Mrs Wes we enjoy the interaction between you two. We know you can keep him in his place ha ha. You got yourself a decent hardworking man there. I’m sure he considers you the catch of a lifetime as well.
I did subscribe to your channel but since there are no, none, zip, nada videos, I couldn’t comment to say hi. If no content how are we supposed to stay subscribed? For content - Maybe you should make videos from your point of view of him working,. You could record helping him AND (probably even better) videos of your son playing, helping dad and/or mom and bothering dad as all kids do - haha.
I've done this job a number of times on my Trailblazer. I've also seen any number of related YT instructional videos. Yours is the most thorough regarding cleaning, corrosion protection and thread-locking. Thank you.
Wes, you’re a very talented and methodical mechanic, one of the best at analyzing and diagnosing vehicle mechanical and electrical issues. Love your style of humor and your content. Keep them videos coming.
I'm a shade tree DIY guy for my own vehicles and I commend you for wanting to open up the relay casing to see what's going on inside. I had a bad relay in my Mazda, and I had the same thought, thankfully I was able to open up the relay and clean the gunk and put it back together. Popped it back into the car and works great. Saved me $25. 👍😁
I like the fact that you analyze and solve the problem and not just hang parts on it till the problem goes away. You could have had an easy brake job but you let the customer get the full wear out of the pads. Hats off to you for not over selling!!
Checking past videos to catch up. As a retired maintenance manager I enjoy watching your thought process as you investigate and troubleshoot the problems. Keep talking. Be safe Be happy Take care
I own 07 trailblazer wheel hubs are notorious for that truck. I replaced mine twice on both sides. Go ahead and replace the passenger side as well because it's going too make no ice in 6 months or so. Good job wes! I also live in Chicago
I do appreciate the open opportunity to subscribe without you mentioning it every video like so many other people do. I dont feel pressured or annoyed lol. But I subbed a long time ago and yes I'm going to add mrs wes cuz yall are funny
👍Lesson learned after installing 2 cheap hub bearing ass’y on wife’s 07 Trailblazer 2wh drive.…. Don’t go cheap! Only lasted 10k miles. I’ve never replaced the locking nuts and always use a torque wrench as the ROAR is disheartening to hear! Good stuff sir Wes👍
Solid troubleshooting and resolution...love the walk-in diagnosis by Mrs Wes....change the bulbs. Followed by the UA-cam Channel promotion. You are a good husband.
The bolt-in bearings are so much easier to remove and install rather than press in and screwing around with the races and preload. Only downside is some of them don't come with the abs wheel speed sensor. They get destroyed alot when you try and remove them so it was nice the new hub came with one. The relay swap trick is one I always use to check them quick when you have 'like' ones to check it with. Great video bro!.
Well Wes as Mrs Wes onesided declared a competition i should come up with something special but you don't need worry too much as i am siding with you in this matter✌ ... it was a pleasure to watch you work Wes🛠 ... as always.👍🙂
Rust inhibitor on the knuckle is a great idea. ive always put neversieze on it and the few times ive had it apart for balljoints or axle u joints it sure made my life easier the next time
I used to occasionally run/maintain a KiaTurn cnc lathe, and let me tell you, the manuals for that thing were a trip. Especially the parts referencing the Fanuc controller, which seemed to have been translated from Japanese to Korean to English by someone who spoke none of those languages.
I am honestly blessed. I replaced both hubs on my old Chevy, we don’t have the rust so I literally unbolted pulled out a put new on. I watch you and J.C. And see all the rust y’all deal with
Another great vid from Mr. Wes. If you've ever spent a month in the U.S. Coast Guard as a non Aviation non rate there's definitely a serious chance you've had an up close and personal relationship with a needle gun. Thankfully, I was an AD3 Aviation Machinist Mate. Never got near one but I sure heard some horror stories. They'd even use them to chip inches of ice off Cutters and other boats, docks and such. Before I put my Chevron on ass AN I did have to chip ice outta the 60 foot tall wooden WW II era hanger doors up at Airstation Traverse City Michigan. Ooh joy. Yup, even after I did put it on I still had to do it after the blizzard of 1978. We got 16 foot snowdrifts against those doors. Took two days to clear them. All hands on deck.
The Needle scaler is used near the coast quite a bit in California due to the salt water climate. It also does wonders on ship hulls to clean barnacles.
I really enjoy your videos. I've sharpened my appreciation for engineering watching you fix every day issues. I'm lucky to be old enough to have had blueprint and schematics reading in shop class and drafting during junior high and high school.
7th Knight of Ni.

