I would’ve took a shout out lol jk it’s a damn if u do and a damn if you don’t. I’ll rather be safe than sorry. I got 12+ years with FCA on the manufacturing side. I used the same valve that Gm but All I did was move it up above the frame. Also, GM communications is a terrible source. You gotta take it with a grain of salt That like asking geek squad and hope you got someone that knows something But. I’ll still have a beer with you. I got no hard feelings reading a lot of your comments. People agree with me. I know the warranty system very well.
GM communications = GM engineering response BTW. And yeah, if I ever make it up your way, definitely have a beer. Just need a warm summer day. That cold beer on a cold ass day doesn’t work for me. LOL
@@Pickuptrucktalk My door is always open! I’m always learning and have an open mind. I got you down for a hot chocolate brandy . lol They been having Troubles from dead battery to screens going out. This truck is not perfect But I love my zr2. Same engineers that probably made the 5.3 motor ,a great motor But if you don’t shut off the AFM you will have a costly bill . me and my cousin Had to replace cams / heads Multiple times in our 1500’s. But let’s Be honest people that Normally buy this truck Or even like a jeep rubicon Don’t use it for what they advertising to do. It’s a pavement princess. When I got my ZR2. I didn’t take any warranty I told him I’ll be wasting my money. Because you will not cover the stuff I do to it But again that’s my choice and knowledge of Going into this off road build.
@@alwaysdifferentplus, there’s a difference between GM planning to warranty that axle against how 99% of owners will use it for, versus the 1% that’ll ever the rear axle submerged close to max depth, for more than 5 seconds and more frequently on the course of off road trails.
Always Different has a point on that one. And if it was an issue, do you think GM would message you and say "oh ya we didn't think this one through, its going to break". No, absolutely not. Its definitely a cost avoidance measure on their part. It will fail 100% over time but you'll only hear of it happening to a couple of them. Why? Because lets be real, only a minority of these truck owners are going to be using their truck for offroad purposes, and I'm sure that's what GM is betting on. Why spend the extra $100k in tubing over the span of these trucks being manufactured when the average customer isn't going to submerge their truck past the tread. It costs $5 and 30 minutes of your time, for this mod, to rest assured you're not gonna have to deal with the warranty procedure later on in the trucks life. Why not do it? Gotta say, love the channel, but this really sounds like a shill take on it "GM said its fine, so its fine". Give me a break.
100% , for a easy 5 min mod I did it also. Stop the pissing war and do what gives you the piece of mind about your truck.
A cost avoidance measure? I just dang see a few cents on a niche vehicle with lots of profit. A work truck trim? Sure. Not a high-end niche vehicle.
Tim - the '17-'19 ZR2s had this vent line extend up to the gas tank filler area. This looks like a cost reduction by the bean counters to me. Therefore extending the line would be a lame attempt to decline warranty. Same functionality and the dealer should have to prove functional deficiency of the mod to decline warranty imo. Regardless I am 'risking' the mod for my Bison to keep the vent out of the mud.
Gotta be in Always Differents corner, rather do a simple $10 mod than 10 week fight with GM's warranty department for, I'm sure what they'd call "extenuating driving conditions" when they see the tube packed with mud lol
This is a issue for all brands. Nissan Frontier has had the issue for 17 years. The Diff needs a vent to release pressure but sadly the factory designs allow mud and water to plug the vent
Sounds plausible but I would still put a longer tube if I owned one
My 23 Canyon is getting new axles as we speak! TSB 23-NA-208...not happy at all!
Always different is right on the money If you’re going off road !! I think he’s pretty smart for thinking outside the box and actually doing his own fix and making it better, unlike many who sit behind a computer and know everything, 🤣
This fragile tube is like the plastic oil pan & plastic oil drain plug. Heard GM now changed to aluminum oil pans on later new Colorado/Canyons with the 2.7T. 🧐
Better safe than sorry imo, if planning to ford water & mud & have a 2locker gm twin, get some hose & a couple hose clamps & sure, prob even a few zip ties. If you're really a car guy chances are you have this stuff just sitting around already, I do. GM's system is the cap, not the hose, no doubt about this one. Up much higher the cap will clog much slower, can't avoid it. Count on mfgr warranty's being honored & dealers applying fixes reliably(?), prob not. Imo Always Different is absolutely right in this one, nobrainer. Make sure your hose length accounts for full susp travel, good clamps well tightened, diy, the fix yourself, go wheelin. Avoid repairs, Nobrainer. This bud's for you.
