Youtube comments of Aaron Britt (@aaronbritt2025).

  1. 6 years later, in 2020, we like these songs again because they're no longer overplayed. Commercial radio has a bad habit of figuring out people like a song and then playing it every 40 minutes all freakin' day until people can't stand it.

  2. The 5.6 is bullet proof. Watch the manifolds (cracks), engine mounts, pinion and axle seals, heater control valve, leak from the thermostat housing, interior plastics and HVAC actuators. Nissan Master Tech for 4 years.

  3. They're charging fees because they want you to turn it in. If you have a residual value of $13k, which was negotiated years ago, before the used car values shot up, that car might today be worth $18k. The dealer wants you to turn it in so they can sell it for $18k and make that $5k.

  4. Saying, "Happy Holidays" is not exclusive, it's inclusive.

  5. Same. After I got a violation notice for having a rake handle visible through my garage window, I became the VP.

  6. Keep handing out building permits like candy. Know when there wasn't a water level issue? Back in the 90's when Clark County had 800k residents, not 3M like we do today.

  7. I have a VERY expensive Snap-On scanner for when I have to do complicated diagnostics. However it takes so long to boot up and connect that I also have one of these small scanners for when I just need to pull a quick code (Pretty sure it's a Foxwell). These cheap scanners definitely have their place, even in a shop. Thanks for testing them. BTW, this is the ONLY channel I support financially. That's how awesome this channel is.

  8. One note... The AC Delco is an anaerobic sealant, which is made to seal precision machined surfaces, like transmission cases. To see it's true capability, you need to test it with a precision machined surface. That's why it's a thin gel, so it can seep into microscopic scratches to prevent leakage. Also, it only harden in the absence of air (hence the name, anaerobic), which is the condition is machined surfaces.

  9. As a former Nissan tech, I've learned to always use a vacuum filler on Nissan's with the VQ35 engine. They're notoriously difficult to get all of the air out of. Guys that didn't have a vacuum filler would raise the front end by using just the front lift arms.
    85
  10. Yes, and those are good for DIY'ing. However, at a shop, where you're warrantying the work, you always replace the entire unit. If any other part fails in the next year or so, like the fuel level sender, you're doing your job twice.
    84
  11. Mobil 1 sponsoring this video and having you feature their oil, when other oils might perform as well or better kinda gives me the Icks. I look to your channel for unbiased engineering reviews.
    77
  12. The Challenger is proof that politicians should NEVER be allowed to overrule scientists... On ANY subject.
    76
  13. The C5 Z06 is the bargain of the century. I see them in the mid $20k's all the time. Replace that worn out chin spoiler. It makes a difference in cooling. You guys mentioned fuel economy... LegitStreetCars tuned a manual C5 for lean burn cruising and got 40mpg. That's an economy car that has 350hp.
    75
  14.  @contumelious-8440  you build computers, I build cars. You have no clue.

  15. 4 Year Nissan Master Tech... Nissan CVT's work just fine if you change the fluid every 30k with high quality fluid. The '08 to '12 Altima/Rogue had a problem with being overfilled from the factory. We fixed it by sucking out some fluid and replacing the dipstick with a new one. They also overheated in very hot climates like here in Vegas and also Phoenix. We fixed that with a trans cooler. The newer CVT's with the 3.5 V6's had a bearing in the case that could go bad. Some were factory defects, some went bad from lack of maintenance. Moral of the story... Replace your fluid and you'll be fine.
    65
  16. So, when I was at Nissan, I had a rash of customers coming in stating that the trunk on their '13 Altima wouldn't open. I would have to go out to the service drive and show the customer the valet switch in the glove box that turns off the trunk release. Invariably, I'd see the still shrink wrapped owner's manual in the glovebox. One day I had this complaint on a car that was in for service. I performed the service, turned off the valet switch and pulled the still shrink wrapped owers manual out of the glove box. I placed it on the seat with a snarky note on a Post-It. After the customer picked up the car, they complained to the service manager and I was "counseled" on how to deal with customers. Fun times.
    64
  17. Just a suggestion... Any time I have to drop a trans pan without a drain plug, I use a sucker to suck most of the fluid out through the dipstick tube. It removes 90% of the possibility of taking a trans fluid shower and keeps you from having to do the trans pan dance of keeping a couple of bolts in and letting the fluid pour out everywhere.
    64
  18. It's happened to me. I had a G35 come in with busted front control arm bushings. I'm sure you've seen it, it's very common on the G35 and 350Z. I took pictures and told him about it. He declined the repair and went on his way. 2 hours later, he calls and complains about a clunking in his front end that he never had until I did the service on his car. :facepalm: Now, I will say it has happened to me the other way as a customer. I brought my Mustang to the body shop to get the right side fixed from some kid changing lanes while I was right next to him. The car only had 700 miles on it, so the rest of the car was brand new and pristine. When I went to pick the car up, the left rear corner of the bumper was pushed in. Guy at the body shop said, "Well you didn't ask us to fix that". To which I replied, "I didn't ask you to fix it because it wasn't there when I dropped it off". They reviewed the camera footage of the lot and saw a lot porter back into my car. They fired him for not reporting it and replaced my rear bumper.
    63
  19. @10:47... I think the problem was that Roman was trying to turn. Pretty sure you have to drive straight to lock the lockers on almost any 4x4 with a front locker. If the front wheels are turning at different speeds, it's not going to lock.
    62
  20. @15:00... Definitely sketch-o-matic. You're risking bending the flange that way. I'd put the axle in the press the same way, but use a deep socket to press one stud at a time. This way there's no chance of bending that flange.
    59
  21. S&P 500 needs to crash. Corporations have been profiting by cost cutting for years. You can only merge/acquire to reduce overlap so much. You can only force your employees to prop up your profits for so long. They've been holding down wages, increasing employee health insurance contributions, reducing retirement benefits, and laying off employees for as long as they can. It's to the point where the employees are pushing back. Profit growth can no longer come from cost cutting. It's time for a crash to force a reduction in profit margins.

  22. Friend of mine had the Dakota 5.9 R/T. He traded it in when Dodge came out with the SRT-10. He had an '06 2 door with the manual trans. He swore it was faster than my FBO '06 350Z. So we raced them. He was pulling on me until the corner at the end of the straight. LOL. We had some fun. That 5.9 R/T probably smells because it has no cats. Probably why it's at the auction. It got traded in and couldn't be sold with no cats. I really wish you would add what they sold for to these auction videos.
    47
  23. Diesel and a manual. All trucks should have this option.
    42
  24. I'm from Boston and my father was a general contractor and heavily involved in real estate all over New England. I also was a cadet at the New York Military Academy, the same school Trump attended. I've been hearing stories about him since I was a teenager. One of my teachers at NYMA was a cadet with Trump. He said he was a bully in school and was promoted quickly because of his name. This started my disgust for him. My conservative friends have only known about Trump for 10 years. I've known about him for almost my whole life.
    42
  25.  @idontno0  I AM an old timer. I know the difference between RTV and anaerobic sealants. Been doing this for 35 years.
    40
  26. When I was a Nissan Tech, one of my pet peeves was customers coming in and asking what a light on the dash meant. Every single time, I'd open the glove box and find the owner's manual still shrink wrapped in plastic. I'd open it and explain that "this book contains all of the answers to your questions".
    39
  27. In keeping with Volvo's obsession with safety, that glass window in the truck is also so firefighters responding to an accident can quickly find the master disconnect for the electrical system. It's right there, in the center. They can just pry open the trunk, smash the glass and pull the disconnect.
    39
  28. It's a pleasure to watch a fellow diagnostician at work. Previous techs that swapped that motor were all parts swappers, not diagnosticians.
    36
  29. I bet you work closer than 30 miles from your house and your nearest grocery store isn't 18 miles from your house.
    33
  30.  @OfficialGoldenboy  no, they didn't know. That's why the residual value is lower than the actual value.
    32
  31. Crushing cars seems to be a good deterrent. These people often have no license and no insurance, which means if they hit you, they'll likely run, leaving you on the hook.
    31
  32. This is the perfect job for a magnetic socket set. 😉 You found the spring clamp on the PCV, but forgot the one on the crankcase vent hose (at the airbox end of the intake tube @26:27).
    31
  33. I always change the expansion valve when I do the compressor because if there's any debris in the system, it's most likely caught in the expansion valve (or orifice tube). @30:00... Since you already have the refrigerant drained, the coolant drained, the core support unbolted, and the upper hose off, I'd think it would be easier and give you more room if you removed the lower hose and pulled out the entire cooling package as a unit.
    29
  34. Former Nissan Tech here... Don't you just love how you have to disassemble just to do struts? Watching you struggle brings back horrible memories. I believe warranty time for these was 1.4 hours. Don't remember what customer pay time was. That Branick 7600 is about the least sketch spring compressor. I love using it.
    28
  35. Copyright laws really need to be changed to exclude "incidental" background music.
    27
  36. When he has kids... "Yeah, well my dad is Mark Rober".
    26
  37. And it's worth mentioning, Nissan engines HATE aftermarket sensors. Use Nissan sensors.
    24
  38. A lot of the click bait YT channels (I'm looking at you Ray and Zach), have been yelling "the sky is falling" for two years, but retail rices aren't reflecting the drop in wholesale values. Dealers are still trying to get all the money for cars they overpaid for.
    24
  39. @11:45... I love how the machine has kick-outs to hold a device until the maximum height is achieved and then it drops the device. Without the kickouts, devices would just slide back and forth as the machine rotated. The thought process that went into designing such a simple thing to achieve a complicated result amazes me. This is why I love engineering and building stuff. I love to think about, what's the simplest way to achieve this complicated result?
    23
  40. Best way to learn how to drive a stick is by yourself. My father tried to teach me (back in '89) and I kept stalling. Him yelling at me, "More throttle! Less throttle! Let the clutch out! Not that fast!", etc... just frustrated me. I ended up teaching myself in my driveway.
    22
  41. Get yourself a caulking gun. Makes it easy to get sealant into those tight corners. Also RTV Grey is cheaper in the big tube. Guy with the Cadillac didn't pay extra for turn signals. They're optional on cars that cost over $60k.
    22
  42. This is what happens whe you build them as fast and cheap as possible and use low paid labor. Ask if the subs use union labor and get it in writing.
    21
  43. My '97 WS6 had Hotchkis springs and swaybars, Bilstein shocks/struts and Brembo 14" brakes. Ran the Gold Rush open road race and was stable for miles at 150mph.
    21
  44. Hey Ray, they make single post battery terminals. I would've had your parts guy order those rather than using the "off the cardboard" universals. You went through all of that effort to make up the cables correctly then Jerry Rigged the clamp.
    20
  45.  @sturnie1  I've reported many porn links in the comments. When the bots start posting on your videos, that's how you know you've "made it" on Youtube.
    19
  46. LOL @96 degrees. The official high in Vegas is gonna be 119 today, which means it'll be 125 at my shop.
    19
  47. He would know this if he read the instructions. He never does though.
    19
  48. It shouldn't be possible to get 8 DUI's. I think the 5th one should result in a life sentence. If you get 5, you clearly have no regard for the public and are a hazard to the public. You no longer deserve to be a member of free society.
    19
  49.  @alvinv.5980  She was 17 and it was her first award. She was obviously in shock. The right move would have been for the Grammy's to ban Kanye from ever receiving or even attending the Grammy's ever again.
    18
  50.  @Chief1063  I also don't need traction control, or a back up camera, or blind spot monitoring, or automatic braking, or parking sensors. 90% of these features wouldn't be needed if people just kept their phones in their pockets.
    18
  51.  @williamegler8771  What's the rev limit on most econoboxes? Not 9k. How hard do they get driven on a daily basis?
    18
  52. Yep. Cold is not really it's own thing in physics. Cold is how we perceive the absence of heat.
    17
  53. Tip for next time... If you remove the switch assembly from the door panel, you can leave it hooked up. Makes these jobs much easier. I also unbolt and remove the glass first.
    17
  54. and when you're a shop that warranties your work, you replace the whole unit, so you don't have a customer coming back with another issue.
    16
  55. Prices go up, quality goes down and the only people happy are the shareholders and executives whose pay is tied to share price.
    16
  56. It should be noted, your story says 84% of new homes are in HOA's. This seems to imply that most people want them. This isn't true. In many areas, local government REQUIRE builders to establish HOA's. This is to remove the burden of code enforcement from the government.
    16
  57. @10:30... Project Farm settled the penetrating oil debate. Gibbs is the best, followed by Liquid Wrench then Seafoam. Also, pre-soaking fasteners and letting them sit for 24 hours makes a huge difference in breakaway torque.
    16
  58. Any suspension part with a rubber bushing should be tightened at ride height. Otherwise, they become preloaded when you lower the vehicle which leads to early failure.
    16
  59. I'm gonna start by saying Toby is a great tech and seems like a great guy. However, he's not an LT1 expert. It's easy to become one though. @2:30... Nope, just a throttle body. Probably a 52mm. @13:15... The water pump isn't belt driven, it's driven off the timing chain. There was never a belt there. It's ribbed for one because GM used an off the shelf part from a different GM engine. @14:00... In the future, place the lift arms on those plastic pads just forward of where the lift am is now. That's the "lift pad".
    16
  60. If there's a fuel pressure regulator with a vacuum reference, all of the codes (except the TCM codes) could be caused by a vacuum leak.
    15
  61. A flywheel performs a function of keeping the engine rotating while the clutch is disengaged. It has mass to hold kinetic energy so that the engine rpm doesn't drop too much and force the synchros to slow the transmission's input shaft down. This prevents premature synchro wear. This is why lightweight flywheels on street cars aren't a great idea unless you don't mind rebuilding your trans every 60k miles. That being said, I use lightweight flywheels on all of my cars because I don't keep them long enough to worry about it.
    15
  62. An accident like this raises prices because "heavens to mergatroid" we can't let our shareholders take even the tiniest of hits.
    15
  63. Buick is the #1 selling American brand in China. This is the reason GM kept Buick and killed Pontiac.
    15
  64. I put 500k on my Nissan Hardbody SE-V6 by changing the oil every 3k. You don't need expensive oil or filters, just need frequent changes. I use Castrol GTX non-synthetic and cheap Fram filters. I also do all the maintenance religiously... fluids, timing belt, clutch, etc... I've never had the oil pan or valve covers off. Everything works, including the A/C.
    15
  65. You can fix the hatch rattle in the T/A. Replace the screw in bumpers.
    15
  66.  @bobdylan6773  Found the Hobit!
    15
  67. Service writers should say, "no" in this situation. We ALWAYS charge diag. Even if the customers says they know what's wrong. If they don't like it, they can go somewhere else.
    14
  68. It was too slow BEFORE the big tires. It's extra slow now.
    14
  69. If you suspect the VVT solenoid, you can go into "engine data" and watch the cam timing. Throw the D8 into graphing mode and watch for a drop or spike.
    14
  70. You folks act like this is something new. Are any of you old enough to remember George Bush's (the first) speech about the New World Order?
    14
  71. Nathan, hood props NEVER fail. Hood struts do. Just saying.
    14
  72. I used to use that same phrase with my service advisors, "waiter's gonna wait". It always pissed me off when they'd start bugging me 2 hours into a 6 hour book time job. Who's bright idea was it to tell a customer they could wait in the lobby for a 6 hour job? Dumbasses.
    13
  73. He had trouble because it's a VQ35 engine. They're just like that.
    13
  74.  @christianh5826  HOA's inspectors can not enter private property for enforcement. They can take picture from the sidewalk, but they can not legally be on private property, only community property or public property. I'm VP of my HOA specifically to protect homeowner's right. I was tired of unreasonable rules so I ran for VP and won.
    12
  75. I spent about 15% of my paycheck on tools. Wasn't so bad when I could write them off my taxes. Trump ended that though.
    12
  76. Hey! Let's try leeches. Can't hurt.
    12
  77.  @oterosocram25  Two words... "code enforcement". I absolutely guarantee a lot of those problems are violations. If your city's code enforcement refuses to do anything, you need to become an activist and go camp out at your mayor's office.
    12
  78.  @wesss9353  You say inflation, I say price gouging. Yeah, Deregulation! Thanks, Reagan!
    12
  79.  @maryangozdziewski8129  sucker doesn't take any time. You don't have to monitor it. I was a Nissan Master Tech and worked flat rate.
    12
  80. There's a reason why excellent condition Samurai's sell for the same price as new.
    12
  81. This is a mechanical repair. I've done a few sunroofs and a 370Z convertible top when I was at the Nissan dealer. We never sent this type of work to the body shop.
    11
  82. For someone who's "at a loss for words", he sure does talk a lot.
    11
  83. Your roads over there are kind of narrow and twisty for the trailers we sometimes tow here. Don't imagine you have a lot of dually trucks towing 40+ foot long, 30k Lbs. trailers. I used to tow a 50 foot trailer that could haul 3 cars at a time. Wouldn't make it around many corners there in the UK.
    11
  84. I've never understood why so many people don't take the 3 extra minutes to drain the filter housing before removing. The filter kit even comes with the tool and new o-ring.
    11
  85. Ray, don't put used cats in the scrap. If they're not completely melted or hollow, you can sell them for from $100 to $800, depending on the size.
    11
  86. I'm just happy when my package actually makes it. I shipped a 3 year old Gary Fisher bike by UPS. I even paid for the extra insurance. After 2 weeks, it still hadn't arrived at it's destination. I filed a report and waited 30 days. Then I filed a claim. Even though I showed UPS the eBay listing where I sold the bike for $1000 and I purchased $1000 in insurance, they didn't want to pay me because I couldn't produce a receipt from the store I purchased it from 3 years ago proving it was worth $1000. Had to have my attorney send them a letter explaining their own insurance policy to them.
    10
  87. Backflushing won't clear the orifice tube. The tube is by the high side port. He didn't pass any flush through it. I would have pulled it out to inspect it and probably would have replaced it since they're cheap. You may be thinking of an expansion valve, which is usually on the firewall.
    10
  88. My Snap-On guy gives me free gifts all the time. I got a free winter jacket when I bought my $7k scan tool.
    10
  89. @9:00... To keep from taking a coolant shower, I always slip a hose over the drain.
    10
  90. The dealer used to be the place to go for the highest knowledge tech in a particular brand. So many dealers have become corporate that they've fallen victim to corporate think when it comes to labor. Corporate think says labor is a cost that can be cut to improve profits. This is why I left my dealership job after 4 years. My service manager refused to give me a raise after 4 years. I'm a diagnostician. I usually got other tech's comebacks. I refuse to replace a part until I've confirmed the fault. I was undoubtedly replaced with a lower paid parts swapper. Times have changed. The knowledgeable techs are mostly at independent shops now. Like you, I now have my own shop.
    10
  91. The Ultra wasn't very floaty. Probably just blown shocks.
    10
  92. I'm a big proponent of Stihl for 2 reasons... Made in the USA (or Germany) and I used an 044 as a BLM firefighter for 4 years. We were religious about sharpening and maintenance and I used the same saw for 4 years with no breakdowns. My saw probably had more hours per year than any saw other than a logger's.
    10
  93. Yep. I always put a screw jack under the trailer hitch. Not meant to support any real weight, just keeps things from swaying and putting unnecessary strain in the rack.
    10
  94. I'd love to meet Mary and find out if she's really this much of a goofball or is it just a TV persona.
    10
  95. I'd like to see the actual estimate. I'm curious why it's so high. I'm guessing your head wasn't rebuilt and he actually bought a brand new head from Toyota. That would explain the high price.
    10
  96. Seen a few farm trucks with old tires bolted to the bumpers.
    10
  97. He wants it to go flying. It's for dramatic effect.
    10
  98. You know there's a book in the glove box that tells you how all of the systems work, right?
    10
  99. The 1990 ZR-1 is on my very short attainable dream cars list. I have a very long "I'll never be able to afford" dream car list as well, but I might actually buy one of these some day. I want the 1990 because it's a one year car. It has the pre-facelift front end with the convex ZR-1 only rear end. IMO, the LT5 is THE Chevy 350 engine to own. Developed by Lotus, built by Mercury Marine.
    9
  100.  @Cheepchipsable  get over yourself, internet white knight.
    9
  101. As a former Nissan dealer tech, I can tell you that some dealer techs are morons.
    9
  102. The SRT-6 was actually pretty cool. Just wish Mercedes had a manual that fit the supercharged engine. BTW, those styling features on the hood are called "scallops". You probably know that, the word just escaped you at the time. Same thing happens to me.
    9
  103. If that Pathfinder had a stick, I'd be a bidder when it hits TFL Bids.
    9
  104. I remember Mercedes came out with a print ad claiming their SLK55 was the only car in it's class with a standard V8. Lexus made them print a retraction. The SC was a little too Grand Tour and not sporty enough. They basically built a car for 70 year old's going to the golf course. The SLK appealed to a wider audience.
    9
  105. Just wanna say thanks... Now every time I hear a phone ring, I'm also doing a Swedish Chef impression.
    9
  106. We have 3. Only one is brave enough to venture in the shop and actually be petted. We feed and water them. We used to have a rat issue. No more.
    9
  107. It may not be his primary skill, but learning something new is never bad. I love learning new skills. It makes me more employable.
    9
  108. Altima 2.5 with a check engine light... Probably needs a transmission. I used to do 3 in a day. The oil leak is the o-ring at the top of the oil cooler. I've changed many hundreds of them. It's a TSB. It's a 4.9 quart engine. P0420 on a 2.5L Altima is usually a cracked weld on the cat. At Nissan, we replace the cat. At my shop, we usually re-weld it.
    8
  109. Watching you pull the change out of the console reminded me of a customer I had that pulled the change out of his cupholder in front of me before I took his car. I told him, "Sir, I'm not losing my very well paying job over $3 worth of change. It's safe in your cupholder".
    8
  110.  @eaauto6182 Horrible idea to allow someone to have their car back when they've proven they don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.
    8
  111. I wanted a Regal T-Type or Monte SS back in high school. I'd still take one in mint condition. That's probably why the prices are going up on 80's and 90's cars. We Gen-Xer's are wanting to buy back our youth, much like how our parents drove up the prices on 60's muscle cars about 10 years ago.
    8
  112. So, you also have a service writer who comes and asks, "how much longer" when you're only 1/2 of book time into a job?
    8
  113. As a torque wrench troll, I only use a torque wrench on bolts that are compressing gaskets, or where I wanna make sure I've met the minimum torque requirements, like wheels and crank bolts.
    8
  114. Those heat shield bolts ALWAYS break on 4-banger Altimas and Titans. I always drilled them out with a reverse drill bit.
    8
  115. @8:30... Well, we know what happened. Fan stopped working, car overheated and someone replaced all the wrong parts chasing the overheat situation. Doesn't matter though because when it overheated, the driver kept driving until a head warped and blew a head gasket.
    8
  116. As a former dealer tech, I can tell you that dealerships knock money off for any aftermarket work, even if it is done right. Reason being, what some people think is cool will turn off some buyers. The biggest offender is aftermarket exhausts.
    8
  117. What angers me more than that these things happen is the excuses and "reasons" that my conservative acquaintances come up with to justify this stuff.