7th Knight of Ni. And it’s not for everyone. I read a few months back that Walmart was desperate for Class A commercial fleet drivers. They stated pay ranges up to $90,000 dollars a year. What’s it cost to get the CDL training? I don’t know but I would say between $3-5,000? Lot better than a hundred grand at some cancel culture commie university.
@Mrs Wes you could have a channel "Watching Watch Wes Work" where you do behind the scenes and generally poke fun at West. I'm sure we'll all enjoy it very much. Mr Wes, good stuff! I've seen very few relays fail in comparison to other problems. I appreciate you sharing.
Always a pleasure to watch you work. I respect how thorough your repairs and explanations are. Thanks for the content. (also your comment about the sound of a hernia had me holding in one of my own)

I used a needle scaler for 40 years welding. Sometimes you could anneal welding as-to crystal cracking after welding. Really good Chicago Pnuematics scalers they hit so hard it dented the weld, which was perfect for annealing.
Really good video, (kept it clean). I think, from watching your vids, you get a lot of your skill from being trained as a machine tool service guy. Because of my many years in that business, I recognize the traits. The guys that I know used the same type of humor, also.I was a tool & die guy before I got into the sales end of that business. Loved it, even the travel part.
Decided to subscribe today. I have caught a couple of your videos previously and decided to came back after watching Mustie1 this morning. Thought you might like to know.
You are so darn interesting to watch and listen too. And you really know what you’re doing. Come put my brake shoes on my 1987 GMC truck, never did one so wish me luck. Thank you....Mike
I know. I was ready for a fight. I had a 10 lb slide hammer, the air hammer, even had my ear muffs on because I figured it would be 30 minutes of hammering!
So funny seems like every time I have a vehicle come in with an issue you make a video of almost the same issue. I just had a 2008 Dodge Caravan come in that the headlights would shut off by themselves but long story short it ended up being the TIPM. And you are watching to much South Main Auto spraying that sheep dip on everything lol
I hate needle guns. I had too much fun with those in the Navy. Needle gunning decking and bulkheads is the worst. Rattles you’re bones. Anyway great video. Keep up the good work!
My '04 Bravada had very similar headlight problems (they would sometimes randomly go off and then come back on). I didn't know about the TSB so ended up purchasing my new relay (it was a tad over 40 dollars, wow). My old relay, if scrutinized, barely looked slightly bulging (thinking it over-heated over time, then failed). I didn't do the shown diagnosis, merely swapped high beam with low beam relay until the replacement was installed.
Yo, what happened to the no low beams that’s what I was interested in that’s the problem I had and it said no low beam headlights on your heading and then you’re doing wheel bearing thanks a lot man you’re your video was very helpful. I’ve done my wheel bearing so many times I could probably show you how to do them.
Hi Wes, new subscriber here. Great diagnostics, calm relaxing delivery. I just wanted to point out that there are free screen recorders that work pretty well. OBS (aka Open Broadcaster Software obsproject.com/) can record all manner of windows, screens, etc. It was originally meant to livestream to UA-cam but it also records screens (and audio if desired) just fine.
Watching yall work on rusty stuff up north makes me not mind the humidity of the south so bad. You got to really neglect a vehicle to get them to rust that bad down here.
Should have checked for low beam fluid first. Man all that electronics just for a headlight. My old 54 Chevy had just a fuse, a few wires and a switch and a dimmer switch on the floor. After 20 years it got rusted and needed to be replaced. Great job the wheel bearing and showing us the needle scaler. Excellent mechanical abilities. Where did you get your knowledge from? What school? Apprentice work etc. Thanks for sharing.
I hear Scotty Killmer, is already learning from Mrs Week's channel. LOL. Newly subscribed to Mrs Wes, perhaps she can feature what Wes eats??? So a "Relay" is now called a " driver module" ???, Must triple the price of course. Plenty uga duggas 👍. Thanks for sharing.
where did you get those hooks for hanging the brake calipers..?? I have not seen those before. BTW,,, thanks for your videos. appreciate the effort you go through to edit & upload & whatever else is involved in posting these videos.
I haven't watched yet but I just have to mention that some of these trailblazers have a recall just for this issue. You replace SDM with is in the fuse block under the hood. If I was at work and had access to SI I could look up the document.
It could be said that all dogs go to Hufflepuff, as it is a house that values fair play, loyalty, hard work, and dedication. Their mascot is the badger.
Tell Mrs Wes to get busy. I subscribed to her channel. And love reading schematics on vehicles. I do drafting. So not hard to read. Most mechanics hate doing electrical on vehicles.
I've had those relays go bad and cause the headlights to come on and off at all hours of the day and night. Freaked out the customer. She thought her car was possessed!!! LOL!!
I have a tupperware box with a bunch of 6" wire pieces with a male terminal lug crimped on one end, and a male banana plug on the other. perfect for doing relay circuit testing. I honestly didn't know you could buy pre-made breakout kits for common automotive relay styles.Before making my own relay terminal breakouts, I used to mess around with paperclips and alligator clips, but owning a flood damaged SAAB ended that...
I've often found that parts that are recommended to be replaced are not available. Why they aren't included with the items has always puzzled me. From gasket sets that require head bolts be replaced, to fuel pumps that require the filter be replaced and Deutz diesels that require the injector fuel lines be replaced any time they are loosened but new lines are not available.
It's all ridiculous. Look at a newer Ford service manual once. Every fastener is torque to yield or nylock and they are all supposed to be replaced any time they are removed. No way.
Wes i love your videos enjoyed all of them up to date keep them coming but you mentioned that California and Texas you might not have to use a needle scaler i hate to disappoint you but i have worked as a diesel heavy construction equipment mechanic for over 30 years now and along the gulf coast any type of vehicle you are going to have salt water corrosion now not as bad as road salt from the northern US or east coast or west coast but it's there and yes a needle scaler is a wonderful tool for this type of situation thank you for your time and effort making those videos truly Ed James

