I wish i knew why this channel has such a low subscriber count. This is one of the best channels on youtube in my opinion. Concise, to the point with a bit of humor thrown in. No facetime , look at me while I talk or click bait intro photos.. Keep up the good work Wes. Dont change a thing on your presentation...................

You have to admire Wes. Just about everything he works on is clapped out due to the rust belt and one issue turns into ten before Wes is done. Good job as always, Wes

"Aaaaand unsubscribe!" Best line of the whole video. Keep sharing you real world experiences, Wes. It's what keeps your content entertaining, educational and fun. I'm a 57 year old equipment tech, been doing it for 35+ years. Sometimes we do what we have to do. I look forward to your content every week. Don't change a thing.

Don't change man. Being real is what makes your channel so great :)

Having watched this channel for over a year, I’ve decided that one could make a great living having a shop that solely focuses on keeping Chrysler products on the road.

"If you play around with the key switch long enough it will start" so just like every other Chrysler product in history, got it

I'd rather watch this channel than any other. Always great material and a lot of humorous talk. Thumbs Up!

This channel is criminally underrated. Wes is the best out there and considering the absolutely destroyed nature of most of the vehicles he works on, he performs literal miracles tk getbthese things back to running.

Looks like you could go down a never ending rabbit hole with that truck. Hope you feel better real soon Wes. We’ve missed you.

I can only hope that all the keyboard technicians will point out that you obviously ruined the hose by clamping it, that all brake parts must be replaced in pairs because their uncle says so, and possibly that Mrs Wes brought you that beer at the wrong temperature. Keep up the great work, love the content. What's this about a virus?

I don’t know why, but when you said “Gaps you can throw a dog through” had me laughing 😂

"aanndd unsubscribe" 😂😂 your humor makes these videos so fun to watch

Since Covid, I find myself sleeping a lot. Sometimes I get so sleepy I feel like I'm gonna fall over.

"A simple no crank diagnosis turns into a normal day here at the Watch Wes Work Bermuda Triangle of Automotive Repair." - Love it!

Wes, You never cease to amaze me. You’re pulling off a crusty brake line, filming a video and actively participating in a conversation with your wife about candy. Who says men can’t multitask.

You've been invited to The Dog Throwing Championships this fall in recognition of your promotional work. Bring a poodle.

Rust jacking on the bracket will squeeze the hose restricting the flow. The fluid will pass while applying pressure but can't return causing premature brake failure.

You will never grow hungry as long as Chrysler makes vechicles.

"Annnnnnd unsubscribe". I laughed so hard when you clamped off the flex-line! Thanks for the hardy chuckle Wes! 😅

I enjoy every time Wes declares he's not an expert in something, then totally dismantles it and then explains what he thinks is the issue, replaces faulty parts, puts it back together and more often than not it's fixed.

Is it only me who thinks that modern vehicles are too complicated for our own good? A truck should be simple, strong and bullet proof. This channel should change its name to Watch Wes Tear His Hair Out... Well done fella. 👍

I agree, this channel is probably my favourite as it is real. Wes shows us what he does and all the issue's he has along the way. Keep up the good work Wes and never change.

I love your crickets, i also find it hilarious that its so quiet at your shop while others have to wait to film while its quiet

A day in the life of a country blacksmith. Wheter it's a truck, tractor, car or combine, Wes will fix it.

The dealer has to have a work order of some sort before corporate will let them obtain a pin code. Since you bought a part they were able to get one. That's how my buddy that works at the dealership explained it to me. I used to be able to just call and get one. Just another way to get more money out of us. Thanks Wes.

I learn something from Wes EVERY time that I watch one of his videos . Thanks again Wes .

You are the man, Wes; a walking paper cut of ascerbic wit. Waiting breathlessly for your tell-all book; "HERE'S YOUR PROBLEM, LADY; MY JOURNEY WITH JUNKYARD REJECTS AND THEIR OWNERS, THE EARLY YEARS."

When I hear the crickets on your videos, I keep thinking there is one in my house. I used to get them from time to time but I haven't any for at least 10 years. I haven't even heard or seen them outside and my 2 acres are surrounded by farm fields. Maybe they use good insecticides but it doesn't seem to stop the mosquitos.

This win module goes back to when Daimler Benz owned Chrysler. Mercedes Benz had another part behind the circuit board that used infrared to communicate and change the code of the fob every time the vehicle was started. At least that’s what I was told when I bought my new Mercedes in 2002. Hope you feel better soon.

You sounded noticeably better the day after you took your Misfit Red _medication._ Hope you fully recover as quick as I did. It took me 7 days and I was 95% right with the 5% taking a week or so longer but I put that down to my age. Mrs Wes has an infectious smile Wes. You are a very fortunate man. 👍

The crickets chirping in the background while you were waiting for the brake fluid was a nice effect.

