The sarcasm is unreal. As a technician who is going back to school for a stem degree I appreciate your Channel and humor. May the scientific method and sarcasm guide you.

As a newly hired mechanic apprentice, I greatly appreciate what I've been learning on your page. Thank You

I laughed harder than I probably should at the meth comment.

those tubs at the end, priceless. might as well ask the parts counter people for advise. i've been there.. my family does it that way. their go to is always a fuel filter, plugs and wires. i've even changed out a fuel pump on a car that i knew was good just to prove a point to my father inlaw. now he doesn't question me under the hood. admittedly i never figured out the very rare and random stall that thing had. it was a $350 car that replaced a free car i also had to fix. well close to free made a couple MINOR fixes, cv shaft, brake pads, valve pan gasket and re wired the plug wires where a family member screwed them up. less than a day's work. got sideways there, i've always been against fixing what's not broken. i've been wrenching since i could drive and literally a self taught person. just bought a manual and went at it. i've been the parts cannon guy. those days are at an end. bought a graphing scanner and been learning this stuff. i can atleast carry a conversation with people having knowledge and see what the likely issue is on the trims. i just want to say thanks for putting the info out there.

The big spoon and lighter was a nice touch.

You prove to me that everytime I watch your channel, there is a must be something added to my knowledge. Thanks

“Prolly jus an oxygen sensor or something” 🤣🤣

I am a young auto mechanic from Canada and watch your channel often. I particularly like your tip, tricks and hacks videos, (the DLC connector tied to the key is something I never thought of) :). Your other videos explaining concepts such as fuel trim, voltage drop etc. are also very clear. For a DIY, I honestly think you are well ahead of many so-called "professional" auto mechanics. Wayyyyy to many guys go the parts-changing route. Thanks for your content and dedication to diagnostics. I like working with certainty and not by means of "plug and pray".

Scotty is always getting love. Dude knows how to make videos and get viewers, don't matter if he is right or wrong.

Haha ahh that last hack I love it. You made em TASTE IT !! 😂😂😂

There are some really great tips here - such a valuable series of videos. The 'Kilmer Lucky Dip' had me in stitches! The lengths you'll go to for a capital piece of piss-taking. lol

when i grow up, i want to be like you. i'm sixty, so i guess i have to run backwards for a bit.

BROOOOO!! HILARIOUS!!!! & DEAD ON, WITH THE PART BUCKET! 😂😂😂

Always learning something from this cat!

Came here to learn how to be a hack and pick up a few tricks...

That last bit about the rando parts box was the best. :D I remember when I was first starting out turning wrenches, and all of the guys would tell me to just replace X part. While not ONE person would ever say, why not use a OHM meter on it first, or invest in a power probe, or learn how to read schematics.... Sigh, if I could only go back in time.

I have a fingernail trick. It works for conventional dirt (soil); haven't tried auto dirt yet. Just spray directly under your nails with a garden hose. That's it. I can get my nails 100% clean in 5 seconds.

good to see you back Matt! good tips! I like the parts box idea! great for us 98%'ers for sure!

I'm really wouldn't call myself a DIY mechanic but I really enjoyed some of the hacks that you provided in this and other videos. Great job!

Excellent tip with the boxes! I'll be recommending this on forums and facebook groups from now on!

Meth addict is wat got me cracken lol ....nailed it ....made my night

Mmmm!! High volumetric efficiency forever! Love your humor!!!

LOVE the sarcasm! Didn't expect to see the common problems boxes! Neat trick +1

Love this guy. Currently watching his engine swap videos. Huge project I have ahead of me 🤣

Here in canada, hockey pucks are plentiful, we have used them for numerous things other than chasing around the ice Great tip on the bar soap under the fingernails, gonna try that tomorrow lol Further to your slip on shoes trick and running inside to the bathroom, I always hang on to empty vinegar/anti freez containers etc and keep one handy to prevent that trip into the house

I have a great hack for lowering the spare on trucks, use the jack. slide the jack underneath the side of the spare, raise the jack so that you can lower the tire about half way down, while it's there you can drop the cable while it has no tension easier and then drop the jack with the tire on it and roll it out . no wrestling or struggling to lift just slide it out using the jack

Thanks for the laugh on the parts boxes. I'm gonna make some up for a coworker that diagnosis cars that way.

