FIXING EVAP Code On A Chevy Silverado For FREE *NASTY Brake Fluid Bonus*
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- Gabe is bringing the heat with the projects. Today we're troubleshooting an intermittent check engine light on a cateye Chevy Silverado. The code is P0446, it sets the check engine light and is more of an annoyance than a problem. We're going to jump in, test the system, and hopefully with a bit of testing and cleaning the light will stay off permanently. Then we replaced all of the brake fluid that looks like it's been in this truck since it rolled off the assembly line in 2003.

Damn it I have the same truck with the same code nobody can fix it! Ive replaced the whole evap system still says vent valve solenoid failure Lol
Have they smoke tested it? Have you been able to test it with a good scanner?
Knowing is half the battle!
My Yukon has the same code, never been able to figure it out. Truck's had this code as long as it's been in the family. We can clear it but it always comes back within a few weeks
Love the content
I had an evap code and turns out rodents had chewed on a vent or return line enough to have a small leak. Seems to be more common now with lockdowns and people parking more often and longer.
Surprising people complain to you about working on your friends' rigs. Half the fun of watching your builds is the crew who helps you breathe new life into these older cars. The fact that you can turn around and help them makes me want to watch you far more. To me, HOW you do your builds is more important than WHAT you build. Keep up the amazing work.
Yea not sure about the complaints myself. I've always enjoyed the videos with Josh, Gabe, Jake, and the rest. The amount of videos that get put out consistently keeps me coming back.
No need for an explanation. Putting homies and friends ahead of your own projects just goes to show that you’re a good guy. Plus these little maintenance video are probably more relatable and helpful to everyone. Not like everyone is sitting around with broken axles on their atoms waiting for a step by step video to show them how to fix it lol. Keep it up.
I don't care who's car you are wrenching on, because you have always had the crew fixing on stuff. Josh, Gabe, and your family are great, your dad is great, reminds me of you, and how detail oriented you both are, wanting everything perfect. You are building this shop for youtube content, and having people coming over and doing different thing's. God bless, and keep on a rolling out the rigs.
It always goes better with a couple friends and a 12 pack ;)
The outro explanation: are people actually complaining about the content? I mean, this whole ultra shop build was for the purpose of working on cars. What am I missing? If it's an R8 or Civic, who cares? Fun content is fun content.
Can’t argue with that.
Yep. People suck. Content is free and about cars, why the crying?? I wish I had a friend with a shop willing to help.
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 like I commented y’all were there to help and support when he first bought the shop, now he’s there to help y’all! Do good thing and good things happen to you! Take care of those who take care of you!
Never apologize for Gabe content! 🤣 But seriously that's what folks love about this channel is the variety of the cars you fix. From cheap flips to helping your buddies, to supercars.
You're the only UA-camr I know that releases videos at midnight.... LOL
Hi JR, actually loving the 15 minute daily's... random mundane everyday stuff that most of us simply cannot do without a great shop and depth of knowledge that you manage to conjure up. Keep up the great work.
Don't apologize. Ever. You are putting out great content for free on a daily basis. Fudge the haters.
Regarding 16:47, helping your friends with their cars is what distinguishes your channel from every other UA-camr making goofy mods to a Lambo.
We love the affordable, relatable cars and the quick $3K flips!
Helping friends & those in Need, Absolutely a Great Quality to have.
This is the kind of stuff I expected your shop to be used for. No complaints. Your group of friends makes it entertaining.
Basic maintenance content like the brake flush are incredibly useful. I know how, but lots of people don't and will search UA-cam for an explanation of how to do it.
Helping friends is great, and enjoyable content too. Keep doing what you do.
Amen brother
Your scan tool is showing you that the vent is blocked or not opening due to a stuck vent valve or a blocked up charcoal canister. The code means it is pulling more than 2.5kPa vacuum in the tank during purge. This will usually also make it difficult to fill the fuel tank. If you use the "purge and seal" test in the Autel, that closes the vent valve and opens the purge valve at the same time. The test you did was just to open the purge valve, the vent valve is normally open. The tank pressure sensor showing a vacuum means that the vent is mechanically restricted. The check engine light will not come back on until the evap monitor has run (several drive cycles).