  118. I think the problem is much simpler than Ben puts it. The problem is that nobody is willing to accept less than 100% of what they want. People have become so entitled that they believe they deserve what they want and if anyone tries to deny them that, then they're the enemy and need to be destroyed. This applies to BOTH sides of the aisle equally.

  121. My Panther of choice is the Marauder with the 32V 4.6. Friend of mine had a supercharged one. That thing was fast when you wanted and a boat when you wanted to cruise. @5:25... Ford built a longer wheelbase Panther called the Lincoln Town Car "L". That's the one for rear seat legroom.

  122. I think it's worth dropping a used engine in it. Replace the radiator and flush the evaporator core. Should run around $3k and the Jeep is worth about $8k, at least it is out here in the SW.

  123. @32:20... You're supposed to go over the water pump pulley last. That's why it has the rounded outer edge. To make it easier to slip the belt over it. It's also a larger diameter, which makes it easier.

  125. I always make sure to tell the customer that the book called for much more time than what I charged them. Use the discount to earn that repeat business. This torque spec is why I spent the money on electronic torque wrenches. They can be set to measure angle and beep at 45 degrees.

  127. Back in the 90's, a guy I used to ride with got killed when a truck ran over an "alligator skin" (retread that came off a truck) and kicked it up right in front of him. It hit him in the chest and broke most of his ribs. He bled out internally before they could get him to the hospital.

  128. This.

  133. Gonna be 115 in Vegas this week. We have an excessive heat warning from the Nation Weather Service all week. Using standard calipers, you're just measuring the lip at the edge of the rotor. I have calipers specifically for measuring rotors. A proper brake inspection doesn't require removal of the caliper. I have a measuring device that slides into the caliper to measure the pads. I can give the customer an actual measurement without removing the caliper.

  135. That 0-8 oil is to meet EPA emission and fuel mileage. Don't use it. It's too thin to properly lubricate the engine. Use 0-20 or if you're some place super hot, like Vegas or Phoenix, use 5-30..

  141. I will own a C6 Z06 eventually. I love the big 427 NA engine. Everyone complains about the plastic interiors and the shared parts, but without them, the car would've been much more expensive. Chevy remedied this (and raised the price) in the C7 and C8 with the available all leather 3LZ packages. You can pay almost $200k for a fully optioned C8 Z06. @12:55... Actually, you'll find it down by your left foot. Despite having this manual latch, people still manage to get locked in their cars if the battery dies. These are people that don't know that cars come with a book in the glove box that explains how to use the features in their cars.

  142.  @peterperpetua2974  Same. I don't pull the intake when doing cooling module work on a PT. I just remove the grille and core support.

  143.  @denniss9620  Yep. My '87 Hardbody V6 has 465k miles on it with nothing but cheap Castrol GTX and [GASP!] Fram oil filters. Changing the oil and filter every 3k miles is the key, not additives.

  146. IMO, Their lack of torque makes them not so great street cars. That being said, I've built two into SCCA championship winning race cars for Steve Zink. We also built one for his daughter, Nikki. He's actually set a few lap records for the class faster than what he's actually in. Their high revving nature makes them great track cars. They can hold a gear longer which means you don't have to upshift mid-corner, helping with stability. I wouldn't mind owning an R3 version.

  149. I like the SSR, but prefer the Trailblazer SS. Same drivetrain, more room and not much more weight. The SSR is a bit heavier than it looks. I had a RWD TBSS with 400whp and loved it. The SSR is what the Prowler should have been. Andrey, there was one other convertible truck... the Dodge Dakota. Nice ones are hard to find though as most were daily driven and used like trucks. Also, if you're really looking for one, a dealer here in Vegas, Baja Motors, has 3 for sale. They have a 2006 with 47k miles and the 3SS pkg. It's and auto though and has 47k miles. It's overpriced at $35k, but you might be able to negotiate.

  152. It's a decent enough car, but for about the same money, I'd rather a Panther based car. The first gen was much more popular because it was the first "jellybean" car. It was a new design language that nobody else had. Because of the Taurus, the next generation Camry got rounder. My step-mother had one of the very first Tauruses sold in Massachusetts. It was an LX with every option. I loved it.

  155. The main thing that tells me it's not a leak is that it's intermittent. Intake leaks don't come and go, they're constant. Intermittent problems are almost always electronic. When you need to work on warm exhaust components, you can cool them off with a water bottle set to mist. It cools the components slow enough that you won't warp or crack anything. I set a blower pointing at the area and spray with water mist.

  156. Where's that? Cuba?

  157. This one was easy. Some cars require removing the front bumper cover and the headlight assembly.
    6
  158. Because it's a Nissan VQ35 engine. You'll learn through your career that certain engines have quirks and certain vehicles have common problems. For example, when a customer calls my shop and says they have a Nissan Armada (Infiniti QX56) or Titan and the heater is blowing cold, I know it's probably the heater control valve under the hood because they fail all the time.
    6
  159. It's odd that the new machines fill with the bottle right side up. My Robinair requires the canister be upside down. The hissing in the dash could be an evaporator leak. 1234yf high side psi should be around 250 at 90* F. 325 seems high. Either overcharged or expansion valve.
    6
  160.  @clbcl5  The things Ray is talking about are really about all corporations, just the publicly traded ones. Milton Friedman ruined publicly traded corporations in the 70's and 80's. His philosophies shifted focus from the customer to the shareholder. He said CEO's pay should be directly tied to the share value. This is why CEO's make short sighted decisions to boost short term gains at the cost of long term viability. I could go on for pages, but the TLDR version is that the problem is shareholders, not the actual business. The only way to fix it is to support small businesses and privately owned businesses and to move away from public ownership.

  161. I would have drilled a few small holes behind the low beam fan to allow a small amount of airflow without compromising the weather protection too much.

  162.  @martinsvensson6884  The T56 is a double overdrive, so it's very high. Works great with a high torque V8

  163. That was their first mistake. Second was not pitting the car before it got to a major population center (Las Vegas).
    6
  164. Looking at this truck makes me think of something you should do for your customers that I do for all of mine... Polish the headlights. I do it for free for all of my customers. Takes me 5 minutes per light and my customers always love it when I point out that we did it. It's one of the little things that makes my customers keep coming back.
    6
  165. As a former Nissan tech... It's sooooo much easier to recover the A/C while removing the fans, then remove the radiator and condenser as a unit. It actually takes less time than fiddling around with the lower tabs. You're also less likely to damage the radiator or condenser. Also, I keep a vacuum hose connector the same size as the trans lines and connect them together to prevent leakage. Why don't you use the vacuum filler? We saw you have one at the start of the video. Also, if you don't use it, remove the bleed screw on the heater hose. These VQ motors all have a bleed screw because the heater hose is higher than the radiator.
    6
  166. Of course they engineered the whole thing... There was no WMD. Cheney was the MOST adamant that there was.
    6
  167. You don't need to remove the rear cover if it's not leaking. There's a cut-out at the 1 o'clock position of the seal to make removal easy and if you buy a Delco seal, it should come with an installer.
    6
  168. I stick the oil fill cap on the hood latch. Can't close the hood. In 30 years, it's saved me 3 times.
    6
  169.  @robertmisiuk7137  Yep. We used to charge about $3k at the dealer for the job. That was 10 years ago. Cheaper to buy Doug Thorley headers and aftermarket cats like Magnaflows. Never put cheap aftermarket cats on a Nissan. You'll get a 420 or 430 code. Nissans don't like them.

  170.  @KiyaWarrior  Less than a dozen known issues is not "hundreds".
    6
  171. Robert, Dorman makes a blend door repair kit for the F150 that drastically cuts down the cost. Takes the labor time down to about 1 to 2 hours. It does require cutting off a piece of the dash that's covered by the glove box, so you'll never see it. It also requires cutting a hole in the HVAC box that gets sealed up but duct tape (real duct tape, not the grey stuff you buy at the hardware store).
    6
  172. I've been saying, "Isn't it ironic that "Ironic" contains no irony" for years...
    6
  173. Just a suggestion... In your video titles, you should include words that mention the parts your replacing and the model of car. This will make your videos more searchable and will probably get you more views and subscribers. Example, this video should be "Bad Idea! Will it survive? Chevy Cobalt 2.2 radiator". Now anyone looking for a "how to" on replacing their Cobalt radiator will find your video.
    6
  174. World's easiest condenser replacement. With the compressor, start the bottom bolts so you know they're lined up, then do the top bolts. This takes the weight off the lower bolts. Then go back under and run in the lower bolts. Yes this means climbing out and going back under, but to me that's easier than trying to run the lower bolts in with all the weight on them. BTW, I hope you get that when I post a comment, I'm just one tech trying to share with another. I'm in know way suggesting you're doing anything "wrong". I learn stuff watching you and hope maybe I can return the favor by sharing some of what I know.
    5
  175. Nearly ALL vehicles turn on the A/C compressor with defrost.
    5
  176. What year is the FR-S? Never mentioned it. Former Nissan dealer tech here... The M35x just needs cam and crank position sensors. Very common failure and it causes the VDC and Slip lights to come on and puts the am in limp mode. Those Titans are unkillable. The clunking is almost certainly the motor mounts or the swaybar bushings. Both are common and cause clunking.
    5
  177. Yep. The auto cars had a 4 port engine, the manuals had 6 ports.

  178.  @mrmariusi  Nobody said it was cheating. I explained why the trailer Tesla used wasn't the same. A lighter trailer is an advantage.

  179. I can't work like that. I put everything away at the end of the day. Goes back to my dealership days where you had to put everything away and lock it up, or your stuff would grow legs.
    5
  180. The maintenance schedule on these new DI engines should include an engine de-carbon every 30k miles at a minimum. The valves no longer have gasoline washing them off.
    5
  181. Asshat... and I'm not talking about that thing on his head.
    5
  182. @6:20... That's not where the front seat was when you were driving. Put the front seat in a position for anyone over 5' 9" and the back seat passengers better be double amputees and there's zero leg room. @10:30... You can use a Sohn adapter or you can do like we do in the race cars and run premix in your gas, just like a 2-stroke engine. We eliminate the oil injection completely. This allows us to control the oil ratio.
    5
  183. I regret not buying that '99 back in '01. Guy wanted $29k for it. 4x4 club cab with a manual, rear locker, 650HP and 1200Lb Ft.
    5
  184. When I have to deal with a full glove box or cubby, I get a small parts box and empty the property into the box. I leave the property in the box when I return the car to the customer. I then explain that I left the stuff in the box because I knew I wouldn't be able to put the stuff back how they had it.
    5
  185. The AWD in these cars is a big reason they're so quick. My buddy had an RS and he regularly embarrassed me in my Caliber SRT-4 with 400whp. Brenden... That RS is NOT stock. It's got a Cobb intake, exhaust and it sounds like it's got a catless downpipe. Probably tuned, too, if it has those bolt-ons. Ford didn't really sell many RS's here because they didn't bring the 2-door everybody wanted. We wanted the Euro RS, not just anything with an RS badge on it. Booooo... No head to head drag race. You need a buddy to film with.

  187. You know what's fun? When you're trying to pull the heater hoses off and the cooling system is so corroded that the outlets snap off at the firewall and you then have to remove the entire dashboard to replace the heater core. Yep... Done it. I'd buy those pliers through your link if I didn't already have 'em.

  188. Justice Thomas told Cannon what to do and she did it.

  189.  @dummkompf  That was a long time ago. Du-Pont has changed the formulation of Teflon since then. I don't think any of these pans actually use Teflon. The only pans you need to watch out for are old Teflon pans with the coating starting to fail.

  190. Here in NV, we passed laws preventing squatting. Squatting no longer exists under NV law. the only way a squatter can make any claims is by Adverse Possession, which requires they live on the property for 5 consecutive years, pay all property tax during those years and are never asked to vacate.
    5
  191. Same with my '97 WS6. Put it in 6th and cruise at 70 on the highway. Even with a 3.73 Moser 12 bolt rear, I still got 30mpg on the highway.
    5
  192. I've found that on pretty much every modern car, removing the radiator, condenser and fan as a unit is usually the quickest way. I will say, this is the first time I've seen a trans cooler in the A/C condenser, rather than the radiator. Chrysler has been doing interesting things with A/C systems as of late. They also used the A/C system to cool the intake charge on the Demon.
    5
  193. They're supposed to consume oil. The engine actually has oil injectors. Perhaps he should have read the owner's manual.
    5
  194. I had a '98 B4000. I loved that thing. Sold it when it hit 200k miles. Didn't want to be the one holding the bag when it finally broke.
    5
  195. I mentioned in the fleet video that I've got an '05 JCW R52, with 207hp, Sport Chrono and a manual trans. I like it, but it's a good thing I'm an ASE Master Tech. Keeps popping check engine lights that I'm constantly chasing. Mostly emissions related (vacuum/boost leaks). The only other problem is that the left top pin needs to be "guided" into it's hole or it misses. Picked it up for $5k with an oil leak. Was just the o-ring on the crank sensor. I'm surprised you didn't mention the JCW package. It was a pretty rare dealer installed $5k option. It even included a new cylinder head. If you're ever in Vegas and wanna check it out...
    5
  196.  @defaultname531  Because they don't want you messing with it. The fluid level being set correctly is extremely important in a CVT. They want you to take it to a shop or the dealer.
    5
  197.  @XStuntManiac  R134a is actually over 1400 and 1234yf is under 1. Not to bring politics in this, but I've heard many conservatives blame American democrats for this. 1234yf was actually developed to meet European standards, not the US's. Also, the only reason it's expensive is because two companies hold all of the patents, DuPont and Honeywell. Despite the fact that most of it is cheaply made in China (a small amount is made in Louisiana), they can charge whatever they want.
    5
  198. Problem with saying, "don't live in an HOA", is that in some states, it pretty much rules out living in a community less than 30 years old. Here in Clark County, Nevada, the government mandates that all new communities have an HOA. They do this to shift infrastructure costs to the builder and residents rather than the taxpayer.
    5
  199. @2:55... Heater circuit fault... I can't tell you how many times I've had a car in my shop with that code and it was just a fuse. So many people (even techs) don't realize the heater circuit has it's own fuse. Not saying that's the issue here, but it's the first thing I check. @15:30... You can get to the connector from underneath, just gotta wait for it to cool down so you can reach over the cat. @24:35... Yes, it is. That's the crankcase fresh air side. The PCV side pulls air OUT of the crankcase into the intake manifold. That creates a vacuum in the crankcase that is equalized by fresh air drawn IN from the clean air side of the intake. The problem is the PCV being stuck open, so even minimal vacuum in the intake is opening it. Should only open under high vacuum. @47:00.. Not only was he replacing the wrong bank, he also replaced the wrong sensor. That's Bank 2 SENSOR 2, not sensor 1. @54:50... I charge what the diagnosis should have taken. About 1.5 hours plus the part. I don't tack on the replacement time because replacement is part of the diag tree.

  200. When I tried to join the USAF, I was told I couldn't fly fighters due to wearing glasses. I could, however, fly bombers. I asked if that included the B1 and was told yes. I set my sights on flying the B1. I ended up being medically disqualified at MEPS. It's how I found out my kidneys were failing. 30 years later, I've had one kidney transplant and am waiting on another.

  202.  @stickboslightning  My Triton has features even a normal bi directional scanner doesn't have. I can write VINs to new modules, do TPMS sensor relearns, reset oil life monitors, and it has a built in Scope and multimeter. It's worth the money in a shop where it used to make money. I'd never recommend one for home use.
    5
  203.  @solocamo3654  Well yeah, a newer car might beat it. A Miata of the same year won't. Even track prepped. If they bring the rotary back, it'll dominate on the track again.

  204.  @palebeachbum  Seriously? They have oil injectors. These injector spray oil into the combustion chamber. If you're gonna comment, make sure you know something about the car you're commenting on.
    5
  205.  @williamegler8771  It is. It's the nature of the engine. It make NO torque down low, so it spends most of it's life in the upper rev range. You've obviously never driven one. They don't just want to be revved, they demand it. It redlines at 9k.
    5
  206. Those FJ's have an electric master cylinder. There's a bleed procedure you should follow. Not following it can damage the accumulator. You also need to let the master cylinder cool down for two minutes after every minute of use.

  210. This is why I don't wrench professionally any more. I only do it as a hobby, so I can take my time. When I was at the dealership, I flagged 2 hours for every hour I worked. I still did quality work, but occasionally overlooked small details that I wasn't being paid for. Now, I can be thorough, since the money I make isn't paying my bills.

Whether it’s a 2-door or 4-door, every model offers premium styling and technology, as well as an AMG variant for an added burst of power. From the sleek CLA to the fearless GT, they’re perfectly tailored, seductively shaped and supremely appointed. The result is a selection of coupes that turn heads as well as they turn corners."

  226. You guys stole that WS6. Here in Vegas, LT1 WS6's are selling for $10k+. LS1 WS6's sell for over $20k. My '97 WS6 used to smoke C5 LS1 'Vettes. Brenden, if you decide to sell the T/A, let me know. ;)

  230. We have several unfinished condo developments here in Vegas. They started building, then realized nobody was buying at the prices they were asking and just abandoned the project. There are unfinished condos near my shop, in a pretty bad part of town that they wanted $400k for. This is an area with hourly rental motels, mostly Mexican stores and restaurants, and commercial properties (mostly auto based businesses). Nobody is paying $400k for a condo in this area. I don't know what the hell this builder was thinking.

  231. I got it down to 2 hours, but that was after about a dozen of them for practice. When you're at the dealer and only work on one brand, you get pretty quick. Plus, I personally own an '87 Hardbody with the VG30i that I've had since new. It's got 460k on the original, never been cracked open, engine.
    4
  232. I mentioned in another video, but be sure to check the rear upper and lower control arm bushings. Known issue and it causes a "death wobble". Coolant drain on this should be a phillips head plug in the bottom, center of the radiator. If you're draining the coolant, just pull the radiator. So much easier.

  237. I moved to Vegas in '92, when there was 800k people here. Vegas was great in the 90's. It's crap now. Too many Californians moving in with their "just sold my $1.2M, 1300 sq ft. house" money, causing real estate and all consumer goods to go up in price. We also have much higher gas prices than most of the country due to CARB requiring special "California blend" gasoline. We get our gas from Cali, so we get the same CARB blend. Vegas also decided to get rid of all of the family friendly attractions from the 90's because they weren't making as much money as gaming machines would make in that space. Remember... Casino towers aren't built with their losses.

  238.  @garycoulier  First, you need to understand how Dim Sum restaurants work. You don't order food. Women push around carts and you pick what you want. If you're Caucasian in Chinatown and you only speak English, you get normal service. However, if you speak Chinese, the women swarm your table because it's a novelty to them to have white folks there who speak their language. That's "what happened" here.

  242. People with money don't go to jail, they pay fines. Kamala's going after the wrong people though. It's not the grocery stores, it's the middle men between the farmers and the grocery stores. Those brokers are colluding to fix prices. Same with the meat packers. The government is partially to blame for not enforcing anti-trust laws currently on the books. Mergers and acquisitions are being used to reduce competition. When you have few competitors, it's easy to check your competition and match the highest price. When you have a lot of competition, you have to price in the middle of low end to capture the market.

If all of the money that's currently parked in SS gets invested in stocks, that drives up the share prices, which is good for Wall Street, corporations and by extension, politicians. CEO pay is tied to share price. Share price goes up, executive pay goes up. This is why there's a push for privatization of SS. Has NOTHING to do with what's best for the middle class.

  264.  @TassieLorenzo  HP isn't what accelerates a car. HP is just a number used to represent the amount of work done over time. Torque is was does the work. That's why HP is calculated using a formula of torque and rpm. But none of that has anything to do with the point I was making though. I was referring to the importance of light weight and chassis balance, which is where the RX8 shines.
    4
  265.  @TassieLorenzo  You disproved yourself in your own diatribe. You said torque to the wheels can be changed with gearing. You then said you can use a low torque engine to get the same acceleration as a high torque engine by changing the gearing. You see where I'm going here? By changing the gearing, you're increasing the amount of torque going to the wheels... Because torque is what accelerates the vehicle. HP = Tq x RPM/5252. Power = Work x Time. HP is the measure of work done over a period of time.

  269. Was the Akihisa tightened to the same tension as the worm gear clamps (30 in/lbs)? If so, that could be why it leaked at such a low pressure. The purpose of a T-bolt clamp is that it can be made much tighter than a worm gear clamp without stripping. Small T-bolt clamps should be tightened to 60 in/lbs. Large ones to 150 in/lbs. This info is from Norma clamps.

  275. @22:50... You never heard from her? If it's been 3 years, you should have Wife Unit give her a call and see if she's ready to come back for another trans service. I keep track of my customers and check in with them about the time their next service is due. @28:45... The proper way to service this trans requires dropping the pan and replacing the canister filter, right above your hand. A spill and fill leaves about a quart in the pan because of it's shape and there are two magnets in the pan that need to be cleaned. Also, many techs mistakenly think the filter is in the pan. The thing in the pan is just a screen. The filter is in that canister housing. I use the scan tool to monitor the temp to set the fluid level. I believe the spec was about 150, but I'd have to check. Also, use the scan tool to reset the fluid counter. It tracks how old the fluid is. @30:48... I use Heli-coils to fix these due to the low torque. I got really fast at doing it because of the number of hack jobs I had to fix. Oh and get yourself a set of Lisle tap sockets. They're awesome.

  276. Guessing the oil change place under filled it. This is why I tell people not to use those places. They hire kids with zero automotive knowledge, because of the low pay. Always go to a dealership or a full service shop for oil changes (or learn to do it yourself). Low oil could obviously cause the oil pressure code. It could also cause the cam position code. I'd test drive the car again after filling the oil and changing the PCV. It might have fixed everything.

  277. @50:07... I preload the control arm before tightening the front bolt. This makes sure the bushing is in a neutral state when the car is put back on the ground. I learned this when I started building race cars. Just gotta be careful and make sure you're not lifting the car off the lift arm.

  281. @3:40... These re-leak because after you seal these, you MUST let the RTV cure overnight before refilling. Most shops won't do that because they want the car off the lift to get the next paying customer in. This is why I always seal these at the end of the day, so they can sit overnight. When you fill these, oil pools there. That's why all that oil dumped out when you loosened the cover. If the RTV is wet, oil will push a path through as it sit there and the RTV soaks in oil. @19:10... Know what help with phalange fatigue AND saves money? caulking gun with the big tubes of RTV Grey.

