Those 3.6 Pentastar V6s used to be good engines - I had one in my 2012 Journey. Obviously, since Stellantis formed, and Tavares took over, prices are going up up up, out of proportion to inflation and other manufacturers' price increases, while quality is going down, down, down...... No wonder they have (as of late June) a 150 day plus inventory of Rams.
I once worked at a shop where a guy was great at manual transmission driving, but abysmal at automatic transmission driving. I found this out when he was helping me listen for a wheel bearing noise on an automatic Pontiac Sunfire. It's on the hoist and he's running it at 80km/h. I find which wheel bearing is bad and tell him to shut it down. He puts it in park at 80km/h and starts freaking out.
I learned to drive manual about 35 years ago. Haven't driven one since. The difference between me and that guy. I won't drive a manual at this point, unless I can practice in a wide open space first.
I've discovered that my manual transmission is a very effective theft deterrent. Even service shops have to wait for "their guy who can drive it" to move it into the shop.
Yeah. Non-critical, and it doesn't really matter if the spray foam doesn't work. I wouldn't do that, of course, but it isn't actively dangerous like all of the other uses of spray foam I've seen.
Someplace recently I saw a chart that showed how different auto makers prices had gone up relative to inflation the past few years. Stellantis had gone up the most by a big margin. Japanese makers the least.
Some people should really, really not be allowed on the road, not because they are poor drivers but because of their complete and total inability to comprehend even absolute basic mechanical principles.
@@qoph1988 Me. I've taken my car to the mechanic to diagnose rattles and other noises I didn't understand. One of those noises, a kinda weirdly loud engine whine on a car I'd just bought, turned out to be the water pump as the timing belt was about to fail.
@drakefallentine8351 it most definitely came from the factory. you think there's any quality control anymore? as long as it drives out of the factory it's not their problem anymore.
it might have done something i suppose, like the wrong oil is better than no oil? i mean it wasn't even *close* to fitting, all coiled up in there like a slinky. 😆
Have a "new guy didn't know how to drive a stick" story of my own: work at a Honda dealership, get a Civic Type R shipped in, new porter (just a kid really) crashes it into the garage door and gets fired immediately
At the Walmart I used to work at, one of the last accidents I saw in the Tire and Lube was a tech pulling a CR-V out of the garage, accidently popped the clutch and it went through the door lol. This was #4 in a six month period, before that they: 1. Left out a guys oil plug, wife didn't notice it leaking and drove it home. He got up to go to work the next day and made it about a mile and a half before lockup. 2. Sent a 2500 diesel out(don't know if Chevy or Dodge) with 4 quarts of oil, they call for 10. and 3. Drained a guys transmission instead of oil, then "refilled" his oil, lol. Don't take your vehicle to Walmart for anything.
I can assure you, a car with a manual transmission will stop just as well as an automatic when pressing the brake pedal. Genuinly though, and this goes for any job, if you're unsure of something please ask another person for help. It doesn't make you worth less. In fact, as you just saw, it may make you worth a whole lot more!
Totally with you on asking for help. That's one of the key things I look for in new coworkers. If people who worked there for years sometimes need help, the new person sure as hell does. Question is, can they ask. Yeah, the brakes work the same on a manual, but you know how the car can bunny hop forward if you aren't ready for the clutch to grab, and you just stalled the engine twice so now you're giving it the beans. 🐇🎇
Along with the heart of the driver. I know. I was once asked to move a car for another tech and didn't know front and rear brake pads had been replaced. The pedal needed pumped several times to take up the gaps between the new pads and the compressed calipers. End result, I get in a vehicle and with no brakes ran into a toolbox and plowed that into another vehicle. While the incident wasn't my fault, it was still extremely stressful.
Same thought here. How one can ruin a practically brand new car so fast??? It looks like a 30+ years old wreck... which was used as a chicken coop for the last decade...

1:00 That was probably a 100K vehicle when it was bought. It makes me sick to see what people can do to such an expensive vehicle. Just imagine what their house looks like.
Especially considering that this was a 2023, so they managed to ruin it like that in only about a year. Like, how can you be this careless with any object that costs this much?
Fr man. Something gives me the inkling that they didn't pay for it though... daddy's money? I could be wrong but I just can't see someone working so hard for a nice car only to ruin it like that.
