  3. Wes, KING OF SARCASM!

  4. Your wife and kid are s great addition to the video! "Battery on cement floor"! LoL 😂 "That wasn't awesome!" He'll be as good as his parents!
    21
  5. LoL 😂😆 My wife doesn't have any input! 😢

  6. Probably had a sudden oil consumption increase and it was ran low on oil. Someone refilled it, but didn't tell them, or, you're not getting the full truth.
    16
  7. Was hoping for them to do a project together!

  8. Teaching our daughter who's is currently 15 to watch, feel, and listen to a vehicle as she's riding and now driving on her permit!
    12
  9. "They adjusted the clutch." Probably the first adjustment it's had in it's life and been slipping for a long time.
    11
  10. Hank, warning, Wes uses more tools than adjustable wrench! Good to see you here!
    10
  11. It's satisfying to see a CAD model you started from scratch become reality!
    9
  12. Had constant ABS activation on an '95 Windstar because the wheel speed sensors had rusted so much they were shorter and increased the air gap. It'll be interesting to see the cause in this case.

  13. Those saws strike fear into the younger generation! Gotta respect them! Keep that negative rake blade on them!
    9
  14. Yep! Gotta be listening or you'll miss the snarky wit!
    9
  15. That truck must have one AWESOME sound system! Gotta have some quality sound/noise to mask that!!
    9
  16. Stay humble. No one is perfect! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

  17. AVE is not subscribed to because of junk like that! I don't want to have my 12 year old daughter hear that! Hear too much from work!
    8
  18. Yep, did that to a '93 Taurus. Lock cylinder wore out.
    8
  19. "COLD" is relative! Anything above 20°F with no wind is nice in cold snowy climates. This coming from MN.
    8
  20. You did an excellent job recording and editing! I was with you every step! Even when you went down the intake rabbit hole! When I saw that it was an ungrounded hose clamp, I thought for sure it involved more than one wire! I would put this video in the upper 5!
    7
  21. Those guys know how to get things done!
    7
  22. Drive it until a wheel falls off! No, they didn't hear/feel anything!

  27. I hope the manufacturer of the break sees your modifications! Definitely not boring 🤣!

  28.  @gmctech  I'm guessing with should be without a window open.
    6
  29. Ball joints are getting close to releasing a wheel! LoL 🤣😆

  30.  @imdeplorable2241  try a a full broken manure spreader that's FROZEN! I wasn't working at the dealership at the time, but the office personal eyes were watering! LoL 😂😆
    5
  31. Having to stuff the intake under that cover is convoluted!
    5
  32.  @dondallman3933  Wes? I've been trying to figure out his background! Sure wish I wasn't so scared of math and physics! I definitely would have gone the ME direction!
    5
  33. Hose+frame work=fixed AC! PERFECT!
    5
  34. That tool would be nice. Don't do enough to justify it...
    5
  35. Yep, those guys are my entertainment also! Great channels!

  36. How much a day? Was that a Starbucks coffee or convenience store coffee? LoL 🤣😆

  37. Helping another friend over the phone with a brake issue. He couldn't get the air out of the system. It would work for a while and then poor brake pedal. Couldn't figure it out for him. He took it to a shop. Yes, a banjo bolt requires a certain amount of torque to crush copper washers. I guess he didn't see the brake fluid leaking!??
    4
  38.  @petercolquhoun2086  yes! Our 13 year old daughter has bleeding brakes down to a science! Plus, being thin, she can squeeze in the door even with the lift blocking it a bit.
    4
  39. Yes, everything can be fixed. Question is, should it be? Do you live in a area that has rust free vehicles?

  40. Disgruntled employee.

  41.  @austinshores3324  thanks!
    4
  42. LoL 🤣😆
    4
  43. ​​ @WatchWesWork  not rocket science, but throw someone who's never ran a lathe much, much less, chased threads, just watch what experience brought to play! You'll see it in scrapped parts! Scrapping a part wasn't an option here! Experience is key!! I too underrate my experience thinking what I did "wasn't really all that hard". Gotta remember how we got the experience and knowledge we have!