  285. That sucks. I ran a Cat 988 loader at a materials mine here in Las Vegas, NV and our dozer operator had a heart attack while pushing material for me to feed into the crusher. He passed out and drove the loader right off the edge. Fortunately, where he was pushing was only about a 15 foot drop. 30 minutes earlier, he was pushing off the high ledge, 200 feet up. We got him out, did CPR and got him back. He hit his head on the windshield and split it open. They helo'ed him out to the hospital and he survived. So glad it didn't happen 30 minutes earlier. If that dozer had gone off that 200 foot ledge, it would have crumpled around him and made him unrecognizable as a human.

  286. Watch the Torque Test Channel's review of torque sticks. Apparently they work great on air guns, but don't work well on electrics. I believe it's the faster speed of the electric gun that doesn't let the torque stick "rebound" which is what makes it effective.

If that's a reman PCM, could be junk. I've seen a HUGE increase in junk reman parts since covid. Most of the reman factories are in Mexico. They must be having the same problem there where low paying labor jobs are only attracting people who can't get a job anywhere else. That being said, the PCM may not be faulty. The relay control in the PCM may be preventing the relay from closing for a reason. Is there a chip in the key?

I was religious about my tire pressures being correct (inflated to the number on the door jamb). However, I still had one (LF) delaminate and put a giant dent in my driver's side rocker panel. Ford and Firestone both refused liability. My insurance paid out over $2k to fix it.

  321. Battery's only a year and a half old. People don't get that if you install a new battery with corroded/worn out terminals, you're dramatically shortening the life of your new battery. Corroded terminals increase resistance, which over works the alternator and kills batteries. Here in Las Vegas, where it's 120 in the Summer and gets down to 30 at night in the Winter, a new battery can last about 4 year if it's taken care of. It will last a year or so if it's not.

  345. You should have one fan blowing in at the front of the shop and two fans blowing out at the rear of the shop. If it works for computer cases, it should work for the shop. @51:59... Guessing we had an incident involving "redneck loctite" (cross threading).

  346. Read the First Amendment before you comment on it. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances". The First says "Congress shall make no law". Nowhere does it say you have an absolute right to free speech. If it did say that, there would be no such thing as slander or libel and you could yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

  350. Before Real World, reality TV was mostly real. After, it's scripted, just like any sitcom. The only difference is that the actors are all amateurs and not professionals. It's really just a way to get around SAG. @8:45... Those of us from the original MTV Generation (Gen X), still crave a channel with music videos. Unfortunately, it no longer exists. It's been replaced by a network that has strayed so far from it's origins that it's no longer recognizable, like TLC and Discovery. @12:00... While CNN did usher in the 24 news cycle, which is largely a good thing, it also made news a for profit business and turned it away from being a public service. CNN is why we now have advertising during the evening news and why sensational headlines and "more on that later" are now a thing.

  353. You had a bad rep, or one you didn't have a relationship with. I've spent about $50k on tools with my rep, but he's been my rep for over 15 years. Most of that was in the first 10 years. Lately, I spend less than $100/mo. just because I have what I need after 30 years of turning wrenches. Despite the fact that I don't spend much now, because of our relationship, not only does my guy not hassle me on warranty stuff, he gives me free stuff. Just yesterday, he gave me a Limited Edition No. 7 ratchet in a presentation box.

  356.  @01gtbdaily30  In 2006, I had been building and racing cars for 20 years. My 350Z was making close to 300whp. That's 60 more than stock. It was tuned, with a UTEC, a piggyback ECU. It weighed 1k Lbs. less than the SRT10. The SRT10 couldn't hold a candle to the 350Z when it came to handling. I don't know which part of my story you don't believe. I said he was pulling on me until the corner. Which part of that isn't believable? Do you think he wasn't pulling on me? BTW, I had a lot more than an intake and exhaust.

  357.  @R3tr0v1ru5  No, it isn't. Cutting costs results in inferior products, which is NOT good for the consumer. If a product is 25% cheaper but lasts 1/2 as long, the price has effectively increased. It also results in unhappy employees with high turnover, not to mention potential supply chain issues of overseas production, made worse by "just in time" inventory systems. You're correct in that we're experiencing what that's like now. Not to mention the fact that your comment incorrectly assumes that rising costs or cutting costs are the only two options. There's a third option... Keeping costs and profits right where they're at. It wasn't until Milton Friedman came along that corporations decided they needed "profit growth" every quarter.

  360. Cars sitting on the rack is why I refuse to start pulling a car apart until I have the parts in hand. At Nissan, even as a Master Tech, I had one rack. I've been burned too many times, having to drag my tool cart around, using the rack of whoever was off that day.

  361.  @solocamo3654  Again, maybe at a stoplight drag race, but not on the track. The NC Miata is not a great track car. Not like the RX-8. There's a reason you see a lot of RX-8's on the track and not a lot of NC Miatas. NB Miatas and ND Miatas make great track cars.

  363. This is the way I do it when installing new parts... After installing the upper tie rod, you adjust it's length so that when the pitman arm is pointing where it was when the steering wheel was straight, the RF wheel is straight. You then install the lower tie rod and adjust it so the left wheel is also straight. Once you finish and put it on the alignment rack, to adjust the toe, use the steering wheel lock to lock the wheel straight. Then adjust the upper rod to correct the RF toe. Then you used the lower tie rod to bring the LF into spec. The way you're doing it is how I do an alignment on a vehicle that's just coming in for an adjustment.

I just wish it had a factory LSD. My second choice for best hot hatch... The HHR SS. Turbo 2.0 Ecotec and rated at 260 HP.

  372.  @shuntawolf  The problem is why does this only happen in America? Other countries don't have this problem. You don't have to worry about defending yourself from someone with a gun. Perhaps it's because we Americans feel we're owed something. If we can't get something by earning it, we feel we have a right to take it.

  376. Yeah, newer Chrysler's require you to register with Chrysler as a technician in order to unlock the gateway to gain full access to diagnostics. It just takes a few minutes to do, but you have to go to their website to do it. Costs $50/yr for the whole shop (16 devices, I believe). This is one of the reasons it's important to support the "right to repair" movement and to lobby your state legislators to pass bills preventing manufacturers from "locking" devices. Apple is the #1 culprit.

  377. I'm probably going to jinx myself, but I've never had to deal with a stuck Triton plug and I've done dozens. Just lucky, I guess. I always use anti-sneeze on plugs because steel plugs and aluminum heads. This is also why I just don't bother using a torque wrench on plugs. I go until seated and then add about a 1/4 turn. The exception being on plugs with crush washers. Those I do a 1/2 turn.

  378. Notice it's McDonald's that are shutting down and not all fast food restaurants? That's because McDonald's is one of the worst franchises you can buy. They take a huge percentage of of the gross sales. Their business model requires paying low wages for the franchisee to make any money. In-N-Out has been paying employees $20/hr for a while, yet they have no problem functioning profitably. Wages are not the problem. Corporate greed it.

On aluminum, I always use a carbide tipped scraper to get most off then use a grey ultra fine. On steel, you can use fine without damaging the metal. I only use coarse on surfaces that I don't mind taking off a little metal. For example, stuff I plan on welding.

  392. @11:00... Don't pull the relays while running a code scan. Pulling them could cause codes to set. I assume you're doing this diagnostic for content since every tech knows when a Chrysler product comes in with lost comms to multiple modules it's almost always the TIPM. Is it possible to be something else? Sure, but the first thing you check is the TIPM. Something in the TIPM caused those two fuses to blow.

  395. Haven't even watched this yet, but if they don't blame everything on "just in time" delivery and the complete elimination of local warehousing, they're wrong. Retailers used to keep more than one or two items in stock and used to have local warehouses that insulated against supply chain issues. These were eliminated to save money. Elimination not only saved money by removing the expense of leasing warehouses, it also meant than when there was a supply chain issue, prices could go up due to the lack of supply and steady demand. It was a win/win for corporations with shareholders demanding increased profits at any cost.

There's something about a car with a V8 with 160 hp, a floaty suspension, 2 finger steering and no electronics. The car definitely needs a deep clean if he really wants to sell it. @7:57...

  399. I agree on your assessment of flag bolts and nuts. I had a new guy come over and try to "help" me with bolt that was stuck in a flag nut. I was reverse ugga dugga'ing the bolt and he stuck his palm against the nut to hold it (no wrench, just his hand). Just as I was saying, "Don't do that, I got it", the flag spun. It took a chunk of meat off his thumb pad and broke a bone in his hand. He was out of work for 4 weeks. I usually throw those away and replace them with a C'lock nut.

  403. I personally think over 55 communities shouldn't be legal. I can't make an "under 55" community, so why is an over 55 community legal? Prohibiting people over 55 is age discrimination, but prohibiting people under 55 isn't? I live full time in a motorhome and am 50, so I deal with not being allowed in over 55 parks all the time. I just don't get why at 50, I'm too young, but when I hit 55, I'm magically a different person?

They abandoned it in a parking lot and I got it back. I finished putting it back together and it fired right up. No engine damage. I still have it and it now has 465k miles on that engine. @27:45... Love that you're doing a timing belt to "Macarena". LOL. @30:00... Go to a Nissan dealer and buy a Kent-Moore oil pan separator.

  432. For future knowledge... Nissan trucks, bank 1 is the passenger's side. Nissan cars are opposite. Yep, it looks to me like they came in flip flopped. Anecdote... On the 350Z, the coil connectors are all the same. On the driver's side the back two coil wires are crisscrossed when connected correctly. I used to get Z's in the shop with a random misfire code because someone did their plugs or valve covers and plugged in the back two coils they way it looks like they should go. I'd swap the coil harness and get paid an hour for something I didn't even pull the car into the shop to fix.

  434. Nissan VQ engines rely on oil pressure for cam chain tension and the variable cam gears. I've seen new techs recommend timing chains or cam gears for rattle noises or cam timing codes without checking the oil level. As a Master Tech, part of my job was helping the line techs. I'd usually walk by and just say, "Did you check the oil level? Just a suggestion" and keep walking.

  437. @1:20... My step-father had a Toyota 4-Runner that used to require about $300 worth of repairs/maintenance every month. When I asked why he didn't just get a new truck, he said he didn't want that monthly payment. After I had him pull out his receipts for the 4-Runner, he went down and bought a new Xterra. He has stellar credit, so he got it for 0% for 60 months and he put 1/2 down. His payment is under $200.

  438. Just a suggestion... If you see rat turds, use a vacuum instead of the blow gun. Rat turds contain lots of nasty stuff that's really bad for you lungs. We can't see your face, but you really should wear a respirator if you're going to blow, rather than vacuum the turds.

  458. Bearings are cheap. I always replace them. You don't really want to use old bearings with new races. The bearings and races wear together. It's okay to repack used bearings if you're not replacing the rotors, but I always replace the bearing when replacing the races.

  459. @11:25... I f***ing hate plastic clips. I get that they weigh less than bolts, but still.
    2
  460. Nice car, but the one to have is the DOHC VTEC (The Si is the SOHC VTEC). Incredibly rare and expensive if it's in decent shape. I wish the Trans-Top had been offered here.
    2
  461. Should still balance that tire. Between wear since it was last balanced and the addition of the patch, you know it's not still zero'ed.
    2
  462. I'm the opposite of the passenger that got off and says she'll never fly again. For me, the fact that the technology (TCAS) worked as designed and avoided the collision just makes me feel even safer. I know that even if an ATC makes a mistake, TCAS is there to catch it.

  463. Any Radwood vehicle. Start with late 80's to early 90's hot hatches with very low miles (like under 30k), special trims (like Type-R, Shelby, etc...) are a bonus.

  464. @15:00... Drop the crossmember! :) For the record, I've never seen you do anything wrong, just sometimes differently than I would do. We all have our ways.
    2
  465. @11:00... There's still more on there because you're supposed to scrub it with a brush after applying the cleaner.
    2
  466.  @TestECull  Non-DI fuel injected engines don't have this problem. No need to go back to the stone ages of jets and needles. Non-DI fuel injection gets better mileage, better emissions and makes more power/BTU of fuel used than carbs.

  467. Just needs a fridge and a rooftop tent.
    2
  468. I got to 8 minutes and asked myself, why are we interviewing this girl? Nobody needs to know her story. She doesn't get to have one.
    2
  469. @17:00, no need to go up. Close the vent control valve and watch the ball on the leak detector drop to zero.
    2
  470. I live in Las Vegas. You guys are a laughing stock for refusing to actually do anything to remove her. Reporting about all of her horrible activities does nothing.

  471. As long as the same meter is used for all of the waters, the numbers don't really matter. The comparison is still valid.
    2
  472. Paperwork looks very Jasper-ish. I'm not a fan. I'm guessing all the sensors that were replaced were replaced with Chinesium sensors. I'd thell the customer to start over. Warranty out the motor and have you install it correctly with Ford sensors.
    2
  473.  @tonycole9620  Do you have an ad blocker? I have two ad blockers, so I never see ads unless I choose to. I disable them when on channels I subscribe to. It's how content makers get paid. I leave them on when just browsing.

  474. When you hold your hands higher than your heart, like when you work laying on your back or with a car on the rack above your head, you get less oxygen to the muscles in your hands. This causes shaking because your muscles spasm when they lose oxygen and fill with lactic acid.
    2
  475. In these situations, I ask the writer, "What exactly was the customer complaint"? If they're wishy-washy, or if it sounds like BS, I ask to speak with the customer directly. I REALLY don't like doing work that isn't necessary. I don't like being used by a writer to rip someone off.

  476. I like the new cordless chainsaws, but for me... Stihl 044 is all I use. Got used to it when I was fighting wildfires.

  477. What's the difference between and oil change and a service? Washer fluid. ;)

  478. @6:40... I'm sure you know this, but you don't need to fight with that. Use that black wheel you just flipped up out of the way. That's what it's there for.
    2
  479. The firing order of odds on one bank and evens on the other is common in Japanese engines. Since the L5P was partially designed by Isuzu, it makes sense.,

  480. Just bought a stock '09 Cobalt SS. 125k miles, original owner. Not stock any more. I can't leave anything stock.

  481.  @matthijs.tieleman  Got mine in perfect condition for $8k. If it was the last one on Earth, it might be worth $9k.

  483. Use your injector cleaner canister to clean the injectors. If you don't have one, BG sells one.
    2
  484. Same with me and Nissan's. I often know what's wrong just based on the symptoms. Working at the dealership sucked, but I gained knowledge I wouldn't have otherwise.
    2
  485.  @stevewhiting556  yep, lots of little stuff. These problems started happening when car makers started sourcing parts from China. When the majority of parts were Japanese, we didn't see these types of problems.
    2
  486. @10:50... No need to move the plug. We know the plug is junk. Just move the coil. If the misfire moves, it's the coil. If it doesn't, it's the plug.

  487. I had to do this same job on a bus built on a Ford SD chassis with the 6.0 Powerstroke. This job was one of the most infuriating jobs I've ever done.

  488. I feel bad for that lawyer, trying to defend the indefensible. These aren't her policies, but she has to either defend them or quit. You could tell she didn't really believe what she was saying.
    2
  489. Replacement parts aren't unobtanium. You just can't get it from World Pac. The VW Beetle is probably one of the easiest old cars to get parts for. There's thousands of companies that not only sell NOS parts, but also reproduce parts. You just gotta order them.
    2
  490. On gaskets, I use a scraper followed by some 3M Scotchbrite by hand. Looks like a freshly machined surface.

  491. For the record, Aaliyah didn't "pass away". She was killed by negligence.
    2
  492. 2005... Pre-CVT. That Altima should run for a very long time. People over look these, but the pre-CVT Altimas are usually very reliable. I was a Nissan Master Tech for 4 years. Maybe consider trading that Apollo in for a Triton. I use my Triton's scope a lot on Nissans. That looks like the updated OEM sensor. The old plastic ones had a high failure rate. Nissan updated the design several years ago. Also, for those watching that own Nissans... Always use OEM sensors. Nissans do not like aftermarket sensors. They will throw the same code in a few months.
    2
  493. @4:18... I use the aluminum can trick. You probably know it, but for those that don't... Cut the top and bottom off an aluminum can. Then cut from top to bottom to give you a thin sheet of aluminum. Wrap it around the crankshaft (you may need two cans worth) and then slide the seal over the aluminum. This keeps the lip from folding inwards. Once the seal is started, pull the aluminum out. @10:35... You need a blind hole puller. They're not very expensive. Also, I'd like to note that I've been in this business for 30 years and the last few years have gotten really bad with getting the wrong parts. I blame this on parts stores not increasing pay to match inflation. If you don't pay for skilled labor, you get unskilled workers. Unskilled works might help the bottom line in the short term, but when it starts to cost you market share, you lose in the long term. These mega corporations don't care about long term because their shareholders only care about the share price and profits for THIS quarter. 'Murica!

  494. You sharing space with a metal fabricator? Lots of background metal grinding noise.
    2
  495. Unfortunately, this particular one is now a $2k beater. My father had an Olds Toronado Trofeo in this era. I thought it was very cool.
    2
  496. LOL @ "Ding, bolts are done". I bet some of your younger viewers will have no idea why that's funny. Surprised the customer isn't having you replace the water pump since it's already off.
    2
  497. The thing I hate most about pulling out hoses like this... Putting the new one back in. @1:00:00... Please tell me you're not a "left foot on the brake" driver. So annoying to drive behind them. Brake lights constantly coming on even though they're not braking.
    2
  498. Oooo... Sportside S-10. Pretty rare truck. I had a Sonoma 4x4 with a manual trans. Loved that truck.
    2
  499. It's approximate because we don't know the tenths.
    2
  500. Sometimes, customer logic makes no sense. "Fix my noisy brakes". "The noise is your tires, not your brakes". "Okay... Go ahead and replace my brakes".
    2
  501. Looks like it has the Nismo (or some other brand), finned diff cover. Check engine light is probably the manifolds. I think I heard them when you started it.
    2
  502. I got got on a box of 4 spark plugs. When I brought back the used plugs, they said it's a good thing I had a commercial account because they wouldn't take them back if I didn't. I told them maybe they need to start checking returns.
    2
  503. Meh... Cheap aftermarket cat. I stopped using them. Too many comebacks.
    2
  504. If you wanna fix your headlights near permanently, you gotta take them off the truck, prep and spray them with automotive clear coat then wet sand and buff them.
    2
  505. BG stuff isn't snake oil, but it doesn't do what SOME shops tout it to do. I've seen shops sell a full package to someone with a bad engine, telling them the BG products might fix their engine. The trick is finding an honest shop, like Ray's.
    2
  506. @49:15... Isn't that plastic cap over the tie rod ball joint supposed to come off? When you tighten it, the cap is being smashed against the zerk fitting. @56:45... That shift knob hurts my OCD.

  507. They weren't going to arrest him, just cite him and let him go. It's his P.O. that decided to hold him. He might get violated and have to serve whatever sentence he had suspended.

  509. @3:35... Union concessions don't work unless the workers see the executives also taking pay cuts. When you ask your workers to sacrifice, it creates morale issues in the workplace that dramatically affects productivity. A worker that loves their job produces far more than one who begrudgingly goes to work every morning and only does the bare minimum. Asking workers to take pay cuts or not get raises is often a corporations first choice to save money. It's usually a bad idea... Unless the workers see the executives also taking pay cuts. They they feel "we're all in this together". Yellow could have saved itself by rebranding Roadway and USF trucks as Yellow and laying off the redundant executives. How many millions could've been saved by just eliminating redundant executives?
    2
  510. I'm sorry for your loss.
    2
  511. Time to pull the cabin filter and send in the boroscope. That's my first step when you can't find the leak in the engine bay. Sometimes, you get lucky and you can just swap the o-rings on the expansion valve.
    2
  512.  @Medusa1861  $800... shop was ripping you off. $800 would've got you a whole new fuel line at my shop. To save you money, I would've quoted replacing just the rusted section.
    2
  513. The taller tires kinda make it look lifted.
    2
  514. Nice thing about old Jeeps... EVERY part is available as an aftermarket upgraded part.
    2
  515. Agreed... New does not mean good. Especially when customers buy their own parts because they usually buy the cheapest part they can find on eBay or Amazon. This is why I refuse customer supplied parts, especially sensors. There's currently a dearth of counterfeit sensors on Amazon and eBay. They're made in China and put in counterfeit OEM parts bags and boxes.
    2
  516. Best off-roader, or best rock crawler? Seems like every time you guys do one of these "best off-roader" comparisons, you only do low speed rock crawling and steep hills. What about high speed desert running? That should be part of the comparison. How the suspension acts when hit with many bumps in rapid succession matters to those of us who don't live in the Rockies. Not a complaint, just a suggestion to make these comparisons more rounded.
    2
  517.  @zachc1297  Grand Sport has the suspension of the Z06, not the engine. Also, you're confusing the C5 and C6.

  518. Something we agree on... Carolina Squat is beyond stupid.
    2
  519. You get a lot more than extra range for $9k. Better acceleration, more features (Autopilot), better looking interior, glass roof.

  520. How is it that GM can make chromes lug nuts that don't swell, but Ford can't?
    2
  521. @6:50... The Matco's are made by GearWrench. @11:55... What if it takes less than 5? There are some V6's that take less than 5 qts.
    2
  522.  @perryshort169  Snap-On actually does make a lot of their own tools. It's why they're one of the few who still make tools in the USA.

  523. Just one thing to keep in mind... Aluminum melts at about 1250 degrees and a MIG arc is about 3000 degrees. A modicum of caution is required.
    2
  524. Putting the weight of the engine over the drive wheels was the idea behind FWD. Porsche and VW did it better by putting the weight over the drive wheels while keeping the steering duties and drive duties separate.
    2
  525. "TRD Off-Road"... Except in snow.
    2
  526. People suck. Lol.
    2
  527. Yes there's a cam position sensor. The fault won't set a code if it doesn't persist for the minimum amount of time.
    2
  528. If it was a fuel issue, it would sputter and die. The fact that it dies instantly points to an ignition issue, most likely the ignition control.
    2
  529. I don't think you're supposed to feel an LSD working. Shouldn't "pop", should slip smoothly. Might need more LSD additive.

  530. Little alien.

  531. The NB's are actually in high demand. Especially the special editions. My shop deals almost exclusively with Miatas. If you buy that car, let me know if you need anything. I have two shipping containers filled with Miata parts. I have over a dozen Miata parts cars and actually manufacture some suspension parts. The guy that owns the shop actually knows pretty much everything about Miatas. The owner drives an NB in the NMCA West autocross series and he regularly sets fast time of the day against cars with 800+ hp. Anyways... If you buy that car, hit me if need anything, parts or knowledge.

  532. I notice everyone was slowing down to look at the accident, but nobody was stopping to ask if everyone was okay... 'Murica!

