pucks are plentiful, we have used them for numerous things other than chasing around the ice Great tip on the bar soap under the fingernails, gonna try that tomorrow lol Further to your slip on shoes trick and running inside to the bathroom, I always hang on to empty vinegar/anti freez containers etc and keep one handy to prevent that trip into the house
There is such a thing as a nail brush. I think they sell them at Dollar Tree for $1. That or your trick is an idea that should be shared with most of the cooking channels on TH-cam. Almost hilarious that a mechanic is concerned about dirt under his nails when few of the chefs are. Bon appetit!
If you don't have a spare hockey puck lying around (I certainly don't), you can buy rubber jack adapters like that for very little. I don't know why they are not supplied as standard, since the alternative is a ruined sill.
Thank you, more essential tips and advice for us diyer's priced out of reasonably maintaining our car's and more! The amount of pieces of equipment i have fashioned from good but unused materials has literally saved me a fortune, thank you again! :)
Absolutely so correct with the parts lucky dip for parts dippy dippers. Thanks for the sensible suggestions. I am in Australia, and with the 2% rule, that makes only 2 people here in this country are like you, I am one , hope the other is watching this channel. Looking forward to your future videos.
I would like to see a Tips and Tricks part 4 video with information about what you're using for getting diagnostic and service information to repair your vehicles. I'm a part time mechanic and only work on a couple cars a week. I had been using ALLDataDIY but I just went to their site today and the pricing went up from $15.95 per year for a vehicle to $19.99 per month. I'm at a loss for affordable forms of service information and I'm sure there are others in a similar situation to the one I'm in. I can't really afford to pay $180+ per month for the volume of work I do. Thanks again for all of your awesome content!!!!
Hi Matt, I'm a new subscriber and have a story. bear with me it might be a little long. I build homes, I do the wood framing. We build the wood structure here in So. Cal. Well, years ago when we got up to building the roof structure I would get a big block of wood. A 2x8 or a 2x10 block of wood. I would then sit down with my calculator and start peramulating all the different length's of all the pieces of wood. ( Rafters, Hips, Valleys, Rafter jacks ect....) After I had all my numbers documented, I would take my sharpie or magic marker and label that block of wood---- THE Tablet of Knowledge!! That term became very famous in my neck of the woods. Needless to say I never in a bizzilion years expected another person to use that term. But..... You have the white board of knowledge!! Very cool. I guess it's a small world! I'm learning tons from your videos. Brian
Hey im almost completely new to mechanics and everything in a car looks like random tubes and things that lead to nowhere but im slowly getting better and your videos really help me understand things better thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching!! My videos are probably not best for beginners though, i usually focus on more advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting but hopefully you still get some value from it.
Yes but I had some people give me notice that they no longer provide the service as of about a week ago :-( If that's true I am in trouble- I used it all the time!!!
I mentioned it a lot on my paid channel where we cover hot to use wiring diagrams a lot. However I have had some viewers tell me that as of just last week, BBB no longer makes the diagrams available???
@@SchrodingersBox Hey Matt, just wanted to make a note that I can still get the wiring diagrams, but you must register now to get them. I noticed too that some commenters mentioned that they couldn't get them because of where they live. I'm not sure about that but in the U.S., they work fine for me. Have a good one!
I was so excited, but I created an account twice, and can't get logged in. First I get a message saying my registration was successful, Then I get messages saying my username and/or password is/are incorrect. : (
@@SchrodingersBox Don´t worried Maat, the langue spanis is very dificult learn because have a very much verbs times and forms, thanks for visit my channel a big hug.
Hello Matt, I just want to say that your videos are very helpful. I am also an addict with almost 2 years sobriety. I used the same...thank god I am better now. I will sure ly subscribe and support your channel.
You probably have covered this... Your most important tester is between your ears! Code says miss #4 cylinder, "Intermittent" and and everything looks good, and not missing now. Swap plug with #3, wire w/ #2, coil w/ #1. Clear codes and drive until light re-appears. Change the part moved to the "New"offending cylinder. If still #4, consider injector.
That is exactly the way I did it before I bought an oscilloscope. Either way- its scientific. Rule out variables until the independent variable is found and then validate the effect of that variable to confirm.
@@SchrodingersBox Yes, I totally agree. 55 years ago, before smog, I thought I had made the big leagues when I got a dwell meter and a timing light. No more using a feeler gauge and a tachometer to set points and timing. After completing the IGO Mechanics
Apprenticeship program, I've worked my way up to retirement. I still own a complete shop full of special tools, like a Snap-on Verus. But, it is still what's between our ears that separates the men from the boys, right?
I was half expecting to see Killy jump out of the box (Scotty in the Box.....)....or the box doing a burn out down the street.... REV UP YOUR PARTS CANNON!!!