This is a common mod people do on the 4Runner too. Lengthing the breather. Doesn't hurt to do this. Peace of mind.
I have spent over 20 years in the vehicle development and production industry and can guarantee that the shortened tube is likely a cost reduction effort and for ease of vehicle assembly. Yes the "Gore Tex" type valve may be adequate to prevent water ingress and pass GMs validation requirements which have been developed over decades to reproduce every possible use case of a vehicle, so the likelihood of a failure of the system is improbable but not impossible. However I will say from direct experience with similar vents they are susceptible to getting clogged over time given extended exposure to salt and dirt. So it may be unlikely to get ingress but there is still a risk over the long term that you lose adequate ventilation which could result in premature failure of seals due to pressure differentials built up in the housing. I see no harm in this particular case in relocating the vent to reduce the likelihood of blockage, I would just be careful of the routing to ensure it doesn't get pinched or snagged.
There is a guy on here with a video that just went on some watery, muddy trails and his 23 colorado diff was milk chocolate and GM was giving him shit on the warranty.
The membrane works great as is for water. But off-roaders go through mud and lots of it. I'd like to see the GM validation for a mud packed membrane.
Playing a little devils advocate here, but people doing that should be regularly cleaning their trucks and inspecting the necessary aspects like this if they are going off-roading a lot.
@@ALMX5DPsorry, but a vent tube should not be a maintenance item
@@jessewoody5772 for the vast majority it isn’t, but my point is that if you use your vehicle hard you should be going above normal maintenance like checking and lubricating bushings, doing a nut and bolt of all important joints and suspension components etc.
@@ALMX5DP I agree that hard use of anything will require more attention. But the accountants win on this one cuz not only are they saving a few nickels on each vehicle but they also reap the benefits when their cheap approach to ventilation causes catastrophe. Buyer Beware I guess.
@@jessewoody5772 true, though some manufacturers just put an open tube or simple a cap on the diff, so there are pros and cons to everything. And I always agree with the buyer beware type of approach for any OEM offering which are often built to a cost and not necessarily to a specific customers desired performance target.
Similar to toyota if the mechanism becomes blocked, you need to clean or change it or axel seals will start leaking because the pressure can’t escape.
We will know if GM engineers were right or wrong few years after the warranty expires and everybody cries out when replacing these diffs. So, let me just repeat what I think those engineers are telling us: This breathable tech marvel is BETTER, it esthetically makes the underneath of the truck more fashionable, so it compensates the hanging shocks. I buy all of that, but is it cheaper than a longer rubber hose? (This is the part I do not understand).
Seriously, it just does not make sense to me. Why are they recreating the wheel when they can just put a longer rubber breather for the fraction of the cost of this thing?
Also, I live in WA state and I have had at least five GORETEX jackets, if not more, and those jackets work for a short time and after that I have to buy special detergents, go through b*****t process to rejuvenate the stupid GORETEX, and it still does not work. I understand that breather thing is not exactly the GORETEX technology they use (maybe it is). I am just saying - customers are not stupid GM. Just because we buy your products, it does not mean we are stupid (or maybe it means exactly that). And if that is the case, I will go and have a beer, which will help me get over this nonsense.
It's cheaper not only for the length of tubing, but easier to install. The early 'rado ZR2s had a breather tube that went up by the gas filler neck. This was a cost reduction that I would blame on the bean counters, not the engineers. This change works for 90%+ of customers that don't do real off-roading so it makes economic sense. That's my take on it.
@@BowTied69 I hope you are right. It is just that in one hand I admire GMs engineers coming up with really cool stuff, but somehow they screw up something else in a big way that makes the vehicle a piece of crap. When I was in Europe, Opel used to have the strongest drive train and suspension that was bullet proof. But their cars were like swiss cheese. Again, we will know probably years from now whether this is a good idea. I like GM a lot, but I think quality wise Ford is better.