  533. Sorry haters... EV's are here to stay.

  534. NATO can prepare all they want. There's on reason why no NATO or US forces will ever attack Russia. Putin is an egomaniacal madman who absolutely would use nukes if he thought he was in danger of losing power.

  535. That Dodge sounds like a Nissan Titan. LOL. You might need to adjust the tension on the wire feed wheels.

  536.  @johnt.848  2-door hardtop convertible is the class. "Don't compare my SLK to a lowly Lexus". Stahhhp.
    2
  537. Bullshit. Look at corporate profits during the last three years. Despite cost increases, profits are UP. That means they're charging consumers MORE that what they're losing due to supply side inflation. The government doesn't cause this. This is caused by the need to "deliver value for shareholders" and required quarterly "profit growth". Executive pay being tied to share value is the root cause. Pay executives a flat salary with no bonuses and this will stop because executives will shift focus to what's good for long term growth rather than short term share value.

  538. Not snake oil, but also not the best way to clean GDI intake valves. Best way is to remove the intake manifold and physically clean the intake valves. Done this several times to different GDI vehicles.

  539. The OEM ones are too small.

  540. This is one of those vehicles you diagnose just reading the repair order. Appreciate you going through the steps though for the sake of the edumacations.

  542. Evaluation... Car is broken, get new car. When your car has more broken parts than non-broken parts, it's time to move on.

  543.  @capesquirt  Ford stopped building the CV because towards the end, they were almost all sold to fleets and the fleets were switching to Explorers. PD's wanted Explorers because of the larger cargo area and higher ground clearance.

  544. 372k miles... Those 4.0L I6's run forever. My mother's '01 Cherokee Sport had 350k miles and had been rolled once when she sold it. Got $4k for it. It was a 4x4 stick shift.
    2
  545. @1:55... Creeping over that tiny rock like it's 4 feet high. I'd consider one of these if they dumped all of the technology, gave it a manual trans and transfer case, manual crank windows, no radio and sold it for $40k less. In other words... Make it much MORE like and old Land Rover. As it sits, it's an expensive toy for billionaires. I'm curious... Is this s really old video? Don't yo guys already own one of these? 18:45... Simple solution... Build it in the US. That's the point of the tax. You wanna sell it here, build it here. Wish we had that tax on electronics. Maybe we could undo the off shoring Reagan started.
    2
  546. The time is not an error. It's 7 hours because Toyota wants you to hang the motor and drop the entire front subframe. I believe the Toyota Sienna control arm has something like a 12 hour book time. I'm pretty sure the bodyshop is gonna charge the full 7 hours since they also use AllData. If they're getting paid for it, the person who did the work should as well. I can see giving a discount if your customer is the car owner, but not if your customer is a subletting shop. @27:53... I see what you did there. LOL.
    2
  547. This is gonna be one of those jobs where I'd chase all of the holes before putting stuff back together. @29:00... Yeah, I don't even have a MAP gas torch. I just go straight to acetylene. I do find that using a pencil tip on my torch directs the heat right where I want it without heating the surrounding stuffs.

  548. @4:20... My brother was Air Force back at the start of the Predator program. He's one of the guys that helped write the training materials. He's trying to re-enlist in the Air Guard right now. They want him and are holding a slot open for him because of his experience. He's being held up because when he went to MEPS, they didn't have his full medical history. So now, because of how the military works, he has to wait for a waiver because they're not allowed to just get the missing documents and add them to his file. He went to MEPS in February and is still waiting.
    2
  549. If you ever have a Nissan Versa or Murano with liftgate that won't open, the problem isn't in the liftgate. It's the right front door lock actuator. The ground for the rear liftgate goes through the RF door lock actuator and it's a common failure point. Just thought I'd pass that along.

  551. Never use RTV on radiator hoses. First, it shouldn't be necessary if you have new hoses. Second, excess RTV could break off and cause a restriction in the cooling system. It could also get stuck in your thermostat, which could cause a P0128 code.
    2
  552. Any time I can't duplicate symptoms, I have the customer drive it. Sometimes the symptoms are happening due to something the customer is doing. BTW, I like that song. What do you listen to in your truck? I like 80's and 90's Euro Dance/EDM. I know. I'm the weirdest 49 year old.

  553. I liked my Fusion, but I had a 2.7TT AWD Sport. @4:57... Ranger? Get yourself some tire machines?

  554. I wish manufacturers would just stop using drum brakes. Not only do they not work as well as disc brakes, they're also a pain in the dick to service.
    2
  555. @0:40... Ahhh, an NC Ford Miata. It's a Duratec engine, so probably a head gasket. NC Miata values have been going up ( my shop specializes in Miatas. We own about 30 of them). It's worth it to replace the head gasket. @16:40... Replace radiator, flush trans, cross fingers. I hope coolant hasn't soaked into the clutches.

  556. Suspension parts are why I have a set of large ratchet wrenches. Not gonna grease the outer tie rod ends while you're there?

  557. I listen to a lot of "club" music in my shop. I've had lots of, "you need some lasers" comments.

  558. Some of the 2wd V8 Colorados also had the ZQ8 sport package. That's the one I'd want.

  561. I ALWAYS roll down the driver's window. Prevents keys from being locked in the car. Sounds like they bought more car than they could afford and are trying to find a way to bring it back.

  564. Land Rover's marketing plan is that at a certain age, it becomes cheaper to buy a new one than to repair your old one.

  565. The LFA sounds like an open wheel race car. The Porsche sounds cool, too, but the LFA just has something extra.

  566. Black RTV? I guess it'll work. I always use grey just because it's what the OEM's use.

  567. Dammit! Where's I put my thot spray?
    2
  568. @2:45... Put the two halves back together, ratchet strap it up then creep it into the shop. It'll work. I've done it. @8:50... It looks kinda grey, which indicate water intrusion. I'd check the vent. If it's got a threaded in vent, I'd replace it. If it's just a nipple, make sure there's a good hose on it and it's attached up higher than the frame. @17:45... I use the pneumatic linear impact driver for those. @19:03... What's up with that stud? Someone try to force in the wrong size? @31:40... Some Fahrenheits might help. @53:15... i too am a fan of the AvE, but he didn't coin "schmoo". I've been saying it since I was a kid and I probably heard it from my parents. I am of the 1973 vintage, so it's been around for a while. @55:50... I noticed the conspicuous absence of the brake clean. You run out?
    2
  569. Not mentioned... The hormones that control your blood pressure are made in your kidneys. I have ESRD, or End Stage Renal Disease. My kidneys resemble prunes and no longer make these hormones. I get dialysis to clean my blood and remove fluid, but it doesn't replace my hormones. As a result, my blood pressure soars to 200/110 unmedicated. I'm on several medications, but my pressure is still higher than normal. Even modern medications can't effectively replace the hormones made by the kidneys.

  570. Poor people also pay a good percentage of their income in late fees on things like utilities, rent, car payments, etc... If it wasn't for poor people, pay day loan stores would all close. Poor people have to take short term loans at 400% interest to keep from paying that $200 late fee on their rent. I was poor once and I remember being constantly hit with exorbitant fees that made it even harder to get ahead to where I wouldn't pay my bills late. I remember one time I was late on my power bill. I was going to pay it with my next paycheck (about $220/wk after taxes). Well, they turned me off one day before I got paid. When I went there to pay and get my power turned back on, they had added a $120 re-connection fee. These are the things poor people deal with that keep them poor.

  571. America needs to throw out the business philosophies of Milton Friedman and go back to the practices of the 50's. Invest in workers and customer satisfaction. Stop "investing" in shareholders. Keep the customers and the workers happy and share performance will naturally follow. It just takes longer than buying back stock and using financial shenanigans to boost the share price today at the expense of tomorrow.

  572. Loud clunking from an F-Body is almost always the trans mount, but I'll watch the vid and see what you find. @1:38... I see they already have the urethane trans mount, so probably not it. @1:58... The notorious F-Body 'vert cowl shake. That's normal. @16:17... You're supposed to remove both halves of the clamshell, remove the old busing entirely (you have to grind the rivets off), then re-install.

  573.  @minnesotasteve  Reagan gutted manufacturing in the 80's. I was there.

  574. I'd consider myself to be a Nissan expert, having owned an SE-V6 Hardbody since '87, been working on them since the 80's and even did a stint as a Nissan dealer tech (went to Cali and took all of the SCOPE classes) for 4 years in the 20-teens. The only real issues the Pathfinder has with rust is rotting out the front strut towers. This only occurs in vehicles that get salt an snow packed up in there and never get washed. The lock cylinder issue is probably the little yellow piece of plastic that connects the lock cylinder to the lock rod. They dry out and break. It's really a bad design. I keep a few of them in my tool box. I've replaced them in my 460k mile Hardbody at least 1/2 dozen times. This engine is the MPI VG30E, which makes about 150hp. The engine in my Hardbody is the less powerful VG30i, which is TBI. You do see sunroofs in these occasionally. They're the pop-up type. It may have been part of the "Sport" Package and on SE's. $4k is a very good price. If it was a stick, it would have been a killer deal. The sticks tend to sell for about $1k more. Also, add about another $1-$2k for an SE trim. SMOD refers to the coolant reservoir. When a 4.0/auto came into the dealership with either an overheating problem or shifting problem, you open the reservoir cap and look inside. If it looks like a strawberry milkshake, it gets the trans and radiator replaced. It was such an issue that Nissan extended the transmission warranty. We also would listen for any 4.0's pulling onto the service drive that sounded like they had a supercharger. This meant the tensioners were toast. That's a nice job that paid about 6 hours but only took about 2.5 for a good tech. I had an '04 Frontier S/C crew cab with the VG33ER. It was unfortunately an auto. The only way to get a stick with the S/C engine was the 4x4 extended cab. When I bought mine in '05, the new Frontier was already starting to show up on dealer lots and as a result, I had limited choices. There wasn't a single stick shift left in the country. I had a cold air intake, Pulley Boys 15 psi pulley and a catback. It was not a very impressive engine. The supercharger was basically a giant heat generator since there was no intercooler. I wanted to work with one of the aftermarket companies to develop an air/water intercooler, but there was no interest due to the limited number of S/C's on the road and the fact that it had been discontinued.

  583. @21:58... Careful using that torque stick on an electric impact. The Torque Test Channel proved that electric impacts with over torque torque sticks. The electric hits too fast for the stick to relax between hits. Use a 1/2" air when you use a stick.

  585. @6:13... This is why I use RTV Grey in a caulking gun. I see later in the video, you got the good stuff. At Nissan, we got the exact same short tubes, just with a Nissan logo. Now that I'm at my own place, I just use the big tubes from the parts store. Same stuff. Since you're changing the oil, shouldn't you also do the filter? Then the owner can just rest their oil change mileage.

  586. I hate that these are suddenly popular again. It's making the values skyrocket. I've been looking for a clean, low miles, 1997, MN6, slicktop WS6 for a while and every time I find one, it's way too expensive. Really regret getting rid of mine back in 2002. Mine was black and always got attention when I pulled into a car show. The 1.6 rockers and Borla exhaust made it sound super sexy.
    2
  587. It's always worth it to go back and get the part replaced. What many customers don't know is that parts suppliers, like Autozone and O'Reilly actually cover the labor when a part they sold fails and was installed by a commercial customer (the shop). This is how I'm able to warranty aftermarket parts I install.

  588. Looks like they used good parts but had a tech that was either new, all out of f**ks, or just stupid.

  589. Don't forget one of the coolest features... These came with two ECM maps. There's a switch on the console for regular and premium fuel. Switching to "Premium" increases the boost. Were you driving in Premium or regular mode?

  591.  @neilkurzman4907  "Common Property" used to be owned by and maintained by the taxpayers. Government invented HOA's to shift the burden to the local homeowner. When they did that, they didn't give back any property taxes.

  592.  @neilkurzman4907  What's that have to do with my comment? HOA's were started by the government to reduce their spending liability, yet they kept the money they saved.

  596.  @lucuslopez6866  Not really. Lumber is stacked to the rafters is yards. This is due to speculators trading fictitious materials. This happens in all commodities markets. Remove the speculators by requiring traders to take delivery before they can sell and this volatility goes away.

  597. Check if the cruise control and volume buttons work. Sometimes they still work with a bad clockspring, but sometimes they don't. If you have an airbag light and the cruise doesn't work you can jump right to clockspring without any other diagnostics.

  598. @32:00... If you're doing the timing, leave the valve cover off. Easier to line up the cams with it off. This also allows time for you to put a couple dabs of sealant in the groove, set the gasket it and let it dry before installing the valve cover.

  608. I use a pickle fork on my air hammer to bust those ball joints loose. Not worried about jacking up the boot since it's being replaced. @23:30... Don't fully tighten the rear bushing until the car is on the ground. By tightening with the suspension fully sagged, when the car is put back on the ground, the bushing will be twisted and preloaded. This causes premature wear.

  612. @15:10... The power and ground are the heaters. The sensor side gets 1V power from the ECM. @21:00... Yep. Those aren't wideband sensors. One wire should have one volt and the other should have nothing. @27:30... With almost 300k and multiple misfires, I'd pull one plug to check the condition. If it's bad, I'd do an ignition tune up while waiting for the ECM. @39:48... I concur. 4 years at a Nissan dealer was enough for me. Got tired of having to kiss ass to get the good jobs.

  617.  @85jmccoy  As a former Dealer Master Tech, I can tell you that it's never a good idea to replace a gasket that isn't leaking. A replacement gasket is much more likely to leak. A drop of oil left behind, a bolt not torqued perfectly, a minuscule amount of old silicone left behind, etc... These are all possible failure points. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" isn't just something people say.

  619. Of course this customer "has no money". They're driving a car that was a POS the day it rolled out of the factory. I hate cheap ass customers... They require you to do stuff for free because if you don't they'll be back in full Karen mode and no amount of, "We told you so" will make it stop.

  624. Evans is great if used on a fresh engine and cooling system that's never had water in it. Evans is NOT compatible with any other coolants or with water. ANY water in the system defeats it's purpose. It turns that brown color if there's water in it. It needs to be flushed and refilled. The problem with switching to Evans is that you need several gallons to properly flush all of the water out and have nothing but Evans in the system. I've used it in a few ground up performance builds, but I'd never try to switch a water based system to Evans. @34:24... Jesus is not a metal clip. He's my landscaper. 50:00... Get a spray bottle and mist a little water on the torque converter. That'll cool it down.

  625. Tommy, you should've done a video on the rebuild.

  626. Generally, "sunroof" is used to describe a metal panel that opens, where a "moonroof" is a glass panel. Those are the terms most in the automotive field use, whether the dictionary agrees or not.

  627. This is because Emirates treats ALL of their passengers like people and not cattle. Everyone gets real food, not just First or Business Class, unlike the US's domestic carriers.

  628. I've never pulled one of these apart, so I'm not familiar with this head design. Why do the followers need to be removed before the cam? Would in not be easier to remove the chains, then the cams, then the followers? I get that the cams are under tension. Do they tend to bend or get damaged if removed while under tension?
    2
  629. @9:50... Can't compare this to an Integra Type-R. First, the Type-R was very limited production. Second, it was lighter and handled like nothing else short of a Lotus Elise. Third, It revved to the moon, allowing you to hold a gear longer in a corner. It's just a different animal.
    2
  630. At Nissan, I made sooooooo much money swapping Nissan CVT's. I could do 3 in one day and they paid 9 hours each. Most of the failures are due to the trans either being over filled or overheated. Nissan issued a TSB to install a trans cooler that they provided after replacing the trans. BTW, if you do replace the trans, the TCM needs to be programmed with the latest software and it then needs to be "relearned". This can only be done with a Nissan Consult laptop.
    2
  631. @11:30... This is why, as a tech, I always reserved the right to say "no". When you're good enough that they can't afford to fire you, you can say no. @15:00... I hate drum brakes soooo much. @43:30... I top off most fluids. I don't top off brake fluid because low fluid is an indicator of worn brake surfaces. @46:39... Those are called lug-centric wheels, as opposed to hub-centric.

  632. That Yukon is way too new to be a "classic". IMO, nothing newer than an '89 is a classic. That AMC Eagle isn't really worthy of restoration, but I think with a little work it could be a great daily driver. Especially for a teenager. They're tanks. @4:00... Sorry, the AMC Eagle wasn't the first 4x4 passenger car in the US. The 4wd Subaru wagon was introduced in 1975. @8:50... I had one of those when I first moved the Vegas. I was a Local 12 apprentice and wasn't making a lot yet. I drove it until the front diff exploded while I was hauling ass up a muddy dirt road. I removed the front driveshaft and drove it another year before selling it for what I paid for it. My mother had an '87 Hardbody SE-V6 manual that she bought new. I still have that Hardbody and it has 465k miles on it.

  637. The petcock on the bottom of the housing does allow you to drain some fuel out of the housing to change the filter, but it's main purpose is to drain water, which settles at the bottom of the separator. I recommend opening the petcock for about 5 seconds with every oil change. Just a peace of mind thing. @17:30... Use your new filter tools... Unless this is an old video that you're just now uploading. @19:45... Never buy consumables (filters, spark plugs, sensors, etc...) from Amazon or eBay. The counterfeit parts far outnumber the genuine parts. Amazon and eBay have NO desire to police the sellers because they get a commission for every sale.

  638.  @c-nasty2061  You talking about frozen door locks in cold climates? I'll admit I never had to do one of those, but I'm in Vegas, where if it drops below 32, people panic and act like the world's ending.

  642. I have several bins at my shop... One steel, one clean aluminum, one cast iron. Conveniently, I'm across the street from a recycler. They just bring a forklift across the street and grab my bins when they're full. I make about $300/mo recycling things I used to throw away. As for the batteries, just start a commercial account. Usually, recyclers don't have limits on commercial accounts. Until I got my commercial account, I couldn't recycle cats without bringing the registration from the car that the cat came from.

  643. I remember when they came out, people were paying DOUBLE sticker price for them. My father's lawyer had one and he took me for a ride in it. It was amazing. Two years later, when I got my license, I wanted one, but they were still selling for over sticker. @5:16... If you think the Lotus Elan is rare, find a Kia Elan. I notice you kinda skipped the 3rd gen, which was largely a Ford.

  650. HOA's should not be allowed to restrict activities, only the physical appearance of the property. HOA's were established to ensure the property values of a neighborhood would not be negatively affected by one individual. The appearance of a property can negatively affect the value of neighboring properties. Activities, being temporary in nature, do not. Me changing my oil or having a yard sale isn't going to affect anyone's property value in a lasting way.

  661. I live in Las Vegas, home of Nellis AFB. Several of my friends and my brother are all Air Force. Pilots do this all the time. Search Youtube for "F16 formation landing" and watch the first video that pops up. Like I said, this isn't a commercial flight. These are elite USAF pilots, not civilians. You're welcome.
    1
  662. You're a commercial airline pilot, these guys are not. You very obviously didn't watch the video like I suggested. Watch it, then tell me about how you're a better pilot than them, cause they obviously don't know how to land.
    1
  663. I don't have any aviation experience? LOL... OK. I get it. As a commercial pilot, you thought you were the smartest guy in the room and someone challenged that. Don't be offended, just accept you didn't understand what was going on in the video and move on. Many commercial pilots are former military, ask around next time you're in the crew lounge. I'm sure they'll tell you they used to do this on purpose. BTW, I just watched 5 more videos of AF1 landing... Same way, every time. They must be newbies, right?
    1
  664. Frederik, I posted facts and links. Apparently someone didn't like that and deleted my posts. Perhaps someone got butthurt and reported them? Ron, I posted links to SEVERAL videos of AF1 landing exactly this same way. Clearly, they're doing it on purpose.

  682. This is a trend that's been happening for a couple of decades now across multiple businesses. In order to advertise a lower price, companies that used to include taxes and fees in their pricing have been pulling thos taxes and fees out and then tacking them back on later. Just look at a utility bill from 30 years ago and one from today. 30 years ago, you got a bill for $xx.xx amount. Today the bill is $xx.xx plus a list of taxes and fees. Those taxes and fees aren't new, they're just billed separately now so the utility can advertise how little their rates have gone up in 30 years. Same goes for your cell phone bill, airline tickets, car rentals, etc...

  685. I'd just call the Toyota dealer and start matching up the old one. Should be from a Corolla with a 1.8. Then make the customer deal with the incorrect parts. I don't use customer supplied parts, but if they insist, I tell them that if their part is wrong, I'm sourcing the part and charging them for it.

  686. I like the cheap prices on the first gen SRT8 300C's and Magnums, but they tend to be rough due to the low build quality. Paint issues, cheap interior plastics, etc... I guessed $7k. I recently sold my 2009 Cobalt SS with the turbo 2.0. Sold it for $8300. My guess for the NA Cobalt SS is $2,500. My guess on the 6-Series is $4k.

  688. Facebook is worried that people are tired of being the product. I no longer have the FB app on my phone, mostly because I can't block ads. I only use FB on my laptop, where I have two ad blockers and the Facebook Purity app that blocks tings like FB "suggested posts". I'd rather FB not track me at all and charge $10/mo to use it. I very much prefer to pay for services and see zero advertising.

  701. I can't stand when I have to call any kind of support line multiple times. I just wanna ask, "Why it is I can't talk to the guy from yesterday? Are your phones not capable of transferring calls? Did he get fired?". The general attitude these people have is, "I'm getting paid $4/hr, so f*** you".

  704. Before you even pull it in the shop, I'm going with "no" it's not worth fixing. Engine's noisy, exterior is beat up, interior is tore up and it's the cheapest, most base model you can get. This is a parts truck. Alternatively, you could cut off the cats, straight pipe it and drive it until the next inspection or until it blows up.

  710. I blame Milton Friedman's stupid-ass economic principals of putting the shareholder first for ALL of this. Corporations don't care about customers, employees, suppliers or anyone else other than the shareholder. Doesn't matter how many people have to suffer as long as the share price ticks up. Tying executive pay and bonuses to share performance is why every CEO only cares about THIS quarter. Next quarter doesn't matter until next quarter. They don't even consider 5 years from now. Reagan started this mass exodus of tech leaving the US and going to China. RT 128 in Massachusetts used to be a high tech corridor. It became a ghost town under Reagan. My step-father lost his job and his retirement.

  714.  @shuntawolf  you use quotes around "we don't need them" as if I said that. I didn't. Don't need your history lesson as I absolutely guarantee I know more about it than you. Especially our history of conflict. They focus on that when you attend a military high school. The 2A was actually included so land owners could never have their power stripped. The founders weren't the champions of the common folk that everyone seems to think they were. "Let's go Brandon" just tells me not to put much faith in your knowledge of pretty much anything.

