From Mick: @chadrides914 , thanks for the nice comment and watching!!!

From Mick: @chadrides914 , thanks for the comment and watching, the plate is aluminum and painted with foam to brace against vibration, check out our video on no drilling radio install, thanks again. Link: ua-cam.com/video/TjkpTJ1l8os/v-deo.htmlsi=SOiHkYVE0F4z0dp6

From Mick: @clintbliss2046 , I didn’t even realize I said blade. At this point a knife blade would cut better. I may try and file down the height guides a little, thanks for watching.

From Mick: @jeremiah-om7zl , I’ll have to look at Leon’s website.

@@Portie2216 I'm told that when the major parts fails the saw will be junk

@maniLNW - Exactly! I was not feeling it either when I put it on - after 7 months and over 10k miles no issues - I think we are good! :) Thanks for watching!!!

From Mick: @jeremiah-om7zl , thanks for watching and the comments. I agree about the gas. I always use ethanol free in my small engines and outboards. Two stroke outboards are my favorite, love that smell of two cycle on the lake early in the morning. Hot cup of coffee, calm water, and sun just creeping over the trees.

Will need to check that out! Not sure if we have one close by though.

Gotta love the ole Homelife's!!!

@egyptianluvr9223 - not a stupid question at all, I did consider it I will admit. Still thinking about it for some of my other cars. Main reason is I wanted it to be as much OEM all throughout - I put OEM rims on it as well to replace the aftermarket rims that were on it when I bought the 996. Plus I really wanted to try out the PCCM+ - bummer it did not have the wireless CarPlay, thus this video! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

From Mick: @McGillicuddy-300 , very good question and like that you are making sure things are safe. I’ve only listened on the airbands and never have transmitted. I believe the radios should be programmed to not transmit. I have the radio on duel “watch” or listen and should be transmitting on VHF. Now that you questioned it, I’ll now double check what channel I’m on before pressing the PTT. I’m watching lots of items while making the video so hopefully I have not accidentally pressed the wrong button. Great comment, thanks for watching.

@@Portie2216 Hey you bet! In retrospect I see what happened. I thought you have 136 programmed as a frequency you had named as a channel but in actuality it was on the VFO portion of your radio. My bad. Great vid bro!

@LisaBauer-n6v - I did not have the valve issue (yet!) but I did see some videos on that during my research. Had to make sure that wasn't' the problem and it wasn't. Check out this video to see if it's your issue - broken spring: ua-cam.com/video/7IHOOOG2XW4/v-deo.htmlsi=uQ44afFrvWVCfjWx

@baccwoodszn6032 - glad you liked it and it helped! Good luck on finding that pesky wiring issue!

@alesandralevy8619 - thanks for watching and the kind words! Glad it helped!

From Mick: @Autoboys49307 ,thanks for taking the first stab and identifying the needed parts, made the second round easier.

From Mick: @1DjScarface send us an email at portiesgarage@gmail.com if in Metro Detroit area or northern suburbs then we will reply with weblink to identify repeaters. Please indicate if GMRS UHF or VHF repeaters.

@ messaged

@@1DjScarface just replied!

@skybluescaff - Hi thanks for watching! I bought two 5 liter containers to make sure I had enough, the Workshop manual calls for approximately 4.0L for a change with a total filling capacity of 9.5L. When you do the change all the fluid does not drain out thus the 4.0L for a change. Good luck!!!

From Mick: @philwood9760 , I agree, most radios seem to put out less watts then listed. But we need to keep in mind I’m using a cheap adapter that could cause power loss and I’m not using a dummy load, but a mag mount antenna that has different SWR at different frequencies, which could explain the difference. I should research how the SureCom measure power to better confirm. I use the readings to confirm differences between radios and have a close estimation of power. I think height and good antenna is most important. Thanks for watching and the good comment.

@jondorsey2128 - thanks for the nice comment and watching! The Mustang is a real fun project with a lot of opportunities!!!

From Mick: @jimgreekgamerYT , I have heard of other people “unlocking” their radios. I have not done that yet. Thanks for watching and the comment.

From Mick: @jamsesgoodson5501 , you are correct, I figured that out after I completed the video. At least I know the dongle works. Thanks for watching and the comment.

From Mick: @MrMiked3151 , the manual indicated that GMRS frequencies were not covered. I wonder if the frequencies can be unlocked.

@@Portie2216 I use mine on PMR 446mHZ (UK) straight out of the box

@@Portie2216 Mine did NOT need to be unlocked,... I just programmed all GMRS+FRS+MURS into the Radio with CHIRP :)

From Mick: @davidyummus6259 - I’ll have to try the GMRS frequencies on this radio and others, I’ve heard other people saying radios did more. Thanks for the tip, and watching.

@@Portie2216 Yep, mine is mounted in my Car with a Bingfu Ghost Antenna so I use it on GMRS & MURS and listen to HAM every day,... As I said, Radio was already unlocked so I loaded it all with CHIRP as a model 5RM :)

From Mick: @Doja421 , glad the video helped, we’ll be doing new radio updates from time to time. Shortly we’ll have a review of a hand held GMRS. If you have GMRS repeaters in your area they could be fun. It is amazing how these cheap radios do so much. Being cheap you can get several. Thanks for the nice comment

@MarcusVitone - that's a bummer on the re-dye but I bet really nice to have some fresh leather seats!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

From Mick: @Sdr-f7n , I like this model and works well. There are only two things to think about. 1) Size, if you need something small to carry with other equipment in a pack-out, it should be tested, 2). The red font on the menu is hard to read in day light, I need to see if that can be changed. These radios are so cheap, get both, then you have a spare if one breaks. Thanks for watching and the comments. I’ll have a hand held GMRS review coming out shortly, I’m testing it now and like what I see so far.