First AND Second !!
So cleaning the gas cap actually made the problem worse.
Thank you. Was thinking this as I've wrestled with a few of these. GM evap codes are the worst
Who the hell is complaining about content???
EVERY SINGLE THING in this video can help someone out fix their own vehicule and save a lot of money.
Helping your friends is key, especially since THEY help YOU!
Every video you post is extremely entertaining! Please don’t apologize for anything. Post what you like. We don’t need Hollywood studio’s content 😀
You don't need to explain anything bro. You make great content, and I learn quite a bit watching your videos.. And very entertaining. Keep it up man.
No explanation needed, I think what you cover is relevant and I truly enjoy seeing how well you and your friends take care of each other. Never had that in my life and I think it's great.
Humble... I was gonna comment is nice you helping everyone out and then the outro came. Do you bud, you only living once and everything always comes full circle. Sometimes a friend tows your atom and sometimes you change brake fluid. Hospitality and kindness that you can see is genuine... is good, don't change anything
I’ve always thought your channel has been about helping people (the single mom brake job you did?) and friends with their projects as much as anything else. Do what you need to do JR.
Think the same.
JR does the work of at least 5 persons. All done with a good nature. I wish i had 10% of his energy levels.
Your friends were there for you when you needed help cleaning out the building and setting things up. Your there for them now! That’s how it works!
You keep pumping out the content, JR, and we will keep watching 👍
Who is complaining about your content? Josh and Gabe are great people! I watch one you tuber who keeps working on the same cars! I try to tell her it is getting boring! But - I like her too! Different content is the key!
No need to apologize man. You pump out content practically every day. Thanks for what you do!
I like when you do small projects with your friends, keep them involved and doing the small normal stuff is actually very informative for people like me with normal cars :)
No explanation needed, this is the only channel that awes me with daily videos. Great Job John Ross
It's funny that you have gone from a strict car guy to a warehouse guy so much that you feel you have to explain why you're working on cars and not the warehouse! Dude, we love the building stuff but despite what people say in the comments, everyone wants these videos of daily car fixes. I have learned a TON watching you and I love it. Sprinkle in the warehouse stuff when you can but believe me, people would start to disappear if you didn't show us all of the different vehicle fixes.
I just made a brake and or other fluid extraction out of an old mayo jar (one with a metal top) and use my vacuum pump. Works great for all kinds of fluid extraction. Even used it to bleed a GM hydroboost. I can't believe how well that worked. I was dreading the bleeding procedure. This was one shot and done!
Have a good one!
-Jon
That’s called paying it forward. They help you and you return the favor. Plus viewers learn.
At least you are consistent with releasing content. I like the variety of content lately. Keep doing what you are doing.
These videos where your helping friends fix their cars and working on the warehouse are awesome don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Hi, you don't have to explain yourself, content is always great. Keep doing what you're doing. Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪😊
Having a place where you _can_ help out your friends is cool - I like the randomness of those sort of videos because there's always something to see/learn working on random, normal issues on vehicles.
Dude, half of the fun of your videos is the interaction between you and your friends! It reminds some of us old dogs of the projects and repairs that we did with our friends when we were younger. Like the time my cousin and I replaced the old 2 speed automatic in his 1968 Firebird with a TH400 out of an Olds 442...
Gabe is my favorite character!
He should start his own channel.
🍻😉👍🏼
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 How do we know this is the real true Gabe!? 🤔🤨
@@marklance033 There can only be one…
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 WatchJrGo should posted it on screen anytime you're on screen!
@@marklance033 😂
I'm just *happy* for content like clockwork. And I always appreciate seeing you help out your buddies Josh and Gabe!!!
