What I meant was for my personal interests and in general things I enjoy watching, this channel has me hooked like no other that I've watched in recent years. There are a lot of very good channels I watch for very different content, not just car stuff, but for me after watching a couple of videos the hype just dies down very fast and I just stop watching that channel in general, but this one is different, at least for now, I've watched every video so far and have very much enjoyed them. We'll see if that stays true in the long run, but at least for now it seems so, for me at least. Sorry for the long monologue.

      ​​@@GSBarlevThe lion was tortured and the Golden Eagle is actually a. Red Tailed Hawk isn't it because eagles rarely make noise and when they do it's more of a squawk or a beaking sound.
      I'll also add there's no such thing as Slow motion audio. Audio comes in sound waves and they cannot be slowed down so what people do is alter the original audio or substitute with something else. In older movies this was mostly record a scratch sound returning to original sound and now it's all substitute audio design.
      Most singers use extreme amounts of auto tune and studio editing because artists like a Miley Cyrus have the voice of a waffle house waitress. And pretty much every conceivable rhythm has been made so nearly all music is sampling older music, similarly to how birds pass songs through generation.
      Some of the most common sound effects in production are bell peppers, celery breaking, glass breaking ,explosions, gunshots, birds and ambiences, tomatoes bring eaten.

    Yo! We had a super similar issue to the one at 10:20. One of our oldest customers had a Ducati 999 with 90,000 miles (dude was awesome). He had lowsided around 10,000 miles on the left side of the bike, where the ECU and main wiring harness are. around 80,000 miles the bike started randomly shutting down on him. We noticed on a test ride that the exhaust was LEAKING GAS. Pulled off the air ducts and the injectors would just lock wide open randomly and spray fuel in like a fire hose.
    It turned out that all those years ago the crank position sensor wire got pinched and had been corroding for all those years. Normally that might show up as an ignition issue, because it is the crank sensor. The triple 9 was batch fire though, so, they use the CPS for fuel as well and don't have a cam position sensor (1/2 the fuel every time the crank goes around). Replaced the wires and connector with a plug from a scrap harness we had (2021 Diavel had the same plug coincidentally) and the dude was on the road again.

    The truck one depending on how old the truck is mentioned in the video could be a spinning s,cam inside the brake drum lining. I have had a similar thing although it wasn't that aggressive. And it was a jumping/spinning s cam.
    They are what pushes the brake pads into the linings and cause of the s shape they sometimes let go so you get the s flattening out which in turn back pressures the pedal with air..
    Maybe..

    Regarding the XMax dash; a friend drove home to LA from SF going too fast for his his car. When he turned the car off at home, everything kept going, the dash lights came on, the headlight came on, and the engine didn't turn off. Turns out the regulator on the alternator failed and was over charging the battery and apparently, anything that had a capacitor got a boost too.

      Juat gonna see alot of videos or reverse engineer what could cause the issues. Most of the time it's something simple, I work on my own cars & bikes. Saves me money & I know it's done right. I do things by the book which would cost alot of money, done my own fork seals, bearings, wiring, oil changes, problem finding ect. It's like therapy for me, I have worked on other poeples cars / bikes but doesn't feel same. Not as satisfying, anyone can learn but you have to be willing to learn. Figuring out what's the issue is the hardest part. Taking things apart & buying new things is easy. Knowing smells, sounds, touch (vibrations ect), then your eyes for visual problems. A master will know exactly what's up just by a smell or point them in the right direction.
      Which does take alot of knowledge. There is simple smells like your clutch, breaks, fluid. It only looks easy when they point it out but took them years at least for me to figure out why those things were happening. Then people wonder why they're so expensive, it's just like a doctor... they'll give you Antibiotics to fight the infection. Ones that will kill the bad bacteria the fastest, might of only been a 10min appointment but you paid lets say 250. You pay for their knowledge, not the time spent. Just some people don't understand this. It's one of the reasons why I don't wanna be a mechanic as people always would fight me about the price so it's just a headache & they won't understand anyway.
      making sure your vehicles are serviced & replace the used parts when needed. Using the correct oil ect is how you keep your motor happy. Otherwise if you neglect it, it'll fall apart. I do all that myself as it's pretty simple, only things I wouldn't touch is the engine valve clearance ect. Rather pay the money and get it done right.

If something stumps her, she pauses and thinks for a bit and comes up with the most logical and plausible assessment to what might have caused the issue. She's not recalling her previous work experiences and blurt out the fix she applied, but she's really trying to figure out what parts are supposed to do what, and what effects might that have been if that part was defective. She demonstrates that understanding very well, and I know I'm in good hands if Angela is working on my car.

    I used to manage a gas station and we had a VERY new tank driver deliver fuel to our store. He dumped 7000 gallons of diesel in one of my 12000 gallon gasoline tanks and DIDN'T TELL ANYONE. Within the first 6 hours we had over a dozen complaints. There ended up being nearly 60 people affected. The fuel company's insurance paid for all the repairs but it affected people's trust of my station for a months.
    Supposedly the driver said he "couldn't find" our diesel tanks to fill (either he parked on top of the cover and didn't want to move or did not look for it). For those who don't know, generally, the covers to the tanks are color coded. So he knew he was dumping in the wrong tank.

    My company has a fleet and we used to have a diesel Dodge branded MB Sprinter. One of my drivers put gasoline in it one day, immediately noticed something was wrong after starting it, then DROVE IT a mile back to the shop where he proceeded to let it idle until the engine shut off. I had no hope for the engine but we tried anyway. Got all the gas out, flushed everything with diesel as much as we could. Dumped the oil and changed it (because it was also full of gas), then started it back up and it ran another 13K miles before I sold it. I was completely amazed the thing ran with no apparent issues at all.

    5:46 This is a 1.4L “LUV” which has numerous common failure points. While it isn’t uncommon for the charge tubes to leak at the intercooler due to crappy OEM connections, it usually only results in the car throwing an underboost code and dropping power.
    Another possibility is the turbo oil feed line (which is run UNDERNEATH the turbo heat shield 🙄) has baked the oil inside and is now starving the turbo bearing.
    However, given that there also seems to be a lot of white smoke, it’s possible the turbo housing has cracked internally (not uncommon on the stock Garret turbos on the LUV, just not usually this bad) and the turbo is now burning coolant.

One of the office ladies took the car to see a client and needed to fill the vehicle before returning to the office, the fuel station was only a kilometer or two from the office, she put half a tank (around 38 Liters) of unleaded petrol into the car. It made it back to the office before it shut off and wouldn't start again. After discovering the mistake the vehicle had to be towed to the dealerships garage and the whole fuel system drained and the motor fully inspected, luckily no major damage was done but we did have a very embarrassed lady in the office.

    As far as the brake pedal one goes, it's an air brake system the treadle valve (valve that regulates air based on pedal input) is capable of causing this but it's generally done on purpose. A new valve will do it. Essentially the resistance pushes the pedal back fast enough it will bounce back and re-apply the brakes, causing them to re-release and so on. It isn't necessary an issue as even new treadle valves are capable of doing this depending on the design. The Freightliner Cascadia it's mounted in is going to do this easily even when new
