I show an example of how a simple service update can fix a problem on a vehicle with no parts required. The computers on our vehicles need updates just like your home PC or smartphone. As your engine wears there may be service updates that the engineers have come up with to change tolerances

Eric thankyou for all the great videos and info! Thanks for getting back to me on your location too! If you could recommend any reputable repair facilities in or around Rochester area Henrietta please let me know I would greatly appreciate it! Enjoy all the videos and the hard work you put in

Good thing I just had a brand new computer flashed and installed to fix my air conditioner and a few other electrical issues! Ground was shorted. Also, that dirtymax rattles like something else, I don't think my old car with the majority of the bushings showing dry rot rattles that much!

You have great content Eric! I really enjoy your videos, and learn a lot. Is that specific dtc available on snap on scan tools to see if the specific dtc had passed? That's a great function! Also what scan tool was that you were using?

One question from a non-mechanic customer: do repair shops charge for the updates? or are they something that is just done? /hidden costs or 'must be included'? I have an '03, so don't have that kind of engine/computer YET.

Just last week I came across a video (others since then) showing how to update your Windows 7 machines to 10 for FREE. The update does require a few hours to download and update but it does work. No new license required.

Don't use Paint - try a program called GreenShot you can hit the PrintScreen key and it can save a screenshot to jpg automatically & display on your screen. I use it at work daily and it is very helpful.

When you decide to update to Win10, you may want to just purchase a new laptop with 10 installed. Some of those 7 machines are not happy with 10 and software may be hit and miss. I hate computers. HA!

If you put a later model engine in it, should you flash ECM for car year, or engine year?
I put a '96 engine in my '95 SL1 saturn. Just had to add a water temp sensor as far as the head changes.

Windows 7 is a great OS as far as Microloth goes. It beats Windows 10 hands down. I'd stick it out with Windows 7.
To be fair 80, 000 is a very high mileage for a GM vehicle.

A good idea would be to make the sure the owner doesnt have a performance program/tuner installed, otherwise when you update the vehicle it will erase the performance tune.
