Love the way Andy explains everything, very calm and gives off a good demeanor.

For anyone out there that sees a bunch of videos like this from different techs and you don’t know too much and maybe just trying to learn, take it from me, a technician, this guy is absolutely who you wanna be watching. There’s a reason he’s the first in 2 years to diagnose that. A number of his videos now has impressed me with his diag skills and nowadays that’s 90% of the skill you need is diagnosis, and 90% of techs don’t diag right.

I can't stand "parts changers" who never check the full system and focus only on the expensive parts.
This man is a good mechanic 💯

….the brakes stay partially engaged as the pressure equalizes through the restriction

I wwnt through the same exact diagnosis with a 2005 Silverado. The customer had already had calipers, hoses, and pads on both sides. A new hard line from the drivers front block to the ABS module "without the kink in the line" and the left front was still continuously overheating. And finally a new master cylinder before getting to me. The passenger side was getting hotter than it should but nowhere near as hot as the drivers. I eventually diagnosed it as the old master cylinder had been dripping brake fluid into the booster causing the diaphragm to swell and not fully release when letting off the brake pedal. I replaced the booster and it fixed the issue. I got a normal temperature reading after my test drive and only a 4 degree difference in temperature between the front rotors. After that I preformed a complete fluid flush and exchange just for good measure as DOT 3 fluids boiling temperature is way lower the some of the readings I had recorded in my diagnosis drives. And at no extra charge to this customer. He was so grateful for this one job that he then began to bring all of his Express cargo vans to me when they needed anything fixed. I went from just me in a single bay in a literal storage facility. And third hand lift. To building a 8 bay garage with new bend pack lifts, hunter alignment rack and machine. Various hunter equipment. And my own Snap-On pitbox custom made for me all from doing a little extra and thoroughly for a huge carpet cleaning business. Take pride in your work no matter how insignificant the job and charge the customer fairly. You absolutely never know how it can change your life.

After 2 days of brake problems id be worried let alone 2 years

This isn't that uncommon. The high pressure bypasses the kink but the caliper won't back off because there isn't enough pressure to return the fluid.

I was a career mechanic for 20 years before I got into facility management. I learned early on to troubleshoot a system, not a problem. I have a brake issue. Ok so I’m going to inspect the entire brake system starting at the wheels and ending at the pedal itself. Issues like this are easily prevented by the right technique.

Finally a mechanic that doesn't just use swap out and cross your fingers!

[ipoopedtoday]

[tomioka]

This is another example for why nobody but me touches my vehicle.

[TechTronics]

2 years worth of brake issues? Dude 🍀 he still alive.

[ajmilano]

If you look closer you can see the OTHER line of the same color is ALSO
KINKED !

[AnthonyChhan]

I was thinking you withheld turning the camera on the car to show us a complete disaster. But, it was actually a well maintained car and the owner actually showed modest efforts to remedy the issue. No disaster here.

[charlesjackson]

That kinked brake line will cause you a lot of different problems..😮 It's good you detected that.👍. So many others would not..

[billseay]

Good catch on the kinked brake line from the ABS unit. Will remember that.

[rodmarr]

All of us rust-belt techs are looking this superclean vehicle going "new brake lines!...why?"
Those fuel lines are sparkling by the way...😁