@@GoodSamLegend An old mechanic once told me, "Chevy and Ford have their issues. They seem to have the same issues year after year. But, Chrysler products, well they have different issues, every damn year." Toyota is still among the best, but even it has had a lot of challenges in recent years as it met the production volumes of the market leaders. Meaning they all have issues now. I think the big problem is the bean counters look at the average time the first owner owns a vehicle and they design it to last just a bit longer. They care nothing about the 2nd and subsequent owners, only the customers who buy new. Then cost reduce - save 25cents on a part is a lot of money on 10 million vehicles; cut it to the bone.
@@BowTied69 VW in Europe did that. Their cars are relatively reliable within the the warranty period and as soon as the warranty expires, the pain for the car owners start. It is basically the crappiest car company in the world right now (I am exaggerating here - of course there are worst car makers than VW, but VW is pretty much on the bottom of my list).
However, Japanese car makers design their cars in a way that the most parts last the life of the vehicle, and with Toyota it is a bit or much more (sometimes a life of the vehicle times 1.5 or 2x+).
If you have noted, although anecdotally in my case because of my small sample size, people generally change a part or two of their American made cars (from the Big 3), so the car can last a really long time but the owners do refresh (change) many parts quite often compared to their Japanese counterparts.
On the other hand, If you own a high mileage Japanese car, you start changing parts at the end of that car's life duty cycle, and it seems that you fix one problem and the next one comes up, and in a matter of a short time frame it feels like all of the car breaks down at once.
Toyota lately has their own issues mainly because they have changed models entirely. In their current offerings, if I am not wrong, only the 4Runner is quite old, maybe the Lexus IS and GS too, but I am not following Lexus so I could be wrong.
Toyota cars have issues because they implement new tech and have to catch up with the others. People like new technology and I participate in these owners survey a lot, so even more tech is coming.
I do not like new tech. I am old and that is why I have a 2021 Toyota Tundra - an old truck with an old soul, but new blood.
@@GoodSamLegend I can relate. I am first a chevy guy since I own classic Chevys and strongly prefer the styling such as Colorado vs. Tacoma. However I have owned Nissans and do find the longevity better. Had a Pathfinder that had the original, suspension, rear brakes, as well as all original front end steering, at >200k km. So my wife has Nissans and I have Chevys, best of both worlds.
The whole term design flaw is because incompetent engineers failed to properly design a vehicle. I spent over 90 days fighting with GM over a known design issue so I have trust issues with engineers
Well gm communications isn't a non biased source so take their word with a grain of salt as well. From there I wonder where that screen is? I would hope it's at the inlet of the vent tube
THe screen is a membrane, and it is right at the top under the cap.
@@BowTied69 nice! Then it probably works
Its this needless engineering leads to expensive trucks (and greed)
For the amount of R&D that's spent on these easily solved minor issues it could of paid to have hoses run to the top of the firewall w/check valve!
Needless engineering? This solution is likely cheaper and simpler than even a one way check valve. I don’t know if it’s as effective as a check valve but it should be certainly cheaper as it sounds like it’s only a relatively simple piece of material within that tube or segment.
@@ALMX5DP got what your saying, I'm saying regardless of the technology of this wonder tube, a couple years of dust, mud you might be blowing out seals or making chocolate milk, it reminds me how Nasa spent millions on a pen that could operate in zero gravity. The Russians used a pencil.
@@matthewholzmueller6292 sure, though no solution is perfect here. Search for near any brand and you'll find at least a few posts, threads or articles about how their diff vent was clogged. Tacomas dont even have an extension tube, Ford and Ram's are longer but I dont think they have any vent or screen. The biggest 'issue' with this is just that it's not very long, but at the same time it is fine for 99% of owners, especially if they just rinse off their undercarriage every now and then.
@@ALMX5DP🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Tim chevy also had a team of engineers that designed and put into production an all aluminum sleeveless engine in the vega. Go ahead and look it up.
Those old Vega engines had iron plated pistons, worked OK till the plating wore off.
Anyone who has field experience with Gore-Tex knows that the water repelling features eventually wear off. Gore-Tex can degrade. Also why wouldn't they place a more positive clamp on the tube. Not all engineers have years of experience, or pertinent experience. Rather than taking low ball shots at the guy and being an uncle Tom for GM, you might want to do what he did if you have a similar application.
Also, let’s all stop believing all the marketing hype OEMs put out there. These are still largely consumer grade type products with consumer grade parts. Sure they’ll be beefed up a bit to accommodate the majority of the typical demographic but that doesn’t mean they’re ready to dominate KOH or Baja right out of the box (and if OEMs showcase them doing just that, it doesn’t mean the vehicle will be able to repeat that over and over for 100k miles). Be smarter people.
