Heck yeah! That's awesome. Thanks for bringing her back to good health.
Hello there I am a big fan is there a way i can contact you privately?
Yeah, we will do the same for *TOP G* !!!
All the way from Kenya
@@SAYFODROID Is it about his cars limited life time warranty?
Back to good health? It had never been charged before 😂
Nice work! I'm blown away by how proficient you are at these systems after only building ONE car! Great job.
Thank you very much!
Think about, how much work goes into "building only one". This should answer all your questions.
Crazy how knowledgeable Tony Hawk is with EVs.
I have to do something after my skateboarding career 😉
@@ElectricSuperCar lol 😂
I'm actually surprised how many different things you found after a methodical analysis. Just goes to show - on these super complicated builds its super easy to forget something you would normally consider silly - like not connecting a breaker to it's power source!
Absolutely. And it's so often the 'simpler' or 'easier' elements that can get overlooked in favour of the really complex or difficult stuff.
When troubleshooting electrics, it does often come down to a detailed check of 'is it plugged in correctly?'
Hope your charger didn't get too damaged. I like how you automatically went straight to something that you had a better chance of correcting. Always progress! 😊
Thanks!
always start with the easiest fixes, best way to eliminate options
The charger got damaged after connecting up the ground to the DC/DC converter... is there a chance of a ground loop?
@@ElectricSuperCar Hey there! I have a 120v J1772 charger that I'm not using. I know it's not the same as your 240v charger, but was wondering if maybe you wanted it while you waited and/or work to acquire a new 240v charger. Thoughts?
Following the story of this hummer has been my favorite thing on youtube for a while
Thanks for the view!
Zack obviously didn't think about serviceability when putting this together!
Samsung taking notes hehe
The Apple way, something broke? Don't repair it! Replace it!
Absolutely love the lighthearted way you addressed the issues in the last video! Shows a lot of strength of character.
Thank you so much!
I love seeing the troubleshooting process and your attention to detail. I know you’ll figure it out 👍
I hope so!
I'm surprised JRE even got to this point of the build with how much stuff just isn't connected. And he's alive too!
So happy the audio issue happened to be an easy fix. I’ll admit, I didn’t even think of not using headphones lol. I just decided to deal with it.
🤪
There are three massive wins in this video:
1/ It shows one only fails when working on something not easy.
2/ It shows that failing is good because one learns from it. Engineering is all about trying, failing, learning and to persevere in that process.
3/ It shows that sharing its own failures is also a way to inform therefore to teach others.
This project is totally awesome, but it's only because awesome guys like you and Jack do it. Best regards!
Thanks for the comment!
Saying a person can't fail doing something easy seems like a failure. lol
This deserves netflix release. Been following from the beginning of hummer to ev conversion. Best of Luck .
Thanks for the visit!
This really is a ton of work. I'm now rethinking my electric Sport Trac conversion.
How are you even verified? You don’t have 100k, rest of us has to work hard for the 100k and you don’t deserve it.
It is a labor of love! You have to love the process...not just the end result
So glad Zack pointed me to this channel, you're a great presenter and your explanations are really easy to understand
Awesome, thank you!
You do a great job on the video. Goes to show just how complex the electric car creation is. Keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!
Thanks to Jerry for showing us all, what a complex project this is. Insanely complex. It’s taken you months to get to the point where it still can’t be charged!
Your sense of humor and editing makes this video flow wonderfully.
Thanks Friend!
as an electrician apprentice, ive seen a few electricians use a pipe cutter (one that clamps down and you spin a cutting wheel around by hand) to strip heavier gauge cable. it was only like 2 or 3, but its quite ingenious
This is the kind of content that makes youtube awesome! This was so fun to watch
Thanks Friend!
Thanks for showing us your process and how you keep moving instead of being stuck
You bet!
Thanks for the update. It is good to see you troubleshoot the systems, and it was nice to have some success in the end.
Thanks for the comment!
