Just picked up a beautiful Survivor… 1949 dodge deluxe four-door… 37,800 miles… Mint interior… Hasn’t been driven on the road since 1972… Presents beautifully… Love these cars… Super reliable… Back in the 70s I drove my 52 Dodge halfway across Canada and back! We still have that car but the rust demons have attacked it and we have yet to fix it.
If I remember correctly there is a shear pin of some kind on the compressor pulley to keep it from blowing the belt of the compressor seizes. If the pulley spins freely it's because the compressor was taking too much force to spin and it sheared the pin. At least that was my understanding.
Did u just leave the backing plate on and change parking.brake shoes?? I need to replace my friebds backing plate. Is it held on by 4 bolts and do I need to press out bearing in the process of installing a new backing plate that already has new parking brakes attached? Hers is destroyed. Thanks
Given that the system is empty after you replace the compressor, AND the fact that the compressor always runs, I have to assume it's bad to run without a charge as there is insufficient lubrication for the compressor?
You need to check AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve and make sure it works. Compressor can still be good but Solenoid valve is bad.Also compressor on audi are clutchless. Also common problem on audi is pressure switch.
hey brother, how do you check the AC Compressor Control Solenoid Valve? my ac unit is stuck on eco mode for the air and I'm trying to figure out the issue. The garage I went to said I need a new compressor but that doesn't sound right... I was thinking it might be the G switch
I am mechanically inclined and have worked as an engineer aboard navy ships; however, I am not a mechanic. After watching your video, I realize that there will be a significant amount of work to change out the injector cups. There also can be areas where overlooking small things can result in big, unexpected problems. With all that in mind, I'm going to take my time and methodically go through the steps you outlined. So, here goes. I'll let you know how it comes out.
Thanks for the tip your patch job idea was better than mine I was going to replace the whole floor but I think I'll just replace the parts that are bad patch it in thanks.
These are bad for PCV system failure. For some reason coolant is routed through the PCV valve, and is made of plastic. The unit can crack and allow coolant into the oil. You gotta fix it immediately or it'll get ugly fast!
Im replacing my 06 audi a4 quatro oil sender snd it is nit same part. Did the auto parts store find the correct one or did that part with different pins work ok?
The auto parts store asked me which version I had so that prompted me to look for this problem. I would suggest you bring the old sensor to the store with you so you can see if it matches. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
Having an issue where I pressed in new bearing and It came apart? And it had so mutch play to the point where the hub came out the knuckle assembly itself
Don’t forget to isolate the load of the press to only the outer ring of the bearing. If you push against or support only the inner pieces it will break the bearing. Good luck!
It was a challenge for sure, not enough room to swing. For the rear cups I switched to a metal hammer since you can’t hit it very hard. I was still able to hear and feel it bottom out. Good luck!
I like your video ('course I like Cubs), but you really do need to watch a couple of Cub videos; because, the Cub is a MANS tractor not a toy, It was made to work ... give that poor girl some gas. Plus, you need to now that's not a hay mower. The way to cut overgrown grass is with a raised mower (just like your yard) and maybe mow more than once. That ole girl is plenty for that job.
My Great Uncle had one just like it pastel green with a sun visor. He lived to a month shy of his 100th Birthday. He drove it up till about age 95 we use to walk to his house for a visit back in the mid 60's that back seat sure seemed huge to a 5 year old as he drove us home. He had given the car to one of his sons later a grandson wrecked it my brother and I looked to see if we could fix it there was way too much damage.
Come off the clutch and don’t stop in tall grass when u stop sharpening the blades and start with deck up then lower it run the tractor full throttle it’s designed to run like that
