    Major error here. Thicker radiators do not necessarily cool better, big newbie mistake. The radiator may be so thick that by the time the air reaches rear, the air is so hot it can't transfer any more heat. Is this another example of men's preoccupation with size?😁

    Switch was $17 bucks on Amazon. I replaced it in 10 minutes but.. switch was not the problem. I think the motor is the problem. It moves forward and reverse at first and starts to slow and then stops. Wait a few minutes and it does the same again. The problem is finding a motor out there.

    I wish I would've found this video 3 years ago. I have the #871 sniper stealth and it's never run right, if at all. I can't even get mine to idle, and I highly suspect this iac is the cause. I have to open butterflies to even get it to work, and when it does run.....it backfires and dies after 30 secs w no data screen of doom. IDK, I tried calling Holley, but sat on hold forever. I never got anywhere, something always came up and had to hang up unfortunately. Now, I'll try and do this, maybe I can get a hold of Holley, IDK. $1,500 should really get me more than 40 miles in 3 years. I'm not giving up, hopefully this works for me. Thank you so much for making this video! It's the only one I've seen for the stealth including socket sizes and part numbers. You are awesome!!!

    Good effort and good video. Im no professional, just know a little about alot😅. But the first quarter of the vid was a little..not quite correct. The coolant does not flow in the patterns you described for a 2 row or more radiator. The coolant only flows one way across (or down) no matter how many tubes, it doesn't flow back and forth. That's that part, as far as the rest and more rows and larger or smaller rows..thats the big lifelong question for me and many other's. Im trying to figure that out still myself thats why im watching videos😅. Im thinking about getting a 3 row full aluminum to replace my single row stock radiator that just broke. Both are the same width core pretty much (3 row is maybe .05 wider). People say a 2 row is better then a 3 and vice versa. Im wondering is a 3 better then a 1 or is it about the same. Im now realizing radiator debates are like motor oil debates lol. So many different opinions and both make since.

    Crossflow radiators do a better job of shedding heat from the pipes to the fins because the pipes are longer and have more surface area and fin contact. Downflow radiators have shorter pipes and shed less heat, but they can handle higher volumes of coolant. You'll typically see crossflow radiators on passenger gas vehicles and downflow radiators used with diesel engines, especially on commercial vehicles or industrial equipment.

    it would have been helpful if you had actually shown how to adjust the pin. On my car the pin just spins around when you try putting a wrench or socket on it. I'm unable to get it to thread out or in. Also the pin length/gap specification is different for different vehicles. On the 1998 Toyota Tacoma the gap spec is 0 mm.

  • @michaelakers8698
    @michaelakers8698 5 місяців тому

    Why put a relay on it?? you do know that thing you're connecting the cable to on the starter is a starter solenoid. All you have to do is extend your small 12v wire from the key to the small terminal on the solenoid located on the starter. And where your old solenoid was on the fender you put a bus terminal there. And you can connect your battery cable and your other connections and the large cable from your starter there. The bus is so you don't have to extend any other wires from the stock location.

  • @TheReal1953
    @TheReal1953 6 місяців тому

    I read anywhere from .02" - .06". Or a sheet of paper to 1/16" of an inch. Each manufacturer is supposed to publish this spec like Bendix etc, but I'm not finding that in any of the shop manuals. I see people advocate a sheet of paper (which is really like .004"...printer paper, business card like .012") up to 1/16". That's a huge amount of difference. I think if one went with the smaller gap, you'd get less pedal play, but I don't know which gap is usually correct.

    • @ryanmeyer854
      @ryanmeyer854 5 місяців тому

      you should be able to call the Dealer and ask someone in the service/parts department what the gap setting should be for your vehicle. I found the information for mine in the shop manual.and the spec for mine is 0.00. Also when setting the tool by putting it up against the back of the Master Cylinder.....make sure you have your Gasket between the tool and the back of the Master Cylinder. You want to account for the thickness of the gasket.
