"The lube tech forgot to tighten the drain plug on his truck." In other words, the lube shop just bought a replacement engine, the labor to swap it out, and paid for a rental.
Many years ago I worked in tire shop. One day a construction company truck dropped a 50 lb box of roofing nails on a street a few blocks away. My first customer of the day had over 300 nails total in all 4 tires.
@@saulenrique1460 Because of the extent of the damage to the tires all 4 were replaced. The customer found out later that same day which construction company was at fault and he along with many others were reimbursed by that company for damages and lost time.
4:40 My mom had taken here 03 LeSabre in for a minor vacuum leak from a gasket. It barely made it home & the shop refused to collect THEIR problem. So it sat for 3yrs while she got something better. Last year with the intent to possibly fix & be rid of it I opened up the intake to find at least 2 rags all chewed up & packed around the balancing shaft & stuck between push rods & lifters. No wonder it ran like shit. RL got in the way but finally have the vehicle back together. Soon as replace the fuel pump for as cheap as possible will see if the lifter valley getting cleaned will have fixed the issue.
I had a girl call and say she had a squealing noise under the hood so I told she should have it towed in but she drove it anyway and made it to the shop. She told me that the belt had broken on her way in I opened the hood and found she had taken her pantyhose off and tied it around the pulley's it worked the car didn't overheat or lose any charge in the battery. Smart girl nice legs too.
1:16 Speedo issue: When you get something weird like that which stops when something is switched? That is almost certainly a ground issue. Something is grounding through speedo. When in drive, a new ground path opens up. Would take diagnostics and a wiring diagram to figure out.
Only time I've seen the speedo rev like that was the transmission free spinning (the final drive to the diff was "unconnected" after a gear spewed out the side - new tranny required) when in drive. In park? Nothing is engaged. It should freewheel the input shaft. Must be electrical.
3:20 Sounds like a broken Actuator Motor. Bad internal potentiometer or position sensor. Since the noise seems to be comming from under the car, it could be : A: An automatic transmission actuator B: Exhaust EGR actuator ( the throttle body that sits in the middle of the exhaust pipe on some cars)
Could also be the hydraulic pump in the ABS actuator staying active due to a fault in the ABS computer. I knew someone that their ABS computer developed a fault and was back feeding 12v to the ignition circuit while the key was removed and kept the engine running.
We had a 2010 Jeep Patriot that had a habit of stalling at red lights eventually the transmission failed. It is Jatco CVT, the same that are found in many Nissans. It was under warranty luckily for my mom.
The truck printer. I have to saw it sounds a lot like the sound i have heard when anti lock brake system engages. But mostly a motor or a solenoid. Hard to tell from a video.
when i was a transit bus driver i had a bus engine do the same thing by putting a connecting rod and piston thru the side of a motor while i was doing 40 mph,between everything it made a mess by the time i was able to get the bus over to the side of road to call for the tow truck
2:30 I've been going to Valvoline for years for oil changes. They've switched over to vacuuming out the oil. I asked why and they said it's what the dealers/manufactures recommend and you don''t run the risk of over/under tightening the drain plug.
The printer sound makes me think of a poor electrical connection of the drive by wire throttle body. When it's making the noise. Pull each fuse one at a time until you have narrowed the subsystems down to a cause.
I used to work at a Kia dealer they had a lube tech that forgot to put oil in two different cars One was a Kia Sedona minivan and the other one was a Kia Sorento destroyed both engines
thats why i like vids like this , i can get certain issues shown , but damn some really go overboard with technical stuff . if i am not sure i ask a technician ,. when a big issue i just stall it and take the good beater of the MSS. :)
most people refuse repairs becasue of cost, not thinking that they could go to starbucks and fatburger a lot less often and save that money to get repairs done.
1:19 😂🤣😂 Well here’s one I can beat and I’ve got a photo to prove it. My GPS was showing 388kmph while I was parked in a shopping centre car park. 😂🤣😂 Needless to say after this and several other problems where the GPS kept getting lost it was retired to the nearest bin.
Do car mechanics ever get depressed (i know it's their bread and butter...but really?) at the total lack of common sense and safety from motorists with respect to maintaining their vehicles?
My grand prix had that problem it was the transmission electronic speed control system every time water got in there and it did that right there so I had to go under there with some Dielectric grease and clean the connectors up and fill them up with Dielectric grease and it quit happening
0:34 Does a shop have the right to impound a customer's vehicle when it is in such a hazardous state as that Ford Fusion. Or can you cover your ass by taking a ton of pictures and making the owner sign a waiver before he takes out a bunch of people a mile down the road. 4:12 I immediately thought the customer had a set of Mickey Thomson slicks. I mean what sane person lets standard tires get that worn? I am just glad I live several thousand miles away from these people and there's an ocean preventing them getting anywhere near me.
printer truck: 4x4 actuator is stuck between systems and failing to engage, this happened to my truck recently, replaced the actuator and found the seal broke and it was corroded out
@@grzegorzmuzia5310 Some solenoids though aren't just on/off click solenoids. Some are waving on/off solenoids that would make that back and forth noise. Like a vent actuator.
@@grzegorzmuzia5310 No problem. That's what everyone should do. Learning never ends. I've been working on and building cars for 30 years. My other channel is my shop channel, and considering opening a customs shop for the public next year. I learn every day still.
I had a sister like that,she just drove it until it stops,and then I'd get the phone call at 2am with her saying "THE CAR BROKE DOWN, COME AND GET IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC-AFTERWARDS I'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE AFTERMATH OF TRYING TO GET HER TO GIVE ME THE MONEY I'D HAVE SPENT TO GET THE CAR BACK FROM THE SHOP
that ute(known to yankys as trucks) that sounds like a printer sounds exactly like a ABS pump that has failed, i have encountered a few of these sounding like that
I really want to find the original video and see exactly what it was. I do have to admit, it does sound like abs cycling. I've used a computer to purge lines and it did sound that way, but I was wondering if it was transmission related. Honestly I really don't know
3:20 I do not know which part is wrong but i can confirm by the sound it is a screw-type motor with it's bump stop switch being deffective. The motor does not know when when it reach it's end(s). I've had this problem with a CD drive 😂Somehow the switch was too long and prevented the reader from going inward far enough so it would fail reading disc constantly lol.
... do you ever call law/traffic enforcement, when someone is piloting one of those ridiculously dangerous road hazards off the lot, after refusing repairs? (is that allowed?)
The vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. The shop can only suggest needed repairs. The owner is within their rights to refuse necessary reapairs, and drive their rat trap away without further repercussions.
The speedometer registering on the gauge cluster while not moving could either be a shorted transmission output sensor or the cluster itself is shorted. If the other gauges also have a quirk to them, it can further point towards the cluster
Dot matrix printers have a higher screeching sound due to the print head pins striking paper through a lubed ink ribbon. That sound was as quiet as a thermal printer.
Seeing those bald tires reminds me of the time I was having a new exhaust put on many years ago. When the mechanic laid down to look at the exhaust, the left front tire blew. He said I guess you need a new tire too. I was lucky it didn't blow while I was driving, and from then on, I always made sure my tires were good.
I don’t trust those lube places, I went to one with a friend and witnessed one of the guys trying to pry the top on the air box open because he didn’t see the forth tap was still locked.. i service my own vehicles.

