Chrysler Pacifica Trouble Lights GALORE!.... Alternator?
I take a look at a customers 2018 Chrysler Pacifica with several warning lights on. The good ole Chrysler "lighting bolt" makes that customer think it is a faulty alternator. One may agree but is it ACTUALLY the alternator?

I take a look at a 06 Chevy Colorado with the "money light" on. Customer took it to a Chain store to get the "free scan". They wanted me to put a part on that the Chain Store said was the "Most Likely" cause. I talked them into letting me do some testing before they just throw parts at it.

Silverado HVAC Module Has A Mind Of It's Own??
Переглядів 40621 день тому
I take a look at a 03 Silverado that has a problem with the driver side temp control. Customer stated the "thing" has a mind of its own lol. Driver side temperature would change randomly by itself from hot to cold or cold to hot without touching the temp control. Using the PicoScope 2204A on this one saved the day!!!!

I've got a older gem for you in this video. 1998 Ford F150 with the 4x4 not working. The customer told me they had already replaced the transfer case shift motor but the 4x4 still did not work.

Windshield Wiper Transmission/Linkage Replacement ('16 Chevy Cruze)

In this video, I show how to replace the windshield wiper transmission/linkage on a 2016 Chevy Cruze. This was a pretty simple diagnosis/repair. Only the passenger side wiper was working which meant the wiper motor was good. Took the little black cover (covers the wiper arm nut) off at the base of the driver side wiper arm to make sure the nut was not loose and it was not. Pulled just the corne...

GREAT JOB ! FROM MSKIGON
The engine mount doesn't need to come off. You can cut the top bar portion of the gasket so that it slides under the cover. How did you get the pulley to stay put while you torqued the bolt?
Dude I was struggling for 5 hours trying to figure out how to just access the water pump. Your video was finally showing what I was missing. Thank you
@@kylewagner2784 Your welcome, I'm happy it helped you. Thank you for watching. Pass it along!
Thanks for this great video. Question where did you buy the new gasket or what brand do you think works better?
Need more light on the engine 😮
Do you have part numbers for everything you did.
Nice detailed video, thank you!!
This video has definitely helped me to do the first part for my timing chain as well. Didnt know that I need to remove the belt pulleys and motor mount to get access better for the cover to come out
Excellent! That's part of the reason I do the videos. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. If you haven't subscribed please consider doing so.
Will I be able to pull that 13 mm bolt right out with out a problem! the one thats on front of timing cover next to water pump access hole? I’m hoping when I remove the mount on timing cover side it drops just enough to pull that 13mm right through wheel well?
I am doing timing cover gasket tomorrow! I rember when I did my water pump that bolt couldn’t slide all the way out because of the frame on my 2.4 Malibu 2010!
Gotta love when they’re nearly full! ⛽️🤦♂️
Great video. Gonna try this on mine soon.
OMG, I spent the entire day taking the plumbing and stuff off. (Mind you I am legally blind) and you sir showed me the few steps I missed. I appreciate the awesome video and wish more people were as thorough as you were!
Why are you stealing my truck lol
GREAT TRUCKS. REGARDLESS
U need to use carb cleaner. Brake cleaner wont burn in an engine.
Brake cleaner will absolutely burn in an engine. I have no idea where you got that info from but it's false.
Also I've been a technician all my life so I've used this several times to move vehicles. The way he shows in this video I would never do because it's an extremely dangerous fire hazard
Go ahead and prove that
I’ve literally used it as starter fluid multiple times….
What a great video and narrative. Your camera positioning was spot on. Thank you.
You the man Six T
Im about to do this on my 2011 3.5 thank you for uploading, this is definitely gonna help me out.
Great video. But hey, you didn't include the dust cover in reassembley
Very informative and straightforward. I like the focus on the diagnostic part of it.
Thank you!