Got to get a pair of those 'anti divorce' shoes, also love the soap idea. Always start out with gloves but they soon rip and before I can get a new pair on, oil everywhere. Love your humour too, though the 88%ers will now be searching e-bay for those boxes.
I have 1 tip and 1 trick/hack..... Tip: try washing your hands with liquid laundry soap ( with oxi works best) it's absolutely amazing how great it works and skin feels good afterwards too! And for the trick/hack... Just trick someone from AutoZone to "fix" the car before hand.... By the time they give up you can automatically rule out the new O2 sensors, battery, alternator, maf, purge valve, the 2nd and 3rd sets of O2 sensors and 3 gas caps lol
And as for the box method, have you got those charts in a pdf you could make available? Do you have a list of all the parts needed or possible for every error code? To avoid buying so many boxes, can I just take take the list of possible parts for an error code to Autozone when I see that code? That way, I push the storage of the parts off on them, and I only have to buy parts for each code I see. Efficiency is the key to saving money and effort.
The first video of yours that I watched I understood the connection between you and your name (schrodingers box). To me it's a practical joke on scientist's whether the cat is dead or alive. They don't know, they can only guess, much like the 98% they say it's both..........dead and alive LOL. To me the name fits perfect with your sense of irony and sarcasm. I don't know if this is what you were going for, just how I see it. Also, shame on you! You got me with the box's!! I really thought a terrific hack was coming.........I should have known LOL
Thanks Terry!! Things are going well and I am continuing to jam with electrical on my pay channel!! NPN and PNP transistors are coming up next in fact!!! Thanks to you, now that I have the fundamentals down, the rest comes much easier!!!
Hahahahaha. i tried to find something that would work as a cannon but didn’t have anything so the box was best i could think of. I should have pulled a dead cat from it tho lol.
I saw many good tips, a few of which I will use, thank you. I like your box at the end. I think that would be a great Identifix subscription replacement for DIY guys. You have a good imagination Matt.
If you decide to make a Part 4, here's a hack you can try and see if you think it is useful. For stripped out bolt threads, you can either spend your lunch money on a package of helicoils, or you can use several strands of copper wire laid out crossing the bolt hole in various angles, insert the bolt, and it will tighten up with the copper forming into what remains of the grooves...you'll still get to eat lunch that day!
To add to your fingernail tip (punnnnnnnnnnnn). Vaseline on your hands will ensure they will come clean afterwards. It fills in the cracks and crevasses so the dirt and grease doesn't.
Mr Cats... that presentation was epic as usual... im concerned with the end hack tho... i mean.. OFFICIALLY... that was Not a box... more of a TUB, you could agree... however the TITLE of the boxtub fits its intended reference - quite well... 😆.. you're great man, learned tons from you
@@SchrodingersBox ... yessir... id love More of your experiences with these Tubs... maybe, when you get a customer complaint in.. you could start your diag with a Tub assessment.. lay the fix out on the table.. then do what you do.. would be a great watch.. cheers man
Hey matt, hope all is well, love your videos, oh, and I had another friend complain about a "silent noise" coming from his brakes..not another one..🤣🤣🤣

If you have a broken hard disk drive you can get two strong magnets and a mirror (the platter) that won't break when you drop it.
Great information, Thank you!!
Learn a lot, thanks！👍👍👍
Good to see u again hope to see a few more video much appreciated if u can all the best
Will use the soap hack.
YESSIR! welcome "back" !!
If you decide to make a Part 4, here's a hack you can try and see if you think it is useful. For stripped out bolt threads, you can either spend your lunch money on a package of helicoils, or you can use several strands of copper wire laid out crossing the bolt hole in various angles, insert the bolt, and it will tighten up with the copper forming into what remains of the grooves...you'll still get to eat lunch that day!
Great hack! Yes I have tried that before and it works great!!!
To add to your fingernail tip (punnnnnnnnnnnn). Vaseline on your hands will ensure they will come clean afterwards. It fills in the cracks and crevasses so the dirt and grease doesn't.
Makes sense to me. Over the years I've had more vaseline on my fingertips than I care to disclose.
Mr Cats... that presentation was epic as usual... im concerned with the end hack tho... i mean.. OFFICIALLY... that was Not a box... more of a TUB, you could agree... however the TITLE of the boxtub fits its intended reference - quite well... 😆.. you're great man, learned tons from you
Thanks- and actually you have a point on the tub PLUS if you think about it, the "Kilmore The Car Guy TUB" sounds way better.
@@SchrodingersBox ... yessir... id love More of your experiences with these Tubs... maybe, when you get a customer complaint in.. you could start your diag with a Tub assessment.. lay the fix out on the table.. then do what you do.. would be a great watch.. cheers man
I still chuckle when I get a notification for the “Welfare Channel”... keep up the great work.

Hey matt, hope all is well, love your videos, oh, and I had another friend complain about a "silent noise" coming from his brakes..not another one..🤣🤣🤣
