You could have sold that guy a new engine. There's a special place in heaven for ethical mechanics.
-
The look on Mrs. O's face as you pulled the truck up to the lift, absolutely priceless!
-
Never a good sign when your mechanic IMMEDIATELY shuts the truck down as soon as he hears it running :)
-
Definitely not a wasted video. Never assume anything. Diagnose properly. Might save time and money! Great video as always!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
-
That GMC sounds like the time my garbage disposal tried to eat a spoon !!
-
Tighten bolt. Put belt on. Check bolt tension. Assemble bit and bobs. Check bolt tension. Close hood and while driving it back to the parking lot remember to check the bolt tension. Shut off engine and go get 15mm wrench to check bolt tension. Call customer to pick up vehicle. Can't sleep at 3am because you can't remember if you tightened the bolt. Gotta love being a mechanic.
-
This wasn't a silly video. I was truly relieved for this guy.
-
Lost the idler on my F150, drifted into a grocery store parking lot and called for a rentacar. Looked under the hood and the belt was off and found the lose idler. Got to work, local ford had the part, grabbed part and some tools and when I got back to the truck there was a note 'from a mechanic' that he noticed my belt hanging down and to check it out before driving. Damn nice of him.
-
Put a bunch of part numbers into the oil pan. OK, not going to lie, that was hilarious and I nearly spewed and inhaled my coffee at the same time. Consider that phrase stolen. Short but sweet and Mrs. O was there too!! Great video, Mr. O. Loved it.
-
This wasn't Mrs Os first rodeo she knew that wasn't manifolds. You two crack me up! 😂😂❤❤
-
Thanks a bunch, Eric O! Now every time I hear a horn honk nearby, I find myself saying “hey it’s that guy” 😂😂
-
My father, God rest his soul, always said GMC stood for Great Man's Chariot. His had my all time favorite bumper sticker: "Yes this is my truck. No, I won't help you move."

I work for Factory Motor Parts. We bought all the Auto Plus Stores in the area. We supply Genuine original equipment GM and Motorcraft Parts. OE AC Delco and Motorcraft batteries. Along with aftermarket parts, Drive products Moog etc.. Probably cheaper than your local dealer too, Which FMP supplies parts too. Thank you Eric for the great videos.
-
Mrs. O is a phenomenal diagnostic specialist!! Eric pulled in and Mrs. O said “lol that’s not a tick!” So crazy how fast that went out according to the owner! God bless~
-
Remember Eric we like to watch the simple videos too. It’s no difference than kids who watch other kids play video games.
-
Agreed! That is for sure the LOUDEST failing tensioner I have ever heard! Great content as always thanks
-
Mrs O is great. Her face when she said that sure aint no manifold leak. Those things have 3 belts. It's funny vehicles used to have multi belt setups. Then with serpente system everything on one belt. Now they are back to 2 or 3 belts
-
Another day another chevrolet! The German equivalent is 'Alle tage ein andere Volkswagen' I work in the Netherlands and we work on VAG cars as much as you work on GMs
-
Sounded like Jim Rockford was ringin from the 70's.

I was scared it was the lifters! Nice to see Vanessa!