I mean. Even purpose built race cars aren't really just designed to survive the race. Not 100k miles of races.
I don’t think anyone is saying this
Ford has with the F150 Raptor
Simple enough to just stick that little stubby hose back onto the RE and ditch the DIY hose if you need to return to the dealer for a warranty repair. No way they'd know you did that- unless they watch you on youtube 😉
Agreed . It would be a really lame dealer excuse to blame the mod - there is literally no scientific difference of effective functionality by extended the hose the membrane is on.
No way to test based on time…how well will that membrane hold up in 5 years? Also, I will always question engineering….how about all the dented tailgates from the hitch ball of GM’s multi tailgate. I saw that from the first commercial. Cracked me up seeing all the GM vehicles driving around with out a tailgate for a few weeks while it was getting repaired
Never did care for that tailgate. GM likely knows the possibility of damage, but they make more profit $$ selling replacement parts if damage occurs.
Everything fails with time, and some batches of parts are defective out of the gate, so why not use that membrane on a longer vent hose that places the membrane end higher? How much would a longer hose cost gm per truck? I’m not an engineer but that seems more logical to me.
Mud has entered the conversation….
The video below is the video Always Different refers to in his video that caused the concern. This guy in Florida took his ZR2 Desert Boss in way too deep of water (over the hood) but apparently found a ton of water in his rear diff. I would like to see if Chevy responds to this video. As a ZR2 owner it made me a little nervous.
ua-cam.com/video/gvknwDcQX7o/v-deo.htmlsi=RC5UWx2RyGLJP3qy
His looks like the hose is there, but I don't see the valve at the top, is it missing? Maybe it fell off or was missed in a quality check? That definitely would cause a lot of water to get into the diff.
@@matth3wc oh for sure that just a open tube just letting the party lol if it wasn’t in then but still. Bring the concern. If it was higher Wouldn’t have that problem
Dear GM... if you had to invest that much engineering into a vent tube, you're looking at the problem.
I swear if they were instructed to create an anus, they'd come back with a $3K computer controlled sphincter with 5G connectivity.
What's wrong with that?
@@fandamlol... forgot to mention the monthly subscription required to use it.
Do you know of a locking differential without a breathing tube?
First three months usage is free though. 😃
@@wilmarbarrick3194it doesn’t seem like much engineering to me based on that explanation. Seems just like a piece of material that covers or sits within the vent tube.
this guys repair dis secure the tube better to the axle with the worm clamps.
I sent you a email of a guy that took is zr2 off road and got water inside the deferential So he had to flush the system
I watched that video as well. I came to a different conclusion. He didn’t show the oil, only that he took the cover off. IMO he freaked out without doing an analysis of the oil.
@Pickuptrucktalk not the case. He went through the everglades and the breather vent got ripped off the little tube and allowed water into the diff. They pop off pretty easily. If you don't want to add the longer tube then just add a hose clamp. But it could still get plugged with mud. A little research could have gone a long way before you answered this question. Or even before you made this video.
@@travisthompson2287 I watched that video obviously and came away with a different conclusion.
Did your contact at GM say extending their breather membrane would negatively affect the life of the axle or the fluid? Will an extra foot of hose decrease the function of the membrane? The breathers on my vehicle are all 40”+ from the ground
They didn’t say and won’t comment since they are confident in their design.
I wonder what has stood the test of time again and again.. certainly not any gm product. Toyota many times over!
1st, i see what i think is a "Exploding Head Tim" thumbnail so i clicked. Also, thank you for not putting "Fatal Flaw" in your title/thumbnail. Sick of so called UA-cam experts saying something is a fatal flaw.
Fatal Flaw you say… 🤔 maybe I should add it. 😂
Click bait titles are a guaranteed way to ensure I don't click on the video to watch it
@@domin8ss Seems to work for Scotty Kilmer though.
I don't watch Scotty much anymore because of his titles either. I do appreciate your content and clear delivery of information. I think you have an excellent channel.
A lot of serious offroaders extend their breathers from their diffs, transfercase and transmissions regardless of breather design.
