(Pt 2 - 4th of July Special) Ram ABS Saga...(CEL ON, Can't Pass Inspection!)

You'll love Dormans new video, "bulletproof pentastar" not an oem part in sight, Ivans hell 😂

I like the way you dont panic when everything goes wrong Ivan, and just laugh, good luck....Fred

Whatever you got, I need some. Your personality alone is gold. I would be beyond flustered because I am so old school. I still remember vividly the day I realized that there was a difference between metric and SAE. True story.

The repair job that keeps on giving. It must be madding when no one really knows what the correct part numbers are

Had a 2015 Ram. Drove phenomenally well. Very comfortable. Towed great. Zero problems. Just had a feeling I'd run into this kind of stuff eventually. I sold it and put my 2000 Excursion back into service with some small fixes.

Sometimes it can be a pain trying to bleed a brake system that's been all apart. I did a master cylinder on a GMC Sierra recently that was a nightmare to get bled right. I used a pressure bleeder probably did 5 or 6 complete bleeds plus the ABS Pump bleed procedure several times also. I did finally get it bled though, never had that much trouble bleeding a brake system before. Not sure why that truck was such a pain.

The VIN re-write went better than I expected. Sometimes when manufacturers make running changes within the model year it can be confusing what you have and what you need to repair it. In 500,000 miles the 'ol Marquis has never given me any issues with the anti-lock brakes, so the next time I turn the key it will fail. Your shirt didn't come off on this one; I want to see the conclusion. GREAT VIDEO!

New OEM repair parts availability is a real problem, good luck with the older trucks.

that ABS and brake work was a very tough job..my old Civic is not leaving me..ever...Outstanding work,I'm glad somebody gets it right,

What a saga with that thing. Kudos to Ivan for his determination.

It is never fixed until Ivan is wearing his Rock Star sunglasses!

No wonder I like watching Ivan. A customer dropped by 2 weeks ago. He told me about a local shop could not repair his car ABS system. I got it under my shade tree. Plugged my scanner in. A few ABS codes popped up. He had told me that the shop had tried. I took a look at the module. The harness was not completely seated. Cleaned up the connector and reseated it. This time less codes. Still not happy. After spending a few hours of back and forth. Bad module. Found one nearby. Since I'm working I don't have the luxury of spending time all day. I work on a vehicle. Then I have to call the customer and get the customer to get the part. I installed the used module and it's working. Now the final scan. Not happy. Steering wheel sensor is bad now. He gets the part ordered. Wrong part. He had reordered the sensor. Waiting now.

My weekend entertainment is watching your amazing ability. Stand tall and proud Ivan

Ivan, I'm gonna have to ask you to make videos daily. My coffee tastes better when I have PHAD to go with it. XD The catfish were shy yesterday, but I did haul in a gar that was about 40-45 pounds. That bad boy was 55" long and fat! I don't eat that crap, but they are a blast to catch on rod and reel. In that spot I have landed a 48", 50", 52" 55" and a 58" gar. All on rod and reel. Maybe I should be come a gar fisherman. o.0

Why do you not like the latest Thinktool software? The latest version remembers selected data PIDs when you go back and forth between menus. That is a game changer for me. I think you prayed for this functionality to be added in a previous video 😂

Ivan, clearly your concern is customer satisfaction. This is why you are so well known and admired. As far as all these failed attempts to service the ABS, this is clearly a case of poor vehicle design.

I bought a Mazda from the dry state of Texas. All kinds of rot started showing up. Green crusties. Coastal areas, and river areas abound with flood cars. It was taken to a southern state known for washing branded titles. Just a caveat on buying parts. Good video, thanks/

Great video, Ivan! I don’t know how you keep from going insane working on these cars! 😵‍💫

From 2004, cars suck . Dumb electronics. Many parts made to fail. It has become a scam. Glad I'm out of it, mostly ! Window cleaning, car cleaning, painting, grass cutting. Much easier, less outlay, happier customers. Car owners expect miracles, for pennies. I put up an expenses board including tools and equipment costs. Something to point at when they tried to get discount. No car left without payment in full. When asked for credit, I asked if they could get our supplier's to wait longer and the supermarkets to let me have food and wait until I get paid b4 paying, then they could have credit. They paid. Special orders paid for upfront. Work sheets signed off and work approval forms signed. A friend of mine gave people the benefit of credit and they obviously let him down. It's a difficult trade. All trades are. They require skill, knowledge and experience. And expensive tools. Getting payed is an ordeal sometimes

Nice catch on the 'initialization.' Thanks Ivan!