  44. ​ @WatchWesWork  whom you learned from?!

  45. I attempted to put Teflon seals in an automatic transmission. I failed, so did the transmission.
    4
  46.  @Kilolocks  I have an '00 Grand Cherokee. AC evaporator (or is it the condenser?) is leaking. I'm only going to drive it in the winter. I'm not pulling the dash to replace it!
    4
  47. Will definitely try it! Don't want to use Roundup anymore!

  48. Like #293 Thanks for the video!
    4
  49. I didn't pay attention..... Who's was he wearing?
    4
  50. Thank you for explaining how a two stage lift works!! Believe it or not, something I've pondered a time or three while operating and looking at lifts!
    4
  51. I'm happy with "phoned in videos"!
    4
  52. Take note, more than an adjustable wrench was used! LoL 😂😆
    3
  53. Yep, no videos! I usually judge a channel by it's content. Need at least a hello video. EDIT I caved, sub #342.

  54. And this one! Problem solved!! 😂😅😂😅

  55. Hey Wess, great to see your channel growing! You're doing well!

  56. ​ @firesurfer  now I need to find this!

  57. Thanks for the video. I've reused copper sealing washers and never have had one leak.

  58. You're wrong, that truck frame rail is a 20 minute fix! Send it to me! 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500

  59. Respect!

  60. He's growing up! With two very intelligent parents, a dog and lots of shop time, he'll have a wealth of knowledge to give him a broad selection of what he wants to do in life. He'll probably be a teacher at an automotive training school!
    3
  61. Talk about grounding. On my '85 Dodge 1 ton I was having starting issues. I was thinking it was carb issues. When I was fiddling with the carb, I brushed my arm against the hot manual choke cable! Yes, the eng was being grounded via the choke cable!

  62.  @lordjaashin  she's married and has moved on in life.

  63. Any trouble codes set? Pending codes?

  64. Expense or fright?! LoL 🤣😆

  65. Always enjoy listening to your past experiences! After watching the JD head gasket replacement, respect gained!

  66. However, you probably work in +/- .125". This was probably +/- .03125"!

  67.  @mikespain8655  definitely takes work! Being a video creator, I fully understand that!
    3
  68. Drive it out!
    3
  69. I'm guessing the accuracy of the $3000 joysticks and the very lower cost one Wes choice out of his lower budget allowed on this project is required to deliver slight changes the operator delivers. Didn't understand everything you wrote about, but was able to catch enough to understand the basic idea.
    3
  70. Liked Thanks for the video! Thanks for recording your mistakes! When you forgot the bolts that hold an oil passage on one of the rusty trucks, that encouraged me to pay attention more to my own projects!
    3
  71. ​ @WatchWesWork <-------- this guy is okay with it! LoL 🤣😆 Never know what music tune is coming up next!!😂
    3
  72. Two Subaru engines had oil rings just as caked as this one. We have an Equinox with the 2.4. Just experienced the rear seal delete because of a plugged PCV hole in the intake manifold. Don't be fooled by the "vented oil cap" saving the rear seal! It might be vented, but the force to open the vent is more than the strength of the seal!

  73. Yep, don't be a parts changer! #ScannerDanner

  81. What shape did you make the business end?
    2
  82.  @TheDisgruntledMechanic  throw all of the jiggly bits in the box. Value added. The disassembly process is one thing the rebuilder doesn't have to do.
    2
  83.  @WatchWesWork  $3 cutting boards is the answer!
    2
  84. Sorry if I missed this in the video. No delay startup when warm is because? 1. ECU components aren't fully failing when warm? 2. Oil pressure is allowed to build with a hot engine verse a cold one? Diesel line has a small leak and it leaks down over time and requires higher RPM to draw the fuel? 3. I wasn't paying attention and all of the above were mentioned....
    2
  85.  @DanEBoyd  LoL 🤣😆
    2
  86.  @JimsNBHomestead  yep! Or Matt at Diesel Creek!

