+SATAMAN Schmidt really appreciate the compliments. I try my best to keep him in the right path . But I'm lucky that he's such a great kid too. Happy thanksgiving!
You probably dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)
Thank you for the great lesson Keith and Rocco! I used to have my own shop, now i teach full time, and i learn full time on your channel! You are a great diagnostician and a greater teacher!
+Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics not only a logbook . But I've been buying back cores because he likes to keep the old parts because they're sentimental to him 😊
Another great video with Rocky. When that young man gets old enough to get his drivers license he will have no trouble repairing anything on his vehicle. Great job Dad. Plus even us old timers learned something.
Pete Miller that's awesome. It's hard to put it all into terms that I think he would understand , but in the end he got it ! Thanks for watching and commenting
Hello Kieth and Rock, good to see ya. I really enjoy seeing you guys. Kieth, you and your wife have done a great job with Rock, he is so bright, it makes me smile to watch him grow and learn. It gives me hope in these troubling times.Thanks for the videos.
This reminds me of me and my son. He is 4 but I’m the family’s mechanic and do all there work on my drive and he is always there helping. He has is own little cheap socket set and screwdrivers with a high viz, he seems to have a passion for it and enjoys it. I love every moment and if he wants to learn il teach him. Can’t beat these moments Keith enjoy them. Great video
Cool. You are making memories that will last him a lifetime. You also have legit teaching skills. A lot of people can diagnose and repair a voltage drop, but only a few have the soft skills to do what you did.
Love that picture. Simplifies & describes the topic really well. Reminds me of when my dad tried to explain electricity to me when I was a kid while working on his 1931 Model A he was restoring (built the same month & year he was born). Although you explained it waaaay better and he didn't have a fancy thermal imager. :-) You'll blow Rocko's mind when you tell him that the electrons actually flow the opposite direction _out_ of the negative terminal and in through the positive (Conventional Current vs Electron Flow).
If i had this video when i was learning this years ago i think i would of got so much quicker. I like the picture of the volts pushing the amp through the small wire. Great video bro!!
Also, the voltage regulator very likely was working much much harder, and being over stressed wearing it out, from having that much of a voltage drop for who only knows how long... so a full rebuild or replacement in the near future would definitely my recommendation to the customer when the budget allows it.
You have a passion for teaching and Rocco has a passion for learning. A pretty good pair I'd say. I'll tell you what, that little picture at the start of the video is one I'll never forget. :)
+wyattoneable that's perfect ! I love seeing people use it as a visual too. And thanks as always for the kind words brother . Hope to see you again soon
Voltage drop testing & showing the heat caused by a high resistance connection with thermal imaging...nice! I love my thermal imager and it speeds up finding battery draws and high resistance circuits along with a ton of other uses.
Very smart kid, if you go to any dealership in the states and ask a technician what that is, they’ll tell you that they are not really good at electronics but other than that, they can fix anything . Props to your kid, great job
My father was a mechanic back in the 50's. Owned his own Standard Oil service station. I wish I was older at the time so I could have learned from him like your son is learning from you.
I wish my father taught me stuff like that Keith! Sadly, he mostly taught me how 'not' to do things as he's a 'bush' mechanic at heart! Keep up the great work & 3 cheers for Rocco!!!
Fantastic lesson and I'm all caught up with your videos thanks Keith, I enjoy everyone of them. Get another one out at your pace and I'll wait for the bell to ring you when you have done so..
I like it.! good job with the kid. I'm 48 trying to learn how to read and understand electricity and wiring schematic. looking back I would rather be able to read and understand electrical systems then have a brand new tool set with all the little gadgets. great job
thats a much better analogy than the fat lady in the elevator lol. and that wasnt the new common core math !!!! rocco is lucky to have such a good teacher.
I really enjoy these videos with you and Rocco. They bring back good memories. I have 4 kids, my youngest is 19 and as you know it goes by fast. This kind of quality time is what it's all about IMHO. Guys like you, Eric O, Paul Danner etc set a great example as Dads as well as techs. You have inspired me to attempt to make a few vids with my grandson. You guys are making a difference for a lot of people. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos.
+Joe Mikos Absolutley worth every second of the video making process. I watch them myself because I love to watch his face and his ambition to learn. And honest to goodness , if it weren't for awesome comments like this is probably just keep these videos for myself. But if they help people and if it inspires it was all worth the sharing . Let me know when those videos come up !
Great father/son interaction Keith. Roc is a lucky boy to have such a doting father. Thanks guys! Oh, and sweet example of the value of the thermal camera!
