Hearted Youtube comments on The Car Care Nut (@TheCarCareNut) channel.

  1. You are a lifesaver my brother! I cannot afford a new car payment now and these kind of valuable tips to prolong our ride is much appreciated deep from my heart.

  2. My wife: "come watch the Olympics." Me: "No, I'm watching the Car Care Nut."

  3. I’m a Mobile Mechanic for over 10yrs, and I’m learning a lot from you. Particularly attention to details. My main weakness is always diagnosing electrical problems. You just solve my it by simplifying the diagnosis process. Thank you,

  4. I would definitely lean towards the used transmission, assuming there are no obvious signs of abuse. This thing is a beauty and will be even better when you are through with it.

  5. holy crap that was the most insane sparkplug change...not really looking forward to this one, but thankfully there's a video. This channel is a godsend for us DIY'ers

  6. Honestly, at the risk of shattering the rear window, that wiper becomes a non-functional feature in my book. Sucks for you rust belters!!

  7. I'm a car engineer that used to work on cars all the time, I try to make my stuff serviceable when it's possible. I replaced the heater core and blend door actuator on a Lincoln Navigator once, that was a 10 hour job. The HVAC box is about the first part that gets installed on the line. Most engineers have zero or near zero car knowledge. The #1 Design Directive: Cost savings. #2: Design for assembly (ease of assembly, fewer fasteners, ergonomics to eliminate line worker repetitive stress injuries, etc). #3: Make it last at least the length of the warranty, our internal directive is 15 years. I asked my boss early on how we take into account how to work on the car, he just laughed.

  8. We're not working on chevys. 🤣

  9. I work at a Assembly plant and a large % of all the employee's all drive toyota's, because we believe in the quality we are delivering to everyone.

  10. I learned two things from this video, you’re a top notch mechanic to perform this level of engine rebuilding and second, you’re one hell of a nice guy for sharing your knowledge, tips and videos to the viewers who enjoy your channel. God Bless you.

  11. No one can ever accuse AMD of just being a mouthpiece for Toyota. I love his channel for the unbiased information.

  12. What a fabulous video for repair facility and car owner alike! Should be required viewing as it educates and gives real world scenarios of what can and does happen every day. As a former Lexus dealership service manager I enjoy all of your videos. They are factual, informative and always spot on. Thank you for all you do to show that there ARE honest, smart automobile professionals out there that don’t just want to empty the customers wallet, but want to help them and keep them safe.

  13. Your wife does a great job with the camera.. you are blessed in many ways

  14. That 2001 4runner is a very lucky vehicle to be owned by this excellent owner that obviously takes pride in their ownership of the vehicle. I'm the same way and take very good care of my vehicles. You can never be too careful when it comes to doing preventative maintenance.

  15. I am a HUGE Toyota Fan. I recently found your You Tube videos. Honestly you are the most honest and competent mechanic I have ever seen! I have learned so much from you. You seem like a very solid, kind and knowledgeable man. THANK YOU for taking the time to do these videos and educating me and I am sure MANY others!!

  16. Toyota & Lexus ... Best car brand in the world.

  17. As a import repair specialist, there are certain aspects of Lexus I like about this line. There are so many parts that cross match from Toyota to Lexus, but the biggest difference is the price of those parts and labor. For me, I’d rather get a fully loaded Toyota than a Lexus because of that factor. However, I also recall their original LS 400 with their buttery smooth V8. It was admirable what the Japanese did with that flagship vehicle and beat the pants off the Europeans…RIP: MB, Audi and BMW..😁

  18. I wish I could trust more mechanics as much as I trust this guy to get the job done right. He’s the definition of pride in your work.

  19. AMD, Speaking from the point of view of someone who has been living the manual Corolla dream for nearly 18 years, it is unthinkable and inexcusable that they dropped the manual transmission in everything but the expensive GR. 🤨At least they upgraded the Hybrid system with AWD.
    195
  20. That's why Toyota 4Runners hasn't been redesigned for over a decade. All the Kaizen over the years has made it bulletproof.
    195
  21. Quote from Scotty Kilmer below says it all:. "Oil is cheap; engines are expensive!" Sound and solid advice in this video. Well done!
    194
  22. Ahmed is always a man of integrity first, a great mechanic second.
    193
  23. Dont tell Scotty, Scotty can't know.

  24. I’m a professional mechanic and actually recently left a Toyota dealer and came across this video. I put a water pump on my own V6 RAV4 this afternoon and this method is far superior to the mess I usually make opening and closing the bleeder. Thanks man!
    193
  25. Crazy how much was involved even just trying to take out the transmission. Thanks for showing as much of the process as you could!