Very funny! I'm a huge believer in practicing diagnosis always even if it means taking time to learn something new on the clock like a ninja. You just earned yourself a subscriber keep those parts can and jokes coming!! :-)

Great tips especially with hockey puck and soap. Thanks. Looking forward seeing more videos and checking out your website. 😎👍

Absolutely so correct with the parts lucky dip for parts dippy dippers. Thanks for the sensible suggestions. I am in Australia, and with the 2% rule, that makes only 2 people here in this country are like you, I am one , hope the other is watching this channel. Looking forward to your future videos.

There is such a thing as a nail brush. I think they sell them at Dollar Tree for $1. That or your trick is an idea that should be shared with most of the cooking channels on KZfaq. Almost hilarious that a mechanic is concerned about dirt under his nails when few of the chefs are. Bon appetit!

Hi Matt, I'm a new subscriber and have a story. bear with me it might be a little long. I build homes, I do the wood framing. We build the wood structure here in So. Cal. Well, years ago when we got up to building the roof structure I would get a big block of wood. A 2x8 or a 2x10 block of wood. I would then sit down with my calculator and start peramulating all the different length's of all the pieces of wood. ( Rafters, Hips, Valleys, Rafter jacks ect....) After I had all my numbers documented, I would take my sharpie or magic marker and label that block of wood---- THE Tablet of Knowledge!! That term became very famous in my neck of the woods. Needless to say I never in a bizzilion years expected another person to use that term. But..... You have the white board of knowledge!! Very cool. I guess it's a small world! I'm learning tons from your videos. Brian

Thank you, more essential tips and advice for us diyer's priced out of reasonably maintaining our car's and more! The amount of pieces of equipment i have fashioned from good but unused materials has literally saved me a fortune, thank you again! :)

Nice tips! Enjoyed the new "The Price is Right" episode Matt...so true!!

Great video I’ve used those jack pads for pinch weld jacking for years love them. Thanks for sharing buddy

Hey im almost completely new to mechanics and everything in a car looks like random tubes and things that lead to nowhere but im slowly getting better and your videos really help me understand things better thank you for sharing your knowledge

Hi Matt,thank you to share these DIY tips.Good place for DIY mechanic in the home garage

New sub, I am so thankful for your advice and it's such a nice thing you are doing.

Got to get a pair of those 'anti divorce' shoes, also love the soap idea. Always start out with gloves but they soon rip and before I can get a new pair on, oil everywhere. Love your humour too, though the 88%ers will now be searching e-bay for those boxes.

6:00 - S. Killmer will be proud of this tip. Hahaha. Good to see you again Matt.

I am glad you said the box jack was a joke. I was setting mine up when you announced that it was a joke.

Those boxes at the end, priceless!

I would like to see a Tips and Tricks part 4 video with information about what you're using for getting diagnostic and service information to repair your vehicles. I'm a part time mechanic and only work on a couple cars a week. I had been using ALLDataDIY but I just went to their site today and the pricing went up from $15.95 per year for a vehicle to $19.99 per month. I'm at a loss for affordable forms of service information and I'm sure there are others in a similar situation to the one I'm in. I can't really afford to pay $180+ per month for the volume of work I do. Thanks again for all of your awesome content!!!!

If you don't have a spare hockey puck lying around (I certainly don't), you can buy rubber jack adapters like that for very little. I don't know why they are not supplied as standard, since the alternative is a ruined sill.

Why on earth didn't you mention the BBB Industries site before? That will be a huge help. Best thing by far.

snarky boxes FTW. subscribed

Everyone needs a random parts box.. Love the humour matt... Its been a while

that bbb industries one is great, thank you very much!

Thanks for that last tip. Will help me a bunch

I was half expecting to see Killy jump out of the box (Scotty in the Box.....)....or the box doing a burn out down the street.... REV UP YOUR PARTS CANNON!!!

Hello Matt, I just want to say that your videos are very helpful. I am also an addict with almost 2 years sobriety. I used the same...thank god I am better now. I will sure ly subscribe and support your channel.

New year new trick for me soap under the nail awesome., Thanks

You can get a box of 50 disposable plastic pipettes for a few quid. Very useful for all kinds of fluid transfer.

I like see you again Matt greats tips, a big hug my friend

I'm hoping I learn some things from you, I don't have the fancy diagnostic tools but there still seems like alot to be learned

Hey Matt YOUR Hilarious

Hey Matt we need more scientifically approached diagnostic videos!... cool O2 sensor shirt btw

Homie I loved the hockey puck hack

when you showed the box i literally thought you were going to pull out a cannon and load the parts in it lol

I saw many good tips, a few of which I will use, thank you. I like your box at the end. I think that would be a great Identifix subscription replacement for DIY guys. You have a good imagination Matt.