Regarding warranty, a lot of dealers will deny coverage if the diff ingests water through the breather because you took it offroad just because the OEMs dont pay the proper labor on warranty work orders. So in my opinion, if you plan on doing deep water crossings, properly extend your breathers and forget having to deal with going down the warranty rabbit hole.
I was worried about my 2021 ZR2's diff breather. After a few years and many many water crossings, I'm no longer worried about the factory breather. If anything, I'd sooner expect a stick to get stuck somewhere and maybe rip a line. Definitely not worried about water getting in the diff of a truck built for off roading.
I agree with the principle that it is a truck built for off-road - however, the same truck has shocks drag on everything on a trail plus an aluminum drive shaft. Also knowing that GM bean counters ensure the build for the 80% of buyers, I am going to look at all things critically for real off-roading. I have seen previous vent designs not survive long term with mud/rust - relocating the breather is such an easy mod, it makes sense to me.
Perception is reality until it isn’t.
One important thing to remember about the engineering is a lot of these things are done in a way that gets even with the mechanics who messed around with the engineers wife 😂
Per GM, what is the actual maximum fording depth of the ZR2?
WT , LT and Z71 - Up to 61 cm (24 in)
Trail Boss - Up to 66 cm (26 in)
ZR2 - Up to 71 cm (28 in)
- 2024 Colorado Owner's manual
I'd imagine the bison to be maybe 1.5 in higher then the base ZR2 so (29.5 in). Personally I'd be more concerned about washing out the grease in the hub bearings at that point. What I'm trying to say is any fording is gonna reduce the service life of submerged components.
@@l33tm4ch1n31 When you refer to the Bison being a different depth - for clarity of other readers, that is the 2024+ Bison. The '10-'22 Bisons are the same as regular ZR2.
I wonder what was GM’s reasoning behind getting away from the simple, old style, vent that extended above the frame rail to begin with? Did the R&D $$$ that came up with the stubby membrane hose pay for a few feet of hose they’ve saved? I suppose you could just extend the stubby vent hose above the frame.
In the end, if the dealer finds water contamination in the rear end, they’re likely blame it on the owner even if you left the OE vent hose in place. Probably call it flood damage or abuse, deny warranty & tell you to claim it on insurance.
The supplier is likely a 3rd party. GM loves to tell their suppliers, "Sharp your pencils." That means winning bid is the lowest price. Fractions of a penny add up to a lot of dollars when you're supplying a part for 1 vehicle for 12 years and the sales of that vehicle exceed 250,000 per year.
vent not working could suck sandy or dirty water through seals instead of the vent…..that will wreck seals and cause leaks eventually
That breather tube is way too short 😬 The one on my F150 gets routed all the way up to the bottom side of the bed
Just backing a hot diff in the lake putting a boat in would tell the teal story time will tell
GM needs new engineers after my experience with the new canyon/ Colorado. Way to many flaws
This is nothing really new, and it’s not a GM only problem, I own a 4Runner and the rear differential breather is very low, the front one is tucked up pretty high.
It’s pretty common to extend the rear differential breather on the 4Runners if you’re expecting to be in some deeper than normal waters.
GM and Toyota are more closely associated than most are aware. I wouldn't be surprised if this breather and tube are actually Toyota supplied parts.
Remember these are the guys that designed the oil submerged belt driven oil pump to keep noise down on a clacking diesel where they want you to replace that belt at 100,000 miles.. OH And ya, y’all need to pull the engine to do it. Just saying. I wonder if anyone out there has gone through this preventative maintenance that could share their cost?
Except it’s not 100k miles.
@@ALMX5DPCorrect. It was initially 150k miles. Now it's 200k miles.
@@domin8ss 200K, first change should be covered under warranty. At 400K nothing will be left to the truck anyway, in most cases.
There could be a very good engineering reason not to make that hose so long. Is it transporting air, heat, or what?
How about front diff breather and transmission breather
I'm sure that membrane is in the vent piece itself so if he moved it higher it will still function so no big deal Either way.!
That's what I did, moved the membrane behind the taillight.
Are all truck diffs vented like this? I've never seen it. Seems like a problem waiting to happen. 3/36 manufacturers don't have to worry about it.
Yes all are. On cars there is a very short metal tube with a crimped cap on top to vent. They all vent somehow.