I personally like watching you help your friends out. I think it makes for great content. Some people get so big their channel just turns into super high-end unrealistic cars. I like that you keep it relatable.
Just keep posting as you do with whatever project you are working on. I think the appeal is that we are just following along with whatever you are doing in your interesting life.
I enjoy all your content, even the little projects. Want to see more of Gabes Saturn Sky, your videos was the deciding factor in my buying my own Sky Redline.
This type of fixes are more fun then the stuff like the R8. it actuall something I can eventually use if needed
Nothing more rewarding than helping your friends.
🍻😉👍🏼
I and my '03 Sonoma appreciate this episode. Especially in light of me soon tackling the brakes again.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
No explanation required, friends need help, and you've had their help. Nuff said
I think you shouldn’t worry. We’re alle here for your content and are happy that you deliver so much of it.
Everyone is off to clean the lip on their gas cap filler neck and the cap, just don't let your spouse catch you cleaning the cap in the kitchen sink
If John started headbutting people, he'd be known as WatchJRGoat
I love when you have your friends over for a play date!
🍻😂👍🏼
No issues with the content JR, we love seeing you help out your buds! Variety is the spice of life! Keep ‘em coming! Also, just curious…… do you still have the Capri?
Dude, you have a great channel. I enjoy the regular daily fixes, shop updates and such just as much as the bigger projects. Thank you for sharing all your adventures. Peace
You don't need to explain anything to anyone. You're doing what you gotta do. People don't like it? Ok, that's their right....but so is what you've got going on too. I enjoyed the bagging of Josh's truck as well as the brake hijinks today....lol
You keep on truckin JR! Your content is always enjoyable and REAL! It is what any of us may have to deal with daily. Keep up the great work, we appreciate the inspiration. Bring Dad around more often!!
When you have the shop, time, and know how help your buds keep their cars going, it's also great content that keeps money coming in and helps people with similar issues with their cars. It's a win win situation.
JR, keep doing your thing. Your content is always interesting to me. Thanks for the dedication you bring to your audience. Much appreciated!
I lost it when gabe was short braking it🤣
Those new hf jack stands are definitely a big upgrade, probably better than most jack stands in use out there. Definitely planning on getting some, though probably 6 ton for the height.
I’m happy with all your entertaining videos because all your videos are entertaining.
Your content is a good combination of projects and Vlog. The camera work and/or editing has really improved. What I like about your work is that half the time you're helping someone out, or you're sharing your "toys" with your friends. I always thought that posting daily vids was nuts, but you have so many pans in the fire, it makes sense 😅
I like seeing the guys and their projects.
This is extremely simple to fix. Twist off and remove radiator cap with left hand. Hold steady, and back the vehicle out. Now slide a new truck in under and lower the radiator cap. Tighten cap, and you’re done.
“Mechanics hate him because of this simple trick…”
As the end of this video was approaching I thought about how much I liked the recent videos. A minute later he mentions some people are complaining. Glad I'm not some people.
Enjoying these projects very much. Always learning from your channel and your explanation of things along with how you arrive a certain conclusions keeps it interesting.
It’s all good, looking forward to more shop progress :)
I just did the master cylinder on an Escalade. I used a little more than 1/2 gallon.
Test the purge valve by unplugging the electrical connector with engine running and disconnect the line going to the canister. With the valve closed it should not pass any vacuum. Many time these valves click when commanded, but don't seal.
Love the content no matter what you're wrenching at, has become my morning routine before I start my day lol
☕️😁👍🏼
Get the hydraulic vacuum bleeder. Game changer, John.