If you don't know how to do something, just suck it up and admit you don't know, no matter how embarassing it may be. A friend in jr high school didn't know how to swim but was afraid to admit it. When we started playing at the pool, he jumped in with the rest of us. The only reason he's alive today is because a lifeguard noticed he wasn't coming up (in a pool with about 50 kids splashing and yelling), and dove in to rescue him.
Twenty years ago, your options were: pay a mechanic, pay (money, beer, pizza, whatever) a friend who actually knows what they're going, or buy a Chilton/Haynes manual and LEARN. Now, you can add: Find a UA-cam tutorial FOR FREE!
Last summer, when my 20 year old kid, a college student visited, we could have done a lot of things. She asked me to teach her how to drive a stick shift. I rounded up a 5 speed clutch transmission for her to learn. We went round and round the neighborhood (not on busy streets). After one hour of terror for both her and me, we called it a day. She handed me the keys and said, “You and mom make this look so easy.” Yep. I’ve been driving using a clutch since I was seven (literally). It is second nature to me. Ask me to fly an airplane? Good luck. It would be my first and last flight.
I’m a very old baby boomer and when I was a kid three speed column shifts were very common. That’s what my dad made me. Learn on then after that, I went to a four-speed floor shift then after that, he let me drive an automatic transmission.
When I was in my 20s I decided the best and fastest way to learn stick after driving an automatic for years was to get a new car with a stick. It definitely worked but it was not fun for a while!
@@lordkreigs1978 I learned how to drive a stick on a tractor. My first road vehicle was a 1976 Ford van (E-250) with a three on the tree. Dad and I pulled that transmission and rebuilt it, but still, it would literally fall out of second gear if one wasn’t paying attention.
@@lordkreigs1978 I hear you; the good ol' days! 3-speed column shift, manual (Armstrong) steering, roll-down windows, crank-out side windows, NO power ANYTHING!! Drive fast, because NO A/C!! Got my licence on a column shift at 21!!
I've been in both situations: please fix, or please make it to next payday. I learned to ask whether the repair 1) affects safety and 2) will be significantly more expensive later if I wait If it's the first, I'm deciding whether to fix or stop driving. If the second, I'm updating my budget that month.

Don't have to be smart and experienced to be a shop monkey. Listening and knowing when to ask questions can build the experience. All too often, however, people are hired because "I do my own..." only for a shop to find out they do it completely wrong. Knew a guy that got zapped from a dealership he was working at because they caught him starting the engine of a freshly drained and changed filter car before putting oil in. "It's how my dad taught me to do it and I always do it this way!" Who knows how many engines he shortened the life on doing that before being caught.
As a newer mechanic that probably shouldn't be on public roads with a manual, they don't check anymore. I know all the theory and can competently put it on a lift, but my employer never asked if I can drive manual, and when I told them I can't, nobody offered a manual to learn on. No used cars, no employee cars, no nothing. The closest thing is when another tech told me to just pull in a customer car, and sat in the passenger seat (probably a bad idea, but the clutch still works and I didn't stall). The sad truth is in modern america, the only way to learn manual is to either buy one, which is not reasonable when you're broke and just starting your career, or have a parent or friend that is willing to take the risk for you.
3:15 i was looking for body shop jobs recently and one shop was saying if the applicant can’t drive a manual, it’s an automatic no because they need someone that can drive manual & all current employees only know how to drive automatic except for two ppl
fewer and fewer people learns to drive manual every year to... Here in norway you not even allowed to drive a manual if you dont take you driving test in a manual car if i remember correctly (I might remember this wrong though since heard it maybe 15 years ago (i am 34 in 3 months) and i also dont drive a car since public transport is more than good enough for where i live and where i am moving to next (And its freaking expensive to drive in norway to so i rather save that money for other things like maybe getting a house at some point haha)
When we took my daughter out for a fancy brunch for here 21st birthday, there were 3 valets on duty and none of them could drive a manual. My wife parked her own Jeep (they did move another car and gave her a good spot, though).
You say a clutch as if there's just one kind. I've used quite a few and there's a lot of variability. With some all of my experience was of no use whatsoever. Shifting in different vehicles can be very dissimilar. There's some that are alike. But not all of them. There's definitely some oddballs out there.
@@1pcfredyeup. Had a few come in to work where the clutch was so bad it was all or nothing for engagement. I barely even know how to drive stick but noone else in my shop will touch them 🤷🏼♀️
Automagics making people lazy or just uneducated on how to drive a old school manual. It was cool driving those old pickup trucks with the steering column mounted 3 speed shifters. Still driving my 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan with 6 speed manual (I'm at 205K miles on original clutch). Looking to replace the clutch in a month or so.