"if you live in California or Texas or were never in the Navy you may have never seen a needle scaler..."
I think Harbor Freight is based in CA and they sell them for under $30.
in Texas we use a needle scaler for removing slag from welds and to bust dried concrete of fasteners.
used them plenty in submarine bilges...
Used them on a Navy Cruiser back in 1969. We stripped and replaced the flight deck non skid material.

Rust inhibitor on the knuckle is a great idea. ive always put neversieze on it and the few times ive had it apart for balljoints or axle u joints it sure made my life easier the next time

I've often found that parts that are recommended to be replaced are not available. Why they aren't included with the items has always puzzled me. From gasket sets that require head bolts be replaced, to fuel pumps that require the filter be replaced and Deutz diesels that require the injector fuel lines be replaced any time they are loosened but new lines are not available.
It's all ridiculous. Look at a newer Ford service manual once. Every fastener is torque to yield or nylock and they are all supposed to be replaced any time they are removed. No way.
Wes i love your videos enjoyed all of them up to date keep them coming but you mentioned that California and Texas you might not have to use a needle scaler i hate to disappoint you but i have worked as a diesel heavy construction equipment mechanic for over 30 years now and along the gulf coast any type of vehicle you are going to have salt water corrosion now not as bad as road salt from the northern US or east coast or west coast but it's there and yes a needle scaler is a wonderful tool for this type of situation thank you for your time and effort making those videos truly Ed James
I never thought about the ocean. I have never lived anywhere coastal.