  91. He's very articulate!
    2
  92. Fairly new sub here. Thanks for the video. Are you concerned about the grid heater? I agree it's probably not working because the lack of a draw on the amp meter.

  93. ​ @WatchWesWork we all have strengths in our own areas!

  94. Dodge Dakota somewhere around 2006. Friend asked me to take a look at it because it wouldn't start. Got there, the battery was dead. Jumper cables to the rescue. Got it turning over. Got it to run with the accelerator halfway down. Anything less it would stall. Depressed the valve in the fuel test port. Fuel smelled like..... diesel. Asked him if it was possible if diesel got put in the tank. He denied that happened. I have a feeling that it drove home with the fuel mix, and then wouldn't restart being cold on the mix. Now, the whole reason why I started this post. He asked about fixing it. I started looking under it. The frame was actually bending because of how much was rusted away! The truck was only staying off of the ground because the box was against the back of the cab! He admitted he heard creaking as he drove it. Went to the salvage yard.
    2
  95. Probably brushes hanging up. You knocking it around removing it probably unhung them allowing commentator contact.
    2
  96. You really should be using a hammer to drive those nails! . . . . . . . . . . LoL 🤣😆 WoW what a generous gift from the viewer who did more than tell you what you need, made it happen!
    2
  97. His sarcasm and wit will confuse AI!
    2
  98. When one door closes, another one opens, . . . . Other than that, the truck is fine!

  99. How did I miss this video?!? Great job!

  100. Someone knows when that engine went BOOM!

  103. The "last" problem caused the first problem!
    2
  104. Yes, I was wondering how you changed for this one.... Thanks for explaining it... Thanks for the video!
    2
  105. ​ @TheShawna1  now that you mention the word bread board, I've caught the humor of his choice of base!
    2
  106. Like #842 Thanks for the video!
    2
  107. LoL 😂 I'm waiting for that endorsement!
    2
  108. Had an 1997 Dodge Van that had uncontrollable wipers. Didn't have a clue as to why they'd run any time at random with the key on. I put a regular house light switch in serries just letting it sit on the floor. Problem solved.
    2
  109. Try Simply Green.
    2
  110. Yes, heater core cleaning! When I met my wife, she was driving in MN without any heat! Used this method to flush the heater core long before YouTube. After a few years, the core started to get plugged again. This time it was core replacement. Book calls for dash removal. Nope, come-a-long attached to the rear hatch which was open. Pulled the dash out just far enough to slip the old one out and new one in. Problem solved! Drove it for a few more years before the jack started to push through the car instead of lifting it.
    2
  111. Thank you for your service!
    2
  112. Funny!
    2
  113. Gout-n-tight!
    2
  114. MN guy here. Most of the time it's the caliper pistons that are stuck. For my own vehicles, I've rebuilt many calipers. For customers, the labor time and price of replacement caliper, it's about the same. Just more work for me!
    2
  115. Agree 👍
    2
  116. Like #222 Thanks for the video!
    2
  117. Let's hear it rumble!

  118. Thanks for the explanation of how the limited slip works! I've never had to deal with one but have off and on thought about how they function.