Love your videos, the sarcasm is a good bonus

Congrats on recovery!

Hey matt, hope all is well, love your videos, oh, and I had another friend complain about a "silent noise" coming from his brakes..not another one..🤣🤣🤣

Great tips, and humor! Thanks,

Great video Matt and hadn’t heard from you in awhile. Hope all is well and everything is going your way! 😀👍

Good stuff, need to go back and watch the pt1 & pt2!!

The first video of yours that I watched I understood the connection between you and your name (schrodingers box). To me it's a practical joke on scientist's whether the cat is dead or alive. They don't know, they can only guess, much like the 98% they say it's both..........dead and alive LOL. To me the name fits perfect with your sense of irony and sarcasm. I don't know if this is what you were going for, just how I see it. Also, shame on you! You got me with the box's!! I really thought a terrific hack was coming.........I should have known LOL

Matt, thanks for making another video bro. Keep it up !good to see you it's been awhile.

Dude, you have great taste in cars I have a 97 T/A that is my pride and joy!

And as for the box method, have you got those charts in a pdf you could make available? Do you have a list of all the parts needed or possible for every error code? To avoid buying so many boxes, can I just take take the list of possible parts for an error code to Autozone when I see that code? That way, I push the storage of the parts off on them, and I only have to buy parts for each code I see. Efficiency is the key to saving money and effort.

I still chuckle when I get a notification for the “Welfare Channel”... keep up the great work.

Thanks for the soap hack for the fingernails!

Always informative and entertaining

These are better than Car Wizards!

Love this series

Good to see u again hope to see a few more video much appreciated if u can all the best

Always great wisdom found here .. this is the Dorman Parts R Us channel right?? Bruddah, when I getting my spoon back?

Great tip on the wiring diagrams. Unfortunately, the wiring diagrams at BBBIndustries is now very incomplete. They suffered a DoS attack some time ago and took the site down. They moved all their diagrams from Revbase to their own server but, unfortunately, all the diagrams never made it back. I always check there first, and can always find a few diagrams for every car but have found myself now having to purchase AlldataDIY subscriptions to get the actual diagrams I need. It's frustrating as I used to use them a LOT.

was just trying to use a turkey baster to remove some old gas...worked like crap...wish i saved some syringes from my meth days like you did lol

Careful about suggesting the magic solution box idea. Parts stores might take this idea and run with it, offering a "bundled solution" to common problems. ;-)

Great information, Thank you!!

That’s was awesome

You probably have covered this... Your most important tester is between your ears! Code says miss #4 cylinder, "Intermittent" and and everything looks good, and not missing now. Swap plug with #3, wire w/ #2, coil w/ #1. Clear codes and drive until light re-appears. Change the part moved to the "New"offending cylinder. If still #4, consider injector.

I was using a metal pully to reduce my contact area never considered a hockey puck or the groove on it👍

Learn a lot, thanks！👍👍👍

Mr Cats... that presentation was epic as usual... im concerned with the end hack tho... i mean.. OFFICIALLY... that was Not a box... more of a TUB, you could agree... however the TITLE of the boxtub fits its intended reference - quite well... 😆.. you're great man, learned tons from you

Haha 😂 Really like your sense of humor 👍

you're a god

for dirt under the fingernails, i usually just get a knife/pick and carefully scrape it out

98%ers love it! Lmfao Loved the hockey puck hack.

YESSIR! welcome "back" !!

OMG! I almost suffocated laughing so much!

You da man Thanks

I myself like to keep a shade tree handy!

If you have a broken hard disk drive you can get two strong magnets and a mirror (the platter) that won't break when you drop it.

Will use the soap hack.

I miss schrader valve equipped injector rails.

I need one of those 'boxes' for my left over parts cannon failures lol!

I have 1 tip and 1 trick/hack..... Tip: try washing your hands with liquid laundry soap ( with oxi works best) it's absolutely amazing how great it works and skin feels good afterwards too! And for the trick/hack... Just trick someone from AutoZone to "fix" the car before hand.... By the time they give up you can automatically rule out the new O2 sensors, battery, alternator, maf, purge valve, the 2nd and 3rd sets of O2 sensors and 3 gas caps lol

BBB industries as of Jan 2020 no longer has wiring diagrams. Any other sites you use for troubleshooting?