  719. Well, it's not really and engine swapped 370. It's the same platform as the 370, but the front and rear subframes are both completely different. The suspension pickup points are completely different. Japanese and Korean car companies are notorious for making you buy higher trims to get options. They don't usually offer many actual options. I assume it's for production streamlining, but it sucks. Turbo speed gauge is a gimmick. I don't know why they don't have oil pressure, like the 370. That's actually a useful gauge.

Do they have jurisdiction to investigate? The Governor's office? Who oversees these township governments? Nobody? In Federal Government there's checks and balances between the branches. Is the mayor of a township royalty or is there a judicial or legislative branch that can challenge her?

  723. Techs that have been working on cars for many years acquire quite a few specialty tools. My rule was always, first time I need a tool, I'll borrow it. Second time I need a tool, I buy it. It's easy when the tool trucks visit once a week. With 3 or 4 different trucks visiting, you've almost got daily access to new tools. In 30 years, I've bought at least $150k in tools. Sad thing is they're probably worth only $30k if I sold them all.

Then I attach the machine. @3:45... Seems I typed too soon. LOL. Great minds... @6:45... The machine we had at Nissan had 4 hoses. We attach the hoses, open all the bleeders then start the machine. We can then go do something else while the machine works. It beeps when it's done.

I'm so done with cheap people owning expensive cars. Being able to make the payments doesn't mean you can afford the car. You have to be able to afford the maintenance, gas, insurance and all of the other expenses that go with owning these cars. @27:00... I keep a large, clean beach towel at the shop to hang over the door. Prevents damage from the lift on the outside and sweaty arms on the door panel on the inside.

  749. I had a '97 B4000 extended cab. Loved that truck. Because it was basically a Ranger, all the parts were super cheap. Not that I ever really needed anything. I think I did oil changes and brakes in the 3 years I had it.

  750. Legit Street Cars tuned his manual C5 to get 400 crank HP and 40 mpg. He tuned it to run 17:1 afr a load load cruise. My '97 T/A manual got 27 mpg with 3.73's on the highway and it made 400 whp. My '08 Mustang GT got 32 mpg with a manual and 3.31's. Why? the massive low end torque and numerically low gearing in overdrive (the T/A had a double overdrive) allow the car to cruise along at 1700mpg. They're also aerodynamic and lightweight, compared to modern vehicles. Compare this to my 200 HP Mini Cooper S. I get about 27 mpg on the highway. Even in 6th, I'm running 3k rpm on the highway. That burns a lot of fuel.

  751. Some Nissan 5.6's had a similar issue with a ball plug on the side of the engine. The actual fix is to tap the ball back into it's seat with a punch and hammer. Some techs (the unscrupulous ones) would write it up as a leaking timing cover if it was under warranty. The criminal techs would do that even if it was customer pay. @3:50... Also, a lot of shops actually LOSE money on oil changes. They use cheap oil changes to lure you on the rack so they can upsell other services. @8:45... Uhhhhhh... Wear's the belt?

To open those up, put the tail in a bench vice and then pull. That will open it up. @23:00... I'd drill those mounting holes out a little and use Rivnuts in the holes.

  757. The race should be down to gearing until you hit 100mph, then the Corvette's aero and weight kill the Camaro. A nice F-body SS or WS6 with a stick will cost more than a similar Vette because they're harder to find.

  758. If you're doing a cam and sending out the heads, have them worked and oversize valves installed. Make full use of that cam. If someone makes headers for thes FWD cars, I'd do those too. Yeah, it's a bit more money, but the performance gain is noticeable.

Might help that I'm a Nissan Master Tech. @3:30... The longest lasting engine in these is mine, the VG30i. It's throttle body injected and made less HP that the multi-port VG30e engine. It's very under-stressed, hence my 465k miles on my original engine. @19:00... That was the second gen Lightning. The first gen was the previous bodystyle and had the 351 engine.

  767. Sometimes, you can unbolt the trans mount and raise the trans slightly to get the pan out. Also, the bell housing would have come off easier and by itself if you removed the C-Clip around the input shaft. You skipped that step. There's a ton of videos on "YouTube University" about rebuilding 6L80's. I'll admit that even after 35 years of working on cars, there's stuff I don't know. I'll occasionally watch videos because everything I want to do has been done before by someone else.

The only bad thing is that the knock-offs are made of hard plastic and break if you ever need to take them back off. The real ones are softer nylon and can be use several times.

The Wrangler for $9k has the older interior and is a soft top. The hard top adds about $2k to the value.

Right now, about 50% of everything going across the dealer auction blocks is going unsold and nobody wants QP's. The N5x series engines are the German equivalent of the LS. They're very popular and very reliable. The N54 is my favorite. With bigger turbos, intakes, exhaust and a tune, they make 400hp.

  798. Middle men, like brokers and commodities speculators. That's why prices are high. Every person that gets between the consumer and the farmer wants their cut. An ear of corn is bought and sold half a dozen times before it gets to the consumer. Eliminating speculators is the easy part. make it illegal to buy and sell commodities without taking delivery. This way only people actually involved in the production and delivery of food can buy or sell it. Getting rid of the brokers is more difficult. Farmers don't want to deal with shopping around their products. They want a guaranteed price before they produce. This makes it easier for them to know how much they can spend to produce their products. When it comes to rent... The just filed lawsuit against Realpage for price fixing tells you all you need to know. The biggest corporate landlords can collude by all using the same software that reports what the rental rates are in an area. When every landlord can see what everyone else is charging, it eliminates competition. The problem with government right now is that even when they investigate and find problems, the solution never involves breaking up companies or outlawing activities or sending executives to prison. It's always just a fine, which these corporations then pass on to us by raising prices.

The car is on when the, "Ready" light is illuminated. I'm guessing this car gets zero maintenance. Either that or whoever's doing the oil changes isn't checking the tire pressures.

  826. Something worth mentioning... Vacuuming the a/c does remove air, but that's not the reason you vacuum an a/c system. Removing air is the mechanism that introduces a vacuum, but the reason you introduce a vacuum is to boil off any water in the system. As pressure in the system approaches 0, the temperature at which water boils drops dramatically. At 0.5 psia, water boils at 80 degrees F. Fun with physics.

  829. You never told us what you actually paid for them. Also, under $2k at a dealer only auction isn't really "under $2k". There's no way you'd get that ZR2 for $2k anywhere in the Southwest US. That's at least a $4k truck. I'm thinking the fact that trucks don't rust here makes them worth more.

  830. @1:30... It's not about competence, just pay AutoAuth the $50 to get your Triton registered. @6:00... The lug nuts are 2 piece. They have a washer and bearings. The bearings are supposed to be lubed with oil when installing them. This allows the washer to spin freely and apply even torque to the wheel. @6:25... They're like that so they can be rotated to the rear. I believe the outside rear goes to the front. The inside rear goes to the outside rear, and the front goes to the inside rear.

  832. Insurance companies suck. Also, body shops that cooperate with them and refuse to stand up for their customers suck. When my Mustang was hit, I had to refuse delivery of the car twice after I inspected it and found non-Ford parts on it and also found some brackets had been bent back instead of replaced. Body shop told me my insurance wouldn't pay for Ford parts and wouldn't replace the brackets. I had to have an attorney call my insurance and threaten a lawsuit to get the car repaired correctly. Switched insurance companies after the repair.

It's called "stiction". Yes, that's a real word, used in physics.

  845. Dealers in Vegas are now charging $200/hr and up. That's an increase of $50 to $75/hr from 2019. I used to work at a Nissan dealer in Vegas and still know a few people there. The techs haven't received any across the board rises, only merit raises that they would have received anyways. So, where's that extra labor money going? Also dealers in Vegas charge customers MSRP + 20% for anyone walking in the door. If you press them, they'll drop the price to MSRP. There was a Nissan dealer here in Vegas that regularly put out 20% off coupons. So, they raise the price 20%, then give you a 20% coupon. Nice of them, right? Also, if you get an oil change at a dealer, the service department buys the parts from the parts department at full retail, then marks them up and sells them to you. All of the departments at a dealership act like separate, independent businesses. Also, at the dealership I was at, when I went to parts to get my parts for an oil change, they'd give me a filter and 4 quarts of non-synthetic Nissan oil. Most of the Nissans call for 5 quarts. I was told to use 4 quarts and then top off with bulk oil from the hose. The Nissan Maxima's at the time were supposed to use Ester Oil. That's the factory fill. Parts had Ester Oil, but they wouldn't give it to us, even though the RO said "Ester Oil" on it. I left the dealership after 4 years. Started my own shop.

  848. @3:50... Wow... That wheel got really hot at some point. That's the color chrome turns when it gets hot. Possibly, the rear calipers were stuck or e-brake was left on. @8:15... Well, based on the fact that the parking brake guts are missing, I'm guessing t=it was left on and wore the shoes to the metal, which heated everything to surface of the sun temps. Probably took out the bearings. @26:15... Mad Max isn't from the 90's or even the 80's... 1979 Mel Gibson's big break. It took him from being an Australian actor to Hollywood.

As private companies have gone public, pensions have disappeared.

  864. @2:00... My first thought is to turn off the A/C and see if the fan comes on thermally. Try commanding it on and watch the coolant temp sensor voltage for a smooth ramp. My second thought is to pressurize the system and try to force a leak. I'm curious why you don't like removing the entire cooling module as an assembly. You always try to remove just the failed part, but it so much easier to remove the entire assembly. It's how it goes in when the car is assembled. @45:00... That non removable upper hose connection is gonna make it hard to get the fan in. This is why I remove the entire module. You can assemble everything out of the car and then just drop it in.

  889. Driven a lot of Supras and I really do not like single turbo cars. To make the kind of power that makes these fun requires a large enough turbo that lag is a serious factor. I drove one example that had 1200HP and up until about 3500 rpm, a stock NA Supra was quicker. When it hit 3500 rpm, it was like someone flipped a switch and the car immediately was bouncing off the limiter and making a bunch of tire smoke. The big twin Supras I've driven were so much nicer to drive. They drove like NA big displacement motors. That's the route I'd go if i ever built my own. Probably never happen though. So many other cars I'd rather have for $50k.

  906. Car may have been on when the battery was replaced. Sometimes techs replace the battery with the engine running to prevent a loss of radio station presets, etc... That would cause the low voltage code and usually causes some sort on ECM or ABS code. Also, I'm wondering if your service advisor told the customer they only need a #6 coil or if she told them they need all of the coils.The labor cost for just the #6 (which doesn't require intake manifold removal) and all of them must be huge. I'm not at my shop, so I can't look it up. I use to get in arguments with my service advisors for selling work I didn't recommend. I get that their job is sales, but I've been called out by customers for recommending work they just had done or they knew they didn't need. I then had to explain that that was the service advisor and I didn't recommend that work. I've actually had service advisors recommend steering flushes on cars with electric steering.

  910. I was a Nissan Master Tech for 4 years. People like to buy P/S pumps from the parts stores. They always end up leaking or not pumping. Yes, they're about $400, but if you get one from Nissan, it should be the last one you buy. I rarely got a "comeback" for a leak. This is specific to the Nissan pumps for some reason. I've bought pumps for other brands at the parts store and never had a problem.

  915. At my shop, I refuse to install non-OEM cats. I've had too many cars come back a month or two later with a P0420 after installing aftermarket cats. Also, any time you remove the bolts holding the strut to the knuckle, you should get a front end alignment. Your home alignment corrected toe, but removing those bolts can throw off your camber and caster. It's worth it to pay for a shop alignment. Plus, the shop's laser system is much more effective than a home toe adjustment.

Just so you know, you may be at a lower elevation than your home, but our D.A. in Vegas is much higher than the actual elevation. In the Summer, our D.A. gets as high as 7k feet. Plus, LVMS only preps the track when NHRA is in town.

  927. @1:37... Sounds like a pretty good Australian impersonation. LOL @8:30... It's because you have no work to go to in the morning and nothing pressing to do. Do you also feel anxious when you're on vacation? Look forward to that when you retire. Guys like us, who work for a living, have a hard time adjusting to not working.

  928.  @timothymiddleton6651  That makes zero sense militarily. It may be Russian held, but it's still in Ukraine. The Ukrainians Would try to take it back, not destroy it. The only people with a motive to destroy it are the Russians.

  929.  @KRT045  No. The SRT4 was a Dodge Caliber (and previously a Neon). Chrysler made both a low power turbo PT cruiser and a higher powered PT Cruiser GT. Both made less power than the SRT4.

  930.  @KRT045  What part of, "The SRT4 was a Dodge Caliber (and previously a Neon). Chrysler made both a low power turbo PT cruiser and a higher powered PT Cruiser GT. Both made less power than the SRT4." was incorrect? The PT GT was not a differently badged SRT4. It had a different intake, turbo, piping and intercooler and only made 230 hp, compared to the SRT4's 285hp. I've owned two Caliber SRT4's. I know quite a bit about them. One I kept stock, the other made around 400 whp.

I tell my writers, "if it's not an OEM brand name, I don't want it". I want Bosch, Denso, NGK, etc... Brands that make OE parts. I don't want "Import Direct", etc... brands.

  937. @7:25... Rotors look fine to me. No lip or scoring. I'd tell my customer that rotors aren't necessary yet and save them for the next brake job. @14:30... I do a lot of brake jobs on cars with Brembo fixed calipers. I bout a tool specifically for them. It looks like a duck bill. Works great. @18:25... clean the old pins with some Scotch-Brite. Lets the pads slide easier. With the hardware being wrong, I'd check the pads too. Make sure the wear pads are the same size. @21:30... I tell customers, if they bring their own parts, there's no warranties. @32:10... That was only Wendy's and they've backtracked on that. @35:00... It's a torque stick, but... Is it an electric specific torque stick? Traditional torque sticks are designed to work with air tools. They'll over torque with an electric. They started making electric specific torque sticks a few years ago.

  938. With rotors and pads now coming with break in coatings, according to EBC, no special break in procedures are required. Just stopping normally from over 35 mph a few times will bed them in. Break in procedures were required back when rotors and pads didn't come with coatings.

You're still young and you've managed to start your own place and have a great family. I spent so much time worrying about making money that I'm 49, single and no kids.

  959. I'm not a farmer, but I've been running heavy equipment for 22 years. I love running the new Cat loaders and dozers with all of the electronics. They make my job much easier. However, every place I've ever worked has always had one or two old Cat 980C loaders as back-ups for when the new ones break. Many times a new model will have a sensor go out and the machine will refuse to operate even though the sensor that's malfunctioning isn't critical to operations or safety. We have our own tech who repair mechanical issues like leaking hoses or broken bolts, but anything electronic requires us to wait for Cat to send a tech out to diag and repair the problem.

Slow and methodical, don't need the clutch, and first is a granny gear. They're great for having around to do DIY stuff at the house or if you drive to a construction site. However, If I'm pulling a load long distance, like hot-shotting or pulling a 5th wheel RV... I'll take a modern F450 Limited, please.

  963. Ha! Like I said in the previous video... Anything with "Dorman" stamped on it should immediately be suspect. They make the crappiest of the crappy parts. Don't get another Dorman, get an OEM. @10:00... That's from topping off. Tell the customer to stop doing that, or they're going to continue to have problems. @11:10... Because Dorman.

  964. @10:50... Quick note... It wasn't zero gravity they were worried about. It was the lack of oxygen. Rocket propellant contains it's own oxidizer. Black powder uses oxygen from the air. Now that we have Space Force, maybe we should revisit.

  965. That Subie motor, I'd plan on using a Heli-Coil. The dril bit will be oversized. It's going to take a minute to drill out that hardened extractor. If it was me, I'd strip the block down, have a machine shop do it, because they can make the hole straight, then rebuild (or performance build, depending on the customer) the engine.
    1
  966. @13:50... I use an Xacto knife. @24:50... It's good you like those. You're gonna have to adjust them to set the water seal at the top. Because the door is frameless, the seal at the top of the glass is pretty important. Gotta be adjusted to prevent leaks, but also not bind up. Also gonna have to relearn the stops on the motor.

  967. It frustrates me as a tech to see people buying vehicles that tax their budget to the point where they can't afford to maintain a vehicle. I always tell people, "When you're buying a vehicle and making a monthly budget, don't forget maintenance. Vehicle expenses aren't just your payment and insurance. There's also maintenance and gas (that's for the folks who never half more than 1/2 a tank)".

That allows all of the energy to go to the work, rather that shaking your hand. @25:55... Pretty sure it's pronounced "Ah-Vey". He's from French Canukistan.

  976. @1:26... Move that red parts truck and make that the dedicated Wife Unit parking spot, complete with "Wife Unit parking only" sign. The kid units and wife unit deserve covered parking. That's your spot now, isn't it? @5:00... A lot times they didn't even really discount the item. @10:00... The gasket groove is usually machined into the aluminum part. The only time I see a gasket in a cover (whether it be an oil pan or valve cover) is if it's aluminum or plastic. You never see a groove machined into a steel cover. Too expensive to manufacture. They'd just use a flat gasket. I wish all oil pans were like this. For a few extra dollars of manufacturing cost, manufacturers could prevent so many oil leaks and oil leak repair costs. Silicone is far more likely to leak than a rubber gasket.

  997. @7:50... They're to guide air that comes through the grill and spills down into the bumper moving through the condenser and radiator, instead of going around them. I like when you say, "come over here". When working in the shop, I say, "get over here" like Scorpion from Mortal Combat. Nobody gets it. I've found that when I can find the hole, just toss a little flour on it... What? 😁 You had to pull the grill off a 3rd time off camera for the upper headlight harness, didn't you? 😉

  998. The Liberty CRD is actually pretty cool.

  999. @3:00... Downstream connector on an upstream sensor, or just a downstream sensor in the wrong box. I've found that many times this is due to a customer purchasing, incorrectly re-boxing and returning. Folks at these parts stores don't ever check returned items. I've purchase new spark plugs only to bring them to the shop, open the box and find used plugs in the box. This goes back to that previous video you made about the quality of the employees working at parts stores.

  1017. @12:19... Is that a "Cherry Bomb" muffler? Haven't seen one of those in a minute. @13:45... They're not flexible because the orange one is heater hose and the black one is a universal radiator hose. Neither are meant for fuel. The exposure to fuel vapors has hardened them. If the customer's finances allow, I'd get the OE hoses, if they're still available. @26:00... Even if the directions are for GM, don't they still indicate which wire is which on the new unit? They don't say something like red is pump power, black is pump ground, etc...? I'd also pull up the wiring diagram on Alldata for the OE wiring. The level sender doesn't matter which wire is which. The level sensor is just a variable load inline on the circuit to ground. It's like an incandescent light bulb with a variable length filament. @42:53... Yep. If it only runs with a vacuum leak, it's rich. Stuck fuel injector? Bad MAF?

  1018. The early 2000's Infiniti's didn't age well. They're known for poor quality trim that falls apart, the finish comes off, etc... If you like the SHO, but think it's a bit soft or dated, drive a Fusion Sport. It's a baby SHO with an Ecoboost 2.7L V6 and AWD. Tommy says he doesn't like the SHO because it's not different enough from the standard Taurus. Perhaps he should re-read the title of the video... "Sleepers". While he's figuring out what a sleeper his, tell him to look up the term "Q-Ship". It what we older folks used to call sleepers. That SS is experiencing the AFM lifter failure. Just needs a delete package (cam, pushrods, lifters, rockers, tune) .

  1019. Case, the Corvette is no worse built that any other car of the era. It may have only 47k miles, but plastic doesn't care about mileage. Age and UV exposure matters more. Most 80's cars that weren't stored inside have brittle plastics. Your Vette is actually in pretty good shape. Most have torn up driver's seats and the red has faded to almost pink.

A social worker would have asked her if she takes medication for any mental health issues and would have asked if she's been taking her meds. She should be taken to a hospital, not jail. That doesn't mean she shouldn't be charged with arson, it just means that she'd get treatment for her issues while waiting to be tried. Obviously, arresting her isn't working as she had just been arrested the week before.

If you put it in th groove, it could take up valuable real estate that the rubber needs. I never put RTV on rubber because until it dries, it acts like a lubricant. It's the same as leaving the mating surface oily. @25:30... Since I'm there, I'd replace the pick-up o-ring. @30:00... Seriously, Ray... Put down the camera.

  1032. Get yourself a crank pulley installer. If you don't get it off the truck, they can be had fairly cheap. You never really want to pull the pulley on with the bolt. The potential to damage the threads in the crank is real. If that happens, you'll be dropping the crank. In 30 years, I've only seen it happen twice, but those two guys were hating life and their checks for those weeks sucked.

That's why the regular techs and master techs at my Nissan dealership hated doing oil changes. 0.3 hours. We always tried to find a warranty issue with the car so we could at least make something on the job. Every oil change I did too 0.5, so I lost 0.2 on the job. We'd say, "give it to the lube techs" and the response was always, "They're backed up, I could really use your help knocking out a few oil changes. Just knock them out, don't upsell them, we need to get caught up". So glad I left the dealership. @27:00... You need a remote drain plug removal tool. It's magnetic and looks like a flexible drum brake spring tool. I got one. No more oily hands.

  1057. I have a Breville Hemisphere that's a few years old. It came with a container that disassembles for cleaning. It started leaking after a couple moths of using about once a week. Breville found this to be a problem and redesigned the container to be a one piece design. I bought the new one piece (Breville refused to accept there was a design flaw and replace it for free). I prefer the one piece. I have no problems cleaning it and I no longer worry about leaks. IMO, the one piece is a better design.

  1059. When shopping classics, it's ALWAYS cheaper to buy a sorted car. Buying a project is never going to save money. Buying a project is about the enjoyment of fixing it up yourself with the parts you want. BTW, the reason why 4 cylinders don't sound like that any more... The large majority of drivers view a car as an appliance. They want it quiet, easy to drive and low maintenance. Not only do engines not sound good any more, manual transmissions are almost dead, and cars are no longer designed to allow easy DIY maintenance.

  1067. Another point you didn't address is the fact that Hydrogen LOVES to bond with other elements and as such, s=does not occur alone anywhere in nature. We therefore have to manufacture Hydrogen by separating it out of a molecule. This requires energy that may come from a renewable source, or may not. This adds to the carbon footprint of Hydrogen, making it less clean.

  1079. Regarding the fuel tank... that same thing happened to me. It's because these wrecking yards employ folks too stupid to be technicians. I also bought a used motor from a yard and told them I need the harness as well due to the plugs all crumbling on the harness I had. The sent the motor with the harness still attached, but it was cut where it goes through the firewall. When I called, they told me, "we sent as much of the harness as possible". Apparently, it's not possible to unplug the 2 plugs from the ECM and feed them through the firewall. I sent the whole thing back.

