I cannot tell you how much money you have saved me and built my confidence when it comes to working on cars. I honestly used to just have my car serviced and I always got ripped off. Your videos and the great detail you put has helped me work on my own car. Your enthusiasm makes it really fun to work on and not a hassle when I have to maintain my vehicles. From your videos, I have been able to easily work on my Mazda RX8, Ford Explorer, and Jeep Compass. No longer will I have to spend thousands of dollars on mechanics when it will typically cost me less than 200 hundred and I learn something new. Thank you, Chris.
Awesome!!! I love hearing stuff like this! That is the goal by far! I spend so much time trying to make each video as detailed and concise as possible so you dont waste your time and learn a lot while still enjoying the video!
Speaking of RX-8 where's the apex seal tutorial ChrisFix
lol. Would be easier than piston ring tutorial. 13b Ftw
Solomon Cornish lol right. I think if you look up rx8-ls conversion you'll find it.
Very true. I was watching you when I was changing out the wheel hubs on my Gen Coupe.
No matter what you're fixing, you explain it so that everything is simplified and the average DIY mechanic can understand it. That's for the vids bro!
Thanks man! That’s the goal!
ChrisFix do you recommend a drinking game where every time you say “u-joint” I have to drink something? I’m not 21 yet soooo probably water
E Man being under 21 never stopped anybody else right? 😂🤷♂️
Snapped the 300th Like! - Hail to the ChrisFix King Baby !!! 😄 👍
@@eman7579 At least drinking habits will get U-Jointed together... (with people) 😄 👍
Hey guys!!!
I will be having a meet-up in Gainesville, FLORIDA on March 15th at an Advance Auto Parts at this address:
2018 SW 34th Street
Gainesville, FL 32608
Also, if you cannot tell the weather has been miserable this winter and working on cars outside is nearly impossible. I have been updating a lot on my Instagram @ChrisFixit but I am also trying out a new feature on my UA-cam home page here where I asked for you to guess my new car: ua-cam.com/users/PaintballOO7community
ChrisFix hay I would go if I trusted the 240 a little more XD
ChrisFix I sooo wish I could go, but I live in Ohio.
Chrisfix I'd love to come, but I'm in Virginia, so maybe if you come closer sometime!
ChrisFix About time you post
ChrisFix I wish i have a car but im 11 lol
As a seasoned tech myself I must say I’m impressed with your step by step, very descriptive instructions. Your happy go-lucky narration is a added perk for simplifying the process and subconsciously giving your watchers a touch of confidence. Well done sir.
Just think , 10 years ago, I paid the Nissan Dealer $600.00 to do this to my Little Nissan truck 'cause there was no vid or easy way to do this or change the U-joints.....That's $600.00 and all day waiting for them to do it....Goes to show you what kind of $$ you save by doing it yourself with a superb instructor like Mr Chris Fix showed here..!!!!,,Just saying..!!!!....You rock, Sir !!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😎😎
That’s crazy!!! Glad everyone is learning!
ToyManFlyer1100 I paid 600 for my first car lol
There thief s
I am...Your vid on drum brakes saved me a ton!!!!!..And showed it wasnt as hard as I thought!!!!..Yeah, Those "Stealerships" are a wolf in sheep's clothing...And the thing that gets me is "Shop supplies"..What is that??..$20.00 for paper towels???? or the same shop rag thats gets used on about 4 or 5 cars that day????
I know, Right??..Mines was a '71 Ford Pinto...$400.00 and drive away....Lol..!!!
I swear if Chris Fix did a video on heart surgery then after watching it and getting pumped up with positivity I'd go out and attempt it.. Love ya videos Chris.. Every angle covered!
Haha, that's awesome!
jayc changing oil and filter on 2008 buick
😂😂😂 he makes things look easier, i don't think if he knows that he is the best teacher
Hhahhaha i know right! I dont have a vehicle with ujoints but now i want to find someone that does and fix em
I was thinking more like knee or hip joint replacement surgery. I mean really, once you get over the aspect of working inside a human body it’s pretty mechanical use of tools etc. How hard can it be? Medical grade sawzall or Dremel to cut out the old part; drill some holes; titanium screws and bolts to install the new joint, lubrication. Done.
This man deserves an honorary doctorate in teaching and performing vehicle maintenance. Production and editing quality is brilliant! Absolutely superb videos!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you love the videos!
Totally agree!!
Chris keeps it simple.
Heis videos are superb
The editing quality is amazing Indeed!!
I've probably watched 100s of auto repair videos over the years, and this is by far the best video I have seen. The video is high resolution, the shots are clear, the edits are sharp, and the flow is quick and crisp. No fluff or wasted time. Amazing job! Thank you!
This guy is better than most instructors I've had in school.
Hahaha I know right, I’ve thought similar
My autoshop teacher actually will on occasion use a Chrisfix video as part of a lesson
My instructor is making my class watch this lol
That's the God's honest truth
Are you from Croatio
At 50 years plus I can't tell you how many U-Joints I have replaced. From Toyotas to Chevys and Fords, but I actually learned something new watching this video. 3 Million subscribers and still responding to comments you indeed have a sub for life. Good Job Chris!