I am an old timer and I must say I 've never seen a brake caliper chewed up this bad. Keep em roll'n Wes.

I have been taking care of my sister in laws 2013 Dodge Dart with the same type of key. You have to wonder what Chrysler was thinking with this design. It's almost like they were trying for a 'push button' start but couldn't quite figure out how to make it work so they came up with this 'hybrid' system. I had a 2008 Dodge Avenger which had a 'normal' key but used the same type of 'wireless' system. On my car I found out that they also don't protect the 'WCM' from static electricity. One very dry day I went to start my car and a small static charge jumped from the end of the key to the switch. That small static charge managed to short out the Wireless Control Module and I ended up having to be towed into the dealership.

Hope you're feeling better. I know the Rona is no fun. But then, neither is working on Fiat trucks.😜

Bermuda Triangle.....hahahaha.... I laughed pretty good at that one Wes. I know that feeling well!

The look on the Mrs. face was priceless! Especially, "It's a red". LOL

I use an old valve stem to keep the brake hoses from leaking when changing calipers. Unfortunately I have to replace a set of rear calipers today on my daughters 2010 Dodge Journey. Thankfully my son put the car on the lift so I don’t have to kneel on the floor with my old bones. Thanks for the video Wes!

Feel better soon. I made it this far, and am recovering, just still feel more tired than usual. That was one nasty brake fail. I think with the costs of rotors like that your brake turning machine may make a comeback. You’ll be the only garage in the area still doing it 😊.

I notice that the man who seems to fix trucks for a living is using an impact driver from Harbor Freight. That seems instructive.

that one guy who unsubbed when you pinched the line is now saying told ya so 😂

Wether you feel healthy or under the weather you always maintain your professionalism, sense of humor and teaching awareness. Much appreciated.

Glad you're feeling better man. Another classic video!

I think Max got back at you for calling in the exterminator. I had a 106° body temp once and started hallucinating. Required an ice bath to get back to reality. Glad you’re on the mend.

This should be your motto “Nothing is never that simple in my shop”. Have a Blessed One Sir.

The Bermuda Triangle of auto repair! 😵‍💫 Love it.

Nice job as always Wes! Feel better bro!

She's a keeper! Brings you a cold beer while your working in the garage OMG!

23:44 I think she just told Wes to 'man up' LOL She is great honey. Hope you feel better quickly Wes.

What’s funny is old VCRs used an extremely similar wiper/contact switch that failed all the time in the same manner. The gold plated track wore out or it just got plain dirty and the VCR would eat tapes or stop threading them. I guess nobody learned anything from that.

Get better Wes! Thanks for the video, looked like a rabbit hole to me. Glad it was isolated to that one corner of brake system.

Wes, I had an ambulance that the brake on one front side almost did the same thing. I found that the metal clamp that held the brake hose to the frame had rusted inside around the hose cutting off the fluid. In your area there must be much rust. I enjoy your show. You do a great job. Thank you. Jim April, Weymouth, MA.

Love your reference to the " BERMUDA TRIANGLE". 77 years living here, many years of similar work, in one of the most Saline atmospheres on earth, Rust is our National color, and the cockroach our National bird !!

Another great video Wes, I hope you feel better, took me a good month to get over it, hope goes quicker for you. Keep up the great work brother

I have changed many of the one way valve brake hoses. Keep up the good work Wes.

No spark and brakes. The Ram seal of approval 👍

The brakes just started making noise yesterday! I bet good old rust jacking under that bracket was the smoking gun. BTDT

In the 80’s I learned that if you heat a brake line with a torch it sometimes pops off and lights the fluid, along with your corvette on fire….

Hey Wes 👋, great video on the no crank. Hope you get to feeling better soon. The brakes on that dodge were just a little rough. But it would not be at Wes shop with out making some extra fun. You and the family have a great afternoon 👋

Keep up the great work Wes, and hope you feel better soon!

Wow always the fun repairs Wes has!! Way to not give in and as always you help folks out great video!

Do people pay so little attention to their vehicles? No way you couldn't hear those brakes.... Great work Wes, as usual.

Having lived the first 30 plus years of my life in Chicago, I always felt that the torch was one of my most important tools. You can't do much without one. Nice to see you cutting rotors, most people throw out good drums and rotors and buy new. Cutting is easy money and could be resurfaced while working on something else. Great video as always. The best. "Almost" makes me want to me to come visit Illinois.

I enjoyed it Wes. Always enjoy spending time with you.

Love how you take everything in stride. your channel is one of the best i watch. keep them coming!