I pulled a civic out of a frozen swamp in Michigan yesterday... pulled a quick run back to cali, and had time to pull doors from a wrecking in Idaho.... mind blown 💣
Great to see how you are finding things and fixing them as you go along.
Thanks for the comment!
Very good video. I like how you don’t seem to hide any of the mistakes or important details. ❤❤
Thanks for the comment!
Great job its like trying to find a black cat in a coalbin at midnight some times you just have to check every ware you know that cat may be. Takes time. Good work
Thanks for the comment!
These are the videos which I'm on CZcams for... amazing content. Loved it!
Awesome! Thank you!
I think I remember JerryRigEverything exalting how much more simple Electric Vehicles are compared to Gas Powered ones. Looks like he still missed a lot of connections. Always works better when things are connected (plugged in) :)
I started watching from the Jerry Rig channel. I was watching in my studio and I immediately noticed and I switched to mono!
LOL!
Can't wait to see it completed and ready for the teardown and bend test by Jerry
Awesome video! Thank you so much for looking into the audio issues.
No problem!
At 5:09 I paused to clean my screen because I thought it was dirt. Took me 10 seconds of scrubbing to realise it was just the background in the vid. Damn this some good weed
Thanks for the apology. You didn't need to, but it is really appreciated that you did.
No worries
I love cars but don't know much about them or smart enough to understand some of this video but this has been so entertaining so far thank you for this cool content
Glad you enjoyed it!
Reminds me of when I was rewiring my first vehicle, replacing the worn out wiring harness. I have since totally rewired 4 vehicles and partial rewired 2 others. The last one was totally botched. You turn on the left turn signal and the brake light would flash.
Dude, you are awesome. So glad Jerry brought me to your channel. Looking forward to the next video/update.
Thanks for coming
The bit that came out of the heat gun is part of the element. The first fin or two seem to always break during transport (literally every one I've gotten at least has a crack there). Not a big deal usually. Just a piece of ceramic that holds the element up and away from the other bits.
I got introduced to your channel via Zack (the installation and this current fault finding situ). Yes, I got the joke (L&R lol), and yes, I laughed at the Zack based comments too. You have a sense of humour I find enjoyable in a sense of another classic film - Robocop (1987) AAAAAAAIIIIIIHHHLIKE IT! Hahaha. Some other channels that are technical/mechanical with a great sense of humour are 'Two Stroke Stuffing' (he's currently trying to tune a complete home made 50cc 2 stroke SUPERCHARGED motor (highest he's seen so far on his Dyno is about 25 BHP)), then there's 'SuperfastMatt' and his mad goings ons... And some other great channels too.
I look forward to continuing my look through your back catalogue of bids! So far sooo good! 👌👍. 😎🇬🇧
Thanks for the comment!
Sorry to say ... Jerry's way of making an video is the best, and he explains everything. Means JERRY RIG EVERYTHING...
I respect the effort, no hate on Jerry but he’s clearly not studied how to do what he was trying to do an inevitably ran into issues and the ES Dr. is doing a great job dealing with the issues. Continue the amazing work. Been keeping up with the project since it began and can’t wait to see the HUMVEE on the road again!
Thanks for the comment!
It's always a love/hate relationship when you find "high impedance air gaps" while troubleshooting: The hope that you've found the issue and it's a quick fix - plug it in; The pit in your stomach from past experience that it could be coincidence and just cause' it's plugged in now, doesn't mean the issue is fixed. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for the comment!
I like the pipe cutter for cutting and splicing the battery cables.
Use what you've got, right?!?
Get-er-done.
I like the PVC cutter/ wire stripper!!!!
Thanks for showing the kind of detailed diagnostics this kind of thing takes, and the risks of "I broke my tools with my tools"... Any chance of a teardown/diag of your wall charger as well?
Logical sequence is a long and winding road. Keep up the good work doc!
Thanks!
Great work. I love this style of video! Keep it up.
Watching from the UK
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the vid. Looks like someone needs all the help he can get. 🙂 Jim Bell (Australia)
Thanks Friend!
