In case anyone is wondering what's wrong with 2:55, he has the ground hooked to the neutral terminal, the neutral hooked to the hot terminal, and the hot hooked to the ground terminal! Not to mention the sh*tty wiring job on the ground wire.
To be fair, working on cars has nothing to do with residential electrical work. I would have to look up the correct pin out for a NEMA 5-15 plug too, since, as an auto tech, its not something that I need to know. That said, the person who did the wiring probably should have looked it up.

In the UK and Hong Kong we have to have ALL cars undergo a vehicle safety inspection each year when the car reaches 3 years of age (MOT). Only with that can you get insurance and tax.. How does the US not have the same? Most of the cars I see on this channel would be immediately impounded as unsafe to drive (which they all are). Nuts,,,,
For this, you can think of the US as 50 separate countries that all have their own ideas on how things should be done. Some states have mandatory safety inspections. Some states only check emissions. Some states leave it up to their individual counties to make the decision. Some states have no inspection requirements at all.
My state doesn't do safety inspections on passenger cars. They only do it for commercial vehicles. They also don't do emissions testing on cars that are 25 years old or older so you see a lot of older cars on the road even though they would totally fail emissions and safety inspections.
The requirement varies by state. I live in a state that requires annual safety inspections from day one. But, there are a lot of 'farm use only' vehicles shambling about in this area too. Not the special-purpose farm equipment, although there's that too. Any vehicle with an owner who claims "I use it on the farm, and only run it into town for gas and chicken feed" doesn't need registration or inspection. Or professional repair. Just insurance.

Seat belt at 1:50 is because the tensioner deployed. Belt and probably control unit (sensors) need to be replaced. It's been in an accident and not fixed properly.
Right off the bat, I was a mechanic for many years and in that time had 1 cable snap on me but happened 3 other times in the shop before I left that place and I will say it was a huge dealership with over 50 lifts. It happens more often than you think
I did fix a leak in a metal power steering line with some metal line and two compression fittings once. Never leaked and was there when I sold the car five years later.
I've had a cable snap on a lift. The locks saved my life. It was definitely a pucker moment! I'm anal about checking my lifts ever since that happened. A LOT of shops do NOT maintain their lifts, so be careful out there boys and girls!!
0:17 this is WHY, every year you inspect the cables and every 5 you change them. A few doubloons worth of cable VS however much it costs to fix all that mess, and that's IF (knock on wood) IF, it doesn't do you damaged. Also, when you buy an old lift, change the cables. Don't even look at them. Change them. Not worth it otherwise.

0:44 - Honestly, if you have a hose that needs a "trail fix" so you can drive it to the shop, putting a larger hose over the leak and sealing with clamps like that actually does work to keep you from getting stranded. Works on home plumbing too if you have a leak in a pipe. TEMPORARY fix.
A dealership did that to me as a permanent fix without telling me. While having some other work done (it was a rare instance I didn't have time to do it myself), I left the hose I bought and was going to replace in the car and wrote on the drop off note to have them change it (mine was leaking). There is a special wrench needed to get the fittings off the rack I didn't have and it's hard to get them off without it so I figured I'd have them do it while they had it in for other stuff, knowing it would cost extra. Anyway, they tell me it's ready and had added about $5 in parts because there was a fitting needed to attach my new hose. I thought that was strange because I never have fitment problems like that with the aftermarket stuff I buy, but I get in and have no power steering. If you gave it a little gas it would start working right until you slowed down. The service manager said it probably had a little air that would work its way out and the guy that worked on it said he sees it sll the time and it's a sign the pump is going bad even though I've never had issues except the leak. There was nothing more they would do so I left and made it across town, stopped for gas and decided to check the fluid level. The cap exploded off from the pressure almost like a hot radiator cap, it had been filled to the brim. I bought a turkey baster at the store next to the gas station and sucked half a quart of fluid out and all of the sudden the power steering worked totally fine. I got home and called back and told ther service manager what i found, loudly. He apologized but offered no remedy. About 6 months later I noticed the old hose was cut about an inch away from the fittings on the rack because the mechanic didn't want to take the time to access the fittings. Instead, he had installed hose barbs and worm drive hose clamps where he cut the old line and spliced it to my new line I bought. That was the extra few dollars they charged me. It was too late to do anything about it, but it kept me from going back to them.
I didn't know it was possible for cars to get moldy until this channel came along. Must be a humid climate thing? Because I've seen some NASTY cars here in the west, but never once saw mold growing
I've seen it happen here in Western Washington. Generally, damp in cool weather and a closed-up car with cloth upholstery will get a coating of mold within a couple of months.
The number 1 cause of mold in cars is not from humidity. It's from leaking sunroofs. Even though sunroofs have drains that can be cleaned out hardly anyone cleans them out and even if they do the rubber seals still leak as they age. This is why I always avoid buying any car that has a sunroof. They make the car weaker in a crash and eventually they all start to leak water into the car.
@@Calc_Ulator A sunroof is literally a hole in your roof. The IIHS has a lab test showing the fact that sunroofs weaken the "safety cage". Depending on the car and obviously the severity of the crash this doesn't mean it'll make much of any difference in personal injury, but it most certainly can.