The gears turning and transmitting power create heat. That heat has to get out somehow - no vent = blow out the axle seals.
This was interesting thx Tim. I wouldn’t say design flaw and glad GM responded
Very well stated.
I think he should've done his research before changing out that part.
Obviously he did and did a great job, obviously YOU bought a truck to get milk and it never leaves the pavement, 🤣
Hate to tell you, the the stick breaks on this truck are also cheap, manufacturers always look for ways to cut corners and to make them as cheap as they can while trying to make it to when the warranty runs out
Great video, Tim!
Why does it even need the vent?
That’s my question. Honestly, I had no idea there was such a thing as a breather tube.
So you went from not knowing about breather tubes to an expert cause "my guy at GM said so", in the course of one video? Impressive! @@Pickuptrucktalk
Vents are needed because the diff and fluid heat up under use. That can build pressure within the diff and axle tubes, so there needs to be somewhere for the pressure to go to equalize.
@@DanH-b2z wait, I’m an expert now? 😂
If the hose had the screen, he just created a passage for water to go in. If it isn't, he just wasted time and money. Going through deep water or mud isn't good for anything. Just because you can, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
A truck that can't go through mud to get to for hunters or farmers or contractors etc. is not useful. For those who stay on pavement it's fine but then why not buy a car?
@@BowTied69 go through isn't the same a submerged. As any farmer would know. They bury the tractor in the mud they know a lot of pressure washing, regreasing, and maybe repacking bearings has to happen. Farmers don't drive their trucks or tractors through a ditch full of deep water if they don't have to.
@@Bradimus1 Ya, I was raised on a farm, I know. I also know that sometimes to get the job done you don't have the luxury to avoid it and worrying about when you will have time to do maintenance a 16" rubber hose extension would have prevented .... it is worth the peace of mind. JMO
It's an offroad vehicle bud. You just may come across mud and water when offroading. It was literally made to go through mud, water, sand, rocks and anything else offroad. Get back in your lane if have no idea what your talking about.
@@travisthompson2287 sit down kid. You've obviously never taken a vehicle off-road and through water and mud. If you had, you'd understand the statement just because you can doesn't mean it's a good idea.
They would rather spend money on Woke electric cars like ford and others have done. This is why I drive a Txxxxa
If it's not broken, don't fix it
nobody knows there trucks better than GM. i trust GM.
Total non-issue. Just a knee jerk reaction based on internet knowledge that isn’t privy to the actual engineering like your GM contact mention.
Until it pops off going through mud or water with reeds or high grass bc there is nothing holding it secure except a tight fit. It pulls off easily. Needs a hose clamp at the very least.
@@travisthompson2287 from the video it doesnt seem like that is a reasonable assumption. Over time it might loosen to create that possibility, but that type of use case and owners should really be continually checking all pertinent maintenance points like that and address things before they become a possible liability.
@ALMX5DP No there is a video posted on this exact same thing happen. The OP was going through water and reeds in the everglades. Noticed the vent was missing, opened diff, and it had water in it. That video is what sparked this thread of videos.
@@ALMX5DP like I said before. 2 hose clamps. I personally will be making my tube longer to make sure it doesn't get packed with mud and not perform as it should.
@@travisthompson2287 link or name of this video showing the specific situation that is being reported? No harm in modifying to make something more robust or fitting for a more severe use case. I often do the same to my vehicles, but dont claim that they are inherently lacking straight out of the factory even if there is room for improvement for my specific need.
Great video Tim. I love how you can get the answers we can't. Good job!
I’ve watched all your videos and I have come to the conclusion…. This guys talks and talks, he doesn’t know it’s ok to take time to think about what he’s about to say.
Probably much ado about nothing
the guy you show does bad videos he is a run a mouth and show very little work and claimed he shows you how to do something but dont show any thing and then a finished product. you should not be giving any time he is just a drunk looking for clicks
Speak Engrish 🤔
He's an everyday guy who has a beer while making a video when he upgrades his truck. Any person who is even slightly mechanically inclined can easily follow his instructions. But to call him a drunk is out of line. I have yet to see him drunk.
you are most likely to drunk your self to even know drunk when you see one @@travisthompson2287
I'm good with GM's explanation. I've done Mechanical Design for 40 years, and have used that kind of membrane. Don't worry about it. Mr. DIY with his longer hose is an idiot...
