I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel, I went to tech school 10 years ago and on and off worked the industry until 4 years ago I strapped down and did light maintenance and tires. I'm finally getting serious and wanting to specialize with a dealer which requires ASEs. Thank you so much for your expertise. I've realized there's folk who text in class and get jobs spilling and filling and there's folk who use their knowledge and understand every little detail about their craft.
i appreciate your sharing of these videos. As an ASE certified tech myself, its good to re-cap these fundamentals again, since re certification only comes once every 5 years and not every factor comes into play everyday and even the best techs need to refresher course to remember all that they learned. You definitely have a subscriber and i wish you luck with your classes. Your students are lucky to have such a knowledgeable master technician.
Hello from 3 years in the future haha. i have a question if you see this. I am currently a lube tech. no ASE's, but eager to learn and fresh to the field. pretty much everyone i talk to says that no study guide is perfect for ASE tests. Do you have any advice in how to navigate the information with all of the new systems? I have study guides but theyre all outdated hand-me-downs from older techs. any info would be appreciated. if not hope youve had a wonderful 3 years since you commented haha
@@ibsensound watch these videos, go to freeasedtudyguides dot com, there's the video on YT for A5 I'm sure you can find the others. Study and don't stress too bad, you only have to get 21 correct to pass the certification exam. Good luck bro
its nice to refresh these basics that u dont encounter everyday in.the shop. keep up the good job. its nice to see a master technician talking with your knowledge base. students of yours are lucky.
Is this a good source of information to study for the A5? I’m on the west coast and I have my test in a month but I want to make sure I pass it for myself and higher pay.
I'm not yet sure how exactly a height sensing proportion valve works, but the first thing that comes to mind is whether worn shocks/springs will effect this.
Height sensing proportioning valves are adjustable but they are primarily intended to give more brake pressure to the rear when the vehicle is loaded over the rear axle. Stiffer springs would make a difference in how it operates though.
@@McCuistian Ah yes, I guess I should've expected they'd be adjustable 🤦♂️ Thanks for the reply! I greatly appreciate you sharing so much with us! I've learned tons from you, and even passed my suspension test with your help. On to brakes!
I have an amendment to his question about how do you know if it's brake fluid or axle grease - you should be able to smell the difference if you're squeamish about putting things on your tongue, like me.
@@McCuistian No worries. Still a great Instructor/Teacher/Professor. Im forgeting things and can't retainer information as im getting older. Your video's are helpful
@@McCuistian I'm Puerto Rican/Italian but lived in South Texas since I was 14 YO, now 38😅... so I'm used to that accent but the fast talking is what got me. I appreciate your videos, they helped me more than these study guides I've been reading😁

Glad to help! The industry always needs new people!

+njhotroder Thanks for the kind words!
You are awesome man. I wish I had you as a teacher.
I watched this to aid with my studying for my A5 test and I passed I appreciate it a lot
What else did you do? I'm doing practice tests and starting to watch these videos
@@jonathancoppens2103 study the book and get your hands on some brakes!

This is awesome, I enjoyed listening to you... don't sit around like a bunch of dead heads, lol!
Thanks for sharing your lesson it was helpful.
this is hilarious listening to him calling out his students
20 seconds in and i'm already irritated with them, screeching chairs and coughing

Absolutely! Axle grease has a pretty distinct smell.
Sometimes i feel like he's yelling at me too. I wonder how he would be if he made his video's live during one of his classes
Some people say I need a microphone - so I talk loud to try and make sure everybody can hear.
@@McCuistian No worries. Still a great Instructor/Teacher/Professor. Im forgeting things and can't retainer information as im getting older. Your video's are helpful
Telling young techs to taste random chemicals they find on the ground? Damn dude lol that's crazy
With all due respect, you talk to fast and your accent is not helping either, great material I just had to go back a few times to understand.
I do talk too fast sometimes - but what's your native language? Mine's a mix of North Central Texas and South Alabama.
@@McCuistian I'm Puerto Rican/Italian but lived in South Texas since I was 14 YO, now 38😅... so I'm used to that accent but the fast talking is what got me. I appreciate your videos, they helped me more than these study guides I've been reading😁
Thank you for posting this. You remind me of my old shop teacher.. Good stuff brother!!
Called old school teaching. I pass my California Brake Class C adjusters exam learning from him. THANKS
I love how he teach thank you so much
LOL 7:27
KNOWLEDGEABLE Sir Richard McCuistian

Thank you Sir Richard McCuistian
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