  26. How hard do you have to work to destroy a Sequoia? this is insane

  27. For the jumpstart situation, I'd suggest people purchase a handheld portable jump start kit. Easy to keep it charged up in the vehicle. Most have a built in flashlight in emergencies, can use it to jump any standard vehicle ( diesel engine/ large trucks might need a larger cranking amps).

  28. Licensed HVAC engineer here, if the humidity is low outside then using the fresh air vent function instead of the recirculate function will dehumidify just fine without a/c. And yes, turning off the a/c saves gas. I have heard that running the a/c periodically in the winter will help keep seals lubricated. Good to know it won’t hurt the system. Love the channel, just wanted to share another perspective on this one. Thank you

  29. Thanks for the great advice as well as answering questions I had. Own a 2014 Camry SE with 445,000 miles. Following his advise, I know the car can reach 500k without issues.

  30. I live in Japan, and there are so many more models, and much nicer and cooler Hondas, and Toyotas here than the USA.

  31. When I purchased my wife’s Highlander, Finance manager asked if I wanted extended warranty. My words to him were....”No thanks, that’s why I’m buying a Toyota, plus the money I save from not buying an extended warranty I will put it aside and use it for oil changes and regular maintenance” He looked at me and told me no one has ever put it to him that way. 9 years later car is still running great with basic maintenance.

  32. People around Chicago area are very lucky to have the opportunity to have you as their technician. I think your new business is going to do quite well.
    191
  33. You belong to a tech institute!!! We need more techs like you.
    191
  34. New seat covers and professional detailing all the way! It would be very interesting to see how it turns out 🙂
    190
  35. AMD, I love the new shop! Great job. While I'm not a big fan of the 4-cyl turbo, if the new engine can produce enough low-end torque for easy acceleration it will prove worthwhile. I highly doubt the new engine will come close in reliability to the V6

  36. - I did this over the weekend on my 2010 Es 350 , followed every step,worked like a charm. This channel is the real deal folks

  37. Hey that van looks familiar 😊 thank you so much for checking it over for us and fixing the wheel bearing. We will be doing a lanolin based undercoat before winter, so it should still be rust free next time you see it!
    189
  38. love these restoration videos. and a definite yes to the trans breakdown and what would it takes to fix it.
    189
  39. That's exactly what makes Toyotas special and long lasting... (Basic and to the Point). Everything you need, no fluff or gimmicks. Good stuff like always. 👍
    189
  40. I’m a Toyota master myself. Watched the entire video and you did a phenomenal job with this. Some may not understand but just in the way you placed the fipg on the parts was perfect. I personally hate when people smudge it on. As a master tech that has done this plenty of times, this was awesome to watch.
    188
  41. As a GX owner myself, I love the GX content on the channel. Keep it coming. 🙂
    188
  42. You remind me of when I work on my cars, I can tell you're a Toyota mechanic. I always check all the little details, clean things, unclog drainage holes and such. Very nice work, good job!

  43. I wish we went back to glass headlights. I know there's the whole pedestrian safety aspect, and lighter weight when using plastic, but nothing ages a car faster than yellowed headlights.
    188
  44. That a wonderful V6 engine with a very long lifetime. If I were buying a Highlander, I’d just buy one of the latest models with the 3.5. I’m allergic to turbos. 🤧
    187
  45. Great review. Great honesty here. The range issue makes this car a complete no go. If the future is electric, Toyota is in big trouble. When this thing arrived, dealers were asking $25k over msrp. Can’t imagine they sold too many.
    186
  46. My father once told my “nothing good is cheap or nothing cheap is good” if you need something to last you need to maintain it properly that’s why I agree with you on using original parts and good fluids.
    186
  47. Real talent for explaining these complex machines to the average owner! Even a more advanced wrench turner like me gets so much from your work here! Appreciated!
    186
  48. One of the things that I like about your videos, is that even though you are a "Toyota guy" you're not afraid to point out the flaws in Toyota and Lexus vehicles where they exist. Also, you don't call any vehicle all bad. You indicate the good and the bad in all vehicles.
    186
  49. Speaking multiple languages, playing multiple instruments and being a mechanic is awesome man. Congratulations. I really appreciate you're enjoying the work and make us enjoy it too

  50. I was a service advisor for Ford for a little over 3 years, then a couple years later I was a service advisor for Toyota, I was blown away at how few problems toyotas in general had. Now I am on my second Tundra with only a battery replaced on first one.