Hahaha I’m so glad you addressed the audio issues 😂🎉thank you!!
No problem!!
The Battery box scores a 6/10 for repairability
LOL!
Well done video and you troubleshooting skill rock!
Thanks Friend!
One minute in and you are have me snickering, this is a good start.
Thanks Friend!
Great content.
What CAN reader did you use?
Candapter
Wow you are so skilled! Fantastic work!👍👏👏👏🤩🏆
Thank you so much 😀
Hi! Those resettable 12V fuses like the one in the low voltage box, don’t always trip at the amperage they says they’re rated for. Might wanna check that. 😉
Thanks for the info!
I hope Jerry pays you well for all this effort, cool vid as well man, doing a good job
Thanks Friend!
Who is Jerry? Lol
@@googadisbeotches9360 JerryRigEverything, the guy who is the owner of the hummer.
@@Decenium really? So he changed his name from Zack to Jerry??
wow. one of the best ev channel. really nice to see the details. thanks .which type of converter is this ? buck , boost or buck-boost ? henry from tanzania
Amazing video with no deeper grooves at level 7. Ha ha ha
😉
Love the editing and movie clips! Wonderful content
Thanks so much!
I design EV’s for a living and I see so many issues with how this truck is being built. I would not feel safe working on or driving this. For instance that wire that is being used for high voltage is probably not rated for 400V. That being said I appreciate the dedication to this project. I hope everyone working on this stays safe. 🤞🏼
I would guess the HV wire to the DC-DC converter is THHN wire which is rated for 600 volts. I could easily be wrong.
Any nominal power supply wire is most commonly rated for 600v
Unless they used something I’m not even aware of???
For industrial/commercial/residential applications we use THHN 600v 90° petro water resistant rated wire.
For personal projects and non building related I like to use high temp silicone tin plated copper high strand count.
It has reduced skin effect although not effected by DC current.
It is very flexible but the insulation is highly susceptible to damage.
Mitigating damage to the insulation is simple. Allow excess around bends and use try wraps and cable management. For futher protection in vibrating, moving, or harsh conditions wrap with rayon insulation and then jacket with corrugated plastic loom or stainless interlocking metallic flex.
Additionally consider parallel conductors.
The additional termination surface area will reduce resistance
The increased conductor spacing will allow for heat dissipation
The separated conductors allow for increased elasticity of the bundle and make a flatter profile if needed.
Conductors with high strand counts are better in every respect.
For high frequency ac applications holo core or laminated thin foil conductors reduce unwanted inductance.
Your choise of meme's is excelent sir! I laughed a lot and hard! Thanks a lot!
Great work mad scientist, looking forward to the next video!
Thank you!
awesome! can't imagine how hard to fixed it waiting for the next one. 👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Great! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
More to come!
Bigger cliffhanger than prime time tv shows 😂
LOL
So, did you connect the control pilot and proximity pilot directly to the bms instead of the charger?
Yes
pvc tubing cutters as wire strippers. Nice
Use what you have...right?!?
I enjoy watching funny people on here that actually know what they're doing. And no side agendas! But did not need to see your nose contents at 9:53 Lol! Cheers!
Consider it an Easter egg 🤪
Awesome work, like to know how well the scan tool that you bought worked for can-bus.
I ended up getting 2
@@ElectricSuperCar OK, is the link on that video?
@MikeJ F I got the CANdapter that plays nicely with the BMS and I also got the PCAN USB adapter
@@ElectricSuperCar Can you send me a link to the one you got please. I would give you my email but have some idiots that try getting you to text them because you won something tracking me.

Great episode! Waiting for the next one!
Thanks Friend!
Now jerry should realize that how those smartphone factories owners felted 😂
This was really fun to watch, can't wait for the next one!
Thanks Friend!
It's 2 or 3 decades since I've sodered a serial connector. I didn't know they were still in use.