  1080. @10:30... are you sending the other set back? I was kinda pissed of for you when I saw the condition those other seats were in. @17:00... If you tighten those in the air, when you set it back down on the tires, loosen and retighten them. You don't want to preload those bushings by tightening them with the axle drooped. @33:00... I bet the float is stuck open. The float should stop the fuel flowing when the bowl is full. If it doesn't it just keeps filling.

Does this truck have two trans coolers, one air/water and one air/air? Where do the trans lines out of that air/water cooler go? To the radiator or to an external air/air cooler? Wonder why there's two. Maybe tow package? @13:50... I'd install the cleaner and run it with the old filter. As the cleaner circulates and any dirt, debris or contaminants will get caught by the old filter. I'd then remove the pan, change the filter and refill with cheap store brand fluid. Run it for 15 minutes again, then do the exchange. @20:30... Yeah, I always use the OEM gasket. I've NEVER used a rubber gasket. They go straight in the round file.

First, If the body shop doesn't fix it the owner might not and this rolling death trap will end up right back on the street with your wife in her minivan. Second, you can't really do an alignment with a steering wheel that isn't bolted on. How do you set the "steer ahead" and the toe? @32:35... Sounds like the right steering knuckle or strut is bent, or the subframe shifted to the right. Might need to loosen the mounting bolts and move it left with a big pry bar. Time for and insurance claim addendum. Mo' money.

  1096. If you service the trans every 30k miles and use genuine Nissan NS-2 or NS-3 fluid, these transmissions seem to do just fine. However, when neglected, they hive a high failure rate. They also don't like high temps, or sure. Nissan told us here in Vegas that we, along with Phoenix had a higher than average failure rate which resulted in Nissan issuing a TSB to add an oil cooler on early CVT's. They also sent us new dipsticks with a lower fluid level. @9:00... Regarding the color... New NS-2 is green. New NS-3 is blue. @10:20... Change to fluid and the filter. The filter is a canister filter on the side of the trans, not in the pan. @16:55... Not silicone. There's a metal gasket. @20:00... That fluid does look like it was replaced recently. Also there's supposed to be a fill level tube that screws into the drain hole with a 5mm Allen. It's missing, which leads me to believe a lazy tech removed it, failed to reinstall it and just dumped 4 quarts down the fill tube. You're supposed to reinstall the fill level tube after draining, fill until some spills out, reinstall the drain plug and run the engine until the trans come up to operating temp (monitoring with the scan tool), remove the drain plug and let the excess run out until it slows to a drip. Reinstall the plug with a new washer and you're done. @23:28... The reason why the writer added "loud noise" and P0776 to the RO is because there's a TSB to remove the pan and valve body and inspect the CVT belt. If it looks worn, replace the trans. If it's not worn, replace the valve body. All dealerships have both honest and shady writers/techs. I was honest, which is why I ended up quitting after 4 years and opened my own place. Seems to be a typical pattern for honest techs. @27:50... Yeah, they did a pad slap. I NEVER did pad slaps at the dealership. It's so easy to turn the rotors, I don't get not doing it. @34:50...Check when the code were cleared. Bet it's been a lot longer than 2 weeks ago. That code was never there. Like I said, the writer and tech invented that code because of the TSB.

  1098. I'd invest in some dust boots to protect the shaft of those upside down shocks on the rear. They'll get pitted and tear up the seal if you don't cover them up. Your shop doesn't have one 10k lift for trucks? What about your 4-post alignment rack? It's not 10k? BTW, OSHA doesn't need a warrant. I really like your truck, even though I'm an F-450 guy. If your front brakes are getting hot, you might want to increase the gain on your trailer brake controller. When doing the front shocks, I find it easier to install the bottom first.

This is why I use dish soap and water. The dish soap is slippery for a bit and dries sticky. They also make a lube specifically for installing tight hoses. I used to have some, but it was expensive.

Police departments all over the country have stopped investigating property crimes because even though people FEEL like they're the victims, the police view the insurance companies as the real victims. As long as the insurance companies keep paying claims and just raising our rates, the police aren't going to use their limited resources to investigate these crimes. Especially when there's unsolved murders, rapes, and assaults to be investigated. It's going to take the insurance lobby groups pressuring local government to stop these crimes. But, that won't happen as long as they can just raise our rates.

I actually got a letter from the NV DMV one year telling me that I had to prove to them I wasn't a dealer operating without a license because I had sold so many cars in a year.

  1130. Why not just run the engine at one fixed rpm all the time? When the engine starts, have it run at 1500 rpm until the oil and coolant warm up, then have it throttle up to 4500 rpm all the time. It's not running the wheels, so it's rpm never needs to change. Just design the engine ports for 4500 rpm. This eliminates all of the extra complexities.

  1133. On the F150... Are the transmission bolts missing above the starter? Are there more bolts missing? Looks like the trans shifted sideways. Notice the exhaust pipe is shifted sideways? Also, the bolts for the trans mount to passenger's side frame rail are missing. When the trans torqued sideways, the starter hit the block and broke the trans case as well as the starter mounting tabs off the starter. The driveshaft was then at an unnatural angle, which broke the U-joint mount. Looks like your shop might be filing an insurance claim on this one.

  1164. When you use the detector in a vent, turn the fan on low, temp to cold, but with the A/C off. Cold air can trigger a false positive. Any refrigerant that's in the evaporator box will still be blown across the detector. With the high pressure dropping from 400 to 200 with the addition of your swamp cooler, I'm going with fan clutch as the main culprit for under performance after the charge.

  1168. Okay, so here's my opinion as a professional tech... I always go the extra mile for customers because it keeps them coming back. My only grumble is that because my service writer's pay was based on surveys, they would take credit for the extra work. They say things like, "I had my tech go ahead and do [the extra thing] for you". Or, "I noticed this and made sure they took care of it for you". I can understand the lower paid guys being upset about it. I was one of the highest paid guys in the shop. I will say that there isn't a single job in the shop that shop pay less than 0.5 hrs.

  1182. I live in Las Vegas. You absolutely CANNOT buy La shrimp here. ALL of the shrimp sold here is from Asia. The solution isn't for American shrimpers to work for poverty wages to compete with Asia. The solution is for Americans to give a shit about where the stuff they buy comes from. I refuse to buy Asian shrimp, so I just go without. Most of the problem is that the middle men make all the money. These shrimpers need to form a co-op, buy a processor and process their own shrimp. Then sell it at a premium as "premium wild caught La shrimp". If I could buy La shrimp, I'd pay extra for it. But, like I said... The biggest problem is that Americans in general don't care where anything they buy comes from, as long as it's cheap.

The second gen was a lot stiffer because it was built as a convertible by Toyota. Price depends on where you are. Here in the SW/West coast, nice ones are $9k-ish. $7k gets you a high mileage car and $5k gets you an absolute beater.

  1197. @22:55... When are you gonna get a vacuum filler for coolant? They're cheap and it's so nice not having to burp the coolant or let the vehicle warm up before I ship it. @23:16... No, dye isn't the only difference. P-HOAT, HOAT and OAT coolants have different chemical compounds. Most Chryslers use P-HOAT, which is pink. "Universal" means it's good enough not to cause immediate catastrophic damage. Doesn't mean it's the proper fluid. Same goes for transmission and power steering fluids.
    1
  1198.  @coolantkid3428  you, sir, are ignorant. Just cause Prestone says it is, doesn't make it so. Coolant exists in different formulations for a reason. I'd think with your screen name, you'd know there's OAT, HOAT and P-HOAT coolants and that they shouldn't be used in applications they're not designed for. Prestone universal is an OAT coolant. You can use it however you want, but I'll never use it in a car that asks for HOAT or P-HOAT.
    1
  1199.  @coolantkid3428  Great. I'm gonna keep using the factory recommended formulations. As a former dealer tech, I can tell you if a car comes it with a blown head gasket or overheating and it has universal coolant in it, it's not getting covered by warranty.

  1201. @6:30... To me that just means a 10% tariff on clothes isn't enough. Maybe it needs to be 100%. Yes, it is inflationary, but if the LONG term result is higher wages for Americans because manufacturing always pays more than flipping burgers, I'm okay with it. Higher prices are fine as long as they come with higher wages. What we're seeing NOW is higher prices due to higher profit margins without the increased wages. Most of the new jobs being created are in the minimum wage service sector. @9:00... You SHOULD spend the $500 on the Kirby. The yearly cost to own it is FAR less than the $150 Chinese Walmart vacuum. That Kirby will last 30 years because when it breaks, you can repair it. That Walmart vacuum will break in 2 to 5 years and it's not repairable. You trash it and buy another. This also creates more waste. Buying the Kirby for $500 is BY FAR the better deal. The problem is that American consumers used to read Consumer Reports, or do other research to buy the best value. Americans can't afford to do that any more. They now buy the cheapest they can get because it's all they can afford. Why? Because all of the good jobs have left and been outsourced to other countries. To bring back the post war economy of the 50's, you have to bring back the post war manufacturing jobs.

  1202. @9:30... Lead replacement clamps... Garbage. I put them right in the round file. Normal procedure for removing the cooling pkg on a PT Cruiser is to pull the core support.

If you want fewer parking lots and fewer cars on the road, you have to be willing to pay higher taxes for public transit.

I've had shady writers that get paid commission sell unnecessary work. If you ever lose which wire is which, just refer to the wiring diagram. Those 4 wire sensors are all the same. The 2 whites are heater (polarity doesn't matter), black is signal and grey is ground.

  1243. My estimate would look like this.... "Cigarette lighter works. Repair everything else". I get that not everyone has a lot of money, but if you can't afford the most basic and crucial maintenance on a vehicle, invest in a bus pass. IMO, this Jeep is only 2wd, so it's not worth saving. Tell the customer to scrap it at the pic a part for $500 and start over with a different Jeep. Better option than spending $3k to $4k to fix this fully. For $5k they can get a GC in much better shape than this one.

  1247. The customer probably went to a "quick lube" type shop for an oil change and was told they needed valve cover gaskets. If they asked to see the leak, the tech would've squirted some oil on the back of the head. Then, they'd clean it off and charge for a job they didn't do. @27:50... Go to a Walgreens or CVS and buy alcohol pads from the bandages section. I use those alcohol pads to wipe down where I intend to use RTV. It removes any oil film. Better than using brake clean. @37:55... I would've sprayed it down with brake clean before installing the spark plug tube seals.

I've noticed that OEM parts made in China seem to be much better quality than aftermarket Chinese parts. I think it's just that the Chinese manufacturers know that the OEM's will penalize them for bad quality where as the aftermarket sellers, like your local parts stores, won't.

  1261. Yes, tariffs will raise prices. That's kind of the point. The goal is to raise prices to a point where it costs less to manufacture in the US than overseas. This will bring manufacturing back to the US and raise the median household income because manufacturing jobs pay better than the "service industry" jobs people are currently doing. The reason why we're targeting Canada and Mexico is to specifically bring automobile manufacturing jobs back to the US. These jobs left the US when NAFTA became law. The goal is to repair the damage done by NAFTA.

I'd put a noid light on it and have someone crank it while I watch the light. You can also test/clean the injector by sliding a rubber hose over the end and filling it with carb/choke cleaner and then cycle the injector with a 9V battery or a 12V car battery, if you have one laying around.

Just in feel alone, it was worth the $2k I spent on them (in 2001 money). For brake fluid, I used Motul RBF 600. It was the best available at the time. I now used RBF 660. I also had sticky 275's all around. BTW, I also had a 2008 GT/CS. Bought it because of the unique front and rear bumpers. Yours look similar.

  1279. If it's set up correctly, you'll never have a spring go flying using a Branick 7600. Just for educational purposes... The mosquitoes that bite you are all she's. The males don't bite. I always leave the car running when I do an alignment. Makes turning the wheel easier.

  1282. Want me to tell you what happened? The complex filed a claim with their insurance and was denied due to negligence. A drop box secured to the outside of a building is NOT secure. Their claim would have been honored if they had a mail slot that led to a box INSIDE the building. That would be considered secure. When the claim got denied, they figured, "well we're not going to eat the loss. We'll just pass it along to the renters who will have little recourse to fight us and our law firm". I hope the tenants won and the entire staff got shit-canned.

  1283. These are also great with the TDI. Looks like someone replaced the coolant reservoir and either didn't refill it or that wasn't the leak they were looking for. You never really addressed the reliability issue. There's a reason these are cheap. Never buy a German car out of warranty unless you have some savings or a credit card with no balance.

  1285. Either convert or replace the gas generator with propane. It's VERY easy to store propane for a long time, unlike gasoline that evaporates and turns to varnish. Plus, if there's a power outage, gas pumps don't work. Propane facilities store propane under pressure and don't need power to fill a tank.

  1286. @10:00... Fuel smell is common in all direct injection engines. DI is great for emissions, but horrible for longevity. The oil gets full of fuel and the intake valves get carboned up. @21:30... Not ALL makes. I'm a Nisan Master Tech. Nissan oil level must be checked after the car has been sitting for 30 minutes. This is from Nissan. This came about due to the way the dipstick is in the VQ series of engines. @22:30... That's cool. Nissan's don't have that feature. It's cool that Toyota thought to program a "service position" into the BCM. @27:00... Been working on cars for 35 years. I'm actually diagnosed with a "bad back". Been told I may need surgery soon. It's bad enough that I won't work on a car without a lift. I'm 6' 3" and need to raise a car up a foot or so just so I don't have to bend over the engine. @31:30... That stuff should be caught during PDI. The problem is that many dealers now have non-techs doing PDI's. Lot porters, lube techs, etc... People that don't have the knowledge or skill to fix these issues, but that the dealership pay 1/2 what they pay their techs. This means the dealer pockets more of that PDI money.

  1290. If it's a 4.0L Nissan with a p0420 or p0430, it probably needs cats. They're notorious for going bad. I've replaced hundreds. @5:30... I have an RC plane battery charger that I use to "jump start" batteries when I get the flashing red light of death. I use very low current to slowly put a little charge in. Just enough for the Snap-On charger to work. @7:26... Probably not a heater core leak. That's very rare. However, that plastic fitting is notorious for snapping off. Just needs new heater hoses. @9:40... Those will only fix it for about 1000 miles. Nissan ECM's do not like aftermarket cats. Can't tell you haw many angry customers we had at Nissan with P0420 or P0430 codes that just had new aftermarket cats welded in by a muffler shop. Gotta use the expensive Nissan cats. @11:50... I always support the trans and remove the crossmember. Much more room to work. @27:10... ED-209 stuff, "You have 20 seconds to comply". @50:30... Nah. I'd toss it on the passenger's seat.

  1291. Can't believe you haven't mentioned The Smiths, "How Soon is Now". Many people, including many in Hollywood, think the lyric is "I am the sun and the air" and associate the song with Wiccan. It has been used on the soundtrack of The Craft an as the theme song for Charmed. The song is actually about a guy so overcome with shyness that he can't find a partner.

  1302. Put a leak down tester on it and you can hear an exhaust leak at the tailpipe. Using the flow measurement on the smoke machine isn't a good indicator. All engines have some leakage and a smoke machine is designed to look for very small leaks. Do you not have a leak down tester?

  1303. Nobody is "liable". Old, dry plastic breaks. S*** happens. If the broken part was functional and couldn't be fixed, then liability would have to be discussed. Since the broken part was able to be functionally repaired, liability isn't even an issue.

  1305. @18:30... Might work on this older vehicle. They don't work well on newer cars. Can't count how many times I've had cars come in with a P0430 or P0420 with a new aftermarket cat. @25:40... Ray, shielding gas is cheap. That welder I'm sure has the ability to use shielding gas. It'll improve your welds drastically. Being a perfectionist, I'd tack the cat in place, then remove the Y-pipe from the truck to get a good weld all the way around. Also, clean your metals before welding. 85% of a good weld is shielding gas, settings and surface prep. The act of welding is very easy. @53:39... So, next video, RF wheel speed sensor and a blower motor resistor. Curious if you're gonna try swapping the left and right sensors to verify the bad sensor vs a module error (unless it's one of those integrated sensor bearings).

  1310. @3:44... "We'll figure it out", because instructions are for losers. @24:10... That's what she said? @32:25... It fits just fine, if you put the camera down and use two hands. Just sayin'. You need to use your camera mounts more and the handheld less. It won't reduce the quality of your videos and will make doing the work much easier. @34:30... Just cut off the unthreaded tip of the bolt. Much cleaner looking than using washers.

When I was a BLM Firefighter, we had Vietnam era MRE's. They were similar to modern MRE's, but didn't come with chemical heaters. Often, we were able to heat our food on smoldering trees.

  1313. @23:00... Most master's don't have a bleeder valve. They come with the bleeder fittings and usually some hose. This one has the bleeder valve, so it just comes with plugs (those yellow caps aren't plugs. They'd just blow out). Also, I hope you never think I'm calling you a piece of crap when I make suggestions. Just using my own 30 years of experience to offer another way that might be easier. Obviously your ways aren't wrong because they work.

  1314. As a former Nissan tech... P0744 means check the coolant reservoir for trans fluid. I know you know that, this is for your viewers. Usually it means replace the trans and radiator. Edit: Surprised you didn't check the reservoir for an oil slick on the surface of the coolant.

  1324. Only thing I would've done differently would've been to pack some rags in the water jacket. I can see aluminum chips flying in there. Be sure to get them out so they don't end up in the pump. @23:19... A good way to deal with gouges in a gasket mating surface is to mix up a little JB Weld and use it like Bondo. Fill the gouges, smooth it out, let it dry, then use a fine grit wheel to finish it.

  1326. @13:30... My Supercharged S JCW convertible is an R52. If you can find a first gen S with the pretty rare JCW package, it makes 207HP. The JCW package is rare because back then, it was a dealer installed option and cost over $5k with installation. $5k for an option on a $25k car was a lot, so not many people bought it. Oh, I bought it a year ago with 92k miles for $5k. The bargains are found in the private market.

  1333. Cordless tools are cool, but a cordless 3" cutoff tool doesn't make sense to me. The large head of the tool makes it so you throw away blades with 2" left. The air tool's smaller head lets you use more of the blade. @11:45, Ah, yes... The legendary "flag nut", aka, "finger mangler". @14:50... Of course the bolt's too long. These cheap aftermarket parts makers don't actually test fit their products on the vehicle, because they do zero R&D. They let the high priced makers do the R&D and then they purchase a high priced part and send it off to some low cost manufacturer to reproduce. The low cost manufacturer doesn't understand that the bolt length of the high priced part is important and they substitute whatever they have laying around. Long story short, your customer got what they paid for. "Pypes" is a cheap brand. Should've bought a Borla. It fits correctly. You're worried about scratching it, but it's pre-dented from the factory. Again, cheap parts. This whole video is just stressing me out. I couldn't deal with watching you fight this crap. God, I hate cheap parts.

  1336. I've mentioned in Brenden's video that I drive a 2005 (last year of the supercharger) Cooper S convertible with a stick shift and the very rare Cooper Works package (rare cause it was $6k). It's quick, but not fast. The normal S make around 180hp, mine is 207, stock. Mine probably makes a little more since it has an aluminum overdrive crank pulley that's bumping my boost up just a tiny bit over the normal JCW boost level (which is already higher than a normal S due to the smaller supercharger pulley). Only things I've done to it are normal maintenance, a short shifter and a larger Be Cool brand radiator (I'm in Vegas). I'm currently disabled and living off Social Security, so I just do maintenance. After I get a kidney transplant and go back to work, I'll get a second car as a daily driver and will start tearing into this to make it a real pocket rocket.

  1338. A lot of new remans come programmed. You can use your scan tool to write the VIN. You must be careful though because the VIN can only be written once. Some new vehicles, when you install a new ECM, the ECM will actually query another module and copy the VIN automatically.

The only part that was designed by Jag was the engine. Even the trans was Ford. @2:45... The 3.9 V8 makes 250 HP in 2002. That's great when you consider the 4.6 in the Mustang GT only made 10 more hp. In 2003, when it got bumped to 280, it made 20 MORE hp than a Mustang GT. By today's standards, it might not be very impressive, but in the context of the year, it is. @9:20... Good. Your phone should be in your pocket when your driving. @10:00... Guys, it's got 173k miles on it. Probably just needs plugs. BTW, the one to have is the rare "LSE". They only made about 1500 of them.

  1372. When it comes to failure modes... It's much better to have a failure of the ratchet mechanism or drive than the handle. The guts are usually easily replaceable, whereas the handles breaking means you need a whole new tool. When it comes to the tool truck brands, it doesn't really matter as they ass have lifetime warranties and the store comes to you. Some of the others might also have a lifetime warranty, but I'm not sure which. I'd suggest you mention the warranty lengths in your hand tool reviews.

  1375. @10:30... Pull those little covers off to paint. It'll look better. I never really understood spending money on a pedal monster. It costs almost as much as a tuner, that not only changes throttle mapping, but also changes fueling and timing. Sure, it allows changing on the fly, but why do you need to do that? Once you fix the tuning so that the throttle is mapped 1:1 (most factory tunes are lazy, meaning they open the throttle less than what you ask for), if you want more throttle, you just give it more throttle. BTW, I like Banks products. Had his intake, exhaust and tuner on my 4.0L Wrangler. @36:32... "Fries are done"! @39:15... Yes, there's a long 6mm x 1.0 Phillips head machine screw that goes through that hole and engages the threads. Don't you have a "bolt bin"? Every shop has a bolt bin with random bolts.

  1377. So, if it's a law, who enforces it? Your story leaves more questions than answers. Seems like the story's intention is to stir people up and anger them rather than to inform. I miss the news before it was run by the station's marketing dept.

  1378. So, here's the thing... Dealer techs don't do much diag because they don't get paid for it. When you're out of warranty and the dealership charges you a diag fee, the tech rarely gets any of that unless they charge you for a specific amount of time. Sometimes I'd get diag time for warranty work, but very little. If it was my own shop, I'd be fine with that, but when the dealership charges a customer for "diag" and doesn't want to pay the tech, you get guessing and parts cannon diag instead of real diag. The only time I got customer pay diag was when I told the writer, "I'm gonna need two hours on this" and he got approval from the customer. Usually electrical diag.

  1379. If Ghostbusters had been written as a sequel with an all-female team being trained by the originals to replace them, it would have done great. Instead, they told Gen-X Ghostbusters fans like myself, "we don't care what you want", and we voted with our wallets. I still haven't seen it. Hint to Hollywood producers... When you leak a storyline to get reactions before you start filming, and the overwhelming response is, "Hell no", don't make it anyways.

Looks like someone use bulk heater hose and some worm gear clamps. That's a recipe for a leak and it looks like one is already starting. Get the OEM preformed hoses and spring clamps. They won't leak for years. @11:00... I'd replace the oil pan now. It's easier to do with the flex plate off. I also usually take this opportunity to replace the pilot bushing.