Awesome!!! I love hearing you learned something new even with all that experience!
Its uncommon for someone to explain something so comprehensively. It takes effort to put yourself in the mindset that removes the assumption of basic knowledge of any subject, this guy nails it! Nice job, thanks.
Your videos are great. You don’t give us 10 min of non-sense jabber. You explain what your goal is and your step by steps are great. Easy to understand for even the novice. Anytime I do a “first time for me” on my vehicles, your videos are at the top of my list to watch first. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks a lot!!! Glad the videos are helpful!
GEEZ! This video pops up on my main page literally the day after i just spent $650 at the dealership to replace the drive shaft and U joints. I will check this channel before i take my truck anywhere ever again. U rock ChirsFix!
Same mate. I just spent $350 for it..
That's a expensive R&R.
@Gregg Sinini did you understand his sentence? Everyone else did
Chris, you're a wonderful instructor. I particularly like the way you clearly explain how to do each step, and then repeat the explanation. That's a very effective teaching technique. Many thanks.
Thanks a lot!
The effort you put into your videos is insane. Really high quality, you clearly care. Thanks Chris 😀😀🔧👍🚗
Thanks a lot!
Your info on the plastic retainers is a LIFE SAVER BRO!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
No problem!
I love how much you care about the subscriber and people who watch your videos, you got the whole drive shaft just to show us how it’s done, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate that thanks Chris.
Thanks man! The goal is to help as many people as possible so I thought it would be important to get a driveshaft just for that extra info!
I just spent 20 minutes learning how to replace U joints. I don't have a car.
But now you know how to replace U joints if you ever get a car that has them!
And you can help your friends replace theirs!
ChrisFix dont delete your channel in the next few years, i need those vids for a project car lol..
TheBillusBillus me too
Lmfao
Only Chris would be the one to go to a junkyard and find a different style of driveshaft just to make sure all the bases are covered on the replacement of the U joint. You really outdid yourself. Awesome job man!!
Thanks a lot!!!!
Extra STAR for that.
Thank you! For not only repairing your specific vehicle but showing every option people might come across and how to do it in many different ways! As well as the symptom’s actually driving your truck and showing some signs .Your the best automotive instructor on the planet
As a mechanic myself, I just LOVE LOVE watching your videos! You do everything thoroughly and right. Very professional work. Sadly, there aren't many mechanics out there that care for their job as much as they should though :(
Aslan Makhsudov true! Hey bro, cud use ur help if you dont mind? On my trucks drive shaft that connects to the alternator, I noticed splash of grease above it? What is it , transmission fluid??
Could be numerous of things, generally if it is around driveshafts it is from leaky seals.
@@D_Dowg626 Try topping off your blinker fluid in your radiator. I had the same issue where the oil pump fuse kept blowing out because of the static electricity of the floor mats. Do that and you'll gain a easy 50 whp and 8 psi of boost!
That's because customers always try to blame Mechanics for shit that we didn't even fucking touch
Aslan Makhsudov how do you find out what u joint fits in your drive shaft and yoke??
Clear to-the-point narration with great camera work and editing. You Are Awesome!!!
Probably
one of the most concise mechanical explanations I have come across thanks
Oops probably one of the most concise mechanical explanations I have come across thanks
Agreed!
So I watched your video ten times, then actually changed my u joint. Then I've watched your video like 50 more times because it's just so awesome and never gets boring.
Thanks a lot!!! That really means a lot!
Its people like you that make life a little easier. thanks for the video... great job
You just need your own TV show dude. Thumbs up if you agree!
Thanks!
@@chrisfix I can see it now, ChrisFixit! New on Discovery.
I rather not. He has 100% creative freedom on youtube. Places like discovery will chage everything. Remember Roadkill?
Disagree. It'll be hell trying to search videos on TV.
Networks would screw it up.
Chris uploaded! There's no better way to end my day😉
Me too!!
IBeSonic for me to start the day as it is 6:30 am over here
If ChrisFix does it in 22 minutes, it takes me 2 days
Ian Logan ME TO! But still love to do it myself! I really enjoying working on my car now!
Yeah, really.
You need the parts then the tools then a Vice and a shop...that's 2 days.
Oh, I think if Chris didn't edit his videos as much as he does, you'd find that it takes HIM a lot more than 22 minutes to see a project to completion. His brake fluid replacement video took probably an hour of prep before the camera even began rolling. He had the Mazda on no fewer than 4 jack stands and the differential was supported by a floor jack.
Steve Walther ppl nm
I was gonna make how to videos but Chris fix covers it all. Do not waste your time with anyone's videos. He covers it ALL
Your production quality is second to none Chris!
I love the show Wheeler Dealers as it shows the technical side of car repairs. However, I’d much rather watch one of your videos.
Discovery could learn a thing or two from you.
Thanks a lot Brent!