Old school Chevy but new school Gabe with his DARPA, Intelligence Support ACTIVITY and Texas Speed shoulder replacement. Rumor is that Gabe was deployed to Venezuela on a solo mission to eliminate a Peruvian general selling Russian smoothbore fired anti-tank missiles. When his Chey-Tac Intervention failed to fire on a 1200 meter shot, he used a sewer pipe he ripped from the ground with his bare hands and took a Russian 125mm smoothbore AT-11 Sniper anti-tank round and punch fired it to take out his target and bodyguard contingent. The power generated to fire that round ruined his shoulder. Gabe denies this, but an in-country SAD unit reported it in a white line IAIR notice. #facts
🍻😂👍🏼👍🏼
Me personally I like watching you fix domestic stuff rather than the high dollar cars most of us that watch don't own
When I bled the brakes on my 2003 Crew cab it took three large Dot 4 containers and one small one before I was happy with the color of the fluid coming out the bleeder screws and to fill the container under the hood.
I'm enjoying these filler episodes. Helping friends is one of the roots of this channel.
Nice having Gabe show up on these videos.
Gabe, what happened to the 1973 Opel?
The Manta interior is currently being reassembled by my son. Once he’s made enough headway on it I’m fairly certain it will be poking its head around the warehouse for a bit. 🍻😉👍🏼
Love the GMT800s, I have a 99 LT 2wd with the 5.3 Loaded with all the options. They look really good with the 2014+ 18" wheels.
I had a P0446 on my Aveo, and I watched South Main Automotive and it was the fuel tank pressure sensor.
No worries about the content - IT’S ALL GOOD!
JR is the real wrench everyday dude.
Any content with Gabe or Josh I'm here for.
I've been enjoying the channel, great variety of content!
John, keep doing what you do best. I'll be watching. Cheers!! 🤓
OMG a GMT800 with a tailgate handle, amazing!
It is a clean truck.
You need a Motive power bleeder. They are life changing!
Motive power brake bleeder. Get one. They last a long time and work effortlessly.
I like all the projects. Keep doing them!
Got a 2000. 5.3. 225k now. ABS module leaks. Bad. Also have that evap code. Great truck. Love it.
Totally appreciate all the content. You have inspired me to tackle larger projects at home. Brakes, tune-ups and such are one thing, but after watching what you are capable of doing in your garage I have stepped it up. Keep up the good work.
🍻😉👍🏼 Excellent!!
Loving the content JR, keep up the great work. I’d love to see some more of your flip car projects 😀
If you’re wrenching, it’s good good good content. I find it interesting JR.
I loved the water fall pump?! Both of you were having a great time. Oh, looks like it's still infected. Still laughing.
I always find your content interesting JR. just keep making them!
Love these sort of videos...keep up the good work...you just need that one build that will make the subscribers come running...usually the most simple solution is the best sont over think it.
as much as I hate using the bg brake flush machine, its still light-years better than manual bleeding :D
I've also seen a few dirty fill necks/ crusty caps cause evap leaks, often on a unwashed van that dirt has destroyed the sliding door rollers aswell
people should not worry about the jobs or buisness You are doing good content is good content
Like the fault diagnosis, shows check the simple things first.
Also tell Gabe if he has a metal on metal sound when going over bumps from the rear look and see if the leaf spring rubber bushing have worn out and disappeared. These are the ones in between the leaf springs. If they have you will see an empty hole at the front or back of the lowest leaf spring. Parts are cheap but you need to install them and then put a washer bigger than the hole with a screw in from below. Hardware must be stainless. You can also carefully drill the stud that goes through the hole and insert a stainless cotter pin but I prefer the other method. They tend to fall out when you drive around with an unloaded bed.
Thanks for the info, Robert! 🍻😉👍🏼
All the small projects are great too. They are realistic to stuff we need to fix on our own vehicles. Not too many folks with an R8. :-)
Yo Gabe‼️ 🍻
👋🏼😁🍻
glad to see Gabe !! all your content is great
Hi Gabe . Good to see yah .
👋🏼😃👍🏼
ZONK track and field champion! If you know, you are my friend.
AIRBORNE!!🍻😁👍🏼
You could do an entire series on “fix your friend’s ride”. These guys were al instrumental in the early episodes so it is only right to share the shop.
Hey I like the various content. It shows that you aren’t afraid to try something different.