  119. Aim twords your buddy not your body!

  120. Cutting firewood. Went to open the door to the Jeep. Locked up! Messaged my wife and she was there with the spare key.
    2
  121. I was wondering about the financial end of this and you answered it. Great job on the rebuild! When I was around 10-13 years old, we got a riding mower with the transaxle in a bucket. The flange bolts had come loose and allowed the ring gear to come out of mesh and break teeth off. This is way before the internet. Don't know how I found a place for parts, but I got a new ring gear and a few other parts which came to around $30. Got it back together and mowed the yard once with it. It would jump out of 3rd gear. I also think there were issues with the deck. The engine would kick back which would really hurt the hands! Learned a lot.
    2
  122. John, good to see you doing something other than starting excavator on fire! Sorry, just a little jab! LoL 😂😆 Eagerly awaiting your next video on that tractor!
    2
  123. How about doing a collaboration with Wes helping him pick up a few thousand subscribers? I have a feeling your subscribers would definitely enjoy Wes's content!
    2
  124.  @Kilolocks  I bought it to drive in the snow. Only have less than $1000 into it. That includes the $500 purchase price.
    2
  125. You won't be disappointed here! Wess provides some good stuff! Have you seen "Huff-n-Puff" towing? I think that's what he called it! (Wife pulling disabled vehicle!)
    2
  126.  @peepopalaber  in what manner? 🤔 Throw new parts at it until something sticks? 🤔 What parts aren't functioning to your liking? 🤔
    2
  127. Like #184 Thanks for the video!
    2
  128. You totally bent that cotter key WRONG! That tie rod will fall off in less than 500 miles! LoL 🤣😆 Great job videoing, and editing.. Except for the part you forgot to turn the camera on! ;) Huff-n-Puff shop assistant did well! I have our '03 Forester's engine out for head gasket replacement. Just what's going on over here. Liked
    2
  129. New $3 cutting board!
    2
  130. They probably destroyed the old clips on removing them. Then again, rust might have been the remover and the person installing the hose never saw the clip(s).
    2
  131.  @openphoto  great channel!
    2
  132.  @openphoto  he's actually subscribed to my little channel! Sadly, I haven't done any more with the project that drew him in. '58 Plymouth running.
    2
  133. Those lug nuts would have been a great example of how penetrating oil doesn't really get into the threads until there's some movement!
    2
  134. This is one video you didn't have to publish, BUT you did! I highly doubt I'll work on one of these engines. But, the same thing applies yo other things! I agree 💯% what other have said, and what you've already done. Live and learn! Those two bolts were out of site!
    2
  135. Just what I wrote! Well, kinda! Well written!
    2
  136. Things worked until the fan stopped turning.

  137.  @patriot9415  he really stepped up his game when he started focusing on his mechanical skills! Hydro power! Getting everything and everything running!

  138. Like #938 Thanks for the video!

  139. We had those black nats last summer in SW MN! Feel your pain! Thanks for the video!

  140.  @alanprather8399  Is the PCV system cleanable or is a replacement required?

  141. What length is good for you? Multiple parts? 🤔 What length your most successful video? 🤔

  143. Great job 👍!

  144. 1985 Dodge 1 ton 360. Always had running and starting issues. Replaced the pickup in the distributor, no change. Finally replaced the distributor. Total improvement! However, it's still running on 7. Probably a burnt valve.

  145. Thanks for the video!

  150. How did you do the italics text? I know how to do bold.

  151. Liked Thanks for the video! Life is a learning curve! HINDSIGHT is 20-15? Not even going to mention "powers of cheapness"! 😂
    1
  152. Just when you started explaining why the cooling fans were on, my mind went directly to Fail-Safe mode. Nice writing! Can actually read it! At what point do should we check for a leak in the AC system? Didn't know you have AC tools.
    1
  153. Technically, you didn't even have to do the crank sensor relearn. You got it running... But good on you for doing it!

  154. ​ @classicrestoration YEP! A fuel source just sitting not fastened down on a device that'll rattle your teeth!?!

  155. I had someone try and tell me that if you don't hold a torque wrench directly on the handle, you won't get correct torque.... I listened, but doubted the information!

  156. Only change your oil a few times per the life of the vehicle! Right? ;)
    1
  157. Nice to know some of your background! I was doing some CAD for a small machine shop. Next thing I know he drops $30,000 on a TorchMate CNC plasma cutter. Having never ran one before, I got it up and running. Did that for about 2 years. U kept telling him he needed dry air. Wouldn't listen! But was shure happy to complain about amount of slag! Would like to get my own sometime. Sure miss the ability to design and cut whatever!

  158. The best question: Why did you have compression on 1 the first time around, and lose it all n future testing?

  159. Living in MN, I very seldom lift on the pinch welds for fear of going through them!

  161. It's all about reading the speed and fluid pressure.

  162. Had a Civic that was running and then died. Had everything to run. Didn't want to fire the parts cannon and start replacing parts. Reached the end if my rope and had the customer take it to another shop. They replaced the distributor and it fired right up! Somewhere I have a short video of me cranking it over with the plugs laying close to their holes. Each cylinder blew flames as I cranked it over. Don't know what happened to the old distributor.