That first one was another inside job where a button pusher at the engine assembly plant didn’t get their raise. In before “where’s your evidence”-this man has uploaded videos of head gaskets not being installed from the factory coinciding with the UAW strike.
Probably not a button pusher then. Unless the scabbed. More likely it was William from engineering, who got drafted into it cuz they didn't have anyone else, and surely his engineering training makes hime qualified to turn a wrench
@@Ladyoftheroundtablemaybe if it was an electrical engineer. I'm pretty sure a mechanical would be able to read and understand the manual, because he probably helped write it
With that last clip at first I was like "Ok he doesn't know how to drive manual but he did know he needs tires right?!?" Then I saw he crashed into something on the lift. Still how did he forget what steering and brakes were?!?
Guessing there was more to that story. I will say that modern manuals are next to impossible to stall since they are throttle by wire. Handy in San Fran but maybe not ideal for learner.
@@antilogismI have definitely managed to stall a drive by wire manual when I was stuck on a hill and the auto hill assist didn't activate, although I suppose how much tech is between you and the throttle will also affect if that's possible.
1:15 - Apparently, leaving plastic ducks on Jeeps is a sign of respect from other Jeep owners. I didn't know that when I stuck my plastic "Devil Duck" on the mast antenna of my Cherokee, that "Devil Duck" has been on the antenna of four previous cars, and stayed attached through two major car accidents, including one I probably shouldn't have survived. Seems to be a bit of a good luck charm for me! 1:23 - A bad smell inside? YOU DON'T SAY! And here I was, calling them Nissan Pukes as a joke! 🤮 2:17 - At Connecticut prices, that's easily $130-150 in the center console - all those Marlboro "formerly-known-as-Lights" are still sealed packs. I'm guessing the owner has someone ship a carton or two to them from a state with lower tobacco taxes? Or maybe just buys in bulk for the convenience? 3:15 - Oh... My... Gawd...
Why are there so many people that don't see the connection between an item/gadget/trinket they placed in their car and sudden-onset issues related to that general area?
In modern life everything is rush, rush, rush. That being the case things get done in a haphazard fashion and are quickly forgotten about. If there was even any thought involved at the outset.
I don't understand it either, but I think it's just some disconnect. One of the smartest people I ever knew, could learn damn near anything she wanted to in 1/10 the time, but often couldn't even see something she'd just put down, or relate the putting-down-action to another event immediately following.
It’s a weird cult fetish. Even my friend and his wife do that crap because it’s a “Jeep” thing. It seems more like a midlife crisis habit than anything.
On that last clip, over the years I've had multiple shops ask me to pull my vehicle into the shop as "the guy who can drive a stick is out". I'm sure their insurance companies would freak out about having a customer do that, but better than driving the car into the pit, off the rack or through the back.
Today I had my first day of work at an auto repair shop that wasn't part of work-study! EDIT: 2:22 I actually found out that something had chewed a hole in my engine air filter when I replaced it today, since there wasn't a whole lot going on at the shop, and I'm the new guy who's never even taken an auto maintenance course of any kind, I just watch YT and get hands-on learning experience, so I can't do any of the more complex repairs yet. 3:15 I can drive stick, but I'm not very good at it, since I've only done it 4 times, not including the vintage tractor, which you don't shift on the move.
My Ford Fusion had a rodent chew a wiring harness, the air filter box, and the (factory original) battery. My guess is a squirrel. The battery sits on a platform that looks big enough that it could hold a bigger battery if necessary. It gave enough space for the squirrel to sit there and munch on all 3 things.
@@acerimmer8338 Some AWD have a center differential. Some AWD have a computer-controlled wet clutch to engage the rear drive. The latter type could maybe survive the missing driveshaft. The former type would either be unable to move the car, or destroy the center differential if driven more than a short distance.
I never learned to drive cars with manual transmissions either. Never had the opportunity to learn. That said, when I was working, I made a mental note of all the mechanics I worked with who knew how to and would ask them to take care of moving the vehicle or just trade the job to them for one they had but didn't want. Simple as that. The key was to not have any misplaced notions of self pride. It's not a big deal if you can't do something. Just own up and ask for help or ask someone to teach you.
