1. $569 for that machine …me likie but me no buyie !

2. If you want or need dyed smoke oil, Amazon sells uv dyed smoke oil. Two 8oz bottles is about $30+/-

3. not being rude i live in PA but if people would WASH the under side once and while maybe the frame would last.

4. Good video really appreciate it but what was the issue with the truck that made you do a smoke test ?

5. I failed inspection on my 2010 Chevy Silverado (5.3L engine) for "Evaporator Vent Solenoid Circuit Status Incomplete". The Evaporator Vent Solenoid Status = Venting (never changes). I have tried the "Drive Cycle" procedure for at least 50 miles… but no change. No MIL codes. The solenoid works fine when I apply 12V (can hear it clicking, and I cannot blow air through it when "closed"). I don't have a scan tool. But if I had a wiring problem to the solenoid… wouldn't I get a MIL code?

6. Wanna know something crazy, I started at a new shop and literally TODAY I saw this repair kit in the back of the shop and I have never seen one in my life and no idea what it was. What are the ODDS that of all the videos that I watch today I see you use it.

7. Awesome 😊

8. What is the scan tool you are using?

9. Good Job man love your videos!

10. Whenever I watch your videos, which is most everyday, I marvel at all of the various tools that you possess! You certainly need each one of them to assist your diagnosis, but people do not consider the amount of moohlah that you have invested in all of these when they ask, why is it so expensive to fix?
    Good job Eric O, I really enjoy your videos each and every one!😅

11. If they are charging 2500 for that gobb job I wouldn't worry about charging for that line that guy is done been reemed out anyway lol

12. P.s. I love your humor!😂😂😂

13. Eric I love your show. I have been a tech for over 62 years and still work 3 days a week. I pick up tips and knowledge from you every day. I live in northern Ohio so I know what you deal with. Keep it up! I can't wait to see your next episode!

14. I dont know if youll read this. But i have a 07 chevy new body has the Evap code and recently i noticed something. I was going to get gas and when i went to take the cap off it sucked in air into the tank. i started pumping gas and it kept on cutting the nozzle off. Then i took it to my works office and checked if was going to suck air and this time it did and heard popping i closed it back immediately and sent under the truck and saw my gas tank sucked itself in, after i removed the gas cap again the tank went back to normal. i might change this part to see if it will fix it.

15. If I lived closer, I would be a customer

16. Awesome

17. So, I have a 2011 suburban that’s thrown the Evap code for quite some time. I have exhausted all of the suggestions/possibilities outside of the smoke test. How much should I be looking to pay for the test and repair? I am aware that depending on where the leak is coming from can determine how much the repair is. Just looking for a ballpark number.

18. Do you know if the capless fuel tube will cause evap leak I watch your channel always could you throw a comment in one of your vids thanks

19. A bad evap leak, will it smoke white at the tail pipe? This is on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 crew cab.

20. Holy smokes that was great i have used dies on a/c systems but that smoker is to cool , i am still the student thank you Eric

21. measly $2500 for angle iron lol

22. Great video

23. Welds looked pretty good from this end, but wow 2500 bucks is definitely special skill pricing

24. Uh ohh! Someone is coming up on 1 million subs!

25. Very useful.

26. Great video. Thanks

27. You probably could say that line was hard as crap like taryl would say

28. it is called a compound gauge….I think

29. There's your problem lady

30. As always u rock brother! Learn.a lot from u. Ty

31. “It’s as handy as a two pocket tee shirt”. That’s a new one for me. I hope you don’t mind if I steal it for personal use.

32. As others have stated, Manometer is for low pressures and magnehelic is for low pressure differential. Another great vid though!!!

33. I think manometer is the word you're looking for. I use one on my pellet stove after I clean it.

34. Very informative, but I wish he would have shown the entire diagnosis method with the scanner.

35. how can I operate the purge and vent valves without a high dollar scan tool

36. Could you mix in the UV die for AC in the oil?

37. “Handy as a two pocket shirt.” => Eric must have some Southern in him with all his great sayings.
    Hope that Eric sends General Motors a fruit cake at Christmas since he makes such a living wage off their products.

38. I fixed my break booster vac tube with a ink pen . Took pen apart and spiced hose with it.

39. Eric does the Vanna White move while demonstrating the Red Line EasyConnect box!

40. You're good brother

41. How much do you charge to find a evap leak? My money light is on my 06 jeep liberty an the code says very small leak an I changed the gas cap and it still says it….

42. I took my truck to a shop who smoke tested it and said they couldn't find any smoke. Unsure what to do now as the light came back immediately. Find another mechanic and share your video or should I just start replacing parts?

43. Evap system videos like this is gonna help me get the evap system on my car working for emissions
