It’s finally here, the first offering from the ETCG 2.0 series. With this series I hope to take ETCG to different places outside of the garage and into the street so to speak. Wells manufacturing was kind enough to allow me to visit their facility so that me and you the viewer could learn a little bit about what it takes to make some of the parts that are so vital to your vehicles operation. I had a great time on this trip and I hope you enjoy this video as I had a great time making it. I’d like to thank everyone at Wells for taking the time to be interviewed and for showing me around their facility. I’d especially like to thank Mark Hicks for getting this whole thing started and for driving me around Fond du Lac for shooting. I strongly recommend checking out Wells’ YouTube channel as they have some great videos on the operation and repair of emissions and electronic systems, here’s a link:

Lastly you might also want to watch the behind the scenes vlog that I did on my trip to Wells on my ETCG1 channel.
Thanks again to everyone at Wells for having ETCG in your facility, it was a great opportunity and I really enjoyed it.

Awesome
Just discovered this while visiting WELLS web site. Eric its been a long time. A follow up visit is in order. Thanks good review.
Wonderful!
Wells sells their products to stores like AutoZone. Those stores then rebox those products under their brand name. So if you purchase a Duralast ICM, you're actually buying a reboxed Wells ICM. And you can see it. If you look up the part number on the WellsVE web site then look on AutoZone's site, you will see they both have the same part number for the exact same product. If the part numbers don't match, then it's a good chance the product isn't a reboxed Wells product and may be a reboxed component from another company.
What a great video Eric!
Thanks so much! I shared it with a young friend who is a UGA engineering student as well as my son who is a HS senior and has been excepted to several engineering colleges including UGA.
You are making a positive impact my friend.
Thanks to your camera guy too. He does incredible work on all your vids.
Wow I'm only 50 miles from Fon du lac and had no idea they were there!
I don't know how its made, but i do know that's off a 3.8 litre v6 and it costs like $150 for a new one.
this gives me a greater appreciation to what it takes to make a car part.
Great job Eric!! Loved it
@ 18:20 what is that "green thing" if it isn't the laser? If I'm not mistaken infrared light can be seen through a camera, which is what we're seeing here, no?
Its look as very interesant factory. Nice job Eric. Thx
Finger Condom 😮 lol
My oil level sensor is from Wells.
Really loved the manufacturing of the processes !!!!
Nice to see some things are still made in Wisconsin.
This video is awesome. Really good information & what an awesome staff. Anyone know what percent of GM ignition modules these guys build?
good vid something i was always wondering thanks for clearing up my question
Mr Eric Emmeritus, Man i would have to commend you for all you do, your are a great instructor and very easy to comprehend. Your videos are owesome and very educative, i wish i had know about you two years ago, but all the same its never too late.
more powers to your elbows.
A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO MAN.
IF this is the same wells that builds the ignition switches for 50's-70's fords from autozone, They would be better if made in china. Put key in, Back falls off. Very bad crimps holding it on or better yet, has an internal failure and starter will not disengage and your engine is left running because you can't pull the battery cables off…
out of a 3800 series 2
Eric, when you get your own TV show, please don't change a thing
wells sucks, standard is better..true story
>implying there are sweatshops in Japan
LMAO "oh thats our vibration table"
"popular with the ladies"
its always good to see a company that goes the extra mile to make sure the product it sells is of the best quality and worksmanship possible
yes the very best stamp you can find on a part is the "MADE IN USA" none of that taiwan china or japanese crap made in a sweat shop by a five year old lol
Awesome Video, when I was in trade school years ago we went to Stanley Tools to see how Wrenches were forged and assembled, keep that one in mind for a video, how wrenches are made, or maybe air tools.
This video is really impressive, way to go.
@Faqurkowch That might be fun. 🙂
Im surprised you don't have a show on speed channel or the new Discovery Velocity bro, I think many curious gear heads and non-gearheads would tune in to catch your show.
@MrTee448 I liked this one too. I actually did do more of these, check out the Airtex videos.
@knunne1 I like that part too. I hope to be releasing the Airtex videos which are similar to this one in the not too distant future so stay tuned. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks to EricTheCarGuy and Wells Manufacturing for this behind the scenes and educational video, I learned a lot. It makes you appreciate the components we replace, during a repair, more. I also like like the fact it is American made and the quality and pride they put into it.
@Gizmopflege I love this video, thanks for the comment.
@needmorediesel Yea, perhaps they will have me back at some point, I really liked Fond du Lac.
didnt know you were from wisconsin eric, im from wisconsin as well.