I work at a Subaru dealership and we had a couple new guys that couldn't drive stick. I daily drive a manual Ford Focus. Gave them lessons, just so they can get the cars around. The problem for most people is finding someone who drives a manual car these days.
Well said. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help when you need it, be ashamed when you didn't ask. For what it's worth, I shopped very hard to find a manual car, and still I have no reasons why it's better, any more than I could argue that blue is the best color. You aren't missing much.
Or the new guy said he couldn't and nobody else could (or want to) and they said just do it. We have examples of this happening a lot more in recent times so I'd lay off jumping to conclusions.
@@thatguybrody4819 I tell a story about when I was working and you have this hallucination that I'm talking about the guy in the video? I have no idea what that situation was outside what we saw. To say anything about it is pure speculation. I was talking SPECIFICALLY about my experience while working and how l, more often than not, have found that if you're willing to humble yourself and ask for help, you will get it. If you're not going to follow along with the rest of the class, we ask that you don't interrupt, in fact, just stay home.
The first clip shows why you should get the extend warranty. That Jeep driver must love going to the river and feeding the ducks. I don’t think you would want to know what happened when a car comes in with bullet holes. These clips are great keep going I wonder how many drivers would say junk it after seeing the bill for fixing their car?
That last clip reminds me of my actual first day in the last shop I worked in. It was located in the basement of an apartment building so there was a fairly steep ramp down and led directly to our two column lift. We had one car up there since the day before. I was just making ready to go out and start working when I hear a shreeking noise and a loud bang. I walk out and see a car under our raised car, smashed windshield and roof, and a woman just staring right infront of her. Luckily there was no major damage to the car on the lift and it didn't fall down either. That ladys car was to damaged to repair. Funny thing was, she wasn't even supposed to come down to us but to the shop next door for a tire change.
The whole jeep duck thing is getting out of hand. There's at least one modern Cherokee and a couple renegades with a dashboard full of ducks. No one gave them those!
Please tell me that that one car with the missing wheel lock and all those Marlboro cigarettes in the console came in with a smoking consern, too. 😂😂😂😂😂
"the customer had the completely wrong air filter" I guffawed hard there, I _recognize_ that one, it's the same as the filter we use at work, on our wetrok combi scrubber (the drivematic).
I get that the new guy doesn't know how to drive a manual, but I don't get why he doesn't just say so instead of wrecking two vehicles and nearly causing severe injuries or death. Why didn't someone else know this about the new guy?
3:05 the universal joint of my driveshaft to my rear axle broke once. So I removed it and made my 2000 Honda CR-V to a front wheeler. Everything is back again, but it took a while.
Listen, I'm all up for the whole _'I'll just youtube it'_ whenever I need something done and am just the right enough level of slob that I don't want to call a professional to do it. That said, I'm also not a monumental idiot, so that has saved me from appearing on JRI or other similar channels.
best guess, drives a bit too fast in first gear engine screaming at redline stamps on clutch thinking it's the brake slams into front of car by the lift get flipped up
I worked in a shop for a while, doing front and alignments and wouldn’t do one car because it was too filthy primarily with cigarette butts and ashes everywhere and I can’t stand that smell. It wasn’t too much later that the boss let me go for being “too picky“. One of the things I was too picky about is there’s seven points that must be done for a proper alignment and he only wanted me to do the first three and shoot it out the door and I wouldn’t do that. Fk him.😂
I have a good ending “I can’t drive a stick” story. My wife’s best friend was expecting her first baby so my wife and a few other friends threw her a surprise party. Part of the deal was, her husband, myself and a few other husbands/boyfriends moved all the cars to a local church. The husband/father-to-be got in his boss’s car and tried to start it. “Hey, something is wrong with LT’s car, it won’t start.” I told him, “dude, you gotta push the clutch in to start it.” “Nope, can’t drive this. Can you?” Well, I grew up with manual transmissions, so yup.
Ford Falcons. I was like "I don't see any of these cars on the road when I saw the movie as a kid. Didn't realize they were Australian market vehicles until later." Sometimes I just pull the movie up to watch all the modded cars.
My brother crashed a manual car into the back of the paint booth once. It was a body shop, so they just beat the exhaust fan housings back into place and went back to business as usual
About the last clip: In my country, we have a separate license for drivers with automatic transmissions. They are not allowed to drive manual cars. BTW: In Dubai, if you can drive a manual car, they consider you a god in driving ... 😆
In the US those laws are devolved to the states. Some people in the US distrust government so much that they don't even accept safety regulations. They even fought laws about seatbelts and drink driving. Some of our politics isn't much different from Reichsburgers.

