I just bought a 1994 Chevy C1500. I changed my oil and it was leaking. I’ve changed a bunch of things out myself, my trans is leaking I’m praying it’s just the pan…. So is there any downside to changing it yourself? Can you detrimentally mess it up?
When somebody puts or tells you to put dielectric grease directly onto electrical terminals, understand that person is a dipshit and don't listen to them.
Absolute garbage product. I put it on , first coat was fine. Second coat expanded overnight to 1/2" thick and will now need to be chiseled off. Napa makes some lousy products, but this is an entirely new level when you are far worse off then when you started
Dude, you are the BEST instructor ever. No silly background music. No fluff. No opinions. Just facts and sharing the skills so many people need for survival. Thanks and praise.
I remove the bolts from the studs and upon re-assembling a stud I over torque one of the studs with a 6 mm socket, causing the sump pan housing area to break now I got a replace the sump pan. careful cross threading here because it’s tricky and it’s a tight area.
great video! just replaced my wifes on her 2010 that blew. Lexus dealer gave us a discount on parts after telling them the situation/year. This shouldve been recalled but oh well.... Video was super helpful. I would recommend pulling more studs if you have clearance issues. Its easy enough to pop them back in. All in I'd say 1hr-2hr job
Question about AC clutch cycle.. I made R134a conversion with new parts.. (Evaporator is only old part). I also have new R134a pressure switch on dryer. I fill system 8oz PAG150 oil and 2lb R134a refrigerant. System works qnd blows really cold, but clutch cycle is really fast, couple seconds on and couple seconds off.. Is that normal?? Truck is 1990 regular cab with R4 compressor.
Thank you for putting all these in a Playlist on your channel. I subscribed and saved all your videos. Very helpful. Any chance you've got one on how to fix a radiator fan for electric vs clutch fan?
For the torsion bars. They are labeled left and right. Which is passenger and which is driver side? Also, which way does the labeled left and right labeled side go( lower AArm or torsion key)? Thanks
Great video! I am going to dump my oil at 5,000 miles and let them do the oil filter at 10,000 miles. I figure there is no reason the filter needs to be replaced at 5,000 but I don't want to go 10,000 miles between oil changes when I can get oil for like $30.... Juts to confirm, the oil drain plug's torque spec is in ft-lbs and the oil filter housing is in newton meters?
all kinds of people online showing how easy it is with a compresor and air chisel but what about those of us that do not have one or both ...??? or unwilling to buy a tool for one job?
Hey buddy, I'm after some advice. I have a 1995 K1500 5.7 V8 Suburban, which I've had for 13 years. Now here lies to issue. I live in the UK and the truck has been swapped to right hand drive. And recently my indicators or turn signals should I say are not working, but my hazard light do. Would you be able to shed some light on the issue, its not a fuse and I can not seem to locate the relay for the turn signals. Would you know where this is located as I sure as hell can not find it !! Thanks in advance.
After the abs system in my 1994 Chevrolet tried to kill me three separate times I bypassed everything and was glad I did. It felt like something was lodged under the brake pedal when I had to apply the brakes quickly. I got the truck in late 1993 and over the course of a few years learned there were braking issues with this vehicle. By late 1997 I had seen enough. The truck is currently getting restored. The ABS system will not be part of the efforts.
Do you have any thoughts on how to flush out the remaining 1-2 quarts of dirty/used fluid in the trans-cooler behind the radiator? Otherwise, would that not contaminate the clean fluid added to the pan? Thanks
Do these heater cores tend to leak antifreeze? I have a leak and though it was the hose but I checked and no holes and even bought a new clamp same issue maybe this is my issue?
What can be the problem if you can’t get power when you turn the key and nothing happens. No light on the dash and no crank. Like nothing happens at all ????