IOW, when the back was full of trash they'd power to the rear then slide forward again to make more room! For some reason it didn't smell too bad... go figure.
How do people get that much trash in their car without getting pulled over?! At that point it is literally illegal because it's obstructing your view! The only trash I let build up in my car is receipts and straw wrappers, and even then I clean them out every few days to a couple weeks.
Here in Ohio, as long as one of the wheels, with or without a tire, is touching the ground at any time, it's legal. And, no, it isn't a requirement that it has to be the same wheel/tire in any given moment.

Most hoists use a cable just to synchronize the lift/lower, not to actually lift the vehicle. The one in the video was probably a cheap one that used a single ram and cables to connect to it, probably wasn't really rated to lift that truck, and probably hadn't been inspected since it was installed.
2:09 so the body shop did their repair, but didn’t diagnose or estimate that it needed a passengers front seatbelt. Obviously the tensioner detonated in it.

I absolutely didn't get what was the complaint. The customer asks to inspect the rear tire and if an issue were to be found call with estimates before proceeding. Maybe I didn't get something?
@@explainedgmod IF the barring where shot then the tire would shake if you kicked the tire while it's parked.

The 2018 Tacoma-- "I didn't get it fixed, and now it's worse! WTF?!" Well, yeah, Customer. Something like that needs to be trimmed out, sprayed with iodine, and wrapped with salicylic acid. Maybe get a block put on the inner claw. Should heal up on its own in a couple weeks.
Oh, wait, you drive *a car*. Not known for their self-healing properties, right?
This guy knows hoof 🥶🔥
had to LOL at the Tacoma .. shop diagnosed bad wheel bearing , cust said too expensive & kept using car .. 1 week later car towed in .. now a repair bill at least 3 times as much ... was the customer hoping the car would fix itself ??
Looking at how shiny where the wheel would have mounted, it seems like "He knew a guy who could do it cheaper".
why pay 100 now when you can pay 1000 later

It's bizarre to me that apparently no one who watches these videos understands the concept of poor people...

7:45 "Customer declined all repairs, drove it home like this." 💀
I wonder how many times "I'll fix it myself" really means "I'm gonna pretend nothing's wrong and hope it goes away." Turning up the radio helps too.
Seat belt at 1:50 is because the tensioner deployed. Belt and probably control unit (sensors) need to be replaced. It's been in an accident and not fixed properly.
How close were they?
Right off the bat, I was a mechanic for many years and in that time had 1 cable snap on me but happened 3 other times in the shop before I left that place and I will say it was a huge dealership with over 50 lifts. It happens more often than you think
loved the no windshield one.. wipers, yay right!
I did fix a leak in a metal power steering line with some metal line and two compression fittings once. Never leaked and was there when I sold the car five years later.

I've had a cable snap on a lift. The locks saved my life. It was definitely a pucker moment! I'm anal about checking my lifts ever since that happened. A LOT of shops do NOT maintain their lifts, so be careful out there boys and girls!!
0:17 this is WHY, every year you inspect the cables and every 5 you change them. A few doubloons worth of cable VS however much it costs to fix all that mess, and that's IF (knock on wood) IF, it doesn't do you damaged. Also, when you buy an old lift, change the cables. Don't even look at them. Change them. Not worth it otherwise.
Its dabloons not doubloons

