I find that a drain pan full of hot, thoroughly opaque oil is a much better dropped-part trapping device, than is a tub of coolant, but hey, whatever works for you! 😁

Interesting linear actuator mechanism. I'll guess that if there's no position sensor then it may just stall the stepper to get a known starting position. Cameras are prone to collateral damage on KZitem technical channels. I treat them as being a consumable.

My 1994 B3000 had failed emissions testing with high NOx at low speed due to a lean condition. The mechanic told me that I had a bad EGR valve. You should have seen his face when I told him that there was no EGR valve on my truck. Later, I found a large hole in the plastic snorkel tube that connects to the throttle body. After I repaired the hole, the truck passed inspection.

Eric, have you been on vacation? The reason I asked is that the first part of the video has excellent shots of your arms and I don't see any burn marks, cuts, skin graphs, third degree burns or any of the typical "tatoos" you normally have on your arms. Also, they looked unusually clean. I like the new title page format by the way. Guess it was time to change things up. How do you like the $700 Autel you're using in this video. I'm thinking of upgrading my DS708 for this MK808TS and was wondering what your opinion of this tool was. Denny
