Auto Van Can - Mobile Mechanic - Update February 2023
thank you for taking the time to make this video. very helpful.
I have the exact same issue on my Chrysler minivan. Is there a way to remove the flex pipe without the air chisel?
Great job how much is that rack?
You need better sockets my guy
hello. which brand you used for the new struts ? and how are they doing after the installation
I live in Canada and use my 900 and 923 all year round, it doesn't matter if the temperature is +40 or -40 they both work great. i do not have the rubber covering on mine, maybe take that off and no one i know who has the 900 and theres a lot of them say they dont have any problem either. There is one problem but not with the tool its the batteries but its the same for any battery brand cold kills them fast we wrap them here it helps. And i find it suspicious seeing all that Milwaukee in your truck
Not to nit pic, as you are doing a fine job- feeler gauge reading at .004- is four thousandths , not hundredths. Carry on my friend, as you have helped me out.
Ah. The pesky 3.6l penastar engine with the leaky plastic oil cooler. I always replace it with a aluminum oil cooler with new gaskets and sensors. Done plenty of those. Sad Chrysler is still getting away with this. But it keeps us mobile mechanic busy.
Rough as heck but hey got the job done
Does anybody know which cartridges work best for wildfire smoke
not a clue but may be the ones they use for paint. as they are finer media filters i think.
Really surprised you haven’t got more followers. Great work mate. How long you been out there and what part of the UK are you from?
Thanks mate, unfortunately my business is now closed down due to some health issues.
To me the difference between a Mobile mechanics and a shop is the Mobile mechanics seem to truly care about their clients. Mobile mechanics seem to value earning a slow nickel instead of a fast dollar.
I took my Dodge Caravan for an oil change by the time i arrived home vales was tapping they told me it was the oil coollent that was $450.they still tapping thanks what can i do about the valves tapping any commands Thanks 😢
Is the oil level correct with the correct oil type?
I want to do the same. I would like to have a full size spare tire on the roof. How is the roof rack working for you? Is it strong? Are you able to put much weight on it? Thanks
Seems to be pretty good so far. I have a Thule box as long as the roof of the van on it.
@@autovancan nice!!
ua-cam.com/video/DNF44AiIHS4/v-deo.html
here`s another way
Can you just replace the outer red cover?
Unfortunately not.
I had the same problem until I tried a 6ah battery, It resolved the problem, I even used a 6ah flex volt and worked perfectly
Hope to see you back soon mate.!
Unfortunately I’m closing the business end of June.
Thanks - very helpful. Did you consider using plusnuts or rivet nuts for the install so that you wouldn’t have to remove the roof liner ? Ver much appreciate your opinion.
I did, but with the wind force of a 8ft Thule box. I didn’t want the riv nuts to get pulled through the roof skin, can’t pull a large washer through the small holes I drilled.
@@autovancan Hi I think you may be closed now ? but a quick question - would you be able to do this install - I have half the columns off but am leery about going any farther I would be willing to bring the vehicle to wherever would be convenient to you and would also be able to help you if you needed another pair of hands. Sorry to bother you but let me know if any chance possible.
Please remember that these videos are teaching people that may not know as much as you do. You must ensure that we can see that you are using axle stands. Otherwise very good video.
You just got a bad gun send it back and get it Swapped out easy fix
The review was a long term. It went for repair. They couldn’t fix it so I got a new one. Took a few weeks to get the new one.
my dcf 900 has failed just under a year old, all my co workers are using Milwaukee n i thought i would go over to the darkside with DeWalt n just under a year n its broken! im the laughing stock of the garage, ive spoke to DeWalt warranty n making me jump through hoops to get the thing fixed !
Wow! That’s shitty! Sorry to hear you having issues. I find the gun works better with a 5amp/hour battery. But the 899 is more reliable for sure
@@autovancan only run mine with 5ah but im a mechanic so im using most days but would of thought it would of lasted a year! luckily its got the 3 year warranty but had to go out n get a 899 while i sent my 900 off for repair just lost a bit of confidence in the tool as the slogan is " guaranteed tough"
The driver infront of you shouldn't have their emergency blinkers on
Too much random chatter. Please get to the point. Thanks.
