No, not those kind of tunes! We're talking about MUSIC! Music in the shop can be a moral booster or a point of contention, but it's a big part of most technicians' work day. We'll talk about different genres,  time periods, covers, favorite bands, & more!

Brain Mann Joins me on the show this week to discuss how many of the fixes to the complex issues we see on vehicles end up being basic in nature. Voltage drop, broken wires, bad fuses- These end up being the cause of many problems we see. How can we break down the complexity of the systems/components to find the source efficiently and accurately?

On this weeks episode I share some vehicle issues where I've reached a limit in my current testing abilities, forcing me to decide on making a call with out being 100% confident in the diagnosis. Ideally, testing should be able to prove out exactly where the fault lies, but is there a point where you've exhausted your methods, and making your best guess is the right move? What else can we do when we reach a limit in our testing capabilities? The 2 vehicles covered are a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and a 2009 Nissan Altima.

This week on the show I share a case study on a 1999 Volvo S70 that has been sitting since 2017. The engine will start and run one time after a capacitive discharge, but once the ignition is cycled, it becomes a crank-no-start until the battery is disconnected again. There is a YouTube video with PowerPoint to complement this episode.

We take on the hero cars, the problems nobody else wants, we make used WCM's work in 2010 Dodge Avengers... but should we? Zack Mcclain joins me on the show this week to discuss working on "hero" cars. Does it make sense from a business standpoint? We do we want to take on these types of challenges? How do you make the call to move on or dive in?

CJ Geibe joins me on the show this week. Recently I posted a request in the FB group for a known good waveform on a 19 Jeep Wrangler with the updated 3.6L engine. This engine had misfires on cylinders 2, 4, & 6, along with a noticeable difference in compression bank to bank. CJ recognized the problem and was able to guide me to a solution. The cause of the issue was rather interesting.