  1390. I never machine rotors any more. Most OEM's are making rotors thinner to reduce weight. Brand new rotors are barely thicker than the minimum thickness. I think they're also using cheaper steel because they seem to warp easier after machining. I got tired of cars coming back with warped rotors 6 or 7 months after doing brakes. I offer a 12 month warranty, so I only do new rotors now. Nooooo!!! 3 clicks on one side and 4 on the other. My OCD is on fire!

  1401. "Delivering value for shareholders". This one phrase has single handedly destroyed the idea of customer service. EVERY business now hires the cheapest labor, rather than the best labor. I bought 8 spark plugs and when I opened them, they were all used. I don't mean a little dirty, I mean these had at least 100k miles on them. Someone bought the plugs, swapped the new for their old and then returned them. The kids these stores hire are either too stupid or too lazy to open the boxes and make sure the item being returned is in the box. You don't blame the "reputable" chain store, but I do. They choose to hire unskilled labor at minimum wage.

  1411. I have a love/hate relationship with these kinds of jobs. I love not having to diagnose but hate when it comes back or doesn't get fixed and the customer wants to blame me. "I did what you told me to and swapped the part", to which they respond, "Well you should have known that wouldn't fix it a told me". Also, I'd use a vacuum to clean the valley, rather than a blower. Reason being, sometimes stuff falls in the runners when you remove the manifold. When you blow out the runners, you're blowing stuff into the motor on any runner that has an open intake valve.

  1412. These Euro cars don't like low voltage. The gearbox fault is almost certainly due to low voltage. I'd replace the alternator and clear the codes. Porsche's are notorious for this, especially Cayenne's with the under seat battery and trunk battery. That being said, I respect your decision to refuse the job. Trying to convince the service writer to refuse the job was probably about as easy as that Subaru A/C compressor.

  1418. These rental services want to be able to charge for the "service" of connecting renters with people who have cars but want to claim no responsibility for the actual transaction. It's a brilliant business model. You get to charge for a service, but when something goes wrong you get to say, "not our problem, it's between the renter and the car owner". The reason why she couldn't get anyone to help her is because the people running the service are probably a third party call/response center in India. The people who own Getaround are probably just collecting monthly checks and have no involvement in running the company.

  1426. The last "cheap Jeep" was the old Islander with the 4 banger and manual trans. For $4500, you should have sucked it up and gone with the manual. I mean, "it feels a little rubbery" is worth saving $4500 on a build that's entire existence is based on being cheap. I'd trade the auto trans for a manual and use the money for power windows and locks.

  1428. @5:50... A lot of times, when cars fall, it's not because of a collapse. It's because people disable the arm locks to make it easier to swing the arms under a car. This means when the car is is the air, the arms can swing out from under the car. Seen it happen. Dealership I was at, the service manager came out into the shop one day and fired 3 techs for having their arm locks disabled (we had 20 techs). @7:29... That's why I drain the filter housing before removing it. @10:15... My favorite part of any of your videos is the caveman, "Brake clean empty!" moment. As an aside...

I remember going to a Chevy dealer to test drive a brand new '91 Camaro with a 5.0 and a stick. Salesman told me I probably wouldn't be able to test drive it because it had a stick. I had to show him the car I drove there was a stick to prove I could drive it.

  1436. Clunker. Doesn't mean it's trash through. Clunkers have their place. I have an '87 Hardbody truck that my mother bought new. It has 465k miles on it. It's needs a motor. I'll never sell it. First thing you need to do is test drive it. There may be issues a tech will find on the test drive that the owner doesn't even have listed. I'd say this is a car you replace the weatherstripping to make it water tight, change the oil every 3k and just drive it until it dies.

People buy these expensive cars for cheap because they don't realize that an expensive car is expensive to maintain no matter what you bought it for.

  1444. I've got an '87 that looks identical. Maroon SE-V6 with a 5 speed manual and a maroon interior. Mine has 460k miles though. Engine's all original, never been rebuilt. Valve covers and oil pan have never been off. Had it since new. Done the timing belt twice, clutch 3 times. The thing I like the most... Gauges. It has actual gauges for oil pressure, volts, coolant temp, and fuel. The fuel gauge is actually two gauges. It has one for 1/4 to full and has another gauge just for the last 1/4 tank.

  1454. So, this is why I consult AllData (or similar) before doing any job that involves breaking open an engine. Ford 4 cylinders have been like this for many years. You didn't mention it, but on the back side of the engine, there's a plug that needs to be unscrewed after the engine is turned to #1 TDC. Then a special tool is screwed in to lock the crankshaft in position. Then you can unbolt the crank pulley. After removing the timing cover, but before slacking the tensioner, install the cam locks. Keep in mind, this design is also used on other brands that use Ford engines, like Mazda and Volvo.

  1465. I've heard (possibly incorrect) that they're grandfathering the Beta users at $99 a month once speeds improve and prices inevitably increase. BTW, I just heard you say prices may go down. That's possible if Starlink stays private. If the IPO goes through though, prices will go up because shareholders demand "profit growth" quarterly. I personally hate when companies go public. Most shareholders know absolutely nothing about the companies they invest in. They just wanna see the price go up. This drives increases in prices and decreases in quality.

You can have videos, pictures, O-Scope readings an tea leaves saying the problem is "X" and some guy behind a laptop, on the phone tells you to replace "Y" instead. I've actually turned away a customer because the warranty company only wanted to pay me a discount rate to replace a part that wasn't going to fix the problem. I hate doing that, but for $65/hr, that barely covers my overhead and the customer was going to be unhappy either way.

They were the factory tires and less than 80k miles. This truck looks like it just needs about $2k in body work and paint (and a console lid) to be perfect. BTW, @8:18, you'll see a feature you never see any more... A recorder to record notes to yourself.

  1471. I don't get it... Wasn't the customer told the day before that it needed an engine? Or, did the service advisor not tell them that so they wouldn't get a bad review (happens a lot at the dealership)? If they were told it needs an engine I don't get why they would bring it back unless they're writing a check for a new engine. They need to trade this thing in today and hope the dealership doesn't look in the radiator.

  1472. You know why GM doesn't want you to solder the injector connector on the Duramax you just did? Soldering has a higher resistance than a properly crimped butt connector. Also, soldering turns that section of wire into a solid core wire which can vibrate and crack in the automotive environment. I always butt connect harnesses. The only thing I solder is large cables, like starter or battery cables but even then, I solder after I crimp. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! 😁

  1480. I first saw this back in 2002 while trying to tune a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon. Even though it had a mechanical throttle body, it kept hanging during shifts. Seems Hyundai realized they needed a way to hang the revs to improve emissions without re-engineering the entire engine control system. They're solution was a large idle air control motor that would activate to send air around the throttle body when it was closed quickly. The solution to the rev hang was to eliminate the IAC motor and drill a tiny hole in the throttle plate to allow enough air for the engine to idle.

  1481. We purchased a '16 Mazda Miata bio car from Copart. The owner bought the car, put 13,000 miles on it, then decided to end it all. He put a 20ga. loaded with birdshot in his mouth and pulled the trigger... With the top up. We had a biohazard company clean the car, but either cleaning wasn't enough, or the company we hired sucked. I used to be an EMT, so I know what decomp smells like. We ended up buying a wrecked '16 Miata and swapped the ENTIRE interior. I also scrubbed and sanitized the bare metal while the interior was out. We also swapped the top (lots of tiny holes). Ended up selling the car for a small profit, but a lot less than we planned on. We thought we'd be able to clean the car, didn't really budget for swapping the entire interior. Yes, we did disclose the history to the buyer. In fact, the history was one of the reasons he wanted it... I know, morbid and a bit creepy, but whatever.

Also, most have been modified or beat to hell. If you can find a real clean Type-S with a stick and low miles, buy it (if it's priced reasonably). I see this auction has a reserve. $10 to a charity says it doesn't meet the reserve. People with older Hondas think they're worth a lot.

  1488. A rebuild with issues... Couldn't possibly be a Jasper, could it? Because reasons. For the viewers... When a shop does warranty work on one of these rebuilds, not only do they decide what you can fix, they also dictate the labor rate, which is often about 1/ of what I normally charge. Today I'm doing chains/water pump on a FWD Ford 3.7.

  1493. To prevent the filter housing messiness, I find it's worth the extra few seconds to drain the housing first by removing the cap on the bottom. Although I did actually LOL when you used damn near an entire can of brake clean to clean the mess. @24:52... Negative camber causes wear on the inside, not outside. I assume you just mis-spoke. Looks to me like a combination of low tire pressure, aggressive driving. Main reason for doing tires before doing an alignment is that the machine infers suspension position by measuring wheel position. It doesn't really measure the suspension. Tire wear greatly affects wheel position.

  1502. The PT Cruiser GT is a nice platform to start with. It's just a few bolt-on's away from SRT4 power. For about a grand (and some labor), you can have a convertible 300 hp car. Sounds like that particular car's got a bad turbo. Common failure, easy fix, great opportunity to upgrade the turbo. The only early '00's SUV I'd own over the Escalade is the Trailblazer SS. In fact, I had an '06 TBSS (until someone stole it). I would never drive a Prius of that age, but I'd totally drive a CT2000h. The best difference is the gauges. The CT200h has them where they're supposed to be, in front of the driver.

  1510. May be better from an engineering standpoint, but not from a consumer standpoint. A turbo would make more power and not require premium fuel, which here in Vegas, costs 30 to 40 cents more per gallon than regular. Also, factory turbo cars are cheaper and easier to modify.

  1519. If the energy production corporations invest profits in their infrastructure instead of stock buybacks, dividends and bonuses, we can meet the goals. Also, Sen Massie says he has solar panels. Well, if he has enough panels, his EV is placing NO additional burden on the grid. Especially if he has a battery bank, like a Tesla Powerwall. His panels charge the battery bank during the day, while he works and then transfer that stored energy to his car at night, while it's plugged in. Perhaps the answer is Federal tax credits to get people to install solar panels on their homes. Then, the grid will need minimal improvement.

They'd charge the customer for a Nissan filter but the parts manager decided to make a few extra bucks for the parts department but giving us cheaper filters to put on the car. I always refused the cheap filter and insisted on a Nissan filter. He didn't like me.

Apparently, there's also a monthly subscription for the resets and Shop Key data. I'm retired now and only use my scanner once or twice a month, so it's not worth it to pay for a monthly service. @19:37... I like the Deere controls. Everything is on your hands. No pedals.

  1539. Most likely not a lack of training. Probably laziness. I've seen it. Some techs don't want to invest any time in diag. They just want to swap parts. Diag doesn't pat very well. One of the reasons I left the dealership was that my dispatcher was giving me all of the time consuming diag jobs because the other techs kept "no problem found"ing them. Instead of pushing back and telling the techs to figure it out, he'd give them something else and pass it over to me. I went to work on a Saturday and told him, "I'm tired of your bullshit. Today's my last day". He was pissed.

It costs almost as much to machine rotors as it costs to buy new ones. I always just replace them now. Back in the day, when rotors had the bearing built in, the labor to replace the bearings made replacing rotors more expensive than machining. With most newer cars having one piece hubs now, that's no longer an issue. @14:35... The ONE problem I have with parts stores. About 20% of the time, I get the wrong stuff. Those look like V6 pads.

I don't know why so many people complained about the cheat tune VW had on there. My car was advertised at 39 mpg highway. I regularly saw 52 mpg on the highway. I ended up trading it in after only 27 days and 700 miles because every tuner said it would be at least a year for them to crack it. I didn't want to wait. Bought a Leaf instead, since I worked for Nissan and could charge at work for free.

Not sure what brand these are. but they're probably Whiteline knock-offs. My shop specialized in high HP Nissans. We also used a c-clamp ball joint press and some large all-thread to develop a press tool for the job. This was back in, I believe 2008. My 2006 350Z got the second one sent to the US. The first one went in my friends car. When I worked at Nissan, we had to replace the entire rear subframe because Nissan doesn't make replacement bushings.

  1558. If you can access it, MMR is the best valuation tool. It's more accurate in volatile markets. KBB, JD Power, Edmunds and the like all lag because publishing takes time. Even though they have websites, the websites aren't updated any more frequently than the publications. Right now, a lot of cars are still going unsold a dealer auctions because the selling dealers are upside down in the cars. Eventually, they're going to just have to take the loss and sell. By 2024, this should have used retail values back where they should be. Yes, I think it's gonna take that long to trickle down.

  1571. For a skilled driver, oversteer is easier to correct. For an unskilled driver, understeer is easier to correct. Most unskilled drivers, when faced with a vehicle out of control, slam on the brakes. This will help in an understeer condition but will make things much worse in an oversteer condition. For this reason, I agree with you. If we were in Europe, where people actually learn how to drive a car and are taught what to do in an out of control vehicle, I would disagree.

  1611.  @stephenwilliams6103  You pay more, but your cities are more compact. That little tank lasts you 2 weeks. Here in the US, it would last you 3 days. It's not unheard of for fleet vehicles to put 300 to 500 miles/wk on the odometer.

  1613. Hey Ray... Nissan recommends the engine needs to be off for 60 minutes to get an accurate reading off the dipstick. At the dealership, we never start the engine after doing an oil change. After draining, we fill to the top of the dipstick with the knowledge it will be slightly lower than full after the filter fills.

  1614. I have used Evans in high performance street cars. The only thing to remember with Evans is that ALL of the water must be removed from a coolant system before it can be used. It's really only recommended for new builds that have never had water in them as it's very difficult to remove all of the water from a system that was previously filled with conventional coolant. According to a conversation I had with them, even a teaspoon of water can severely affect it's performance. One nice thing about Evans is that it can be used in race vehicles where glycol is prohibited.

  1615. Legit Street Cars tuned his C5 for lean burn at low load highway cruising. He got 40 mpg on the highway. Any skilled tuned with HP Tuners can do it. Absolutely no risk to the engine. As soon as the load increases over minimal levels, it goes back into the OEM tables. Perfectly safe to cruise on the highway at 15:1 AFR.

  1619. Only way you're going to get it is to get the owner to buy it back, then you can buy it. Insurance won't sell it to anyone but the original owner. Otherwise, it'll probably go to the local CoPart auction where someone like me (with a dealer's license) can buy it. I like it, but it needs a third pedal to really interest me.

  1629. So this is why I don't like doing other people's comenbacks... It allows other people, who can't diagnose their way out of a wet paper bag, to continue sucking at diagnostics and just throw parts at cars they can't figure out. It really pisses me off that these dummy's get paid the same as techs who actually know what they're doing. I'd give it back to the original tech and tell them, "It's yours until you figure it out. If that means you only flag 5 hours for the week, tough s***".

  1630. Someone ordered both, and sent the plastic one back in the aluminum one box to get the bigger refund. Happens because nobody at the parts store ever bothers to check what's in the box.

  1632. This goes for all cars. Always tighten suspension components under load, never at full droop on the rack. Sometimes, if I don't want to crawl around on the ground, I'll put my tranny jack under the tire and lower the rack so the tire sits on the jack. I know, "you're car's gonna fall off the rack". No. In 30 years, never had a car fall off a rack.

  1633.  @florpdorp7190  No. You're confusing speed with rpm. The rpm is the same at the tool. The outside diameter has to travel at a faster speed to make that revolution, but it's still one revolution. He's counting the revolutions, not measuring the speed of that revolution.

At this point, I'd be asking the customer if they're having you d this because they noticed an issue with the trans or did the just feel this was a good upgrade. Keep pictures and definitely inform the customer in case the trans fails next week. Don't want your work to get blamed for the trans failing. @34:00... Use the scan tool to monitor the trans temp, warm in up to about 110* and open the fill plug to set the level. If you set it cold, it'll be overfilled.

With the bridge carrying that many pedestrians, was a a civil engineering study not conducted to estimate the amount of foot traffic that would be using it? Looks severely over capacity.

  1641. I hate hearing, "spill and fill". It's what the service dispatcher used to say as I walked past his desk and he handed me an RO for an oil change. It meant I wasn't going to make any money for the next 1/2 hour. Oil changes paid 0.3, but took 0.5 to do.

You do know that planned housing developments only became popular in the 50's, right? HOA's only became popular in the late 60's. That's why when you go to cities and towns built before then, there are no HOA's.

  1669. Why are you working on the ground? Someone steal your rack? There's a drain plug in the bottom of the radiator. You'll see it if you remove the under tray. Also, why are we not replacing the expansion valve? If there's metal in the system, I guarantee there's metal in the expansion valve. When I buy an A/C kit it usually comes with an expansion valve or orifice tube, along with a bottle of flush for the evaporator. Where's your coolant vacuum filler? Someone "borrow" it?

  1671. I don't know why you don't want to discharge the A/C. On most modern cars, the condenser, radiator and fans are installed as a module. It only makes sense to remove them as a module. I'm also curious why you don't use a vacuum filler for the cooling system. It's quite a bit faster than using the burping funnel.

  1678. The CVT should be quicker 0-60 in a turbocharged car, if it's programmed for performance. It should be able to take the engine immediately to peak torque and hold peak torque through the entire acceleration event. There's no loss of boost because there's no gear shift event. This should result in quicker acceleration. If it's not, then the software needs work.

  1707. I will say this... When you buy from L.L. Bean, make sure it doesn't say "imported" in the catalog. I'm from Boston and when I was a kid, we used to drive to Maine just to shop at L.L. Bean. Nearly everything there was made in the USA and many products were made right in Maine. You can still find the occasional USA made item there, but now just like every other corporation in America, most of their items are made in Asia. I'm not saying that everything made in Asia is junk, I'm just saying they're not worth the high L.L.Bean price.

I wanted to replace the oil cooler too, but the warranty company wouldn't pay for it. This was a brand new crate motor and new turbo from Subaru. It was back 4 months later. Warranty company covered ANOTHER engine and turbo and fought me on the cooler again. I eventually convinced them to cover it.

  1731. You should get a rolling tool cart for the tools you use most often. It will free up space and de-clutter your tool box while allowing you to bring your most used tools with you when you move from bay to bay. I've got a big Matco 6S box with a hutch, top box and side locker. It stays in one spot and holds specialty tools, brand specific tools, electrical tools, Keurig, laptop, time clock, random junk and spare parts I use for testing. It's where I do paperwork, make coffee, timestamp work orders, and hide from my service writer. My cart contains my daily use tools that I roll that around to wherever I'm working. BTW, I call my linear impact drivers, thumb finders.

  1732. Yes, the dash blistering was an issue. Infiniti's had dash blistering and Nissan's has peeling trim. @3:49... Seals on the cam position sensors. Common Nissan issue. In the future, change those when you do this. It's a "while you're in there" thing and the seals are cheap. Also valve covers. Check the spark plug tubes. Since the valve covers have to come off anyways, check if the tubes have oil. If they do, you have to replace the covers. The seals are integrated. Get Nissan covers. The aftermarket ones always leak. Can't count how many times I've removed "new" Amazon covers the install Nissan covers. @17:50... When I do this job, I always buy that crossover hose. They get very hard and usually crack when you take them off. @37:14... I unbolt the harness bracket at the back of the motor. It gives an extra inch or so. 4 years as a Nissan Master Tech, I can do this job in about 2 hours, but I did nothing but Nissan's. @1:09:07... You'd be surprised how often we'd get 350Z's in with a misfire and it was just 2 coil plugs swapped.@1:19:30... It's part of the PCV system. It's a vacuum chamber. It's where the pipe on the front of the plenum goes. @1:21:30... It'll be back. The paper gaskets like to leak. The plenums aren't perfect. The metal gasket is thick enough to make up for the imperfection. The paper gaskets are too thin. If it comes back with a hunting idle and a throttle body code, it's actually the paper gasket.

  1739. @21:00... I'm checking voltage at the pump. See if it's below 13v. @36:00... Just jump the relay pins. We know the relay is fine, take it out of the circuit. @40:00... I'm taking apart the fuse box to clean/inspect everything. @45:50... Check voltage on the green wire at the fuse box now. Then check at the pump. Probably high resistance on the wire. As you drive, the wire heats up, which increases the resistance, which makes it hotter, which increases the resistance, etc... That's why it takes a short drive for it to die. @56:48... Yeah, you know you have 12v going to the pump, but how many volts are actually making it to the pump? Check it now.

  1744. To repeat what I said in another video... Know how I know it needs a coil? It's a Nissan with a misfire. Nissan coils are junk. - Former Nissan Tech. No, #3 isn't more common, just a coincidence. Also, any time you get a Nissan with CVT with over 60K, you should recommend a CVT fluid change. Not maintaining the trans is one reason those CVT's fail so often.

  1745. I'm a high rigger and use a Benchmade automatic opening knife for work because I need a knife I can use with one hand. With daily use, it stays sharp for about 3 months with occasional wet stoning. Every 3 months I sharpen it fully and it takes an edge really well. It was about $300, but it's worth it to me, since it's a work tool. I also have a mid-80's Buck knife with a Japanese steel blade. I don't use it, but I like having it.

  1747. You really do need to hire a full time wrench turner. Expand that business, and who knows... Maybe open a second and third locations in the coming years. The best retirement plan is to have a functioning, self managing business that you can just collect a yearly stipend from. Better than living off savings.

  1748. I've been in the business for 35 years and never seen a charge for "brake clean". We do charge for "shop supplies", but that's for much more than brake clean. It also pays for our rag service, uniform service, oil-sorb, waste oil removal, etc...

  1750. The Xenomorph shift knob is just a step too far. I can get on board with the Godzilla stuff though. The fitment issue with the exhaust is that this isn't really an Abarth. It's just the 1.4 Turbo, which is a mid model between the standard 500 and the Abarth. The Abarth comes with a dual exhaust. @24:45... I'd use a second pole jack under the passenger's side to get the tips perfectly centered in the cutouts of the bumper, then run a tack. @27:15... Always gotta be careful welding on the floor. Once saw a guy catch a car on fire welding on the floor. Carpet inside the car caught fire. @30:55... It seems you're the type that doesn't like to tell a customer, "no". I would've taken one look at the fitment and told the customer to return that exhaust. With it being just a pipe and two tips with no muffler, I'd have just driven the car over to my exhaust guy and had him make an exhaust from the downpipe back for less than what that exhaust probably cost, and it would fit perfectly with no chance of an exhaust leak. This fabricobbled system looks like it's got two potential leak points.

  1751. I just got a Triton D10. I actually sold my Verus Pro with it's own toolbox, 30" monitor and printer to get my Triton. Didn't need that big set-up any more and it was due for an update. I miss the wireless OBD dongle, but I like everything else.