It was an adventure 😂

From Mick: @VRWarLab, I do not currently see these models listed on the Baofeng website. The typical difference between models is the display, frequency range, NOAA, and power. These could older models as Baofeng is always making small changes. Thanks for watching and the comments

@@Portie2216 that's the issue I have, I haven't found any official source. However I've heard that some company made a ham radio with X feature (something to do with the screen I believe) and so Baofeng decided to make the UV-5RH pro max which implements that feature. (Something to do with GPS? No clue. UV-5RH pro (not the max one) has GPS I believe so I don't know what the difference may be)

From Mick: @VRWarLab , a lot of these radios do the same things, with minor variations. I would write down the main things you want in a radio then look at the official Baofeng, Tidradio, or Wouxon sites for the best match. I need to look into GPS in these cheap handhelds. I know the big boys have GPS for things like D-Star…. I’m gonna research what GPS is currently used for. Check out our latest review of the Baofeng AR-5rm. I liked the radio. Thanks again for watching and comments

@AryaKiaie - glad it helped! I'll tell you it drove me batty for several weeks until I figured it all out, first it was the weld that broke and all the squeaking, then a few months later it was the vibration that was annoying - it just progressively got worse. Been driving it with the bands for 10 months now and holding on strong - no issues! Of course the permanent fix is to buy the new exhaust pipes - good luck!!!

From Mick: @placas94 , the connections on the side are for headphones and microphone. Not sure what would happen if I only connected the headphone jack, I’ll give that a try later and re-post.

From Mick: @JohnMackay-kn3rl , never thought about doing CB. I’ll look into it and if radios are cheap enough I’ll do one. I might have to record video closer to the highway so I can contact people. I have a video coming up on hand held GMRS soon. Thanks for the suggestion and watching.

@auto3714 - thanks and thanks for watching!!! Got a lot more out there for the Macan, check them out!!!

From Mick: @kaniala81, I saw it listed somewhere at IP65, now I’m seeing IP67 which is a higher rating

@nigarcia1 - thanks for watching and the nice comment! Make sure to watch the follow-up video for the needed inline fuse by the battery!

@Howie-ql2ru - Thanks for watching, yeah those rockers get hit with sunroof water on the top, street water on the bottom! And no issues with the 3rd brake light...at least not yet!!! LOL FYI more Cobalt vids dropped recently and a few more coming!

@LouUSMC - Thanks for watching and I'd say you won't regret the PCCM+ with added wireless! I too thought maybe you could plug the magsafe charger into the supplied "black box" or "media box" - when I did, it didn't have enough power for the magsafe charger, thus the cigarette lighter tap in for 12v power. I'm sure there are other power sources you can pull from but this was in the vicinity and worked pretty well. I'd also suggest buying the A1 midshelf from Autobahn Engineering - game changer right there! Autobahn Engineering A1 Mid Shelf = autobahn.engineering Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!

Close - Oakland County!!!

@Hdizzle2 - yes for sure, used an iPad for video purposes. 😉

Hot tubbin was a little later 🤣

@savjottoor7910 - I took it through the car wash with a bottom blast to get most of it off. It is recommended to do at least that first!

@jackharding98 - good eye my friend! 🌮 it certainly is!!! 🤣

@manymeez1406 - thank you 🙏 and thanks for watching! It’s a game changer for the short cab!

@Lux2133 - Awww - Happy Holidays!!!

@TracyTroyer, our presents have survived……so far.

@JoshuaNewman-h8d, we are lucky he only did that one time and not up in the tree.

@Portie2216 it gets really fun when they poop at the bottom of the tree lmao

@CLs-m3j, we are lucky the angle at the top with moving wings was not too tempting, that’s what he was looking at from the chair.

@DamienH-y9g - I haven't heard that, interesting - I'll have to look into that. Nothing I saw in the Porsche repair manual had that instruction, although I could've missed it. I will say, so far so good with the change though - been a few months and several thousand miles on the clock.

@Portie2216 great,thank you.

@DamienH-y9g - yes you can, make sure you keep your foot firmly planted on the brake so you don't rock off the jack stands. Going through the gears allows the transmission to heat up and get the oil all around the gears and throughout the trans.

@Portie2216 I've been trying this but the display doesn't change from 1 (first gear) maybe the wheels have to be spinning?

@@DamienH-y9g If I'm remembering correctly you'll only be able to hit 1st, reverse and neutral - that should do the trick! You won't be able to get higher than first unless the wheels are spinning but that is not needed. Just 1st, reverse and neutral - go back and forth every so often until you hit temp. I think I let it sit in each gear for 10 seconds or so - no magic time frame that I recall. Good luck!

@jackharding98 - thank you for the AWESOME comments, appreciate it! Hope your 30k service goes well - let us know how it all goes!!!

I'll post a video to my UA-cam channel when I do it, and I'll give your channel a shout-out 👍​@Portie2216

@jackharding98 - right on and good luck!! 👍🏻
