The RPO codes are a useful tool to have. A few months ago I had to work on my landlady's son's 2004 Impala SS ( a real toilet. It was an ex undercover police car. I had to replace the power steering lines ( a royal pain in the dupa on your back. I looked up the parts on-line. There were two options: standard and police. I checked the RPO codes and it was just a standard SS and not the police package. Didn't want to assume that just because it was a municipal auction car that it had the police package. Of course, being an auction car, we have many issues. None of the gauges work, abs lights on, and we have a bad parasitic draw. I told him he was making a mistake! LOL.

I was doing fluid exchanges on a friends Ram 1500 last year. Trans filter, front and rear diff, and t-case. The t-case fluid looked about like that. I never saw anything like it before! I warned them that it would likely die in the near future. They ended up driving it for another year before they traded it in. I dont think they used the 4wd much but i still couldn't believe it didn't explode on the highway during that time.

Love your videos, Eric. I especially appreciate the interactions between you and Mrs. O. My wife and I have been married for 20 years and share a very similar relationship of playfulness, jokes, and love. I originally came here to learn how to fix the many problems of a Dodge Grand Caravan, but now watch all of your videos no matter what the make and model. Have a very Merry Christmas!

It's been a long time since I disagreed with you on a diagnosis - I thought that the switch was good, but that the problem lay elsewhere. I didn't know that a non-4L transfer case was available on these, so I didn't get the right answe either. Don't feel too bad - it happens even to the worst of us!

Eric, this video once again demonstrates your incredible integrity. Rare is the person nowadays that would own up to a mistake, let alone share it on social media. Despite what the armchair mechanics might say, we ALL make mistakes. Well done pushing through it and moving on!

Can you tell by just looking at it, or do you have to put it it?
It was at this point where I near spit out my coffee. The look on Mrs. O's face as she realized what she said, and I can just imagine the look on your face Eric.
That was freaking priceless.

I once spent a good half an hour trying to figure out why a running light on a newer Jeep wasn t working. Once I pulled up the service data I realized that specific light is disabled in the North American version and I was chasing a ghost the whole time.

Well here is what I would say. Man look at that someone was in there playing around and put in the wrong tranmission. Just look the knob says it should have a 2L on it. That way you have plausible deniablity. it's never the mechanic fault. Just saying.
