We hit 4 million views on YouTube yesterday! Celebrating today by shooting another video :). I've got a back log of videos that I'm almost finished editing. Those will be hitting the members only page for early access while they wait their turns for public release. Hoping to have them all uploaded this weekend. Thank you to everyone that's watched, liked, commented, and subscribed! And if you haven't subscribed, what are you waiting for? :)

We currently don't have internet or phones at the shop. Even cell service is out for some reason. Had to come home to post this. We'll return calls as soon as Comcast Business figures out how the internet works.

I've broken plenty of ratchets and sockets removing 1fz crank pulleys. I've never broken the actual pulley before. This was using a torque multiplier and long ratchet. Thought the bolt broke free at first only to realize the ears had blown off of the pulley!!!

I recorded another episode of Cruiser Chat last night. Had some really good questions. I changed podcast hosting companies to try a new format so it doesn't pop up if you were subscribed to the old version. I streamed this one on Youtube and then edited it down to an actual podcast. The new software lets people join in via a link like zoom as opposed to the app style in the last iteration. Last nights was just questions in chat though. I'll add links to Spotify, Apple, and Youtube.

I'm going to give the podcast another try. I'm still working on figuring out a good time to have the "live recordings". In the meantime, I created a link to let people leave voicemails of their questions. Then I can add the audio to the show as i answer them. https://www.speakpipe.com/otrammcruis... Feel free to sue the link to ask questions and leave comments. Also open to different ideas of things to do on the podcast.

We added some new tools for tracking down drivetrain noises. They work so well, I thought I'd make a quick video.

We got a set of AES Wave's chassis microphones for our Picoscope. These made pinpointing drive line noise so much easier. https://www.aeswave.com/Piezo-Tra...

It's starting to get toasty outside. If you're AC isn't keeping up, we've got you covered. From simple recharges, to leak testing, to electrical diagnostics we've got the tools to get the job done. We can handle conventional R134a refrigerants as well as the newer R1234yf. Let us know if we can help!
