Hey, I have a 1979 lock just got restored I just have to paint it eventually can’t wait to use it this summer. I used to have a 1942 but I need to find an engine for it does anybody have one engine🙏👍🇺🇸👏 and they were made right here in Bridgeport Connecticut.
Sir I want to thank you. I follow your video instructions. I was able to remove my Bedknife screws and rethread my screw hole. I sanded it down and put the knife back on. Thank you again.
ur lucky, i bought a mdx 2007 thinking it had 127k milage turns out the dealer odometer back rolled my car i got it for 4.5k on carfax its actuall milage is 228k, but it has no accidents or nothing its well maintained no scratches nothing wrong i think it will last me a good while what u think?
I have an 02 touring about to hit 211,000 miles. Bought it almost seven years ago with 120,000 on it for $6,500. Drove it from NJ to Northern Arizona for school and this car was beyond reliable in any snowstorm and on most old Forest Service roads. It truly shocked me at times thinking 'I'm definitely getting stuck' but nope haha. I'm not an expert car guy at all; I change the oil every 3-5 thousand miles, I have flushed the transmission and break fluid with a turkey baster a couple times, replace the rotors, calipers and break pads when needed, replaced a sway bar, replaced the alternator and timing belt (hardest thing I've done but there are tons of youtube vids), and got new tires when needed. The transmission got slightly jumpy around 180,000 miles, and my buddy did something to fix it (have no clue what he did, but definitely did not rebuild it entirely) but since then there have been no issues with it. The interior is so spacious also, I have removed the backseats and have a sleeping platform and storage space. I love this car and this video just inspired me to keep it going, maybe one day i'll reach the 400k club! Only thing is my Nav screen has blacked out, I tried replacing the fuse no luck. If anyone has tips on that let me know haha.
One of the best vehicles I’ve ever driven in the rain. Something about the tactility of the old school power steering system, the heft of the MDX and its squarish stance combines to give it a sure footed feeling I enjoy. Similar or bested by another of my favorite Honda’s, a v6 Crosstour.
As a single mother who just got Acura MDX with 188K miles on it. This video gave me so much hope as I am not planning to get another vehicle for a while. Please share your tips of how you maintained it to keep it running for this long. Thanks for this video!!
Valve adjustment, timing belt, new tube seals, new valve cover gasket, new egr valve, deep carbon removal in intake manifold and egr port. I’m sitting at 289,400k miles. These repairs are crucial to go to 300,000 and above
Awesome video. The shifter rods on my tru cut are loose. They engage the clutch for the reel and wheels, but the rod becomes disengaged and I find myself holding it down more often. How do I fix the shifter levers so they lock when engaged? I can’t find anything on that
original transmission no rebuilds? in that video of it hitting 400k miles it seems like overdrive doesn’t work because at 80mph it was at 3k rpm. my mdx is usually at 2200k at 80mph cruising
Love these! I had one and when I sold it it had 225k and didn't burn oil or ever leave stranded. Didn't realize they had timing belts though. First gen mdx were extremely reliable in my opinion. They are surprisingly capable doing light off roading too!!
I've got a 2004 with 302k and when i bought it it had 160k on it and people ask "What do you do to make your car last so long" and usually tell them "drive slow and always change your fluids on time" but i never do that. Im always really late when it comes to fluids and belts. I don't fix belts after every said miles. I fix them when they broke. And I didn't change the oil when the light came on. I changed the oil when i looked down and realised i was 10k over a oil change. And driving it slow? Yeah that's not me. Im a 18 kid and i treat it like it's a racecar on trackday. But somehow I can still climb in it and crank it up and drive with no problems. It's actually making me wonder what's keeping this car from falling apart
That’s a huge testament of Honda’s build quality. These are cars you can beat on over and over and have next to no issues with, unless you have the 5 speed auto trans. Those were known to be pretty problematic.
I’m relatively new to the game and I have accumulated a relatively decent amount of mineral, where can I take it to have it refined or who buys raw gold in Georgia?
I bought 2007 MDX unfortunately the previous owner neglected the maintenance, I loved the car I’m currently doing all the fixing things on it and it has 150k miles only
I have an 2004 MDX. I hear a click from the front when the car changes thrust direction, especially after driving and going into reverse. Could it be the axle?
I saw an article with this car with over 900k miles. If only it didn't have transmission issues www.thedrive.com/the-hammer/8749/acura-mdx-with-a-jaw-dropping-946252-miles-the-drives-daily-mileage-champion
How many transmissions you been through? Be honest. Dump the pointless, heat holding engine cover btw. We have a 2002 MDX at 240k. Trans was acting up near 165k (noises, poor shifts,etc). Stopped using Honda trans fluid and went with full syn trans fluid and no more issues. AVOID their crappy trans fluid, it's not paired with the actual trans, just a fluid they schlep for some ungodly price (of course). Also: check valves every 80-100k. Exhaust valves usually get tight (mutli misfire codes).
It should. the one in the video and anything around early 2000s had many problems. This guy in the vid is just lucky. 3/5 chance of transmission failure for his year.