  173. I was struggling to bleed a rear caliper on an 1978 Yamaha xs 500. Must of gone through a small can of brake fluid. Still spongy. So, I tried my HF Venturi AC vacuum. It took more time to rig up hoses then to get the air out! Nice firm pedal! Oh, Ivan, because of me searching for information on the XS, I found your channel. FYI

  176. I found your channel when you were in "location X". Doing questionable things to get engines moving again. Wasn't impressed! Thankfully, you got out of that stuff and more repair oriented. My 3¢

  177. Had a guy bring me a 1995 Dodge Spirit which is used for delivery in his pizza business. Turn signal fuse would randomly blow. Started working on it. Found when the right turn turn signal was used once per key on, the fuel pump would do a second prime! Didn't get to dig into it much more as he decided not to put anymore money into the car. I still want to know how the signal powered the fuel pump!

  178. I banned myself! Couldn't take him seriously!

  179. Why does he want it running? Gonna cost him a pretty penny.
    1
  180. ​​ @WatchWesWork  how about a scope monitoring the amp draw on the starter while cranking? Since it's mechanical injection, probably would be difficult to find something for a trigger.

  181. New doesn't always mean better! New $3 cutting board would be the better answer!

  198. Found 3 leaks in my AC system on my '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee! After all that, the coil on the clutch decided to short out! Picked up a used compressor, and 43°F was my reward! 1. O-ring on the compressor. 2. Hose to the compressor. 3. Finally, dash out evaporator replacement!

  212. Purchased an Ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight. Used it several years. When I was at my dentist, I asked if he had an Ultrasonic Cleaner he wasn't using. YEP, he returned with an old unit that wouldn't work for him any more. Took it home, cleaned up the fuse holder, and it fired right up! With the HF unit, I could stick my hand in it with it running. Not so with this unit! The vibration actually hurts! Don't know the quality of your unit. Quality of the transducers it's equipped with. At one point, I thought about replacing the transducers on the HF unit. Maybe I still will... 🤔

  270. Worked at a Bobcat dealership for a bit. Witnessed a run-away on a fairly new unit! Only thing, it was running backwards! Couldn't stuff the exhaust, which was now identifying as an intake, because of the double wall exhaust pipe. Don't remember how they stopped it! But I do remember Bobcat wanted that engine to figure out how and why it was running backwards! If my memory serves me correctly, it was in the shop because it was having difficulty starting.

  276. Okay, you mentioned interment and slow internet in the same video comments. Here's one for you..... We had DSL internet for years. It worked, most of the time, but wasn't extremely fast. It got to the point we were having frequent outages to the point I had the number of the tech and would text him everytime it went down. He found a pedestal which a mouse had mad it's home. Every time it rained, the mouse would hussle home and snuggle up against the warm inside. Mouse evicted, outages decrease drastically. However, we replaced the service with wireless connection fiber.

Was very confident no contaminants entered the system. No power steering! Replaced the pump! Intermittent power steering! I stopped there! Wasn't going to replace the rack on that rust bucket! Trouble is, it only had less than 150,000 miles on it and ran great!

  308. In 1974, I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade. Living in N MN. I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun/nice to have a remote car starter to enter a warm car?" Unfortunately, I didn't get past the idea stag! Issues that prevented the project from moving forward. 1. Carborated engines. 2. $0.00 working capital. 3. Remote control. 4. Hardware that I believe only the military had at that time. 5. ? 6. ? ..... Definitely would have been a game/life changer! 🤔

Existing slab extends to the outside on the east side. Melting snow and heavy rains come in! My car hoist straddles the two slabs. Kinda works... Wish I had gotten the shop that had heat in the floor and a complete slab. However, that would have added another $100,000 to our debt!

One button was sitting a bit lower than the other. It would turn on a bit after the other one. I took some super glue and baking soda and built it up a bit. Now both switches turn on closer to each other. No more stopping mid cycle.
