    Okay so recently bought a 2006 Chevy Silverado. This thing has brand new everything as far as the brake system hard lines soft lines cylinders calipers...master etc .. like the freaking works! Since purchasing this truck the brakes have always had an issue where they slightly drag... The more I drive the more they drag until practically locked up. Have bled the system more times than I care to admit hooked up that $5,000 computer to pulsate the ABS unit or whatever we bleeding... Absolutely nothing has worked the point I'm ready to have a bonfire with the damn truck in my backyard tonight. This is the one and only thing I think that's left that I have not checked into or tried because none of my "pro" mechanic friends have ever heard of such a thing 🤦🏼‍♂️ Just got to get my hands on that little measurement tool and I'm praying this is what the issue has been and it resolves. If so thank you so much! You saved a truck's life with your video😂 If this isn't the issue....well.... Still thank you anyways but looks like I'm going to have to start rebuilding my old BMX bike😢

    I just can’t grab the concept. That is this happens why doesn’t dodge already do this? I got an oil change and they filled my oil so fast that the fill tube allowed fresh oil to get into the intake tube . Cause there is a small hose that hooks in to the intake hose that comes from the side of the oil fill tube on the engine . It was fresh oil not old blow back oil that is dirty . . Crazy system .

      Because you can hardly get people to check the oil or their tire pressure, let alone get them to empty something like a catch can. Like this guy, he let it go for way too long before checking it. You need to empty them often or all the stuff it catches will eventually overflow back into the engine.

      @ it depends on the engine, but that’s really the only fix. It’s better to leave it as is because it would be worse if people didn’t empty them. There are videos as to why it happens. It’ll be easier for you to look into why rather than me trying to explain. It’s done like that because of environmental reasons, but it does hurt your engine because of it. It doesn’t hurt it in the short term, but it does build up.

    Does a two pass radiator *actually* cool better? The marketing says it does, but that’s marketing, let’s use logic. Your water pump pushes a fixed amount of water into the inlet, and the same amount exits the outlet, okay, so in a one pass you have the full number of rows for a fixed amount of coolant to flow through and it does so in time T. A 2 pass radiator uses half the rows to go and half to return so the same amount of coolant has to flow through half as many rows that are twice as long also in time T. This means the water spends T/2 time in each pass. Then we look to the 2nd law of thermodynamics and reference Fourier's Law to observe that the most important factors in thermal conduction here is the temperature gradient and the time because all other factors remain the same. So a coolant spending half as much time in each pass for two passes is exactly the same as spending twice as much time in one pass. So, it’s my intuition that for a fixed radiator size and flow there should not be any appreciable difference between a one pass or two pass radiator.

    I've had my 2011 Mustang v6 about a year now. Sometimes during deceleration there's this little unsettling vibration that comes from the engine followed by random misfires. It's about 50/50 as to whether the engine will throw a code or not. I'm gonna have my mechanic install a new one. I wish I could get a good looking one like these with degrees.

    I wish I would've found this video 3 years ago. I have the #871 sniper stealth and it's never run right, if at all. I can't even get mine to idle, and I highly suspect this iac is the cause. I have to open butterflies to even get it to work, and when it does run.....it backfires and dies after 30 secs w no data screen of doom. IDK, I tried calling Holley, but sat on hold forever. I never got anywhere, something always came up and had to hang up unfortunately. Now, I'll try and do this, maybe I can get a hold of Holley, IDK. $1,500 should really get me more than 40 miles in 3 years. I'm not giving up, hopefully this works for me. Thank you so much for making this video! It's the only one I've seen for the stealth including socket sizes and part numbers. You are awesome!!!

    Good effort and good video. Im no professional, just know a little about alot😅. But the first quarter of the vid was a little..not quite correct. The coolant does not flow in the patterns you described for a 2 row or more radiator. The coolant only flows one way across (or down) no matter how many tubes, it doesn't flow back and forth. That's that part, as far as the rest and more rows and larger or smaller rows..thats the big lifelong question for me and many other's. Im trying to figure that out still myself thats why im watching videos😅. Im thinking about getting a 3 row full aluminum to replace my single row stock radiator that just broke. Both are the same width core pretty much (3 row is maybe .05 wider). People say a 2 row is better then a 3 and vice versa. Im wondering is a 3 better then a 1 or is it about the same. Im now realizing radiator debates are like motor oil debates lol. So many different opinions and both make since.