Especially considering that this was a 2023, so they managed to ruin it like that in only about a year. Like, how can you be this careless with any object that costs this much?
Fr man. Something gives me the inkling that they didn't pay for it though... daddy's money? I could be wrong but I just can't see someone working so hard for a nice car only to ruin it like that.
and if they have kids, imagine what they look like... and how they behave.
What, never flown a plane before? I did when I was 5. And I willl happily ride in planes again. My family however…

If you don't know how to do something, just suck it up and admit you don't know, no matter how embarassing it may be. A friend in jr high school didn't know how to swim but was afraid to admit it. When we started playing at the pool, he jumped in with the rest of us. The only reason he's alive today is because a lifeguard noticed he wasn't coming up (in a pool with about 50 kids splashing and yelling), and dove in to rescue him.
Bet he was the class president too. 🤣
Twenty years ago, your options were: pay a mechanic, pay (money, beer, pizza, whatever) a friend who actually knows what they're going, or buy a Chilton/Haynes manual and LEARN.

Last summer, when my 20 year old kid, a college student visited, we could have done a lot of things. She asked me to teach her how to drive a stick shift. I rounded up a 5 speed clutch transmission for her to learn. We went round and round the neighborhood (not on busy streets). After one hour of terror for both her and me, we called it a day. She handed me the keys and said, “You and mom make this look so easy.” Yep. I’ve been driving using a clutch since I was seven (literally). It is second nature to me. Ask me to fly an airplane? Good luck. It would be my first and last flight.
I’m a very old baby boomer and when I was a kid three speed column shifts were very common.
That’s what my dad made me. Learn on then after that, I went to a four-speed floor shift then after that, he let me drive an automatic transmission.
When I was in my 20s I decided the best and fastest way to learn stick after driving an automatic for years was to get a new car with a stick. It definitely worked but it was not fun for a while!
@@lordkreigs1978 I learned how to drive a stick on a tractor. My first road vehicle was a 1976 Ford van (E-250) with a three on the tree. Dad and I pulled that transmission and rebuilt it, but still, it would literally fall out of second gear if one wasn’t paying attention.
Years of Microsoft flight sim experience here. I’m betting I could do a well as Ted Striker from airplane at least
@@lordkreigs1978 I hear you; the good ol' days! 3-speed column shift, manual (Armstrong) steering, roll-down windows, crank-out side windows, NO power ANYTHING!! Drive fast, because NO A/C!! Got my licence on a column shift at 21!!
It amazes me that folks whose cars have MINOR issues that can be fixed easily and cheaply DECLINE the repair.
Maybe that $30 for an air filter and installation can instead have dinner for their family. Or gas. Everyone’s situation is different.
I've been in both situations: please fix, or please make it to next payday.
I learned to ask whether the repair
1) affects safety and
2) will be significantly more expensive later if I wait
If it's the first, I'm deciding whether to fix or stop driving. If the second, I'm updating my budget that month.
@@sapphir8very very few people are THAT poor
They probably declined because now that the shop pointed out what's wrong, they're going to have another try at it themselves 🙄🙄🙄

I can see it now:
New guy: I can’t drive stick
Old guy: you can figure it out, just get in there and do it.
I'm no mechanic but I'm shocked anyone would ever learn how to be one without also learning how to drive a manual
Likely just a helper of some sort.
Don't have to be smart and experienced to be a shop monkey. Listening and knowing when to ask questions can build the experience. All too often, however, people are hired because "I do my own..." only for a shop to find out they do it completely wrong. Knew a guy that got zapped from a dealership he was working at because they caught him starting the engine of a freshly drained and changed filter car before putting oil in. "It's how my dad taught me to do it and I always do it this way!" Who knows how many engines he shortened the life on doing that before being caught.
As a newer mechanic that probably shouldn't be on public roads with a manual, they don't check anymore. I know all the theory and can competently put it on a lift, but my employer never asked if I can drive manual, and when I told them I can't, nobody offered a manual to learn on. No used cars, no employee cars, no nothing. The closest thing is when another tech told me to just pull in a customer car, and sat in the passenger seat (probably a bad idea, but the clutch still works and I didn't stall). The sad truth is in modern america, the only way to learn manual is to either buy one, which is not reasonable when you're broke and just starting your career, or have a parent or friend that is willing to take the risk for you.