+Baxrok2 I feel like the lucky one for sure . Yes a great kid and I don't mean that just because he's mine . But he has the biggest heart . And I can never show you and other how thankful I am that he gets to read great comments like yours to grow up with . Really means alot thank you
When my daughter was about Rocs age, I got her her own multimeter, taught her some basic electricity and a little trig. Last year she graduated from MIT, computer science engineer. Not bad for the daughter of a knuckle head NYC fireman.
John C its always good to plant a hope and a dream in kids mind its giving them the propelling motive for a successful life.. look at all the losers.. they got no map no destination
Joe Shearer auto ranging is to be used only if you're not sure what the voltage should be, but we all know a battery only put out around 15 volts max and that's hardly the number on most cars. It's usually 14.6
+ginuwine11 maybe automotive isn't the desire but whatever you find that you two can jive on, roll with it to the fullest. I know a guy who hated that his son did nothing but video games. He finally bought a pc and learned how to design games on his own so he could relate to his son better. That kid is somewhere in Cali right now on a scholarship for something related to that . There's always a common ground . I really appreciate you stopping in and watching. Hope you find that jive
So great to you see you teaching your son this stuff while learning still comes natural to him.... In my country, we have a great school system. A recent study shows that, by the age of 17, one's background doesn't matter anymore. Whether one's parents are on benifits or are the richest people in the country doesn't affect one's level of education, but there is a drawback: talent in anything but the arts gets stifled to a certain degree. Capable students are basically not allowed to race ahead of their peers.... I suffered greatly in this respect, experiencing school as total drudgery until, maybe, the last two years of highschool and then college, when things finally got challenging. As events transpired I don't have any kids of my own, but if I did, I'd either not put them through the drudgery that is primary and secundary school, or: I'd augment their eduction by bringing up and teaching 'real world' subjects much sooner than a 'let's boost the median' school system would. Just like you're doing and just like speaking multiple languages at home.
I was scoping a kia soul wire over plug system using a amp clamp at power wire and once in awhile the ramp would jump really high and bobble out half way through the dwell time what I'm I looking at and why is it jumping high and losing the ramp look thanks for your time
Regardless of the voltage drop, I would have replaced or rebuilt that alternator anyway just because it sounds like the bearings are beyond SHOT which may be allowing the rotor to contact the field windings if the bearing play is THAT bad...
+KillJD thanks very much. I'll support him no matter what he decides to do , but man he has a knack for learning this on the meantime .. I couldn't be prouder . Thanks for the kind words
+Matthew Shanahan Automotive Training Hey Matt, glad you stopped by . Yeah out of the hundred of students I've had , I'm pretty partial to this helper.😁 Very proud of my son
Great video thanks my friend. I like the way you are teaching Rocco. I like the father son time you to have together. I do have one question did the diodes in the alternator stop working or is it the wire?? I was tought alternator, diodes, regulator and then current to the battery am I lost?? Hot alternater is bad news. Keep up the great work bud I like the videos Rocco rules Great boy time well spent thanks
+Gene Mean yeah , we were in a little race against time , spent a little time teaching him to wrench while we were there swapping the alternator . But that was the boring part .
I'm trying to clarify what the problem is. I hear the alternator making a lot off noise. Now based on the video, the drop of voltage is what's causing the alternator to work harder and thus, more noise. Correct?why wouldn't u call the alternator bad?
+GTheGreat1 The voltage drop at the connection of positive cable to the alternator lug is the failure . Causing the alternator to overwork. The alternator and cable were both replaced in this case. However this was more a video about understanding voltage drop as I teach my son . Thanks for watching, and hope you got something out of it. Feel free to ask any questions
I have saved a funner picture of the ohms law squeeze/ pusher. Tell the kid if nothing is marked, the ground on the battery usually has a little wire attached to the body to ground when its not marked. Used to jump some ghetto cars, nothing was marked not even the battery had markings on some ?? Battery that was on it. Well probably was marked but the funk on the battery was disgusting
We had to get Fluke 87 meters at school. Its the best! 10 years old now. The teacher we had sucked I finally taught myself about near alll its functions a few years ago. What sucks is that it has no amp clamp. :( It only can take like 10 amps max
Sorry to hear that. I do appreciate the compliment. And I also hope you can find a way to use your experience to help someone. Mentor programs are everywhere and always looking for new people.
+chungaleta1234 For free no less . All I can hope is that those kids find their way to the right TH-cam channels like Danner and SMA and others to help them find some new direction of what this industry could be . Always appreciate all your input and support brother
I never understood modern day teaching. The certificate you need is to show you know how to teach. Not to show you know the info you are teaching. Why not have an expert on the subject with real life experience teach you!
I actually went to school, we had guys there passing the class that couldn't find a skip WITH a scope. They had no problem passing the written tests, just didn't know how to apply it.
