I service one that has 342k and still runs like new

2006 silverado.....4.8 432000. No issues at all.

My buddy has a 2005 that he bought brand new with the 6.0l. He has 450k miles and he's a contractor, so it's been loaded up with a couple thousand pounds of tools since he bought it. It's rusting out (Chicago area), but the motor/trans are still good. He changes the oil every 3k miles.

@@carloscolon198 I do not believe it is

Apparently, your lack of listening skills contribute to a really silly comment. I took the plastic cover off. It’s not that things get in from the outside that plastic gear overtime has a tendency to sheer teeth and strip out. Hands that’s where the debris come into place and then those debris can cause it to jam up. You seriously need to watch the video before you get excited to go to the comment section and try to talk crap.

@@leonkurtz1933 The throttle body that I showed in the video was for an example of how they’re building them. It’s actually quite new out of a 2015. Depending on the usage of the car, you will get different failure rates. It seems like you are running a lot of highway miles. I would think in a transport business that would actually mean less wear on a throttle body if it’s consistently staying at highway speeds versus an every day car that has stop and go traffic to deal with under certain conditions. I’m not an engineer myself, but in my line of work I run into cars that need repairs so I see a bunch of pattern failures. When I have a failed part I always try to figure out why that part failed and the past couple years I’ve had more than enough throttle bodies coming into my shop where the plastic gears are either rounded out or sheared, causing throttle body issues. The driving style and driving pattern can definitely change the wear on these items also the state in which you live in. There’s a lot of factors like temperatures and things of such. I have a good friend of mine that wrenches down in Arizona and he tells me he sees a lot of stuff melting due to extreme heat on their roadways and their state.

@@JPM788212 I took the cover off to show people the gears and it’s not about stuff getting in there. It’s about the gear shearing off and stripping. Plus a lot of people are under the assumption that the ECM is going to turn off the vehicle. That’s actually not true and ECM cannot turn off a vehicle. They can only limp it if anything due to safety concerns because how would you feel if your computer falsely identify something and turns your vehicle off in the middle of the highway doing 80 miles an hour That would cause an accident

I see these gears on these strip out often I don’t need to understand design parameters to know it’s crap when the come I with stripped gears often bud!

😂😂😂😂

Glad I could help out!

I am not an engineer. I’m showing how companies are cheaping out I don’t care how great plastic is you should never have that in vital engine components.

You don’t need to be an engineer to know this is shit brother. They’ve been trying this crap for years in different areas with the exact same results, stripped gears 😂

@@biometal770 exactly I’m glad somebody understands where I’m coming from. The comment section for this video is crazy people support plastic. You’d be surprised.

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic I see this! So many people seem to be on board with these plastic components, yet have no idea what they are talking about. Like this guy above, asking if you are an engineer. What he clearly does not know is that, to be a good mechanic these days, it requires an engineer level amount of knowledge.

@@biometal770 exactly well thank you for your support brother. I appreciate it!

@@davidmeyer7511 it wouldn’t jam up from breaking off like plastic would.

Use a degreaser like super clean diluted with water to clean the engine bay with water as well. The belts may need to be replaced possibly but first stem is to clean the engine bay.

😂😂😂😂 take a closer look

I know there’s many types of plastics for many types of use case scenarios and that’s great but they could at least not use plastic in a vital engine component. That’s all I’m trying to say, but I understand we’re gonna be in the world of plastic cars soon

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic You are assuming the gear will fail simply because it's plastic and not metal. You realize that the engineers realize it's a vital component, there are DFMEA reviews for the gear/material, right? There might be a FS of 2 or higher on those gears.

@furyfantoo you might wanna contact the Chrysler engineers because they shear the plastic gear all the time I’ve had repeated cars come in the shop with stripped gears and most Chrysler models

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic Maybe they are using a different plastic than all the other plastic.

You are likely correct.

I took the cover off to show the Nylon gears inside the plastic gears can break and wear causing a jam are you that daft?

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic Is that gear nylon? What is the material symbol molded into it?

I didn’t look at it there weren’t any specific markings on it

Metal gears would outlast plastic and plastic don’t self lubricate smh 🤦

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic Search Google for POM or Acetal plastic. They make gears out of it because it self lubricates.

​@@TheEnthusiastMechanicThere are literally lubricant impregnated plastics.

I work in the rust belt I deal with several frozen axles in bearings and bearings into the hubs. You missed the point of the video where it’s about how does this design work in the long term? How much can it handle? For example I don’t care how easy it can be to replace them if I have to replace it 3 times a year if the design doesn’t hold up like the traditional bearings.

Noted!

When I looked up the specs, I had a similar thought, but that’s what it called for. I checked it among two different references, and it was the same process.

Noted

Actually, you’re wrong engineers do have requirements from governments to build things to a certain extent, but at the end they have the final design they could’ve came up with some thing less crappy to say the least

Hey Captain obvious I know there’s a cover on there. You clearly see it in the video. I took it off to show people the internals of this, but thank you for pointing it out for those people that couldn’t see it apparently. The whole point of me removing the cover is to show people the plastic internal gears that they’re using on throttle bodies nowadays I think you missed that point . Secondly, I’d like to add that your flyback signal never heard of that not actually a term come on guy basic mechanics! The computer does have a TPS sensor in the throttlebody that determines the throttle position and a pedal sensor at the gas pedal and uses those two signals however it cannot shut the car down. I really don’t know your expertise on this but you’re clearly wrong on that because if the signals weren’t matching up and your car shut off in the middle of the highway while you’re doing 80 because of a quick signal error, you’d be in a car crash that’s not a good thing so you’re really wrong on that one. The computer uses those two signals to determine if it has a correct input it could throw the car into limp mode, but again limp mode is not shut down. It’ll still have acceleration. I think you really missed the point of this video. It was me talking about manufacturers being cheap in the manufacturing process using plastic gears on the devices like this, even though there are built-in parameters to try to help with situations like this it’s still a really bad design you missed the point of the video and decided to just come on here and try to show off but you don’t really know what you’re talking about Guy make sure you do your research cause I don’t just pull crap out of thin air and talk about it FYI

I think you missed what I was trying to say I’m not saying it’s odd to be a hub bearing. I know those I’ve been around forever and I love the designs. I’m talking about the changeover from traditional spline shaft to the gear face interface. That’s the part that I was referring to not the actual hub wheel bearing.

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic Ahh yes see. It is a little odd.

@@berniebello2269 I don’t remember the exact DTC, but it was the one with the slow response. That was the definition slow response from oxygen sensor.

Welcome to the channel!

Good luck on it and be careful not to cut yourself. It can be kind of sharp inside of the door with all the metal in there.

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic Thanks! I was able to escape with only one small knick at my left wrist.

@@wonsontastic9204 that’s pretty good. I’ve gotten off a lot worse before but it’s all right. It’s a part of the job.

If I don’t know, I don’t know I make a video and then sometimes I get to learn a thing or two as well thank you for the comment and the information

I work in an automotive factory with many engineers. I promise you, 95% of them are complete morons who lack every bit of common sense and every day I wonder how did they manage to hold on to their jobs for 20+years and in general how did they manage to survive our your their shoes in the morning. Their jobs these days is mostly trying to find a supplier that will make the same part cheaper, and when the party is eventually off sub par quality, how to make the old tooling still build acceptable parts

Even though it’s not good at all, I do agree I’d rather have oil in the coolant because the other way around you will usually destroy your engine if you wash out a bearing

@@TheEnthusiastMechanic 100 percent.. best thing to do is not buy a Subaru 😂