3:15 i was looking for body shop jobs recently and one shop was saying if the applicant can’t drive a manual, it’s an automatic no because they need someone that can drive manual & all current employees only know how to drive automatic except for two ppl
fewer and fewer people learns to drive manual every year to... Here in norway you not even allowed to drive a manual if you dont take you driving test in a manual car if i remember correctly (I might remember this wrong though since heard it maybe 15 years ago (i am 34 in 3 months) and i also dont drive a car since public transport is more than good enough for where i live and where i am moving to next (And its freaking expensive to drive in norway to so i rather save that money for other things like maybe getting a house at some point haha)
One job gave me a raise purely because I can drive stick.
Lmao can’t drive a clutch as a mechanic
When we took my daughter out for a fancy brunch for here 21st birthday, there were 3 valets on duty and none of them could drive a manual. My wife parked her own Jeep (they did move another car and gave her a good spot, though).
You say a clutch as if there's just one kind. I've used quite a few and there's a lot of variability. With some all of my experience was of no use whatsoever. Shifting in different vehicles can be very dissimilar. There's some that are alike. But not all of them. There's definitely some oddballs out there.
@@1pcfredyeup. Had a few come in to work where the clutch was so bad it was all or nothing for engagement. I barely even know how to drive stick but noone else in my shop will touch them 🤷🏼♀️
That's not the problem. The problem is that he didn't say anything about it.
Automagics making people lazy or just uneducated on how to drive a old school manual. It was cool driving those old pickup trucks with the steering column mounted 3 speed shifters. Still driving my 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan with 6 speed manual (I'm at 205K miles on original clutch). Looking to replace the clutch in a month or so.
That first one was another inside job where a button pusher at the engine assembly plant didn’t get their raise. In before “where’s your evidence”-this man has uploaded videos of head gaskets not being installed from the factory coinciding with the UAW strike.
"Built with pride by UAW men and women"...
yep just greedy people wanting a living wage, shame on them, you would have them all chained up and whipped no doubt mr bossman
and an extra $10k in cost that pays for our retirement and healthcare plans.
Probably not a button pusher then. Unless the scabbed. More likely it was William from engineering, who got drafted into it cuz they didn't have anyone else, and surely his engineering training makes hime qualified to turn a wrench
@@Ladyoftheroundtablemaybe if it was an electrical engineer. I'm pretty sure a mechanical would be able to read and understand the manual, because he probably helped write it
Why does Dueling Banjos from Deliverance play in my head when I watch Just Rolled In videos?
The intro to “Ain’t no rest for the wicked” by Cage the elephant gets stuck in my head because the intro to the video sounds the same.
With that last clip at first I was like "Ok he doesn't know how to drive manual but he did know he needs tires right?!?"
Then I saw he crashed into something on the lift. Still how did he forget what steering and brakes were?!?
Guessing there was more to that story. I will say that modern manuals are next to impossible to stall since they are throttle by wire. Handy in San Fran but maybe not ideal for learner.
@@antilogismI have definitely managed to stall a drive by wire manual when I was stuck on a hill and the auto hill assist didn't activate, although I suppose how much tech is between you and the throttle will also affect if that's possible.
Man there seems to be a lot of brand new vehicles with major problems right from the factor. Honestly I would not buy anything from 2021 through 2024.
Opps , right from the "factory"
Quality control has gone to hell lately.

Never would buy a vehicle newer than 2014 ever
It has a lot to do with WHERE these vehicles are being built.
1:15 - Apparently, leaving plastic ducks on Jeeps is a sign of respect from other Jeep owners. I didn't know that when I stuck my plastic "Devil Duck" on the mast antenna of my Cherokee, that "Devil Duck" has been on the antenna of four previous cars, and stayed attached through two major car accidents, including one I probably shouldn't have survived. Seems to be a bit of a good luck charm for me!
1:23 - A bad smell inside? YOU DON'T SAY! And here I was, calling them Nissan Pukes as a joke! 🤮
2:17 - At Connecticut prices, that's easily $130-150 in the center console - all those Marlboro "formerly-known-as-Lights" are still sealed packs. I'm guessing the owner has someone ship a carton or two to them from a state with lower tobacco taxes? Or maybe just buys in bulk for the convenience?
3:15 - Oh... My... Gawd...
