Hope it helped!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

They're both Lennox units.

Sorry that didn't work out for you. I've chatted with my buddy the car owner and he had some advice. He said almost all the OTHER parts he used on his 2022 C8 were AGM, and he didn't realize they had a front fascia until after he ordered it from Jogon, which is what was used in this video. He was fairly unhappy with the AGM parts; bad fitment, thin carbon fiber, easily breakable. The Jogon part was a little better but still needed adjustments and customer service. Even so, the cameras were never quite right. Since this video, he has traded in the 2022 C8 and got a 2024 Z06. I have a video of us doing some carbon fiber on the rear bumper of that one, and he used EOS parts for that, and the rest of the car too. He feels EOS is the best of the three, but even though he feels it's the best bang for the buck, it's still not OEM and nobody's perfect so there were still adjustments to be made. He's much happier though. He recommends: return your part to AGM with the workorder from the dealer stating it didn't fit and get your money back. Try the EOS part in the link in the description and see if that works out better for you.

@@hangtime_31 Will do. Thanks for the reply.

Hey, thanks!

Hi! This was in northern Phoenix, just south of the town of Cave Creek. Good luck on your project! 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

Really?

I was pretty lucky in my case I suppose, only one at a time went out. In your case, I would continue to troubleshoot, perhaps move one of the new ones over to the other two lights that were dim, one at a time. If none of that works, there's a control module that could be the culprit. Did you see the note in the description about calling KitchenAid and asking them about their Technical Service Pointer bulletin? You might get lucky.

That's a bummer. When you installed the filter, did you adjust it by spinning while watching the video to "tune out" the glare?

I would love that myself, but I'm not aware of anything like that, sorry!

Glad it helped! 👍

A wifi card will normally get a little warm during use. It's super hard to diagnose stuff without being able to put my eyes and hands on it, but ... if the wifi card was fried, then plugging in an ethernet cable with a reliable connection to the internet should bypass the wifi card and hook you up. I did this when working on this particular Inspiron in the past in order to get internet while waiting for the new wifi card to arrive. I would make a mental checklist of things to check and verify, then start going down it until I hit on the problem. Good Luck!

I hope they are able to get it sorted out for you. Thanks for your comments!

@@hangtime_31 I did it with help from the internet. It appears connection is easier when you turn off 5G a d use 2.4. it's all working now thank you.

Thanks for watching, and appreciate the detailed advice. The rotor instructions specifically said Do Not Use Brake Parts Cleaner! So we didn't. Thanks again!

@@hangtime_31 I just did front rotors on our Lexus too. It was coated and I did use the cleaner. I probably should not have but they seem fine. They are now shiny metal. Has your dull finished stayed in tact? I could imagine it wearing off over time and braking. Ours had not rusted yet but it's only been 2 weeks. No big deal if it does. It's iron so fairly inevitable. You did a great job and saved a lot of money. Thanks for posting.

@@MOAB-UT The coating is intact except where the brake pads make contact. I'm hoping the coating will keep the rust at bay, and braking action will take care of it where the pads are.

@@hangtime_31 Ok, thank you. Arguably, that area that the pads make contact is the most significant and most important part. In that case, I don't feel so bad for having cleaned mine with brake cleaner. If the main surface area no longer has protection, that coating is little more than marketing hype. Funny though, the area did not come off when I sprayed it. Only after driving so I think it is from the pads to. Not so sure I want all that coating embedded in my pads. Initially stopping power was ok, but not great. I think it's better now. Did you experience that too- almost like the rotor was more slick? Whatever that material coating is made of can't be beneficial to braking. I would take grip over a little rust.

@@MOAB-UT Yeah, the coating under the pads is designed to be worn off during the break-in process. Before that was completed, it would make a nasty rubbing noise if/when you came to a full stop. Once the pads and rotors were fully broken in and the coating was gone, the brakes performed as expected.

Excellent! Keep the blue side up! 👍✈️

One piece / two piece rotors? The OEM ones we took off seemed to be one piece but I'm not a mechanic so I'm not familiar with what you're talking about.

@@hangtime_31 the f sports mostly come with two piece rotors hence why it was 1500$ for a brake job …. I can see you installed cheap one piece rotors on there.

@@josueramirez-gt5ny hm. The early worn out OEMs seemed to be in one piece when I removed them, so that's why I don't understand what you're saying.

