I use to see a lot of water in pick-up rear ends due to many trips loading and unloading boats at the lakes. So I started to run the vent up to the top of the bed between the cab and bed.
Should a professional mechanic reprograme the odometer if he has put a new engine into a vehicle.
your awesome. i been learning alot for your videos
hi Eric what is your thoughts on rotors the solid or the new ones with the holes drilled in them to help keep them cool so they won,t distort and keep them stright thanks dave
bravo dude. more later…
Toyota Hiace (hi-ace like it sounds) FYI Eric it's a great heavy duty van. It has a 2.4 diesel engine. It's like a mini bus, you can fit 18 pasangers in that thing, same size as wolkswagen minivan found in US. Too bad Hiace is not allow in US, (smog regulations) I'll buy it.
Hi I have ad 2001 pt cruiser & and 95 honda oddyesse f22b6 auto and 2.4 vd (5sp) I know it rotation is different being engine sits on opposite side of capartment will engine rerotation … leftside
Ok Eric, I got one for you please. I'm wondering about the front anti roll bar or sway bar on an early Lexus IS200 / 300, I tried to take it off the car just to sand it back and paint it, when I tried to undo the bolt either side, it just kept spinning and not undoing, there's nothing at the back of it or in between the sway bar links to hold.
So is there a way to take it off without damaging the rubber boot or is one of those things where you can't take it off without damaging and then replacing it?
diesel glow plug system
key on supply power to timer to relay relay to glow plugs after 10 seconds or so timer turns off power to relay turns power off to glow plugs
Its April and i officially got my first car today Eric. I've watched some of ur videos to learn some basics as im new to this whole changing parts thing. I ended up buying a manual tranny project car that runs smooth all the way to 5th gear, but has messed up shocks and cut springs. Also their no vaccum going to the EGR and it idles at 1300rpms when it should be below 1100rpms. The the thing is waaayyy to close to the ground. But if you could explain (OR whomeer the awesome person reading this is) to me some of the things i might need to do/have to fix the thing i would be really happy and thank full if you can take a moment of ur time to suggests something, besides rule #1 never buying a project car which i learned the hard way.. 😛
Where is your shop ?
Jesus some of the questions on here lead me to believe u fuckers shouldn't be touching a car PERIOD!
You need to upgrade your streaming setup man. If you have a legit video camera (idk if you use a dslr) you could use an hdmi capture box to stream from your video camera. Then you'd just need faster internet. It'd be tax deductible 😉
Hardware recommendation: get a USB 3 camera. If your computer doesn't have USB 3 ports, you can buy a PCI card that will add USB 3 to your PC for $30 on Amazon. If that doesn't help, get higher upload plan from your internet provider.
lol light bulbs .. going to school to be a auto tech and my instructed told me if i could fix the light bulb i could go home.. unplugged the power box from under the frame and plug it back in, and it work so i left class lol

I just finished rebuilding my 2.2liter automatic
1999 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder engine. It runs perfect other than a rattle in the bottom in. I think it might be the thrust bearing. I'm not sure though lol. There is no rod knock or anything like that. I have new crankshaft and pistons, all new bearings. What do you think it could be