Using the trusty "TestLight" could be Abolished? A Chevy tech rep visited the shop and announced, these newer car's (2018+) computers will get internal damage if a "test light" is used during troubleshooting because of a design change . What have you heard about this?
I work on new vehicles daily here at over 22 collision shops. Not one indication yet that a test light will cause damage in any way shape or form. Remember to know the circuit. If I'm using a test lamp that draws 150ma would I want to use it to probe a feed that usually only handles 20ma? Of course not. So much of it goings into knowing the design. When I don't know I won't guess. I go to www.sae.org and have purchased engineering papers for things . Makes it easier to work on things when you have a leg to stand on.

+SATAMAN Schmidt really appreciate the compliments. I try my best to keep him in the right path . But I'm lucky that he's such a great kid too. Happy thanksgiving!
@@NewLevelAuto he is a great kid because you are making him so.
"Apples don't fall far from the tree"
👍🏻
Yes, and make sure you start at early age before your kid gets its hands on a computer games.
You probably dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last weeks =)
@Damon Ahmir Yup, been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
Great gift Keith for Rocco, one that will last a life time! Thanks for sharing, Sandy

I have saved a funner picture of the ohms law squeeze/ pusher. Tell the kid if nothing is marked, the ground on the battery usually has a little wire attached to the body to ground when its not marked. Used to jump some ghetto cars, nothing was marked not even the battery had markings on some ?? Battery that was on it. Well probably was marked but the funk on the battery was disgusting
Ghetto Wagon yup and we even went over how to use the meter to identify polarity as well. Thanks as always for the support
We had to get Fluke 87 meters at school. Its the best! 10 years old now. The teacher we had sucked I finally taught myself about near alll its functions a few years ago. What sucks is that it has no amp clamp. :( It only can take like 10 amps max
Thermal imager for the win
+PSK PERFORMANCE 10 yr old gained knowledge for the win 😁
New Level Auto true. But since I just Got an imager 3 days ago I'm excited to see it in use !
Great job Professor Keith.. you had a great student.. Did your student leave you an apple?? loool
aengmax nope , but his mother made me an apple pie 😋. Thanks as always for the support
Just remember this little ditty:
Twinkle twinkle little star
P = I^2 R
Up above the world so high
P = V times I
+opl500 I like that 👍
I have that digital volt meter. It's great lil meter.
Best father ever. my father didnt know or care about cars at all. Also he sucked at being parent !!
Sorry to hear that. I do appreciate the compliment. And I also hope you can find a way to use your experience to help someone. Mentor programs are everywhere and always looking for new people.
I dont have the skill for that and I am still in college
my father bought me a can opener when I was 14 and some pabsts
Ad yet they don't let you teach at the institutes because you are not "Certified as a teacher" Those are the things I will never understand
+chungaleta1234 For free no less . All I can hope is that those kids find their way to the right TH-cam channels like Danner and SMA and others to help them find some new direction of what this industry could be . Always appreciate all your input and support brother
I never understood modern day teaching. The certificate you need is to show you know how to teach. Not to show you know the info you are teaching. Why not have an expert on the subject with real life experience teach you!
m ph .. That is why society is what it is today. The best value of human race is missing. Good ducation is the foundation on every successful society
I still don't understand that either.
I actually went to school, we had guys there passing the class that couldn't find a skip WITH a scope. They had no problem passing the written tests, just didn't know how to apply it.
Awesome ❤
he wants a pico for his next birthday!
+Shandybrother 🙈🙉 holy moly , trying to put me in the poor house already? Lol
Shandybrother - I’d gladly take his dads hand me downs 😁
Very neat illustration
And hey Rocco.
Richard Gill Roc says hey right back , and thanks as always for all the support and your comment
Hey! How's it going?
Fantastic video!! :D
Thanks, learnt a lot
Sounds like a supercharged Subaru.
Using the trusty "TestLight" could be Abolished? A Chevy tech rep visited the shop and announced, these newer car's (2018+) computers will get internal damage if a "test light" is used during troubleshooting because of a design change . What have you heard about this?
I work on new vehicles daily here at over 22 collision shops. Not one indication yet that a test light will cause damage in any way shape or form. Remember to know the circuit. If I'm using a test lamp that draws 150ma would I want to use it to probe a feed that usually only handles 20ma? Of course not. So much of it goings into knowing the design. When I don't know I won't guess. I go to www.sae.org and have purchased engineering papers for things . Makes it easier to work on things when you have a leg to stand on.
@@NewLevelAuto Thank you for educating me on this info.
Wow, wish I had that good of an understanding of ohm's law when i was that age! Great job! 👍
+billie smith me too !! Thanks for watching