@@hangtime_31 please search up what a 2 piece rotor is and then hopefully you’ll understand why it cost 1500$ to do front brakes

@@josueramirez-gt5ny Are you talking about two rotors separated by an internal spacing for cooling and such?

His aftermarket rotors will make noise in 6 months

That's a whole nuther can of worms. I trust the dealer to (usually) do it right, but they're unnecessarily expensive since they have to pay for that nice waiting room where they make an omelet for you. I trust Jiffy Lube to be cheap, therefore more risk of doing stuff not to spec. I'm at a spot where I'll either do it at the dealer or do it myself so I know what's been done to it.

@@josueramirez-gt5ny Doing quite well so far, thanks! In the "for what it's worth" category, my neighbor said he's had really nasty squeals with the ceramic rotors on his new Corvette and his wife's new Audi, so I guess it's all a mixed bag.

@@hangtime_31 yeah because they have performance brake pads it’s normal to have brake squeal from factory.

Ugh, installers. This spring I helped a neighbor with his A/C spring cleaning. He lives one street away. We have the same builder, same model of home, even. Checked his capacitors and cleaned the units. He also had one of his contactors without a cover. I gave him one of mine from my spares. I'm wondering why the installer is taking them. Looking for future repair calls? Did you replace your own or hire someone?

@kjm-ch7jc Our local Home Depot has a lithium battery drop-off, and it goes into a steel container, which seems safer than anything I could do. So ... that's where we take our old lithium batteries. Thanks for watching!

I totally agree, there should be technology built into these batteries to detect and alert you very early when they begin to go bad and start to swell. It's a fire hazard, it needs to be addressed. Thanks for watching!

All rechargeable batteries have a life limit unfortunately….. It’s a good catch you made there and it shows how one problem can lead to another seemingly unrelated..👍🏻👍🏻

We had a pretty decent Lexus service advisor when we first bought the car - then we moved. Now it's a bummer, the new one seems to want to slam us for everything. Thanks for watching!

Brakes are good. They started to get a squeak after a week or so, but a run through of the break-in process got rid of that. Been great ever since then. Thanks for watching!

Hey! I never thought you'd actually see my video! This was a great learning experience for me, and now that it's over, when (not if) an A/C unit goes out and it's the likely capacitor or contactor problem, I feel I can get it online again very quickly, then just order replacement spares for the next time. July in Phoenix is NOT the time or place to wait three days for an A/C tech to show up! Your website was THE best for finding what I needed, a lot of precise technical specs and OEM parts made it an easy choice for me. The next time I need parts you are my new "go to" source. Thanks for watching! 👍

Yup. The TA wouldn't have been impressed if they didn't match!

Right? Thanks for watching!!

Excellent job! Looks better than new 😁👍🏻

Thanks, the TA loves it!

Congrats on your future purchase! Thanks for watching!

​@hangtime_31 how big of a roll of wrap did you use?

size and handy link in the video description for your convenience 🤙😁👍

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching! Good luck on your journey as well!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching! 👍

The shim kits were included. If the pads start squealing, the instructions that came with my kit said to run through the break-in procedures again. Hope that helps!

Dude! We studied your RC350 front brake and rotor video extensively (and repeatedly) before attemping (and while doing) this project. Watched the rear brake video on another model you did as well, and although ours aren't electrical, it was helpful. You were a HUGE help!! Thanks for what you're doing. I never imagined myself doing this task, nor that you'd see my video, let alone comment. Cheers!!

@@hangtime_31 i thought it looked familiar. Good video glad it helped!

😂😂😂

@@harborareatech310 Hey, got a question for you. I'm in a couple of Lexus RC groups on FB and several of us have a situation like my TA has - she might only put 500 miles on her RC in six months, but the manual says change at 5k miles or six months, whichever comes first. Seems silly to change the nearly new oil at 500 miles in six months, but what would you say is a good guideline in her case??

@hangtime_31 According to the manufacturer, the oil change on RC-F is required every 5k miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. For the regular RC models, it is required every 10k miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, but even though the manufacturer states every 10k I recommend to do it every 5k or 6 months whichever comes first. If your vehicle is only driven 500 miles in 6 months, I don't think it would hurt if you don't do it right away. I would say drive it more! If you can't maybe once a year would be fine

Thanks for the info!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for Watching!

It sure is!
