Nice work, good video footage and clear explanation. Did those worn bushing on the arms make a clunking noise similar to what bad sway bar bushings sound like? Any other symptoms that lead you to find this problem? Thanks.
Thanks so much I just bought the part and decided to tackle it after watching your vid. I was worried about the screen. But that pick thing worked great
Yes. A large O ring sits on the groove that is made on the thermostat housing, which is then connectedto the water pump. The O ring on my freestyle thermostat housing is blue in my case. It can be blue, black, and perhaps orange.
I just bought a used 2010 and lifted the back seat to look for the jack but saw the empty cubby there and thought it was missing. So I went on eBay and bought a used one then went to put it in and realized the case was too big. After screwing around I discovered the cubby pulled out and there was my jack, brand new and unused! I wish I had seen this video earlier, everyone talks about the back seat latch but no one mentions the jack. Thank you. Know anyone who needs a F150 jack kit? LOL.
Helpful video. Just beware, there is a ground wire that grounds your fuel system right beside the upper motor mount and when you're trying to angle it in there I ripped out all the wires and had to rewire the ground. It's not the ground strap from the engine to the mount bracket. It's underneath the AC pipes bolted into the fender well
There should be a fill plug on the side. Fill transmission until fluid runs out the side drain plug. (Same as on a rear axle). As a pro mechanic, I suggest 1 drain and refill. Drive a few days, then another drain and refill. This helps cleanse the old fluid in the torque convertor. And 2 or even 3 fluid flushes is far cheaper than having a $500-1500 used transmission and $1500 labor to swap it out. $2500-3000 or do $150 in flushes???❤
I just replaced my broken driver's glass that my lawnmower took out. Your video was all I needed after one watch. I went outside and replaced mine in short order. Thank you, it was a big help. 2007 Chevy Avalanche
2009 pontiac g6 3.5 I just had my gear shift cable busted in housing today, not as bad to replace as i thought it would be before even seeing this video ! great video though all the same i'm glad someone posted this how to video on this particular car issue
I I did this whole bleeding process and it'll crank but then dies. Everything has been replaced and double checked. I will crank it after I bled it and will still be full of air. Help!
Forget the other videos. This is the best one. I wish I had seen this video before my project. My condenser fan went out and there are six ways to Sunday for people to do this job - all of them involve a lot more work. This is by far the simplest, most straightforward way of doing this. I could have saved myself money by just replacing the motor rather than the whole shroud/fan/motor assembly. Live and learn. Thanks again for the good work on the video.
I swapped out motors. I took my 94.5 7.3 for a 95 7.3. The 95 is authentic. I am wanting to change to 5 speed. I tried putting the flywheel on , and the screws won't go back in.
I have a 1991 XJ with a remanufactured 4.0 that has been a total quagmire for several shops. Incomplete fire and won’t start. I’ll reach out to you asap if you can message me back. Thanks!
It's running great. It's basically a daily driver. No real issues other than for some reason, I can't get a good heater core. The heater core, I believe, isn't holding the sudden increased pressure from the engine revving up as it has kept blowing with coolant pouring inside on the pass side. Once I replaced it twice with new units, I just bypassed it in the engine compartment. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the vid! I've watched a few other phaser tutorials and those that I've watched say how easy it is to remove the valve covers. I was trying to get mine off, checking multiple times that I got all fasteners off. As you mentioned, it felt like there was a bolt in the middle. Glad you clarified it's the plug tube seals that are the issue.
Thanks for watching! I was removing a set of valve covers on a chrysler 3.6 pentastar the other day and ran into the same thing. They didn't want to come off the plug tubes either.
I just wrapped mine after replacing the heads. Now the motor is overheating. It has a new radiator, fresh TOYOTA OEM coolant, and everything else the same. I THINK wrapping the crossover pipe is causing overheating, but I am not sure yet. I can find no information from anyone anywhere who has tried wrapping it. 😕
The rivet gun (and riveting) is the only way to re-secure the new regulator? It seems it would be next to impossible to get bolts, washers and nuts into those four holes.
Well, I like using my snap-on solus. I'm sure the dealer that it was at had a good scan tool also. I've added an autel to my collection of scan tools but really don't like it. As I commented on others, the engine/trans was pulled and placed in another Freestyle years ago and is still on the road today. Recently, I replaced the power steering pump on it with 290k miles. The original car went to the salvage yard. Thanks for watching!
Gotta replace the rear panel on my driver side cause some douche canoe broke it the other day this is the only video I have been able to find that helps, thanks….
I TOTALLY RECOMMEND if you are buying ur first hoist go WIT A 2 TON! 1 tons even have a hard time getting close enough to change engines in cars. And I been using a 1 ton for decades lol. I Def wish I would just bought a 2 ton
