"What did I grow a spit my coffee across the room and laughed out loud. Sometimes a few words is better than a picture.

Really enjoyed the video. Your explanation of the evap system is very effective.

Anyone else click the like button before Eric starts the intro? I do that just so I don't forget at the end and a new video starts automatically. ;-)

I love how you asked, ”Can you say Christmas?” Then a few seconds later-“Did I grow a V?” Ha ha! Love your channel. My 2009 Silverado LTZ 5.3L is exhibiting a weird albeit subtle behavior and an EVAP code 445 i think. It cycles on and off while in cruise on freeway about 60mph in 6th gear. You can hear it trying to do something, then it stops-then 30-60 seconds later does it again for 10 seconds, over and over. No loss of power. Runs great. I cleared the code, takes about 3 weeks for it to show up on the money light again-but it is in permanent for now.

I go between you and pine hollow diag you guys are great to watch very educational thank you !

What helps a lot is when you get a hook inside of a hose to separate it from a fitting, spray some WD-40 onto the space between the tool and the fitting. That has help me remove and install hoses during my 37 years of turning a wrench for a living.

"Because it clicks, we know it's good." Yeah, you did trick me on that one. Thank you, I needed that.

[robertrosicki]

Eric, You should have hit that vent valve a few times with your new purse, that would jar the hoses loose . Got the purse line from Cameraman, blame him .

[MrSpartanicus]

I love when he uses the power probe, helps me feel more confident using mine.

Beer will also make plastic jugs expand when in a warm car, we used to go to the Nationals at Thunder Valley and you could not take cans or bottles into the pit side of the drag strip so we would buy a keg and use that to fill up jugs...miss those good ole days :)

Hello from Yuma Arizona. Yesterday was at the local Hondoooo dealership getting my CRV serviced, watched your videos while I waited.

[jamesu]

Thanks for the video Eric. I see you are getting hammered by the snow this morning. Be safe!

The furnace is just a gentle hum in the background. Reminds me of my father's transmission shop in the winter. Not that we have winters like y'all.

[jimclifford]

You know it's going to be a good day when you wake up and a notification that there is a new video from Eric. Thank you Sir!

[agmcme]

I know it's early but this is my vote for SMA video of the year

[mr.anderson]

had a 2003 silverado with the 4.8 LS. also had the evap codes. replaced and relocated the evap system still had the codes, i emailed black bear preformance and had them delete my evap system and codes via mail in tune. Never had a problem fueling up or a check engine light again. Sold it with 276, 000 miles extremely solid and reliable truck even in the Wisconsin salt belt.

[joebuckley]

Very thoughtful and meaningful explaination Mr. O. That certainly cleared up some questions I had, thx.

[ernestopenaloza]

Outstanding video. Your videos are very educational and have helped me and my partner solve many issues in our tiny service shop.

[damiensintes]

Awesome videos, very informative. Living in the rust belt, the rust on those vehicles is crazy bad. Glad to see you have the hacks to get around most of it.

[danfalley]

Good video Eric. Those things are basically just disposable in dusty conditions where we live

[stuspring]

Please say Christmas! We need more of it!
