So glad to see a mechanic so happy about saving a customer money. It's so fun to see their face as you tell them that the flush worked. Fun to tell them it didn't work that well. Instead, it worked fantastically!
@robbrobb2161
Great job Eric. The people in your town are extremely blessed to have you as a resource. : - )
@adambatko4773
The difference between an honest mechanic, and a parts replacer. Always looking to help the customer save a buck and still get the job done right. Top notch my guy

Mrs O!! He's playing with the water gun again!!! 😂😂
@richardbambenek2601
The joy you get from saving a customer some money speaks to your character. You are a good man Charlie Brown
@joncraw29
Eric, not only are you an excellent troubleshooter and mechanic, you seem to be a really great person. The residents in your area are extremely lucky to have you.
@fastidioushandyman901
As a plumber I'd recommend a Submersible water pump. The pump you're using is not really a pump, it doesn't make a lot of pressure, it just "creates flow." They are commonly used on boilers for in home heating. I use a submersible pump to flush out tankless water heaters and just leave it all in a bucket when done, hoses and all. Great video as always, Eric!

On a 40°c day in Australia I'm watching you fix a heater and love it lol
@vwwrenchie314

Don't sell yourself short when you say you are not a miracle worker. To that customer who doesn't have the funds to replace the heater core, you are a miracle worker. I have been in her position and the flush didnt work so I had to drive around in the dead of winter in Chicago with no heat until I had enough money for a heater core but the van ended up going into the junkyard. You could have done what a ton of mechanics would have and just said no you need a core but you didnt. You are honest, caring and very respective of your customers and thats getting really hard to find these days. You are also very thorough and use common sense which again seems to get lost now a days. Keep up the great work and I look forwards to watching more of your videos.

Great video Eric O.. CLR is pretty caustic stuff, that "slimy" feeling is actually your skin's oils and thin layer of skin being partially dissolved by that solution that is about a 30-50% solution of the CLR you made, you don't need to make it that strong, could weaken the aluminum core and fittings. Should be wearing gloves and glasses with that solution. Stay safe and definitely one of the best channels out there
@douglash3129
Here we go again taking care of your customers and saving them money! Way to go Mr. O.! Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. O and the family! :_PartsCan::_GirlMech::_BoyMech:♥

The second you pulled that water gun out I knew instantly “he’s gonna make ‘pew pew sounds’.” And he did! Never, ever disappoints his fans!! 👏👏👏👏 nice fix too by the way
@rayleonard21
I didn't use CLR, but just flushed my 2015 Ram 2500 at about 100,000 miles and got back heat on the right side of my cab. This was all before SMA! Great practical knowledge to help us!! Thank you Mr O.
@TimTheTerrible
Back in the late '80s I worked for a guy laying hardwood floors, and he had a worn-out old box truck with no heat. Early one winter morning we found ourselves at a jobsite an hour or so early, so we basically had to sit in the truck and shiver while we waited for the homeowner to show up and open the property for us. After about twenty minutes I talked him into shutting the truck off and letting me swap the heater hoses. Five minutes later we had all the heat we could ask for. Of course, a week later the heater core ruptured and filled the floor of the truck with nasty brown water, but that's another story.
@krsa2003
Not only an excellent mechanic but honest. It's refreshing to see a mechanic who actually knows how to diagnose but helps customers save money where he can.
@kirbyschneider4187
Another great job Eric! You saved her $2000! Had a 2007 Dodge ram, and was quoted $2,500 for a new heater core. Core cost $50, the rest in labor to tear the inside down to the firewall!
@wallingj68
Yay! Another win for the customer courtesy of Mr O! So glad that you were able to restore her heat and save her a few bucks in the process. You are a good man Mr O, and that's why most of us are here.
