    Thank you, PawPaw, for making this video. My son's alternator went out on the same car. I would have spent hours showing him how to do this after I figured it out. Your video is letting him learn as he goes. Thanks again!!!

    Hi Bob, Good video. It had some information that I hope somebody will learn from. Question would you have been able to do that before you started the Fat Train? It good to see you back being able to do things again. Also did I miss the Fat Train video for this week? Thanks again from Snowy Idaho

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 років тому

      Filming the Fat Train right now. It will be up tonight. Before Feb 1st, I was waiting on a friend's car lift to be available so I could work on the VW door. Since I dropped weight, I have no problem now. Just gotta drop more !! Thanks for watching !

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 років тому

      And as far as doing things...... I have no desire to go outside and "do things" when it is cold !!! LOL !!!

  • @redskin4040
    @redskin4040 6 років тому +1

    Well I stayed the same in weight this week. At least there's no gain. Back hard on the fat train this week.

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 років тому +1

      There is no pain if there is no gain !!! My week was probably painless as well, will know later today !

    DId you keep count of how many push ups and sit ups you did while changing that thing. Of course there are the bicep curls and forearms work outs. Possibly a chance to practice some minor first aid too. Any time you work on your car there are so many benefits. Thanks for sharing.

  • @diegop2311
    @diegop2311 6 років тому +2

    Yes sir maintenance and do what ever you Can your self sure makes the difference to you initial investment in your car last longer. I've had my car for 10 plus years with a shoestring budget drove across country and back about do it again with 230 K on a 10 year old car. That said when I change the alternator on my Nissan Maxima and I cried for more than half the time I work did all the same steps you did except on different car amazing how much torture that is have to love thoses old GM V8 80s and older so much faster 20 minute job. Got 2 miss that. Thats funny about that 40k house thing. In northern California sf bay area the medium house is half a million and a house in bad areas start 400k and up 😁😂😥 so I guess no matter how beautiful it is here I live in a bad area I guess that's why I'm moving over to that area 😀

    • @DoingItCheap

      I cannot wrap my head around that big a number for a house. My farm with a 3 bed two bath home and nice garage with almost 22 acres was $162,500

    • @diegop2311
      @diegop2311 6 років тому

      Born and raised and can't afford to live here it's hard it image unless you live out here and you become used to it being normal. You can UA-cam SF Bay Area Housing and it will pop up a bunch of news clips.

    Gotta love those sideways motors lol I agree though I'd much rather keep my old 2000 suburban than pay the crazy prices they want for a new one my dad just bought a new Silverado he payed over 50 thousand and that wasn't even the sticker price don't get me wrong it's a nice truck I talk him into letting me drive it every now and then lol but I'm just fine with my old suburban

  • @shawn1472
    @shawn1472 3 роки тому

    I noticed when you checked the coolant you checked it from the cap. On my 2004 Dodge Stratus I have a bleeder. What is the part number for what the cap screws into And the radiator hose Clips onto? Like I said my radiator hose connects to a bleeder and I would like to switch it to a cap like yours.

  • @redskin4040
    @redskin4040 6 років тому +1

    I hate the way they build cars now. Nothing but a money racket. They try to for you to take it to get it fixed. I wanna go back to the 70's and 80's.

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  6 років тому +1

      Depends on the year. I thought this was fairly easy to do.

    Sir I have a 2004 Dodge Stratus 2.7 I've changed the alternator battery and new serpentine belt my car will not stay charged what can it be oh, and I put a new ECM in

    • @DoingItCheap
      @DoingItCheap  2 роки тому +1

      You can repay me by subscribing !! First, your battery needs to be fully charged. Charge it while DISCONNECTED from the car. This will make sure no constant drain is pulling it down while you are charging it. After fully charged, reconnect it, start the car and put a voltmeter on the battery. You should read in excess of 13.5 volts, more like 14.5. If all you read is 12 or 12.5 the alternator is bad. If you are getting a good voltage out of the alternator, take the battery and get it tested.

      OR, you can head to your local auto salvage yard as I did when I noticed one of the cars I bought at auction was missing it. (an 06 Stratus) and get change back from the cashier when you pay with a ten dollar bill.

      DoingItCheap those was well made cars. I remember my dad would sit on the fend and have room to work on stuff.

Then what gives you the right to tell me how to run MY channel? Do you subscribe to my channel or help me in any way? No? Then what makes you think I give a rat's rear what you think? You say you are a "deck"....... then GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY SINGULARLY !
