Welcome!! I worked on cars and trucks when I got out of school. After a couple of years, my career went a different way, but I never lost my love of cars and trucks. I have always fixed my own cars and trucks. You will find many videos on my channel on how to repair and upgrade your car and truck. Repairs that go from brakes, brake calipers, airbags, and clutches to NV5600 transmission rebuilds and many more. Like most, I don't like to spend a lot of money, so many of my videos are about how to make things yourself instead of buying kits. On our channel, you will find videos like how to airbag your truck for $100.00, how to replace BMW timing chain guides, how to rebuild a Dodge 6-speed transmission, how to replace a head gasket on a BMW, build your own compound turbos, and many more. Subscribe and save some money doing things yourself. Remember the channel name GlennFix. Next time you need to fix something, check our channel. We probably have a video on it.
Great video! I'd just replaced my tensioner because I'd heard a chirping sound like a little bird. Got the tensioner installed, fired it up & come to find out it was the water pump after all!! That new tensioner made that water pump SCREAM!! Well, back to work!😪
Your video is just great. I have to do a valve job followed by timing chain and guides and it's very helpful to hear and see all your pointers. I'm curious about one observation. One of the exhaust cam bearing cap studs is missing. How will you replace it? It has to allow oil flow around it. I had two that had stripped in the cover and had coils inserted to be able to torque the valve covers. In case I run into a problem with any others, I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks.
Hi nice video I have a bad belt i want to replace it but my belt tensioner is bad the hole where u put the t60 torx is damaged should I just cut the belt and replace the tensioner and the belt?
@@Glennfix I’m trying to replace the tensioner but I don’t know how to retract the tensioner back to put the pin in I’m just going to cut the belt and replace both I hope I don’t damage anything
Helped me put mine back together my wheel cylinder went so I redid my brakes, the slack adjuster was off laying on the shoe this helped get mine going again
Job 1 today. 1998 Ram 1500 with 305,000 miles. I bought it with 72,000 miles for $5K cash. Nothing fancy, needs paint but it beats hell out of a monthly payment. It's got the big 5.2 (318 ci) and gets 17 mpg. It does everything a Truck is supposed to do...most people with trucks don't use them for truck work. Nice job Glenn.
I had a 2001 740 at least you can work on them. I have a 2014 750li now and they are very hard to work on. I also have a 1999 540 6 speed ( its the one in the video ) I am thinking about selling.
I just did my water pump on my 1994 dodge ram... Was a learning process... In retrosoect... Disconnect both batteries... Then remove the raditor over flow bottle Next take the alternator off. Just the 3 bolts and let it lay out of the way.. no need to remove the wires... Now its easier to get at the water pump... In reteospect. I would install two studs where the water pump bolts on... easier to drop water pump on the studs and run nuts down.... Took me a while. . I didnt remove the alternator until i had problems going back together.... Live and learn Hope some of you might find thid usefull...
i bought the same cartridge for my 330d (bigger fins, not cut on half every second one) its the same as yours. The question is do i need to optimize the ecu to make it work? because i actually lost some power with that cartridge (i did not touch the ecu after instaling that turbo) and the power should be higher than before. btw that is a great video man.
Depending on the year the ecu will adjust it self for miner upgrades. The diesel may be different, I am not to familiar with BMW diesel. I have a Dodge Cummins I put compound turbos on it and you at least need a boost fooler. With a boost fooler it will trick the ecu in adding more fuel. I have videos on the Dodge compounds. Fuel = boost = power, you need enough fuel to spin the turbo.
@@Glennfixthanks for your fast reply. I will definitely chip tune my car an we’ll see what next. is your car chip tuned? is this turbo cartidge still working? how many miles?
I did not chip it. I did the turbos about 90,000 drove it till 140,000and sold it. No problems. I picked up a 2014 750li wrecked with 58,000 repaired it and I using it as a daily driver.
I am currently dealing with my fan being out on my 2015 Sonic. The mechanic quoted me $700 to replace it. I'm definitely not in a position to afford that (along with the AC compressor that also decided to shoot crap right now...by chance have a video on that?). I'll be utilizing your video to walk me through doing this myself. I am, admittedly, a female that is not very mechanically inclined lol Thank you SO much for your video on this! You got a new subscriber!
You can find the fan on Amazon for about $50.00 dollars. If your A/C went out at the same time as your fan stopped working, it is probably not the A/C. The A/C has a high-pressure valve that will let out the freon if the pressure gets too high. This is what happens when the fan stops working. The one you see in the video that is what happened, the A/C stopped working at the same time.. So, after I fixed the fan, I added freon and the A/C worked fine. I do not have a video on replacing the A/C compressor in that car, but I do have a video on how to add freon.

