Replacing Gas Struts 101 (Any lift gate, hood, or topper glass's) done on a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
The rules for replacing any gas struts on any vehicle is the same, measure the struts for your application, remove old struts by uncliping the ball socket ends of th struts, then snap the new struts in place. This job is super easy and wouldn't take 5 minutes with someone holding the hood, topper glass, or liftgate up!
For anyone else with a similar vehicle to mine for the liftgate struts, here is the link for them on Amazon!

Toyota Avalon Fuel Door Won't Open Spring Hinge Replacement (Maybe a different P/N on other models!)

    • @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN

      @aniruddhagujar4119 that would be too much IMO. -1 in the front is the biggest gain only changing one tooth, enough to make my.speedometer 7% off. Doubling that and also increasing the rear by 4 would make the bike whine in higher rpms at almost any normal riding speed. I think -1/+2 would be sufficient if I wanted just a little more umph on the throttle pull.

    • @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN
      @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Місяць тому

      @jasonsmith4243 the factory grill seal on mine butts up to the bottom of the curve in the bug shield. If you don't have a grill seal at all, the help would be that the curve at the bottom of the bug guard swoops down a little past the top edge of the grill itself. That might help with deflecting rain in your case. Hard to say as I haven't tested it in the rain without a grill seal to say fornsure if more or less water gets in. Maybe someone with your same scenario might reply though!

    Cool stuff. Your intro explanation about why this can happen is probably what happened on my taco. It's factory lifted BUT my wife got tires bigger than factory spec. Usually we drive it slow. A month or so ago I took it around a corner fast to get into traffic and the light came on and never went away. Now I'm suspecting it was the larger tires combined with the quick turn that set off the VSC. I'm going to find a wire and give this a shot.

    • @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN
      @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Місяць тому

      @kvasir119 it sure surprised me the 1st time it happened too!

  • @MissKheryna95

    So I actually just got this, plugged it all in but it smelt very strongly of fuel, is this due to the many times of trying to previously start it the days prior? I got to scared and just plugged the normal fuses back in. I read other comments on a different video claiming it can cause a fire so being inexperienced i decided I’d do more research before keeping it plugged in 🤣 needless to say this 10000% fixed my problem, and it started right up, just the smell threw me off

    • @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN
      @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Місяць тому

      @MissKheryna95 I couldn't say what your issue would be with smelling excessive fuel. I've only had the issue of smelling fuel when I had an evap leak, but a check engine light was on for that at the time. If your system is sealed as it would normally be, you won't smell fuel. I don't think it has anything to do with previously trying to start it while having this TIPM fuel pump relay problem. I'm glad this did fix your issue. I haven't heard of this adapter causing any fires. The seller has a disclaimer not to leave this on forever but to use it as a temporary fix, the only problem is the only other fix is buying a new TIPM module and having it installed; costing nearly $3k total, and that new TIPM module will have the exact same relay that went bad over time just like the current one. I've been running this adapter kit ever since I made this video and have had no problems. As I believe I explained to one other person who said the fuel pump kept running after they shut the vehicle off: it will do that until all the standby power shuts off when you open the door (like the radio running until you open the door). That's normal with this adapter because of where it taps into power for the fuel pump. It literally just means if you turn the van off and just sit in the van, the fuel pump will continue running, which you will be able to hear unless you have your stereo volume up as loud as I do! Hope this helps!

In my experience I didn't get a chance to see it not work then try again, mine worked the very 1st time, which I was recording as I did it in my video.

    If I buy thru amazon and start the job only to find it's already been replaced (I'm not the original owner) is it eligible for a refund through amazon? It does state that it has the usual amazon 30 day return/refund policy. I'm assuming if not opened or used I could return it?

    Hmm...Mine Tacoma is a 2014, which should be the same (Gen 2). The fuse is still in the same place, but my relay is labeled "AI VALVE". Apparently that is "air injection valve" and doesn't sound like something I would want to jack with. I don't see any other ones labeled "FOG". Any ideas?

    • @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN
      @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN 2 місяці тому

      @robkreisel your gen 2.5 has the secondary air pump which mine does not have so that's the relay yours is referring to. I don't know why yours wouldn't have a fog light pickup spot unless yours in a base model SR, which doesn't come factory with fogs like mine did. You can tap into a source that gives power with the ignition being turned on as well, its not technically an "anytime" fog mod since the only time it works is if you have the key turned forward but it can be a nice safety feature if you feel like you might forget to turn the fogs off and drain the battery, but I'm not worried about that. You might need to look at the fuse diagram I linked for your 2014 below and see where you can pull from for yours since it's not the same as mine but it's basically the same concept: www.startmycar.com/us/toyota/tacoma/info/fusebox/2014

      @@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Mine is a TRD Off Road and came with factory fogs. I just replaced them with Baja Designs Squadron lights. Super bright. I actually used ChatGPT to dig in a bit and think I have some ideas. There is a relay labeled "HEAD" which AI suggested may incorporate the fogs, and another relay labeled "DIM" which is for high beams. Since the fogs typically go out when HBs are on, I bet I could use that relay to bypass that function and keep the fogs on. I kind of like the idea of the fogs only being on if headlights are on, but want them to stay on with HBs if possible. But I don't know the wiring details of either the DIM or HEAD relays.

      @robkreisel it's way harder to figure those out without wiring diagrams. I've done some more complicated aftermarket wiring for things like automatic master switch, and plan to do 4Runner mirrors which is gonna take some doing. I hope you're able to easily figure it out and sorry I don't have a better idea on your wiring setup!

      @DavidBalser-g6k I haven't heard of anyone saying they had to change the method but I did mention in the video that sometimes it takes more than 8 times to reset but if you saw the dash lights do the same thing mine did then it reset. Another person; gomez, replied and said theirs was in left turns too and this method worked for them. Maybe you have an issue with a wheel speed sensor wire getting pulled in left turns.

    Thanks Sean . I believe that axle seal you are showing is for the passenger side . I just ordered the kit and asked for a passenger side seal to be sent with the kit because I'm changing out both axles also . So I have the same part number on my second seal that is separate from the kit .thanks for the video its very detailed . It will be very helpful next weekend

    Useful video. was wondering why you chose to mount it behind the bumper grille instead of mounting it outside the grille, where the light wouldn’t be blocked. Maybe you didn't want to do any cutting or trimming, which is why you chose not to do it that way?

    • @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN
      @ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN 3 місяці тому

      @237311 thanks for the reply! This is considered a "hidden" bumper mount, there is another mount that is longer from Cali-Raised and it extends the LED bar further forward through the bumper grill and you have to cut out the bumper grill to get it to fit. Because the LED bar lighting is so strong and the bumper grill slats are flat facing out, it doesn't block the light much at all. I wanted mine more incognito, like the hood scoop LED bar I installed in another video!