WE got fanspin! Bless Zacks little heart and all the tiny mistakes. I think he did a lot of work on this project. I like your Fluke. I have an 87V Max. I know they are overpriced for what they do. I just prefer them.
Nice!
They are not overpriced. It means you don't use them at their potential:). Have two of these, also.
TYHANK YOU! I thought i was losing my mind, but that audio was def jacked up.
LOL! Hopefully it was better for you!
With all the car taken around building the battery boxes I was surprised at how loose and unmanaged the wire harness was.
done on purpose, that was not final build, need to makew sure everything is wired properly, and having a fully connected wire harness wouldn't be practical if they needed to undo all of it to find the faulty ones.
i do not understand 80% of what you are doing but i like the way you doing it
Thanks Friend!
Lmao I appreciate the humour on the audio (and video). The audio is much better now, your channel is great fyi.
Glad to hear it
So what's the deal with the EVSE? Bricked mine recently too, wondering if it has something to do with occasionally charging my conversion on it.
Just the 240v split phase EVSE, my 120v wall outlet EVSE that I use day-to-day with my conversion still works great.
Lots of unfinished connections? The car owner has to come up with a table of tasks to complete and put ticks on it. Question for fun, when do you sweep the workshop after the project is finished or during the project? I leave insulation and scraps for last.
good start.
you need to find why the charging status value is not turning to '2'.
Tell me about it! I can get it to change to 2 but still can't get a charge started. I have been exchanging emails with evolve and Orion and still no luck
@@ElectricSuperCar you said you damaged your EV recharger on the truck? Don't know what tech you use but maybe see if the truck plug was wired backwards or something.
this is as interesting as the project where he build it! thanks for a inside view
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ElectricSuperCar well you don't see a guy reviving a EV allday do you :) glad you did a video about it man
The pop culture clips are a very nice touch. I like it a lot. Well done!
Glad you like it!
I watch your videos before you have 1M subscribers. Good contents. 😁
Thank you so much 😀
Very cool!! :) Nice troubleshooting skills. :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for fixing the audio, much better!
Good to hear! ... get it?
The audio sounds good. I mostly just wrote this to give you another interaction.
Nice! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this help. Jerry sent me and I subscribed for more EV videos.
Thanks for the sub!
Hopefully now it will be an easy run to get the hummer fully working now that those charger connections seem okay.
🤞
Great work!!! Can’t wait for part 2
Coming soon!
Your profile picture reminds me of my dog.
czcams.com/video/oDtgTyPOnzo/video.html
loved the cross over lol
next time do a lockpickinglawyer
Nice!
Click out of one, two feels loose 😆
What will you do for the charger?
Still working on it!
Might be stating the obvious but have you checked that the baud rate of the charger and BMS are the same? Had this issue with my build.
Yep...but thanks for the suggestion!
did you ever throw a logic analyzer or oscilloscope on the can bus to see if you are getting actual useful comes, and not having multiple devices talking over eachother (or other electrical issues)?
Yes. New episode coming soon!
thanks for making this video so understandable
You're very welcome!
Maybe pick up an OpenEVSE charger (since the spare parts are easy to get, and its really well documented)?
Scratches at level 6 and deeper grooves at level 7 😂🤣
👍
I see some big issues. Use proper wire for the HV. Not only the wire conduit orange! Also put a 10A or 20A 1kV DC!! rated fuse in the HV juction box, before you leave out with the wire. Also the wore has to be shielded, as those DC-DC are quite noisy, and you will have conducted emmision on the wires and may not pick up radio channels:). Just use the proper automotive wire for the HV, as one short here, will result in fire, that big traction fuse may not even cut it out, your wire will...
Jerry-rig tests EVERYTHING!
Great work. Why did the charger brick?
Still trying to figure that out
Thin speaker wire that is connected to "HV" without adequate fusing and running the wire messy trough the car, all whilst connecting it without safety goggles, man you like to live risky!!!! Iike it ( as long as you are not my neighbour xD).
LOL! Yes, I have a lot of things that need to be fixed. Thanks for the comment!