According to GM you are supposed to replace the CRANK Bolt everytime you do this repair
Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the Crank Bolt if you had left the belt on to give the pulley resistance?
Just had mines replaced yesterday since the old one was leaking oil and had to get a new serpentine belt too
How much did it cost for these repairs?
Thank you for this! At the 9:00 mark, you talk about how the transmission needs to be aligned exactly in the manner shown. Most of the other videos on this topic do not show this in detail.
Thanks for watching. I try to do as detailed as possible without making the video as long as a movie lol. Please like and subscribe so I can reach and help more people.
Any torque specifications?
2010 Equinox, oil leak, I think oil around pulley area. I see not the case. It’s timing chain cover? Great video by the way. God bless thank you.
If the oil is only around the pulley area then it's more than likely the crank seal that's in the timing cover. I changed the seal in the video starting at about the 8min mark. It will be a little bit of a different removal process if the timing cover is not removed first. Thank you for the comment and watching it!
Do you recommend adding gasket maker?
No, I do not use gasket maker for this job. Just use a new hard gasket.
I just replaced this piece for Mkz 2016 I have 0 experiences but I did its not perfect but it’s working 😅
Thanks for the video 🙌🏻
You bet!
Subcribed! Good job man, and keep the Joy of Wrenching! Only tips I would give from someone a few more videos in is maybe invest in external microphone to pick up your valuable tips a little more and I really like the rechargeable lights with magnetic bases to put lots of light in those dark areas so it shows a little more clear on film. Even with those little things, you're doing great!
Great detailed video thank you
Just subscribed I have to do this job in a few weeks. I am going to post the link to this video in my video. Thanks.
Thanks for subscribing and posting a link to the video. I hope the video helps you when you do it in a couple weeks.
A penny for your thoughts 💭
Jeeps are trussed up lawnmowers 🛞
Covering up a misfire at idle or low oil pressure?
Oh yea
"I fixed the problem and it only cost me a dime! Practically took just a piece of duct tape and all is well again! Didn't even have to use any zip-ties!"
An explanation??
A place to store spare change just in case
He likely took it too some backyard mechanic who “fixed” a misfiring issue or a low oil pressure issue by raising the idle with the duck tape and quarter trick. He put it in there so it would idle higher and cover up the misfire/low oil pressure. When the idle is higher it’s harder to hear the misfire and it raises the oil pressure the higher the rpm goes
@@SkylineTwinSpoolysnail ahhhhh, I see. Thanks.
My question is is how to get the side panel off next to the consult
This video does not show the bearing removal
I have a 2016 that has the lower airbag how do I get to it or how do I remove
Didn’t help at all
Is there any way to replace the bearing without pulling that housing out. The other side pops out with the circlip intact. Why can’t this side?
Will the A/C run properly intermittently if the actuator is going bad? Have hot air drivers side, cool on passenger side... but then all of a sudden it works properly??
I had this problem, so after watching these kinds of videos, I changed my actuator. May I suggest that you try to press the defrost button and power button at the same time first. Hold them down for several seconds. This just might reset the electronics and save you the trouble.
which power button
@@All-about-everything I'm sorry that I haven't seen this earlier. There is a power button just under the fan insignia to right of the defrost button. It goes defrost, rear window, auto, power button. Press them with the car running and hold them down until the ambient lighting goes through a couple cycles of changing colors. Anyway that is what I did and the air actuator started to work again.
I did this just now and it worked! Not sure if its a temporary fix, but boy am I glad i seen your comment!
@@Thomas6332I have this problem with my ‘07 town car. Will your suggestion work on it?
@@Dstrbrdgrnd It's a very simple try. Just press these buttons at the same time and wait for several seconds. I watched the ambient lighting go through all the colors, for example. Then my problem was resolved. It costs nothing to try. Good luck.
Mine is blowing hot air on the passenger side are there two of them accusatory just one
On my ‘07 town car there are 5 of them. One on each side, have no clue where the others are, gotta remove entire dash board and drop steering wheel😳😳😳
Ha is there one on the passenger side
Yep, gotta take out glove box and air bag to get to it.
Both of my pins broke on my passenger side linkage. Whats the next step? Take the whole dashboard out?
I got the same zip gun, what an awesome tool, cant get it in canada though.