That’s just the way I roll. Sorry.
Too bad you are in Ontario you would do much better in Edmonton
Yeah I can believe that.
Looking forward to new content 😊
Hi there, Sorry I’ve been busy with business projects lately!
Hopefully buddy 👍
Bro nobody cares just stop vloging
My brand new DCF900 is doing this exact thing! Right out of the box! So infuriating.
You using the 5ah? It is maddening!!
Would you be able to do a full walk through? Thanks
Great, I lost my entire post. Try again. 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. One mechanic at a dealership immediately guessed bad oil leak caused by notorious, plastic oil filter housing unit. He said it's a $1K to $1200 repair job. He suggested I go to a non-dealership for a lower price. I haven't had a chance to get a second opinion. How long does it take to change that part? I'm in Georgia. Would be nice if you are, too. Heh. I like to tinker, but I don't know if I have all the necessary tools. And I'm pretty good at small, short repairs on things. I can't see myself getting oil all over my hands. Or possible taking 3 hours to dismantle and reassemble. I'm an old lady, living in vehicle (over 16 yrs), dealing with cancer, blah blah blah. So I'm hoping I can get an exact diagnosis (besides the good guess that I think I got), and find out what a fair price is to pay for the job. Also, the part # you mention above - mopar site said it's the wrong one for my vehicle, but other search results show that exact number for my needs. I appreciate all helpful information. Thank you.
Very helpful thank you
I have the 6.5 that is propane powered so no fuel filter in the way
Nice
@@autovancan love the way you did all of this work without removing the cover!
There’s no such thing as ‘a nice reliable vehicle’ when it comes to Ford/Chevy/Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep mate. Just had to get my transmission rebuilt for the second time recently, this time the flex plate had cracked which never happened to any Toyota or Honda I’ve owned (that’s over 25 yrs and about a dozen vehicles). Never did I have to replace oil housing or the rockers and camshafts! So I’m sorry, I am biased.
It’s all in performing preventative maintenance helps reduce the risk of failure.
What is that bit for the air hammer you used? Can't locate it on Amazon
Hello! What size bolt did you use if you remember I’m about to do this but I don’t know what I need I have the factory rail
I used m5x25 with washers.
Which brand of housing did you get? Currently searching. Seen several on Amazon that seem good. Local auto parts is about $300.
Dorman, costs about $700 at parts store.
Champion OEM plugs are 35 plus tax. How many km
How much were the roof racks?
What year was the vehicle? I just replaced my oil cooler in a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan, and the Mopar upgraded part came with a red o'ring to be used up to 2021 models (it is not as thick). The black ring needed to be removed for it is for 2022 and up. In addition, I changed the spark plugs (Champion OEM) The initial reason I did the above is I got the infamous tick at 148761 Km. I replaced all the rocker arms (defective 2011 -2016) and valve lifters (not required but had the cash) and all new gaskets (lower / upper inkakes and valve cover set). When looking at my old oil cooler, it probably did not need to be changed, but seeing this can be a failure point for Mopar upgraded the part and had the cash it was best to change it. Never did this before. I just watched several UA-cam videos to build my confidence. I am very satisfied with the results. Running great. Seeing the cost of vehicles, I am investing in this one. To make it more modern, i am looking to upgrade to led lights, a new Android head unit, and other items. Great video. I will update you with the cost of do it yourself and dealer price in Canada.
Red for 2014 and under black for anything after
How may Km on your van?
200k 👍🏻
My DFC900 is about 3 months old. It's now doing this at room temperature.
Do you think the DCF899's better quality? Is this the 1396 NM version?
See you mentioned needle scaler is your favourite tool, any tips on what jobs you use it for / find it good for ? Have only used mine for chassis restoration.
It’s a great tool for removing/finding rotten backing plates on disc brake assemblies. Good also for fuel pump lock rings. Can be used on heavily corroded caliper carriers.
Thank you! Doesn't look like you had much of a fuel mess when you took the fuel supply hose off the lower manifold. How did you do that?
Great stuff! Appreciate it
You are my favourite! Xoxo be safe Uncle Tim!
