You know, I've been a 'car person' for most of my life, and as such I've run across stories, posts, videos of all sorts where people described putting their car in storage for the winter. I never really understood the 'why' part of that process (cause I never thought about it in depth, just heard it and thought why then dropped it, plus I live in the South where we don't do that. But I think the first SMA video I watched (maybe the second, Eric looked over a vehicle that was rotted out all around the frame and explained the what/how it happened. The light bulb that went on in my head was probably around a million candle power. I felt kinda like That 40YearGuy.

Ha this one is in pretty decent shape. I have a 2008 trailblazer myself. The best thing to do here is just to turn off the air pump in the tune. Some of these did not even come with the air system from the factory. The pump being down there was super dumb from the beginning of production lol.
If you want to remove the system, get part number 12574378 which is the block off plate for the check valve, since some cars came without it.
Also the evap valve is always an issue in these trucks. You are allowed 1 ready code to not be set in nys, my evap never sets even after replacing what was bad, it still passes

I've watched about every one of your videos over the past 5 years. I've been a mechanic for about 8 years. I just gotta say, I've learned more watching your videos than I ever did in school. More technical knowledge, and the ability to just roll with the punches and keep a calm mind and sense of humor amidst the unpleasant situations that inevitably arise. Thank you for making these videos, you really are an inspiration.

The AIR system in my 96 Caddy threw a code so I did some preliminary inspections. Having found nothing, I looked into TSBs after some Goggle-Fu. The TSB said essentially not to worry about it and gave the procedure for an AIR system delete. If you have a Fleetwood, Roadmaster, or Caprice from this era, the TSB is #01-06-04-011

I had an old Econoline work van that I had to negotiate hurricane Irene (99, SoFla) floodwaters to get home where it got over the front bumpers. Next morning I went to start it and the belt driven pump was seized and the belt was screaming at me. Smacked the pump with a hammer and it was fine. This joggled that memory.

Raining to beat all here in Illinois so we are enjoying Educational video provided by SMA! Know as Schooling Me Automotive! If Eric can do so can I!

Our 04 trailblazer was in amazing shape when the transmission failed at 280k. Had it rebuilt by a local yokle and it failed again 8 months later. I sold it for parts 4 months later. The guy replaced the transmission and drove it till it died for good. No rusty frame. For a Michigan vehicle, it held up well.

Doctors and lawyers have to attend training annually for continuing education requirements. As a tech myself, watching Eric is like doing exactly that. Even with all my experience I always learn something from his videos. Any good tech should be watching him to make themselves better.

My 2012 Tacoma's secondary air pump has been a complete nightmare. I've had it replaced twice and I am finally able to at least clear the code for a few days at a time so I'm not stuck in limp mode until I can finally get it replaced again.

I love your sense of humor Eric. I worked in the shop for 33 years and people with a good sense of humor that maintain a good sense of purpose such as you are a joy to work with.
Also, 9: 18-It's great to see you're a good blower.

19: 17 - that imitated sound reminded me of the Bub Rub/Little Sis Whistle Tip video from like 20 years ago.
Double moneyshot in ONE video! I wasn’t ready for that lol
Nice work on the diagnosis as usual!

Those air pumps should be called cheater pumps as they only run at startup for the system check and then shuts off. What a joke. Great video though and was super excited for the double money shot. Thank you.

I wonder how many times he has repeated those tired cliche's in his life- Bingo Bango, money shot, Laaady etc. After about the 10, 000th time does he still think it is clever and original