Hoarding is a symptom of a very bad mental state. I feel sorry for that person, they are having a hard life.
0:44 - Honestly, if you have a hose that needs a "trail fix" so you can drive it to the shop, putting a larger hose over the leak and sealing with clamps like that actually does work to keep you from getting stranded. Works on home plumbing too if you have a leak in a pipe. TEMPORARY fix.
A dealership did that to me as a permanent fix without telling me.
While having some other work done (it was a rare instance I didn't have time to do it myself), I left the hose I bought and was going to replace in the car and wrote on the drop off note to have them change it (mine was leaking). There is a special wrench needed to get the fittings off the rack I didn't have and it's hard to get them off without it so I figured I'd have them do it while they had it in for other stuff, knowing it would cost extra.
Anyway, they tell me it's ready and had added about $5 in parts because there was a fitting needed to attach my new hose. I thought that was strange because I never have fitment problems like that with the aftermarket stuff I buy, but I get in and have no power steering. If you gave it a little gas it would start working right until you slowed down. The service manager said it probably had a little air that would work its way out and the guy that worked on it said he sees it sll the time and it's a sign the pump is going bad even though I've never had issues except the leak.
There was nothing more they would do so I left and made it across town, stopped for gas and decided to check the fluid level. The cap exploded off from the pressure almost like a hot radiator cap, it had been filled to the brim. I bought a turkey baster at the store next to the gas station and sucked half a quart of fluid out and all of the sudden the power steering worked totally fine.
I got home and called back and told ther service manager what i found, loudly. He apologized but offered no remedy. About 6 months later I noticed the old hose was cut about an inch away from the fittings on the rack because the mechanic didn't want to take the time to access the fittings. Instead, he had installed hose barbs and worm drive hose clamps where he cut the old line and spliced it to my new line I bought. That was the extra few dollars they charged me. It was too late to do anything about it, but it kept me from going back to them.
2:53 So THAT's the guy from another shop!! :O
I didn't know it was possible for cars to get moldy until this channel came along. Must be a humid climate thing? Because I've seen some NASTY cars here in the west, but never once saw mold growing
I've seen it happen here in Western Washington. Generally, damp in cool weather and a closed-up car with cloth upholstery will get a coating of mold within a couple of months.
Often the mold is from water floods, leaving windows open for long periods of time in the rain.
The number 1 cause of mold in cars is not from humidity. It's from leaking sunroofs. Even though sunroofs have drains that can be cleaned out hardly anyone cleans them out and even if they do the rubber seals still leak as they age. This is why I always avoid buying any car that has a sunroof. They make the car weaker in a crash and eventually they all start to leak water into the car.
@@Prepare2Survive "They make the car weaker in a crash"
ROFL tell me you have no idea what the hell you're saying...
@@Calc_Ulator A sunroof is literally a hole in your roof. The IIHS has a lab test showing the fact that sunroofs weaken the "safety cage". Depending on the car and obviously the severity of the crash this doesn't mean it'll make much of any difference in personal injury, but it most certainly can.
"tell me you have no idea what the hell you're saying..."
0:50 I do not hope anyone is using water for the power steering.. They could get a surprise when the water freeze.

Dropbox, so probably late and the customer probably had a long day and night, maybe been up for a long time. I'd forgive this one because one time I was super beyond tired, wrote a note to someone, it made sense when I was writing it, next morning after waking up, it didn't make any lick of sense at all. It was something like "oH jop tire an yess". Not everyone is at their best when overtired and possibly delirious.
I actually understood it. The mechanic needs to check the wheel bearings and ball joints.

@@KevinMaxwell-o3t I thought you had hosers, not losers.
Going back a few years ago (early 70s) I recall having a customer who had one of those full size MOPARs and they used the electric bench seat as a garbage compactor. IOW, when the back was full of trash they'd power to the rear then slide forward again to make more room! For some reason it didn't smell too bad... go figure.
How do people get that much trash in their car without getting pulled over?! At that point it is literally illegal because it's obstructing your view! The only trash I let build up in my car is receipts and straw wrappers, and even then I clean them out every few days to a couple weeks.
Here in Ohio, as long as one of the wheels, with or without a tire, is touching the ground at any time, it's legal. And, no, it isn't a requirement that it has to be the same wheel/tire in any given moment.

Ridiculous
It blows my mind that the amount of drivers that use rope and zip ties to secure the tie rods or shocks.
My old Mohawk lift has no cables and is built like a forklift mast. So far so good.
(cables are for rigging and skidding)
Most hoists use a cable just to synchronize the lift/lower, not to actually lift the vehicle.
The one in the video was probably a cheap one that used a single ram and cables to connect to it, probably wasn't really rated to lift that truck, and probably hadn't been inspected since it was installed.
6:47 : "Truck's haunted."
2:09 so the body shop did their repair, but didn’t diagnose or estimate that it needed a passengers front seatbelt. Obviously the tensioner detonated in it.

2:14 not sure what's not clear. The guy likely has barring problems or the axle has loosened from the car, etc.
I absolutely didn't get what was the complaint. The customer asks to inspect the rear tire and if an issue were to be found call with estimates before proceeding. Maybe I didn't get something?
@@explainedgmod IF the barring where shot then the tire would shake if you kicked the tire while it's parked. Well, kicked it on the outside (tread) and not the center. since there are lots of things that can cause that wobble the cost to fix would be different. From tightening the lug nuts to writing off the car So he wants an estimate. Any mechanic should know this.
Never ceases to amaze. It is almost as though these vehicle owners went to some awful school to learn how to totally screw up their vehicles. And then....and then....they refuse service and limp away. YIKES !
