I think after '04 GM revised the LIM gasket, but I'll bet they still have those plastic coolant elbows under the alternator. Get the metal elbows and you're set.
Heres what i think is the issue. The mechanical latching relay is going bad. The relay coil could be getting weak, and not pulling in the contacts to start the motor. That hum you heard in the beginning is the relay coil buzzing. You can probably find a relay online. Also id change the capacitor as well. You can go to harber freight and get a volt meter that checks capacitence. I think your issue lies in the latching contactor. Might need replacing.
I'm being told by various sources that this has a replaceable battery. Does it really? I can't find anything that tells me what kind or how to change it. I get the feeling it does not have a replaceable battery.
@@xjoe81x Thank you for the reply! I'm getting a new one. The one I have loses its programming every day or so. Now I wonder how long the batteries last in the models that have replaceable ones.
@xjoe81x I have owned 4 big V8s that went well over 500,000 miles, and the cars were scrapped because the bodies rusted out. I have had three Japanese cars, and they all self destructed before 60,000 miles!
It WILL keep on truckin'. Yeah you had to replace the water pump. They go, what can I say. But the car starts every day, it runs every day, and gets you where you need to go every day. Yes, you had to replace the radiator. Was that due to the overdue water pump? No one can tell. I think it was simply due to age and mileage. They're plastic, as you well know. Plastic doesn't last forever, especially when exposed to heat, especially in an engine bay, with water in the very high 100's as temperature.
You should have let jaykay18 come and have him drill 3 holes with a wind up timer for the microwave and switches similar to the warm rinse options on jaykay18's washers for the fan and the light. That would make there i fixed it microwave 2
Had same exact issue. Thanks to your video and prime 1 day shipping from amazon, I was able to get it back running in a day. I guess hardest part was jump between the wall and washer.
The horns sound backwards for some reason...but I'm not going to mimic that on account of I'm not going to. Yeah that was a _fun_ job. If it weren't for the tight tolerances getting the fans in and out, the job would have gone a lot easier. And if the bolts didn't shear off that would have helped too. But, that's the kind of stuff they DON'T show on TV, but it happens in the real world.
@@xjoe81x In fact, I just watched a video. Some guy that could have passed for someone back at H & R Auto Repair back in Elmont. Had a Toyota Corolla that wouldn't start. Diagnosed it to be a bad fuel pump. That's in the tank obviously. Can be accessed under the back seat. There's a retaining ring, made of plastic, that is like the top to a jar, it screws on. He fought with this ring for nearly half an hour, it was on there super tight for some reason, way tighter than it should have been. The actual fuel pump replacement was 5 minutes. But he kept the camera rolling while he struggled with this ring for half an hour.
I had to make a video on every single one of those items. Imagine that, my backyard could be all lit up with sola...oh right. It really is quite a collection of solar stuff. If you had to buy all that stuff, you would have never spent the money on it. Hundreds of dollars.
@@xjoe81x The roof is occupied with the solar pool heater. THAT works well. Solar panels still have very bad efficiency. They are slowly improving but will never be in a high percentile.
In 2016 you power washed the shed and the walls were kind of rotten then. So this project was already 8 years overdue. The other 2 walls being left, which are now 8 more years rotted, doesn't sit right with me. Yes, it's money. But I feel it's not "done" until that is done as well. The light over the door is really necessary? It adds that much more light when you need it? The shed door holder opener is completely janky at best. Way too much labor to get that to work. And even then it doesn't seem to work right. The problem is you have to consciously be aware the doors might flap around n the breeze, and it's going to happen when you don't expect it, out of nowhere, and there will be paint or handle damage. If you wanted a janky solution, a wooden cleat held on the inside of the door with a screw that could be swung down to the ground would work nicely. But that still doesn't pass my standards. It has to be automatic and just work. Unfortunately that means you will see it. And I'm talking about that magnetic door holder you have on the garage door. You can mount it at the top of the door. Long part on the shed, small part on the door. That way even if you forget, if the wind blows the door to the extreme, it will hold it open, if it blows the other way the magnetic catch will keep it closed. The new color for the shed is brighter and cheerier. I never had a problem with the one big single door like it was. But if that's what you wanted, 2 doors are fine too.
8 years ago, you borrowed my pressure washer and did the shed roof. Besides whatever cracked edges of the shingles, it looked like new. I am sure it could have withstood another washing. The house's roof, I think, would have been better to spend money on, especially now that it doesn't need to be done but should be done. Obviously no roofer is going to do the shed for free, but since he's already there and it's a tiny project and the materials would be on site, it likely would have been cheaper that way. Now if you wanted another roof, well, you sure got one. I like the architectural style shingles myself, that's what's on my house. It's more visually appealing, I think. I have half a brain, but I misplaced the other half. Does that count?
We were in the middle of trying to take down our cement-filled basketball pole and were getting nowhere. We rented a Hilti jackhammer from Home Depot and hoped to get to the bottom of the cement to free up the pole. Ha! We had a big pile of cement pieces, but the pole wasn't budging. So, we went on RU-vid to check out how others did it and found your video. Thank you! We didn't do it exactly how you did because our hole was deep and we couldn't get a saw in there. We used the jackhammer bits to cut into the pole which was about 8" below grade. That made the pole able to finally break off. We then used the jackhammer to break the pole up so that we could get rid of it. Thank you for your helpful video!
I would just go by the book fixing as much as you can clean it up and then decide whether to keep it as a spare or sell it. Maybe run it with a full cycle of bleach and water to clear some of that mess up in the tub. Or perhaps even Tide Washing Machine Cleaner. You do have a point there about why sell it if it's broken. Marketplace can be annoying sometimes with some untrusted buyers. Maybe take it to a local scrap yard if all else fails, might not get much money out of it but maybe a little at least.
@@ItzYaBoyJesse I have 2 parts recorded myself, they won't be seen for some time yet. There's more work to do with it to see what's going on, but not the time to do so.
@@xjoe81x nice!!!! I'm working on my setup and just wanted your input. I have to split my gas line and split my drain but this solved my exhaust question.
