By modern vehicles do you mean cvt transmissions, they might be easier to fill but you have to replace them 4x as often, even if you take great care of them
Put a new engine in at 235k. 2003 Escape 😅 i know, I know. Needs a new tranny. But ive changed stuff in modern cars up to 2021 and its the same thing. Easier and less guess work. Just fill till it pours out the side.
@@McAdamsMechanics here is the problem when you get your car your brand new it’s preferred to change the transmission oil at 30k then you gonna count to another 60k thats 90k then all the way up to 150 and 60 that’s the last time you do oil change for the transmission you don’t change it and you don’t flush it and you for sure don’t clean up the debris inside because that actually held the transmission, it’s not the other way around. It’s not damaging the transmission so if you flushed all that debris, the buildup of so many years of so many driving. You probably broke that transmission and you’re gonna start having slip off in gears .
@@RealX-Benz My man. I know about cars. I appreciate you tryna help. I bought this car for pennies on the dollar. Ive changed parts, the transmission has leaked, and seals needed replacing. So Im balancing out the fluid levels. It doesnt slip in the slightest. Runs like a clock. Just trying to get the right transmission level on older cars can be a pain. Per the manual: drive it 20 miles, stop. Change through all the gears, park in N with E-brake on, check fluid. Add or take out if needed. Thats not the point. Still gotta get the level right. The point is on modern cars its none of that. Its just fill till the stuff leaks out.
My 2005 Lariat is having similar problem, at around 45mph and trying to accelerate, it has a bad stutter until i let off the gas and slowly reapply it. I was thinking fuel injectors or spark plugs and coils. Looks like plugs and coils first 👍
I’m actually confused on this subject and don’t see anybody with real info on it, just assumptions. Color doesn’t mean jack, it gets this dark inside of 15k miles…as a truck driver I know that most trucks are done every 300k miles even 350k so I’m thinking 100k on cars is fine but again, it seems like nobody actually knows. If 350k is fine on a semi I don’t think 100k will hurt a car.
What I was saying but didnt get out well is that if you send a weak signal out to all the sensors, and then you get a weak sensor back, the computer only registers you get weak signals back. So it alerts you that "hey theres an issue with this sensor" as bad components generally send back weak signals. Its called a closed circuit to send and recieve the signal. In this case its just the battery being too weak to send good signal out, so it gets bad in return and trips warnings.
@@tylerb3023 I used anti seize for many years never had a problem but I have also used grease as well Also I don’t use a shit ton of anti seize on it always just enough
I wish I had leverage or surface to pry on, I’ve tried the vice grip method, hammering it outwards, heating it up , soaking it in pb, screaming fuck 50 times , and back to hammering it Fucker hasn’t budged a bit 2006 Lexus Es 330 passenger side cv is a motherfuck to get out especially when it’s factory with over 200k on it. I believe it’s one with the transmission at this point
Update, I’m gonna weld a plate to the axel housing for more pry surface. If all else fails I will machine my own puller/slide hammer I also tied a metal cable to the cv and the other end to a 10 pound sledge and that acted as a slide hammer but I snapped the steel cable somehow smh
@@RoadHeros610 yes it was the spark plug. This was the Triton engine so the plugs are made of horrible material that shatter super easy. If youre gonna do your own plugs, plz research until you are blue in the face or itll cost you thousands.
@@McAdamsMechanics so what I have had done , I bought this truck from a tow yard a one owner truck belonged to a woman since 05 5.4 lariat 3v I had my mechanic pull plugs and coil and cleaned them and replaced ,he did not how ever change switch the plug not coul toba different cylinder 😞did not tell me this until later I use a launch scanner the first couple of scans it showed a cylinder 3 misfire only under load 45 mph accelerating the cel would blink but not stay illuminated scan tool would show it pending .. last nite I did a couple of aggressive pulls from stand still and driving at 45 mph it would buck surge but still no cel I ran scan again no it says no dtc on either of my scanners jus emission monitors not finished .. cat and evap .. I'm stumped I was thinking injector only based on my Touareg which had load misfire only in 1 cylinder I switched injector it it's been fine ever since .. but these trucks are so different .. idk what to do .... My apologies for such a long text .. thank you however
@@RoadHeros610 hard to say from the text. If you switch the plug between two cylinders it can move the misfire then you know. If you switch coil and it moves then its coil. Can be fuel injector or a misfire due to a bad cylinder. Catalytic converter can throw misfire too. So. Lots of things can be wrong to cause a misfire. You arent able to pull plug?
This is nothing compared to my 2006 Golf 2.0 BKD At the moment. There’s at least 4cm of soot all the way through the exhaust , I reckon there’s at least 2 cups full of it lol. Not sure what the issue is though been told it’s a turbo but £1800 to get fixed nearly Put me into a coma 😂
Ha ha that’s cause you have a shitty operator loading. Your truck doesn’t matter anyway I’m sure that truck is more than capable of handling that baby load and tilting.
from Leo; That is what happens when an under built gearcase needs to have the oil changed on a regular basis but their is no way to drain and refill it. Very poor design.
I just had the cup stuck in transmission on the passenger side of my 06 Ridgeline, the boot pulled off. I couldn't get a bite with a pry bar or screw driver. After wiping out the grease,I put the axle back in the cup, clamped a vice grip on the cup and pulled the axle like a slide Hammer against the vice grip. It popped it right out!🎉
@@aidanplayz1339 ive also used locking pliers to tightly hold onto the bolt in the middle while I screw the nut off at the end. You can clean the end of the bolt off so its not as rusty and apt to get stuck again
I wish I had to cut mine off in the piece is still stuck in the transmission. I can't get that SOB out for nothing and I think I just broke my hand with a hammer
Great video; I was really worried when a friend pushed the emergency brake to the max and it would not release. Your advice was spot on! Thanks; looking forward to more of your videos!
Correction! To be more specific: It’s a broken cannoootin valve which is part of Martie’s flux capacitor. Ya gotta be precise with this here mechanical stuff!