I like driving my vehicles on the “deferred maintenance program” too. Hope you get over the bug quickly

Great vjo as always Wes. I know I used to see what appears to be this same brake issue with the 1st gen early 90's caravans...that metal bracket would rust jack and pinch off the flex line and seize up the caliper. Super common issue here in the rust belt. Good find...thanks for sharing!

Get better soon Wes. Always looking forward to the next episode.

My brain "lights up" every time a new video hits. Love this channel. 😀

I've always thought those Chrysler "keys" were so dumb either just do full keyless or a real key😂

Hope your feeling better Wes!

Always a great pleasure to see you ! 🙂 And, as usual, an excellent job. 👍 JC

You sounded a bit better at the end of the video than at the beginning. Must've been the "beverage". Your wife is a real sweetie. Hope you are making a good recovery. Look after yourselves. 👍👍👍🐶

That happened to me on a 93 GM chassis motorhome The left front caliper did not release I didn't realize it while I was driving it untilI smelled the heated brake pads I pulled over to check what was up and in a couple minutes the tire bloew a huge hole in the inner sidewall It was pretty scary I had it towed to a shop they replaced the caliper and the hose I almost had to change my jockies after that episode

Well, at least it wasn't a 3500... 🤷‍♂ I also avoided said flu by being a hermit. One trip to my parent's house and that was over. 😆The first week is the worst. Looks like you're already on the mend. 👍

Man, that was a good day. That crush washer didn't even fall off the banjo bolt into the brake fluid!

Another great video Wes. Hope your feeling better! 😀

I'm not sure why, but pretty much every 3/4 ton Ram I've worked on has extremely uneven brake wear like that. My theory is that the left front caliper is the shortest circuit of the hydraulic system so it gets the most pressure, but that isn't how hydraulics are supposed to work.

Glad you are feeling better, Wes. I am racking my brain trying to figure out how a brake hose gets blocked like that.....hummm.

I really enjoy watching your channel, your approach to fixing vehicles are amazing, but you get it!

Great Video, Wes. Thanks for the videos, always a treat.

I think some people turn up their radio and become oblivious to noise coming from their brakes!! I am with you do not understand how people can just let things go especially brakes!! Great video as always. Hope you get over the big C quickly..

Ahhh Wes... I had money on you never getting it! Hope you don't get any long term effects! Nothing any mechanic does has ever one story

Glad you're feeling better , love the channel.

Thanks for another video Wes. You're still my favourite KZfaq mechanic!

old caravans were known for internally collapsed brake hoses...acted like a one way check valve.

Someone is gonna say the brake hose was blocked because you pinched it, but in my experience they rust jack inside where that bracket is clamped around the hose where they bolt to the knuckle. They pinch inside there. Same thing happens to the Chevys. I've replaced many of those hoses.

I appreciate that you always take apart broken parts to show how things work.

Nothing like like watching Wes work while enjoying my second round of the greatest Chinese export ever. TY for posting Wes.

I hate how much we can do at home but now need computerized stuff to complete the job. I changed the sycro motor thing that changes the vent choice on a 2013 Caravan once. You still have to take it to the dealership to synchronize it. Such bs....

I have a theory why ppl dont seem to hear when their brakes are metal on metal, and this is from my own experience. Once the pad material wears off and things go metal on metal, stuff wears down to this point so quickly that once you do hear it, the metal part of the pads is already half worn down. This is what happened to me, i started hearing a grinding sound from the rear brakes, and just a day or two later the metal part of the inner pad on the rear drivers side was already half ground down in thickness and and also severely rust damaged, like those tabs that go into the bracket were basically completely gone. Later the same day the rear passenger side brake line popped. Yes it was a Subaru. To fix it would have been close to what i bought the vehicle for, so i stuffed it in a garage until i get it sold as a parts car.

Thanks for the content Mr. Wes, hope you can feel better.

Always enjoy your videos, you skills are admirable. Awesome patience, and diagnostic tech.

Wes did you buy the mint unicorn? It's always there and always inside where it should be.

I don't use grips to seal the old hose anymore as in my experience I think it damages the internal layer of the HP hose. I have some tapered plugs ready to use as a temporary stop tap. Speedy recovery Wes I'm sure that Redeye beverage will help.

Love all you do on here... keep it up.

For gods sake son take a break and get well. You’re the best mechanic on utube Don’t want you to die.

You know that you have a great channel when I hit the "thumbs-up" even before the video starts 😁 Hope you get that commie plague out of your system soon.

Flu re branded, don’t worry, you’ll be well soon.

Wes is awsome, very detailed and shows and explains everything he does, i see him as a great mechanic,. The dog is cool to.

Hope your recovery continues. Thank you.
