WHERE? WHERE?Somebody mentions titties?
Was watching you tube channel of one of the independent mechanics, he is primarily AG guy. But started on Hyundai excavator.
It was sluggish - typical power shift/ EPPRV problem!
He was about to tell his customers to buy a new CPU for it because he was sure that what it was!!!
So I decided to help him and save his reputation, issue was time critical and I wasn’t sure he would read my comment on time, he has Facebook so I sent him a message that he needs to check more things before calling it computer, primarily RPM sensor. He was smart enough to come back and test it - turns out wire was corroded inside so bad that when he touched it and it fell off.
But get this: the only thing I got was brief mention while driving to that excavator “one of viewers told me this” not even “thank you man you helped me” on the Facebook messenger! I also made few tools suggestions and hints for CE he doesn’t know too much about - he is not even responding back.
He got popular, and people sent him expensive tools for free, complains about thumbs downs in you tube comments!
The nature of the human! Go figure!
Needless to say - unsubscribed!!!
I know the YouTube channel you’re talking about. Watch it all the time. I watch it regularly due to the fact that he’s about the only honest mechanic I’ve seen on YouTube. He’s a well rounded guy. Great skills. Honest. Thorough. So what if he’s better at AG equipment. Maybe he branched out on the hoe, but he got in there and got it done.
You came on this forum and started knocking him because he didn’t get on his knees and start sucking to thank you for your free tech advice that you gave VOLUNTARILY. Man, I thought this was a place for professionals. You sound like a giant baby. Your actions prove that. I don’t know Warren any better than you, but he sure as **** wouldn’t do what your doing.
I’ll be done, please Continue on with your narcissistic ways.
You right funwithfuel! I should have just ignore him, he don’t get the point anyway!View attachment 193404
Perhaps if we didn't act like unruly morons, people wouldn't treat us as such, and I'm not excluding myself either.
Does the expression "giving credit where credit's due" mean anything to you..? Nobody knows everything and acknowledging the contirbution of others is nothing more than good manners.You came on this forum and started knocking him because he didn’t get on his knees and start sucking to thank you for your free tech advice that you gave VOLUNTARILY.

To be totally honest he briefly mentioned that “some viewer told him”. I guess what pissed me off is other people get kinda lengthy praises ( specially the ones who sent him expensive tools for free) and recognition buy name, last name and place they are from. But the guy who saved his reputation, and his customer money - just get a brief mentioning. If it wasn’t for double standards - I wouldn’t care!I give information I have locked in my old drying up brain as it pops up to statements from others, some times is scoffed away others it is accepted and used. All freely given where if they run with it and claim as their own I am a little less apt to return that favor again. The guy evidently had a need for more info, used a reference from another and claimed it as his own insight to which he will likely garner less support over time and he will show himself out for lacking not promising. Good luck to those types as generally is all they have left in short order.
John C nailed it in the parallel thread!
For me not even a appreciation so important, as a knowing that problem that I had my part in solving is solved, and equally important finding out what was the problem, so I can put it in to my “experience” bank to pull it out later.

I've always called them zombie thread's totally inactive for 2 or 3 years then all of a sudden someone replies like it was just yesterday
The problem with that is it takes time to register, create user name, wait for approval, etc... When I search google for a problem, read threads, and find a solution, I would say thanks if it was easy. When it is a hassle to do so, it goes unsaid.That way if three years from now a guy who never heard of this site till today when he was pulling his hair out with a problem does a search and stumbles on an old thread here that matches his problem he can learn what fixed it for someone else. And if that does happen it would be just common courtesy to me to reply to that old thread and say hello and thanks for helping me out. I know I would get a kick out of finding out some advice or a question I asked three years back helped someone today!
True enough, I am just as "guilty" of that as anyone, however I believe what most others or at least I was talking about was how someone does take time to register on this or some other site and throws out a question and then after getting some replies or suggestions of things to check never come back saying if it was fixed or not.The problem with that is it takes time to register, create user name, wait for approval, etc...