Why are there so many people that don't see the connection between an item/gadget/trinket they placed in their car and sudden-onset issues related to that general area?
In modern life everything is rush, rush, rush. That being the case things get done in a haphazard fashion and are quickly forgotten about. If there was even any thought involved at the outset.
I don't understand it either, but I think it's just some disconnect. One of the smartest people I ever knew, could learn damn near anything she wanted to in 1/10 the time, but often couldn't even see something she'd just put down, or relate the putting-down-action to another event immediately following.
Basic lack of intelligence. Half the population has below average intelligence.
I must always chuckle a bit if I read US and Manual Transmission. It must be really a good theft deterrent. 😂😂😂
It is, but ideally you want them to notice before they try to break the lock or smash the window.

@@qoph1988 Maybe the local cops instantly knew the culprit, the moment they heard it was a manual?

1:15 - That jeep is pretty fowl.
On that last clip, over the years I've had multiple shops ask me to pull my vehicle into the shop as "the guy who can drive a stick is out". I'm sure their insurance companies would freak out about having a customer do that, but better than driving the car into the pit, off the rack or through the back.
Today I had my first day of work at an auto repair shop that wasn't part of work-study!
EDIT: 2:22 I actually found out that something had chewed a hole in my engine air filter when I replaced it today, since there wasn't a whole lot going on at the shop, and I'm the new guy who's never even taken an auto maintenance course of any kind, I just watch YT and get hands-on learning experience, so I can't do any of the more complex repairs yet.
3:15 I can drive stick, but I'm not very good at it, since I've only done it 4 times, not including the vintage tractor, which you don't shift on the move.
My Ford Fusion had a rodent chew a wiring harness, the air filter box, and the (factory original) battery. My guess is a squirrel. The battery sits on a platform that looks big enough that it could hold a bigger battery if necessary. It gave enough space for the squirrel to sit there and munch on all 3 things.
@@kc9scott Chewing the air box and wiring harness is normal enough, but the battery? That's new
I’m not a car guy.. but I’m pretty sure a driveshaft is a necessary component.
Not really. The vast majority of 4WD vehicles never go out of 2WD.
These are FWD based AWD vehicles. So they're FWD 99% of the time
@@acerimmer8338 Some AWD have a center differential. Some AWD have a computer-controlled wet clutch to engage the rear drive. The latter type could maybe survive the missing driveshaft. The former type would either be unable to move the car, or destroy the center differential if driven more than a short distance.
I was scared there wasn’t a spray foam story, but you pulled it off! Thanks for sharing!
Spray foam is the new duct tape.
you really need to use both for an effective repair!!! LOL
This led to the invention of spray tape, and duct foam ;) .
@@CNCmachiningisfun And that is _exactly_ what happens when you give marketing people too much influence in product development. Volkswagen
Did the new guy keep his job after destroying the manual shift car?
haven't got an update on that yet
TBF, I would never have checked for a missing driveshaft when purchasing a car. I guess that's why you should hire a professional to do an inspection.
I always look under the car, in the trunk, under the hood, and everywhere else can think of.
Granted I'm not a mechanic but how does a car move with no driveshaft? Did I miss that is was 4-wheel drive?
@@pfadiva That particular vehicle was all wheel drive. Removing the drive shaft just stops the rear wheels from spinning.
@gen157 thanks for the reply. I figured I missed something somewhere.

All mechanics should know how to drive manual.
I never learned to drive cars with manual transmissions either. Never had the opportunity to learn. That said, when I was working, I made a mental note of all the mechanics I worked with who knew how to and would ask them to take care of moving the vehicle or just trade the job to them for one they had but didn't want. Simple as that. The key was to not have any misplaced notions of self pride. It's not a big deal if you can't do something. Just own up and ask for help or ask someone to teach you.
I work at a Subaru dealership and we had a couple new guys that couldn't drive stick. I daily drive a manual Ford Focus. Gave them lessons, just so they can get the cars around. The problem for most people is finding someone who drives a manual car these days.
Well said. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help when you need it, be ashamed when you didn't ask.
For what it's worth, I shopped very hard to find a manual car, and still I have no reasons why it's better, any more than I could argue that blue is the best color. You aren't missing much.
@@j_taylorManual gearbox is better than auto as it lasts longer and can be repaired. Automatic transmission goes out, junk the car in many cases...
Or the new guy said he couldn't and nobody else could (or want to) and they said just do it. We have examples of this happening a lot more in recent times so I'd lay off jumping to conclusions.
