Eric O Is A Silver Bullet Cheating Machine!

I had an old feller tell me, it's not about knowing all the answers, but knowing where to find em. No shame in using every available avenue to find the answer.

I'm an IT guy for the last 20-odd years - and while I can understand the sentiment of figuring it out on your own (and thus, have holistic knowledge), I always come back to the fact that almost all troubleshooting is born out of a collaborative hivemind. We don't do our jobs in a vacuum. I learned that a win is a win, no matter how I eventually got there. Thank god for the internet and helpful people, sharing knowledge alike! You gotta know you're our very own Silver Bullet, too - I've learned a loooottttt about my Silverado because of your videos.

These battery draw videos from Eric are my favorites.

I see nothing wrong with a silver bullet. Happens at my work sometimes where the symptoms and other items match exactly what someone saw before. Often worth trying before spending hours confirming if this duck is a duck.

This is one YouTube channel that I always like the video before I watch it. They are always great.

Great video. Being resourceful is not cheating but a sign of intelligence.

DC current clamps are one of those things you need to get a feel for. With low current settings the position and orientation can result in rogue readings due to magnetic fields in the vicinity. I usually hold it in position near the cable, zero it and then clip it on without changing the orientation. Still worth their weight in gold.

Your metaphors are classic dude. Never ever change.

You are so blessed to have Mrs. O by your side. You all are a great team!

A wise tech never re-invents the wheel if he can avoid it. Well done Eric!!

You are a man of integrity and honor Mr. O. You don't own a parts cannon. Keep on keeping on!

Buddy you earn you're keep every day! You deserve an easy one now and again. Good show and good explanation of voltage drop across fuses.

I "listen" to the experiences of others but always confirm their idea before acting on it. Well done.

Your proper use of the silver bullet saved the customer money = satisfied customer, so well done, sir. And I had to smile at your slick transition at the end - "Don't you be a tool". Good one!

Eric O Is A Silver Bullet Cheating Machine who deserves a Gold Medal - conveying this much data and in such detail is a selfless act of kindness rarely seen. Thank you Sir.

That battery looks like it got the special, "I got a guy who can do it cheaper."

This all goes back to the age old saying, "an error code only tells you where the problem is, not what needs to be replaced or repaired". Like you said, it is a valuable tool when used correctly. When i was watching one of the snapon diagnostics training videos, even the host said test, dont guess because the error code isnt meant to tell you what to replace or repair.

I don’t see a problem, you’re in business to fix cars and as many as you can a day. Use whatever tool you have at your disposal. Great video.

Eric, again you are the man ! Using your trouble shooting skills to make a diagnosis, I was a heavy equipment mechanic for 44 years, 30 of which were in a supervising/support role for 40 + mechanics, I have seen many types of skill sets from apprentice to journeyman and foreman, none of which had the skills or patience you have for trouble shooting problems and making the repair. I wish we had you and you tube in my working years to help guide mechanics and teach what you share in every video. Thank You for sharing ! I am a believer that "If I can do it so can you" if people would only take the time to do their home work and learn before doing . Do it right and you only have to do it once.

“ I feel so dirty”, had you broken out a can of brake cleaner I would had died from laughing!!! Great job, I too love the electrical diagnostic videos you do… keep it up.