I drove the car for about 50,000 mi after I upgraded the turbos and never a problem. I bought a 2014 750li from Copart and took the body parts off the old one and put on the new one. I sold the car, someone bought it for the engine.
Can't thank you enough for the breakdown on the carrier bearing!! Ive done 100 u-joints in the past but just now running across my first carrier! awesome info! love the video!
😂 I was laughing when he said it's a good time to learn how to weld😅 not at all.! Especially on a vehicle driving around and have an accident because the welds broke. Not safe and not good advice
PAG oil on sticker says PAG 20. Pag oil on the compressor(new one) said PAG 46. So which oil is it ? and no the sticker does not give PAG oil amount either
You need to go with the compressor because it is the only thing that needs oil. Synthetic polyol ester (POE) is used for all 134-A freon. The PAG 46 is an auto-grade oil. 134-A is also used in refrigeration.
Spicer-Great quality Moog-Hot garbage Moog use to be reputable, their product quality has plummeted in the past 4-5 years. Better off buy house brands. Same shit, half the cost. Simply put, all you pay for is the name, now.
Appreciate the info on tightening. Manual for these truck says the spec is 280ft lbs but that sounds excessively tight and requires I torque wrench I dont want to buy. That being said have a part number or anything for the locking nut? Having trouble finding one for the front.
Something is wrong, you must be looking at a different truck or something is different. If you tightening this truck to 280ft you would not be able to drive it. the wheel would not turn. With this one you need to replace the nut with the bearing. It is a locking nut and wont turn once you get it set.
@@Glennfix kind of what I figured as well, like most other people hence the “15 different specs online”, but its for the 2wd front locking nut. 280ft lbs straight out of the manual for the 2002 ram pickup 2500’s. Not sure what they were thinking there either. Wish I could provide a screen shot 😂 I didnt see any back off instructions either
@@GlennfixDon’t have any part number for that locking nut though? Struggling to figure out which one it is at the parts store and cant find it anywhere online for the front other than castle nuts.
Grease can actually eat the compound of the membrane of your BUSHINGS AND MAKE THEM NOT HOLD AS NEEDED. but yes Grease is always a must on lubrication Let us know if I'm wrong with this matter please....and thank you
Can you tell me if this is easily removed from the windshield? I drive on a military base a few times a month. Dash cams are illegal on military bases, you will be asked to remove it from the windshield.
Hey im probably a lil late to comment on here but i have a 92 with hx35 overs400 and i also have an external waist gate from one3 performance. Where do i begin on the tuning
I used the Quadzilla Adrenaline. They have pre-programmed tunes, and you can make them yourself. Google it. There are a lot of tunes people make and share online, everything from track tunes to towing tunes. It is expensive but worth the money.
Glenn, quick question - I broke a bolt on the lower timing cover while doing water pump, it will not come out. Can I remove lower cover only to get bolt out, or do I need to take off everything above too? I don't need my guides done, etc. just need to remove the lower cover if possible. Thanks
You probably have to take everything apart. The top covers push down on the bottom cover. You also have to take the lower oil pan off to get to the bolts on the bottom. If you never took the lower cover off, I would just leave it and see what happens (If it is just one bolt). Usually, you have to use a small amount of pressure to pry the cover off. It should be sealed and will probably be okay, but there is always a chance it will leak.
Why did you take the booster out if you're only changing the master cylinder? Can I just remove the master cylinder while the booster stays on the vehicle?
You can not get just the master cylinder out, it won't fit. You have to remove the hole thing and take it apart once it is out. If someone tells you don't have to remove it this way they never did one.
Yes, do not remove the clip. I will pop out and it is almost impossible to push in. If you remove the clip about the only way you can get it in is to loosen the bolts on the transmission and pull the trans back a little bolt on the slave cylinder and tighten up the bolts. If you replace the clutch this is the way you put it back in.
These days you can buy airbag kits on eBay, Walmart, or Amazon for $160 or less. I am going to put a kit in my F150 and the price was $134 plus tax. I even got a compressor kit with gauge for another $130 plus tax so for about $280 total I have a complete airbag system. I will update after some time to let everyone know how it's holding up.
That's a really good deal for 58k miles. Have you considered replacing the engine in the other car you're scrapping? BMW is selling n63 engines for 4k in the US.
