How I Saved An Old Computer with a $40 1TB SSD
Переглядів 118Рік тому
I replaced my old iMac's failed internal HDD with and SSD, and it's screaming fast now. It resarts 88% faster than with the external USB HDD that I've been using as the boot drive. It's not apples to apples, I know, but the improvement was staggering. I never realized how much drive read/write speed affects even mundane computer usage. Could be a worthwhile improvement for any computer with a s...
AC Repair for $11 - Blend Door Actuator Gear (Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2)
Переглядів 16 тис.Рік тому
Diagnosis: If you have dual zone climate control, and one side blows warm-ish air while the other side works perfectly, you might have a broken blend door actuator gear. These instructions are for the WK2 (2011-2022) Jeep Grand Cherokee, but could be a roadmap for repairing other vehicles as this part probably gets used throughout the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram lines.

A russet potato sprouted sitting on my counter, so I stuck it in some dirt, and put GoPro on it. Not the greatest, and I really need to work on controllin my lighting, but still worth sharing. No potatoes, though.

    Just ordered the Dorman parts for this repair on my 15GC. On the Dorman website it says that the parts now come with an alignment tool? Not sure exactly what it is, but I'll see when the parts are delivered. Dorman's site said they started including this alignment tool after FEB of 23.

    This job is an absolute nightmare, mostly because of that difficult torx screw. Once you get it out, do yourself a favor and go to your local hardware store and buy a couple #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be easier to screw in, and if you ever have to do this job again, it will be a hell of a lot easier to remove them in the future.

    THIS VIDEO ^^^^^ This is the bible for getting this job done. By far the best step-by-step out there, A few additional things I ran into- 1.) the knee airbag isn't covered at all here. If you have a knee airbag, everyone says disconnect the negative battery terminal since you don't want it blasting in your face. Some say 2 minutes, some say two hours before the system discharges. I let it rest for 30 minutes. I found more tips here file:///Users/johndelgiorno/Downloads/WK2_Knee_blocker_airbag_removal%20(1).pdf. 2.) Apparently its a known issue that the blend door gets stuck and that's what causes the gear to break. Indeed, mine was stuck. Search online and you'll find different methods of freeing a stuck blend door- I got lucky and was able to pry it loose with a plastic tool (don't damage the gear!). This is a great tip on how to make sure it doesn't get stuck again- ua-cam.com/video/JQW93BPubGc/v-deo.html

    Just did this today. And lost the top bolt. And had another one. And still can’t get it back in. But the one bottom bolt holds it in there nice and tight. I might just keep the one bolt in So it’s easier next time

    same problem, the blend slide was stuck on cold too when i removed the broken gear. that's why the gear was broke i'm sure. i had to heat the vehicle up to unstick the blend door, thankfully it moved. tks for the video. p.s. I did grind down a T15 along with a 1/4 inch ratchet wrench

    There ya go….complain about having to replace the flimsy plastic parts so often then immediately explain how you bought the cheap chineseium parts to save $10. Solid logic there, sir.

    • @worthsaying
      @worthsaying Рік тому

      Not sure I was complaining. Jeep designed and sold us these "flimsy plastic parts" in the first place. They almost look like they're meant to fail. I get what you're trying to say, but this particular after-market part actually seemed better than the originals. It's still going strong, too. I'll report back if it fails. Also, nothing wrong with trying to save a little money. That $10 might matter to someone.

    So I replaced the gear on driver side actuator for blend door. I disconnected battery for 6 hrs. I still do not have cold air from drivers side. If I crank heat up to max, it does get hotter, but when I lower to minimum, the heat changes but does not get cold. Don't know what to do anymore. Passenger side works properly

    • @bomberman7269
      @bomberman7269 Рік тому

      This was mentioned in a different video, the blend door itself gets stuck so the gear can't break it free, have to unstick it first.

    • @woodysgeekchannel2204
      @woodysgeekchannel2204 Рік тому

      @woodysgeekchannel2204 Рік тому

      @@bomberman7269 Finally fixed it. As I mentioned, there was movement but not enough. What it ended up being that when it was reassembled that it was off by 2 teeth. Therefore it would never reach 100%

    Thank for the video. I got the tool you made, amazon has it for 13 dollar.Really help me out a lot and saved 500+ dollar in labor. Now I need to figure out air suspension service/repair warning. Love the Jeep but 150K miles so much repair cost. I even forgot the list of items repaired. past 3 years I spent good 5K on repairs. Mine is 2012 GC Overland.

    How did you get the actuator to line up with the cog out of alignment? Did it turn freely?

    • @worthsaying
      @worthsaying Рік тому

      The actuator internals held pretty solid, as I recall. Instead, I just twisted the actuator motor itself, with the new gear on, until it lined up with the other gear on the blend door. Once the teeth started to mesh, I pushed the actuator into place, and then twisted it back until the screw holes were lined back up. Hope that made sense.
