Don't do it at home? Wish I had a cozy shop! Just got $996 in +A Ford Performance swag, it's 41 degrees and I'll do most of it in the driveway! The $100's I'll save is going towards a rebuilt TR3650!! Thankful for my wrench chops.
This is ridiculous, removing the engine to get to the core, Cadillac designers are stupid or what, I will junk that car in a minute, I’m glad to know that so I don’t buy a Cadillac.
I spent over 500 on a entire new air conditioning compressor Accumulator low pressure switch and high pressure switch of course recovering the R134A vacuumed the system down over night with it holding I hooked up my manifold gauges and put 32 ounces of R134A and 8 ounces of pag 150 in. Come to find out my evaporator needs a A/C temperature sensor. I won't be fixing it. You can buy another Cadillac cheaper than the expenses of the evaporator installation. I hate it because my 1998 Cadillac is the Concours edition 300 horsepower high output 4.6 with Bucket seat's with console shifter has all E&G simulated convertible top with sunroof and rear luxury trunk rack with the Cadillac stock upgraded 16 inch all chrome rims. Cadillac should have made it a rear wheel drive car.
The owner must really love that vehicle, because that's an outrageously expensive repair, plus the parts, holy shit! I was quoted $6500 to replace mine, with a used motor, 2 wheel drive. Bad engineering on the drivers side head, they call it the dead head, 7 and 8 have lost the valve guides, because the cooling system has a dead end .
i pissed off the boss today so now i have to change the engine in a navigator,, instead of a hot assistant i get to work with a grouchy old guy who insists it's faster to pull it out the top
I bet you charge a arm and a leg for this job / I will be doing a 2013 f150 and a 03 Escalade helping out family and friend. Cus auto mechanic chop charge a fortune for this . 👌😀
6:33 I bet that is the goof that owns this 135k car with only one or two oil changes... Look how stupid he looks in that Gray pullover and Green collar shirt... Guys that is what a LOOSER looks like...
135k miles on a 3 year vehicle??? Holy smokes!!! Somebody's been travelin'... That's about 45k miles a year. That's about 15 trips from coast to coast (in the US) per year.
A $39.95 oil change every 5,000 miles would have cost the owner of this car a little over $1,000 over three years. Instead they get to fork out probably almost three times that much for this. Something tells me they probably haven't learned....
Would it not be easier to just replace the cams, cam adjusters, lifters, and valves? I'm assuming for this 4 banger it wouldn't be too expensive, or was that above the customer's budget?
i know someone who had an oil change once at 15,000 miles waited 40,000 miles before getting another oil change done and the filter and the pan and everything was leaking out from every where
