Ya maybe if your dumb ass actually wrapped up the cable so there’s not bare exposed hot wires just hanging around….someone would respect a proper level of awareness. But no.
I would not go to this guy, leaving the wire’s just twisted together like that and handing the car back to a customer is SOOOO WRONG!!!! He should of put simple ring connectors on and put heat shrink over it. That’s literally a FIRE WAITING TO HAPPEN. Yeah it’s simple and would maybe get you home in a jam but employing someone to fix your car like this is just fukin dangerous!!!!
You should do more videos like this where they question you afterwards but in reality what they're questioning was fabricated just for the video to get people to comment without realizing it was purposely done.
Thanks, this should work for me. My car died the other day in the parking lot of a Dollar General, I have AAA but it took 43 hours to get a tow. When I got it home I swapped out the battery with one I had in another car, when clamping it down on the post the thing split in 2 it was so corroded, I would have just cut the cable and bought a new clamp but the cables in my car are so short that wouldn't work. Been trying to figure out the last few hours what to do and I am thinking this is the best option.
Here where I live scrap yards are being pressured by city and county agencies along with police to require photo ID to be on record for people bringing in catalytic converters and copper. The local officials are even talking about pulling scrap yards operating permits if they get caught buying them without keeping track of who's bringing them in.Theft is getting out of hand here too and they said requiring ID at the scrap yards would help slow it down. But there's still to many ways to get away with it.
Yea man there are thieves everywhere. Some will climb under dirty cars and steal converters and some will be in a suit and steal everything by going to court and having the judge take everything from ya. If the junkyards would quit buying them then the shit would stop or alot less would happened because it's hard to fence a converter without the junkyard
I would have liked to see a cleaner and more secure way to connect that second cable. I don’t think it will last long. But the owner has bigger problems with his stolen “Cadillac” converter
Yea the video didn't really do it justice and I wrapped it in Electric tape before we left. So it's secure just doesn't look like it on video lol but yea cars not driving anywhere at the moment anyway
You the man lol my 350z had no power so I Popped the hood to find the negative cable had slide from the terminal because it was to short. I’ll be getting this from vato zone in the morning.
@@semperfimechanic you know why right ? Because car Vibration on the road will undo the thing you made there and the end of the cable will touch the car body metal which is all negative/ground and a result for that will cause huge sparks that can lead to a fire 🔥, I recommend you delete the video as it’s not save to do that or maybe you redo the video with proper positive to positive connection using professional cable ends connection usually sold for $1 a piece. Thanks and no hard feelings hooah.
@@sabahjason1 I was waiting to see what connector he put on to crimp it. Then I thought he was going to put tape on it to at least keep it from unwinding/etc. This blew me away that this is how he left it. To each their own.. but exposed wires.. twisted.. not even solder.. electric tape.. nothing. Wow. Not what I would ever have assumed would be recommended.
Good video, and thank you Firstly, I like the pulse tattoo over your wrist where you would check your pulse. Secondly comic why was the second red cable not to connect to the battery now?
Just buy a Honda Civic lower it about 4" and when they go to steal your converter they will have to Jack the Honda Civic up maybe it will fall on the thief or thieves lol JK. people dying stealing these converters by getting crushed by the car, The old saying live by the sword die about his sword
IM STILL WAITING ON SOMEBODY RICH TO SEND ME SOME MONEY FOR ALL THESE AWESOME VIDS. cash.app/$OhioMobileMechanic
Ya maybe if your dumb ass actually wrapped up the cable so there’s not bare exposed hot wires just hanging around….someone would respect a proper level of awareness.
But no.
Nice My cable is getting corroded at the end behind the terminal so this will save me from having to get charged over $1OO at the shop.
Damn dude couldn't even solder and liquid electric the open connection? What a hack...
Thanx, now I know how to repair the cable on my lawn tractor
Thanks for making this video Devil Dog. Now I can repair my 1998 car.
Semper Fi!
Semper fi
Thank you for your service brother
Semper Fi Devil dog!!! Great video, just what I was looking for👍👍👍Keep up the good work!
Semper fo brother thanks for the support take care devil
1:15 What happens if my wires are too big to fit in the connector?
That is a nice video until you spliced the wires together there’s a much more proper way to do it
And that better way is...?
Thanks bro. Your video is very helpful.
Im glad it worked brother

Yea brother just make sure at the end that you take electrical tape and wrap it around to cover the exposed wires and your good to go
Thanks brother

@@NJTransit1985well he would want to because everything he said was right
Where did you find the piece
Click on this link and order it from Amazon amzn.to/3pgVzpR
Not the caddilac converter... Damn
What if my negative cable and positive both don’t reach
Thats why you buy the extenders if that doesnt work just have to get new cables
Cadillac converter LOL
Sounds way cooler
Good video, and thank you Firstly, I like the pulse tattoo over your wrist where you would check your pulse. Secondly comic why was the second red cable not to connect to the battery now?
Cadillac converter?
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😍
Horrible connections
Nahhh worked like a charm
Just buy a Honda Civic lower it about 4" and when they go to steal your converter they will have to Jack the Honda Civic up maybe it will fall on the thief or thieves lol JK. people dying stealing these converters by getting crushed by the car, The old saying live by the sword die about his sword
I seen on TV some guy got stuck under a car for hours till the owner noticed and called the cops they got him out and arrested him lol
Is this for real
Works everytime just hit it with some electrical tape and good to go