Yep, those quicky lube joints can be engine killers....
Why were they driving it? Wanted to make sure it was as fucked as possible??
@@joeromanak8797 just easier to get it into the workshop I suppose mate, the engine is already toast sadly.
Sounds like the transfer case motor lost its position sensors.
Im leaning towards this.. Sounds like a Servo motor from a RC car/truck.. The steering servos.
I think it's just printing something
my headlight height adjustment sounds the same
It's definitely something with the 4wd.
That was my thought too

My dad taught me that trick when I was a kid.
Old trick
Just knowing there are literally tens of thousands of idiots driving these pieces of dangerous junk on the roads simply warms my heart 😐
The printer sound is a dry muffler bearing on the verge of going out.

The truck appears to be a GMC Cannon, I feel it's the transfer case actuator cycling through its range.
We had a 2010 Jeep Patriot that had a habit of stalling at red lights eventually the transmission failed. It is Jatco CVT, the same that are found in many Nissans. It was under warranty luckily for my mom.
I still think it's dumb that Pennsylvania requires annual inspections, especially on new cars...but these videos always make me rethink my standpoint.
People who put duct tape on tires are my favorite kind of idiot.
The duct tape has to be put on when the tire is new. When dark spots appear, add another few wraps. The whole "balancing the tire" thing is a scam.
@@flagmichael Yup. The roughness/vibration of the ride means you're getting good grip. Also means you can go over bumps and go off-road easier.
The truck printer. I have to saw it sounds a lot like the sound i have heard when anti lock brake system engages. But mostly a motor or a solenoid. Hard to tell from a video.

01:40 Chevy truck so instrument panel printed circuit board, ground for instrument panel or possibly speed sensor is where I'd start.
The printer sound makes me think of a poor electrical connection of the drive by wire throttle body. When it's making the noise. Pull each fuse one at a time until you have narrowed the subsystems down to a cause.
Thanks for featuring my video! 🙂
Throttle body opening and closing I think is the printer noise.
Printer sound @ 3:24: maybe an electronic transfer case shifter going nuts?
I used to work at a Kia dealer they had a lube tech that forgot to put oil in two different cars One was a Kia Sedona minivan and the other one was a Kia Sorento destroyed both engines

I suppose some of them do, but all good mechanics would tell the customer, "Sorry, I don't work on unsafe vehicles. And you shouldn't be driving it."
I know someone who had a similar electrical noise it was the electric water pump was toast.
4:12 Bought tires two weeks ago and they look like that... Were they drag slicks? Or did you spend the whole two weeks doing donuts in a parking lot?
you paid money for tires like that?
I think it's the throttle body actuating like the key is cycling.
C'mon, this is an easy one........the printer is out of paper !........
Duct tape will fix a lot, but it won't fix stupid.
Sounds like an electronic throttle body opening and closing over and over
My grand prix had that problem it was the transmission electronic speed control system every time water got in there and it did that right there so I had to go under there with some Dielectric grease and clean the connectors up and fill them up with Dielectric grease and it quit happening

0:34 no respectable mechanic would work on that car and let the customer drive it unless it was to fix the suspension.
The truck that sounds like a printer sounds like a solenoid issue to me.
Those tires have another 30,000 miles left on the tread! Lmfao
they where tires in the sense that they were round and once made of rubber.
😂🤣😂 1:19 Just wondering what fine American car was it. 😉😉😉