  1767. Spent 23 years mostly loading trucks. The loader here is a Cat 980, I was in a Cat 988. This truck I can load. The shorter trucks, I have to get the bucket diagonal to get it in the bed. Loader operators need to be fast because we usually have a line of trucks waiting. Drivers get paid by the ton or by the load, so they want to get in and out as fast as possible. Gotta be fast, but also smooth. If you spill the truck driver's coffee loading the truck too hard, they get real bitchy on the CB. Even though that's a new truck, after getting loaded or dumping, the driver always gets out of the cab to make sure the gate is locked, the tarp is closed and there's not stray rocks on the lip of the gate. Any one of those 3 things are good for a big fat ticket if they're not right. BTW, Andre, loader operators appreciate it if you back all the way up against the pile. Less clean up for us.

  1768. That's what happens when you're not willing to pay for professionals. When you want to pay $12/hr. you're not getting folks like me, who have 30 years of work experience and have been working on cars for 35 years. I'm not working for less than $30/hr. My last job, I was making $42/hr.

  1771.  @AT-wl9yq  we don't charge for a specific weight on the RO. The line simply says, "freon". It's not theft.

  1773. Ray, it's a Powerstroke. Ram's have Ecodiesels. I'm hoping you know this and are just trolling us Ford guys. Since we're trolling... you know the size of the tool to remove the bolt isn't the size of the bolt, right? The "10mm" bolts holding the upper pan are actually 6mm bolts. It looks like this thing hydrolocked with a stuck open injector.

  1777. I was a wildland firefighter for 4 years. While doing that, I was a volunteer structure firefighter in Pahrump, NV. because our engine was parked there. There are a lot of manufactured homes with propane tanks. You wanna talk about feeling a thump in your chest? When a propane tank blows up, it's called a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). OMG!, the noise and the pressure that releases... Search for "bleve" on Youtube. I was a good 200 feet away and it straight blew me over and knocked the wind out of me (and gave my entire face a first degree burn). That was only a 200Lbs. tank.

  1790. I find it humorous that GM designed the wheel covers to look just like the SS wheels. The O'Reilly brake clean is good, but they've jacked the price from $1.99/can to $4.99/can. I don't care what anyone says... That's NOT inflation. That's greed. There's hasn't been 250% inflation. @13:32... That low pressure fitting is definitely leaking. You can see the oil all over the lower radiator hose. @20:00... I'd just remove the line before drilling. Zero risk of metal contamination if the line is off the car. The air trick might work, but it might not. Remove the line, drill, then flush with brake clean. @27:00... You can't blow air through the compressor. If you could, it wouldn't compress very well. @39:47... Looks like the pressure relief blew off at some point in this compressor's life.

  1797.  @KingARob_  No. Change the fluid and filter and have the dealer update the TCM software. Pretty sure there's a TSB for the judder. The fix is to update the software. If that doesn't fix it, it's likely the torque converter.

  1798. So, looking at a head, cam, and timing belt service at a minimum... Maybe a piston. Probably cheaper to swap a used motor. The cam could have cracked if someone tried to use the valve cap bolts to push the cam down against the force of the lifter.

  1799. Just a brief history lesson, from an American History buff. We declared our independence on July 4th 1776, but we didn't actually win our independence until September 3rd, 1783, the day we signed the Treaty of Paris. I personally have always found it odd that September 3rd isn't a holiday. July 4th is still important as it's the day the US told The King to F off and that we would no longer be subjects of The Crown.

  1800. If it wasn't taken care of, you must've sold it cheap. People who buy cheap cars usually do so because they have no money. Despite the fact that most people NEED a car to get to work, one of the first things people eliminate from their budget is car maintenance. I don't understand the logic. If your car breaks, you can't get to work. Maintenance should be one of the last things you eliminate, only behind food and shelter.

  1801. @4:40... You're in a unique position, with a YT channel, to have access to a larger pool of talent, maybe even some from other states, willing to relocate. I'd love to work with you. I've got over $100k in tools, 30 years on the job. Unfortunately, I'm currently disabled, waiting for a kidney transplant. It's how I have time to watch all your vids. @5:57... In Las Vegas, we usually get all traffic from one side goes, then their green arrow goes off. Straight traffic from the other side starts, then all traffic from the first side stops and the green arrow for the other side comes on. We also get a yellow flashing arrow for "left turn yield on green". @13:00... The internet is full of people who feel offended for other people who aren't offended. @20:10... OSHA rules actually say that unprotected loading dock is supposed to have a chain across it. @24:30... "Cheap is expensive". Don't apologize for telling the truth. I get trying to not burn bridges, but some bridges aren't worth saving. The only bad thing about that BG trans machine is that it pretty much only works on vehicles that use Dex/Merc. You'd need a second machine if you want to also do CVT's. Also, so manufacturers specifically state in the warranty guide that using a flush machine voids the trans warranty.

  1802. I own a couple sets of Snappy Flank Drives. Best open end wrenches I've ever owned. I don't own any flare wrenches. I've got these odd looking Snap On wrenches I use on them. They fold up like a pocket knife. They're designed to flex and tighten up on a flare nut as you turn it. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bump in Proto sales after this video.

If they just bought it, the seller probably cleared it. Should have a P0456 with a leak that large. @23:50... I'd use some brake clean to clean off all of the gasoline residue. Easier to detect any future leaks.

  1816. I only drink one cup a day, so I use only single cup coffee makers. I'm not a fan of the waste generated by a Keurig and I'm a bit of a coffee snob. For this reason, I have a Jura. Yes, it was expensive, but with Starbucks charging over $3 for a basic cup of coffee, it paid for itself in less than a year since I used to get Starbucks daily (260 week days times $3 a day is $780) . My home brewed coffee is cheaper and much better tasting. I know it's a big ask, but it would be cool to see you test some high end coffee makers and compare their ease of use, cost per cup if amortized over one year, and taste of the coffee. I know taste would be subjective and not objective, but it would still be nice to have it included. Of these, I'd get the Bunn for two reasons... Time to brew and it's assembled in the USA.

  1817. Sam's is the same. Notice all the people in the clips are women? This strategy works on women, who enjoy shopping. Most men, like me, just get frustrated when we can't find the item we buy every time we shop. When I shop, i have a mental list of what I'm getting and I go right to where that item was last time. When it's not there, or moved, I just get frustrated and sometimes just skip buying it since i can't find it.

  1823. I really don't get it. He ran cause he's "on paper" (probation/parole)? So, instead of stopping and taking the ticket for expired plate and no insurance/license, which would likely not get him violated, he runs, destroys his truck (which is likely not yet paid for and not covered by insurance), gets injured (probably has no health insurance), and gets charged with a felony and violated. These people (not a racial reference) clearly lack any ability to think more than 5 minutes into the future.

  1826. Why is the Tesla more popular? One word... Autopilot. I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention this. Did you forget Tesla's (even the Model 3) have Autopilot available? BTW, The Nissan Rogue not only has a rear camera sprayer, it also has a small air compressor to dry the lens. Why no power seats? Most people (even couples) drive their own cars, so the seats are rarely adjusted. Removing the heavy electric adjusters is an easy way to knock 20Lbs. of the weight of the car. Important on an electric car where range is an issue.

  1827. If you go all the way into the dash to do that sensor, do the heater core while you're there. Just 'cause. Technically, that's not how a warranty works. If the company providing the warranty found out about the situation, they wouldn't warranty it. By warrantying the component, your shop is actually committing fraud. That being said, there's really no way for them to find out and this practice has been accepted by these companies as just part of doing business.

  1832. Happens all the time. This is why any time I get a used part from a salvage yard that has moving parts (as opposed to something simple, like a motor mount), I always charge an hour for disassembly and inspection. This became my policy when I installed a salvage yard rear end in a Nissan Titan only to find out after installation that the limited slip differential in the rear end was broken.

  1833. "New" doesn't mean "good". ;) Note that the old sensor had a white connector and the new has a black connector. They're usually color coded. The fact that the one you pulled out was white, tells me it was probably the wrong sensor.

  1840.  @KingSalami407  You can't buy a regular C5 FRC and build it to compete with a Z06 for the price of a Z06. You seem to forget, in the C5 generation, the Z06 wasn't based on a standard Vette. It was a completely different bodystyle.
    1
  1841.  @KingSalami407  Most Z06's never see a track. It's not just about track times. The C5 is cheap because they're everywhere. The Z06 is a special car. Different body, different suspension, different engine... Really all it shares with a standard C5 is some interior parts and the name.

I don't think you should bother with the oil analysis. You added 1 1/2 qts of brand new oil. That's going to dilute the percentages of contaminants.

  1845. Looks like one of those brake shops (horrible, never take your car there) just did a brake job. Probably didn't set the rear shoe gap or lube the caliper pins or flush the fluid. These shops take short cuts to run the cars through quickly and because they're just a brake shop, they don't address any other issues. The master cylinder leaking into the booster was a common Nissan issue. Common enough that we had a TSB on it. We would pull the vacuum hose and stick our sucker hose down into the booster and watch the hose to see if we sucked out any fluid. This is a quick way to check without having to pull the master cylinder loose.

  1846. That trans mount is definitely toast. You can tell by the rubber oozing out. Hopefully he gets it done soon. By the look of that trans fluid, the guy does take care of his car. It's possible the trans has had a fluid exchange done, but not a proper service with a filter change. Some of those chain quick lube places suck the fluid out the dipstick tube and just refill.

I regularly walked 20 miles a day over rough terrain with a 40 Lbs. pack on my back. I would get another pair, but my current job requires a steel shank and steel toe. The Smoke Jumpers have no steel, to prevent burning your feet in fires.

  1869. I blame the store as well as the thief. I blame the management though, not the employees. Parts stores used to employ full grown adults and paid a livable wage. When they did, we had knowledgeable, honest parts guys who cared about their jobs. Now, at least near me, they're all $13/hr teenage kids who know nothing about nothing because they haven't been on the planet long enough to know anything. This is what leads to apathy at the work place and jobs not being done.

  1870. You're not old enough. The target demo was folks who were in their late 40's to 50's at the time. If you wanted a hard top convertible, this was the most functional one you could buy. Most (Like the SLK55 and the SC430) had little tiny trunks. Not this one. I'm 49 and if these were affordable, I'd buy one (and drop a Magnacharger on top of the engine). Unfortunately, the rarity and niche following have kept the prices on nice ones pretty high.

  1872. Ray, on a normal street car, you'd want those bushings tight to prevent noise. On a track car, you want those bushings loose so that those don't impede motion. If you disconnect the end links, this bar should move freely with zero binding in the bushings.

  1877.  @dennishoule2570  Yep. People in NV think because there's no state income tax that we pay less in taxes. We don't. The State budget needs to be funded. If it's not coming from a state income tax, it's coming from somewhere else. In MA, where there is a state income tax, I paid $45 to register my car. In NV, where there's no state income tax, I paid $952.

  1879. What's with the thumbnail? That an AI generated image? Why is the engine sideways? If i absolutely can't find a leak in the engine compartment, I just assume it's the evaporator. Checking the drain is just confirmation. To check the vents, you're supposed to run the A/C for 3 to 5 minutes, then shut the blower motor off before checking. Cold air can give a false positive. You can also shine the UV light in the resistor hole.

  1880. Your 12V Cummins is probably the best diesel engine to modify. They're very strong and capable of HUGE power output. Your only issue is the auto trans. They need to be upgraded to handle big torque. The manual is stronger, but requires a heavy clutch and a strong left leg for big numbers.

  1885. My mother had a 2001 Cherokee, the last year. They didn't call this the Cherokee in the US because Cherokee owners in the US took their Chreokees off road at a far higher rate than owners in any other country. The Liberty could go off road, but it wasn't as good off road as the pre-2001. The switches in the console are a styling thing that Jeep thinks Jeep owners want, but don't really. We get having them centralized in a Wrangler for functional reasons. There's no real reason here. The better alternative to the Liberty is the Dodge Nitro with the 4.0L V6.

  1890. @8:25... Yes, the right wing position is "leave your job". This is why they're anti-union and anti-minimum wage. They think if you dare to think you're worth more than what's being offered, you should just get another job. They also like to throw out, "If you think it's so easy to own a business, you should quit and start your own business". Yes, everyone should be a business owner and nobody should be an employee. How's that gonna work, you dumbasses. No employees, all business owners.

  1891. One thing to remember about the water based coolants. They're 100% water based because they're made for race vehicles that aren't allowed to use any glycol. Glycol is slippery if it leaks on the track. 100% water based coolants are not intended for street use. I use Motul Mocool and distilled water in my race bike with no coolant. Corrosion and freezing really aren't a concern in my race vehicles because I change all of my fluids every race weekend and we don't race in freezing conditions. My only concerns are cooling and wear. The VP Racing is one of those products that performs great as a racing coolant but isn't really something I'd ever use in a street car.

  1892. The loss of USA made hand tools due to corporate shareholder greed fills me with rage. I use tools every day in my job and the loss of quality affects my ability to do my job.

  1893. I had an '86 Subaru XT GL-10 4wd. It had a manual trans, turbo engine, selectable 4wd, and an adjustable height suspension. I had it in '90, so it was only 4 years old. Was a great winter car in Massachusetts.
    1
  1894. @6:29... I always need an A/C machine because I remove the cooling module as a package. It's so much easier. Leave the fan attached when you remove the package. I also reassmble the whole package, fan included, out of the car. I know I keep harping on it and you're not going to change for the same reason I'm not going to change. We all know our way is the best because we've been doing it for years. You should get a can of trans line flush. Makes flushing out the lines easy. The TSB trans coolers for the Nissan CVT's used to come with a can. Works great. I'd probably flush out the trans lines and the engine before installing the new cooling package.

  1895. Far from groovin'. Be sure to apply a sealer to prevent re-yellowing. After cleaning, I spray with a UV clear coat. Then I wet sand and buff. Without the clear-coat, these will be yellow again in just a few months.

  1909. I was paid 0.3 hrs at the Nissan dealer for an oil change. We had a lube dept., but when they got busy we were always asked to help out and do a few oil changes. We HATED it because the $30 oil change customers almost NEVER wanted to pay for any other work. As a Master Tech, it was a waste of my talents, knowledge and skill to do oil changes.

  1910. I HATE P0455's. Usually it's a gas cap. Problem is, if the customer tightened the cap between when the light went on and when you look at it, the smoke machine will reveal no leaks. Problem is that the ECM takes several drive cycles to turn the light off on it's own. I wish ECM's would reset on EVERY drive cycle.
    1
  1911. Here's the problem... Most politicians, on both sides are wealthy, so they work for the wealthy. Democrat policies better serve the working man. Conservative politicians know how to message better and pander to the working man. If people voted in their best interest, rather than for a social agenda, most working people would vote Dem. Too many people vote based on religion and "feelings". This is why conservatives are spending so much energy on "trans", abortion, drag shows, etc...

  1912. I would've at least tried to sell the guy on a set of shorty headers. I mean, there should be zero extra labor. Oh, and some NGK plugs. Regarding Chinesium parts...

  1913. It hit 102 here in Vegas today. @42:30... I've said it before, I'll say it again... I comment on almost every one of your videos. I often offer alternative ways to do things, but you'll notice I never say you're doing it wrong. Just because I'd do something differently doesn't mean your way or my way is wrong. There's often several correct ways to do things. @45:45... I want an old Chris-Craft, but in immaculate condition. They're way out of my budget though. @56:30... I'd dump some injector cleaner in there too. For reasons. @56:45... Damn, man. That's sucks. I love the smell of gas. @57:46... Looks like the fuel gauge still isn't working. I noticed there was no float on the pump assembly. Is the float somewhere else in the tank? Customer elected not to fix it?

Owner probably didn't want to put that kind of money into it, especially if they have another car. What we really want to know is what did the Dakota sell for? Those 90's trucks, especially the V8's, are gaining in popularity. So, I'm guessing in went for north of $6k.

  1920. I sell good parts off blown engines I pull out on eBay. Makes a few extra bucks on the side. "Ding, Fries are Done" was never a commercial. It went viral back in the early days of the internet. It's actually a single off a 1993 Christmas album called, "A Very Spastic Christmas". That cylinder hydrolocked. Either coolant or a stuck open injector. This video is giving me flashbacks to doing head gaskets on Nissan VQ35 engines. Did a set almost every week.

  1925. I wouldn't depend on a diesel truck to power a house. I'd just get a propane generator for the house. I don't want to carry around all of that extra weight in the truck all the time for the rare occasion that my house loses power. I live in a 43' motorhome that has a diesel generator. It's much easier to maintain that generator than installing a bunch of batteries and inverters to run off the big MH engine. I think if you actually ran the numbers, you'd find the propane Generac to be worth it. If it wasn't, they wouldn't sell so many.

  1937. Big reason why you don't have to "turn and burn"... A lot of times, in order to make the sale, service writers will tell customers, "yeah, we can do it right now, while you wait" even if there's already a car on your rack, torn apart. Service writers are sales people first and customer service second. Having your own place means no service writers.

  1948. I keep some Scotch-Brite on my balancer for scrubbing off the road grime. The answer to how we got here is that the service writer diagnosed the problem without ever getting out of their chair.

  1949. @16:00... This is why I hate this style of control arm. The lower arm is at it's maximum downward travel. That's why it won't come off. The knuckle has to be raised, which means unbolting the knuckle from the strut.

  1957. $3.25 for regular. I haven't paid that for gas in years. We're over $4 here in Vegas. The owner is probably "topping off" when he fills the tank. This is why there's liquid gas in the lines. @16:45... That's what you think. I worked at a dealership for 4 years. We only did recalls when the customer requested it. I used to try to tell my service writer that a car had a recall and he always told me the same thing... "That's not what it's here for. Ignore it". @19:23... Anything that says, "Dorman" on it should be immediately suspect. LOL. I'd replace the canister and educate the customer about not "topping off" after the pump shuts off.

  1959. According to TFL (they have a Mach-E premium awd and a Model Y performance), the Mach-E and Model Y are within 100Lbs of each other according to the door jamb stickers (Model Y is the heavier).

  1969. @15:10... You can make an install tool out of an aluminum can. @18:50... So much easier to buy the big tube of Grey and a caulking gun. Much cleaner and more controlled than the squeeze tubes. Also, cheaper to buy one big tube than four squeeze tubes.

  1970. @43:50... I actually have a zip tie gun. After inserting the zip tie into itself, you put the end in the gun. It pull the end, applies the proper amount of tightening torque and the cuts off the tail with one trigger pull.

  1971.  @jhtsurvival  What state is that?

  1972.  @wayneb6441  Please cite the case. In which case did SCOTUS say this?

  1973.  @jerbwood  Yep, I'm still getting the warning because I know how to act. I've NEVER been cited for something I didn't do.

  1974. When you can't afford to maintain your almost $100k SUV, you probably bought more than you can chew. Bet they're putting regular gas in it too. Wheels are bent because they do some serious off-roading at the mall, hitting those parking curbs.

  1975. Ray, no Assault Air Nozzle to blow out the air box? What brand is that belt? Never seen a "Made in Italy" belt. Calligraphy isn't cursive. If she's actually learning Calligraphy, that's awesome. I learned when was young. Of course, back in the 80's we actually wrote letters still since email didn't exist for home users yet. Nope... Not allowed to make mistakes. This is the interwebs.

  1976. @7:50... Oh, no... That fish eye lens is not good. Oh and instead of trying to hold the wire where you want it, rotate it to before where you want it and let the nut turn it to where you want it when you apply torquage.

  1977. You really don't need sealant around the o-ring. That's the o-rings's job. Also, I'd use grey instead of black. Also, I use a cut up aluminum can inside the crank seal to keep the lip from inverting during installation.

  1978. You don't do boot replacement? I only replace the axle if the boot's been leaking long enough for the joint to make noise or if it looks dry.

  1979. @2:20... So it doesn't have a DC to DC converter with a 12 V outlet? Seems like a silly omission on Tesla's part. I know some manufacturers are ditching the 12V plug for USB power ports, which I also think is stupid.

  1980. Need two hands for that large diameter shaft... That's what she said. Serious question... Do you guys not have a shop rag service? I just noticed you use lots of brake clean and no rags.

  1981. They saw clear fluid on the ground and assumed fuel. Probably evaporator water. I've worked on lots of Carmax cars. Their techs seem to do a good job at recon. That rusty runoff is from a blown up battery. Probably why it has a new terminal and battery. It may have actually bee damaged in the wreck.

  1982. @10:15... OMG. The only thing holding that wheel on is the caliper. Get outta there! Getting a used rear end will probably be cheaper than replacing all of the busted/worn parts. Labor will probably be less too.

  1983. Ray, you missed one. You didn't torque the lug nut at the 2 o'clock position.

  1984. My stud pulling tool is a stack of flat washers with grease and a sacrificial lug nut.

  1985. On an RX-8, best way to clear a flood is to remove the plugs and crank it. Also, make sure the oil injection pump isn't dumping oil. I've seen that and had to replace the oil injection system. These inject oil, just like a two stroke. Based on the amount of smoke on throttle, I'm gonna say one or more of the oil injectors is leaking/stuck. @33:00... This is why I pay for stuff with a CC. Reverse the charge. The did NO work. They didn't even diag. It would be like you charging a diag fee to walk out to the parking lot, look at the cars and say, "I can't fix that".

  1986.  @infernoking7504  It's a zero stroke engine that burns oil.

  1987.  @TassieLorenzo  The Type-R may be based on an econobox, but it wasn't built to be one. The base model Civic would be an econobox.

  1988.  @TassieLorenzo  Really, with the magical no torque jet engine again? If a turbine make no torque, how does it rotate the driveshaft in a helicopter or tank?

  1989.  @angusbuchan.  I like using C-Lock nuts. No nylon to wear out or melt away.

  1990. @23:18... "A non horny Taurus"... Sounds like my ex.

  1991. Seems the answer might be visibly armed security at the doors. I'd think seeing that the guard is armed might be enough to make the thieves choose somewhere else to try their luck. Might take a few dead thieves to get the point across. The cost would be less than the losses. I don't think the retailers really care. They just pass the losses on to the consumer through increased prices. They don't pay, we do.

  1992. Based on the amount of clutch material and lack of chunks, I'd say this is a good core for rebuild. Maybe try your hands at it? Not very hard to do, just swapping out worn parts for new parts.

  1993. Did you see Emilia Hartford's Ferrari 296 pass? It's a mid 9 second car.

  1994. I had the T-Maxx, the nitro version of this. I kept it stock. My money was all being dumped into my HPI Nitro RS4.

  1995. Funny story about signaling on the highway... I was following a Mercedes down the highway and he was swerving through traffic, never once signaling. He got off the highway at the same exit as me and pulled into a gas station. I pulled in to the same station and parked at the pump across from him. I said, "that's a nice car". He said, "thanks". I then said, "I'd think a car that nice would come with turn signals". He responded better than I thought. He raised a finger, telling me I'm #1. What a nice guy.

  1996. Funny. I think there's a connection between kitchens and shops. Lots of "cross pollination". I think it's a love of tools. I love cooking and have been a tech for 30 years. In my house, the garage and kitchen are mine.