@@thatguybrody4819 I tell a story about when I was working and you have this hallucination that I'm talking about the guy in the video? I have no idea what that situation was outside what we saw. To say anything about it is pure speculation. I was talking SPECIFICALLY about my experience while working and how l, more often than not, have found that if you're willing to humble yourself and ask for help, you will get it. If you're not going to follow along with the rest of the class, we ask that you don't interrupt, in fact, just stay home.
3:31 I didn't know how to drive a manual, but sure didn't drive OVER another car when learning. WTH?
Gotta love the Stellantis quality on the 2024 Ram!
The Jeep one: are you judging that there’s rubber duckies?
The first clip shows why you should get the extend warranty. That Jeep driver must love going to the river and feeding the ducks. I don’t think you would want to know what happened when a car comes in with bullet holes. These clips are great keep going I wonder how many drivers would say junk it after seeing the bill for fixing their car?
0:15 Well, it sounds my old sewing machine 🤣

Everytime I think I've seen it all you guys show me something I scratch my head and go WOW 😅😂😅😂
If the tech didn't know how to drive a stick, why was he trying to move a customer's manual car?
Had me a few of those jaw-dropping moments there watching some of these.
That last clip reminds me of my actual first day in the last shop I worked in. It was located in the basement of an apartment building so there was a fairly steep ramp down and led directly to our two column lift. We had one car up there since the day before. I was just making ready to go out and start working when I hear a shreeking noise and a loud bang. I walk out and see a car under our raised car, smashed windshield and roof, and a woman just staring right infront of her. Luckily there was no major damage to the car on the lift and it didn't fall down either. That ladys car was to damaged to repair. Funny thing was, she wasn't even supposed to come down to us but to the shop next door for a tire change.
Holy smokes. I hope that was also your most violent day there!
Getting 176 miles out of a Ram pickup these days is actually pretty good 😂
The whole jeep duck thing is getting out of hand. There's at least one modern Cherokee and a couple renegades with a dashboard full of ducks. No one gave them those!
I don't know why this is a thing. Imagine how that trend would have gone over in the Pacific during WWII if the Marines had decorated theirs?

"the customer had the completely wrong air filter" I guffawed hard there, I _recognize_ that one, it's the same as the filter we use at work, on our wetrok combi scrubber (the drivematic).
That's just the optional 2 piece camshaft.
I get that the new guy doesn't know how to drive a manual, but I don't get why he doesn't just say so instead of wrecking two vehicles and nearly causing severe injuries or death. Why didn't someone else know this about the new guy?
3:05 the universal joint of my driveshaft to my rear axle broke once. So I removed it and made my 2000 Honda CR-V to a front wheeler. Everything is back again, but it took a while.

_"Jackpot!"_
how does not knowing how to drive manual result in THAT tho??
best guess, drives a bit too fast in first gear engine screaming at redline stamps on clutch thinking it's the brake slams into front of car by the lift get flipped up
Put it on one of those lifts you drive on to, left it in 1st gear, then started the car to check something with the engine running?
Probably just trying to get it to move from a standstill and launched it hard.
I swear, some people drive their car to the shop, praying the mechanics will clean up their car for them.
I worked in a shop for a while, doing front and alignments and wouldn’t do one car because it was too filthy primarily with cigarette butts and ashes everywhere and I can’t stand that smell.
It wasn’t too much later that the boss let me go for being “too picky“.
One of the things I was too picky about is there’s seven points that must be done for a proper alignment and he only wanted me to do the first three and shoot it out the door and I wouldn’t do that.
Fk him.😂
Please share the name and location of the shop so others can avoid it.

I just saw an ad with Tom Brady promoting Hertz. Paying your yearly budget for a celebrity is not the best choice in a failing company.
I have a good ending “I can’t drive a stick” story. My wife’s best friend was expecting her first baby so my wife and a few other friends threw her a surprise party. Part of the deal was, her husband, myself and a few other husbands/boyfriends moved all the cars to a local church. The husband/father-to-be got in his boss’s car and tried to start it. “Hey, something is wrong with LT’s car, it won’t start.” I told him, “dude, you gotta push the clutch in to start it.” “Nope, can’t drive this. Can you?” Well, I grew up with manual transmissions, so yup.
I'd hate to try driving 'stick' after not doing so in about 20 years; I'd probably be as bad as a new stick driver!