Such a shame what they did to Ed
They ruined that show
Pid I know right I can’t stand the show now it’s sad.
I’m 14 and I have learned so much from you videos. The amount of work that you put into you videos is insane. I love you channel. Best channel yet because you focus on quality and not quantity and I love that. Thanks so much. You have helped me gain confidence with helping my dad on cars and saving money. Have a good one. LOVE IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tbh I'm going through shit (nothing that much important, it's all my fault and mostly in my head.), it's 3am here, but you're there and I have something to watch now :)
I hope it gets better dude! Just remember that the bad times reminds you how amazing the good times are!
Always darkest before the dawn INMOTA ! Things will get better
ChrisFix ...aspiring chef, Marine Biologist, vehicle repair and drift enthusiast, and now a potent purveyor of proverbial passages. You are truly an inspiration man.
Hope things get better for you. Love from 🇨🇦
me too man... what to do on these restless nights.
Saved me with the plastic retainers man !!!! Thank you so much, God bless !!!
and thats how you become the most legendary diy channel in youtube
Thanks
Can you please make a drum to disc brake conversion video
Yes
nice
Mudassar Malik been waiting like 2 yrs for him to make that video when he teased us about it
Mudassar Malik MCM did one. You can check their channel
ChrisFix I have a drum brake car and the parts for a disk brake if you want
*scrolling through UA-cam*
*notification that ChrisFix has a video*
Me: Ooooooo ChirsFix
Ohhhh yeahhhh
Same here 😀
I've worked on my own vehicles all my life and changing U-joints is something I've done as well. What I DIDN'T do when working on my U-joints is to mark the bolts to check for travel after a test ride. That's a fantastic idea! When I did it, I would tighten the bolts and then re-check the tightness after a day or two of driving. Loc-Tite is a must as well! Great video! Thanks for sharing! This week I'll be changing all the U-joints in my motorhome. Fun times. LOL Take care.
Perfect timing *ChrisFix* !!! Mine are going out on my old Ranger, so I appreciate this more than most.
Awesome! Glad the video was helpful!
Its very easey like he said i did it on two explorers
Finally somebody using UA-cam for something worthy thanks keep up the good work👨🏫🛠👌
Thanks! Glad the video was helpful
Best Car Repair Tutorial I have ever seen on UA-cam.
You haven't seen his other ones then 😁
WHAT THE HELL?!!... This is some of the BEST instructions I have seen on UA-cam!! You NEED to create a COURSE! Of course, that is way easier said than done because the scope of doing so would be huge. But, I am shaking my head in awe. You are truly a VERY knowledgeable Mechanic AND Instructor. I have now subscribed. Thank you.
Wake up see notifications chris is back then first thing to do is to watch it
Thanks for the support!
Me too! ☺
Same
FINALLY A NEW VIDEO I BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS!! 😭😭😭
Yesssss
I was waiting for ages to
Such an awesome video, Chris. I helped my friend replace a U-Joint on his truck a few years ago and I’m really upset your video wasn’t there to help us. It would have been SO much easier with your help!
Thanks man!
Just did my first install today after watching your video. I did the hammer trick because the joint was a little tight and it worked. Very straight forward, clear instructions and high quality videos. Just subscribed! Thank you so much.
my step dad has changed my trucks u joints like 6 times on my truck in the last 15 years, the truck has 610,000 kms,
if i still have my truck to the point where it needs it again, thanks to your video i think im going to do it myself,
i have been looking for an exuse to use all the toys i have boughten from your xmas videos
one last note my trailer got a flat and i had my breaker bar and my impact gun didnt have to use the breaker bar but i changed the tire in like 1 minute with the gun in -30 weather, no idea where its been all my life THANKS AGAIN for your great videos
Haha awesome man! Glad the video was helpful!
ChrisFix where would you recommend buying an impact gun from
19:50 - Chris, you are such a pro. You went the extra mile (as always) and covered every conceivable angle. You can't really improve on this any further, I feel. Thumbs up.
GM is such dogshit, plastic u joints
Finally new episode ChrisFix
Yessss
Yeah finally, next waiting for ChrisFix April fools :D
I have been a mechanic for 42 years. I really enjoyed your video very informative. It I s great for someone who's never done anything like this before. Awesome job great video my man. Robert Moore
lmao, perfect timing. I literally have to change a U-Joint this week and ChrisFix posts about the very topic. No excuses for me now lol.
Perfect!!! Glad the video was helpful!
I was wondering what that noise was, thanks Chris!
You're the man Chris! Without a doubt the best DIY channel on UA-cam.
Thanks!
As a backyard mechanic and a presenter, I can say this is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Perfection all the way. Extremely well done.
I've been looking through several videos on how to do my u-joints and this is by far the most informative and best video quality and editing. What I thought was going to take me a while (I'm no mechanic) actually only took me under an hour. Just rented the press from the parts store and bought the upgraded joints thanks to your info. Thank you for the info.
I'm glad you found the video helpful and you got the upgraded joints!
Wow I’m only 16 I just got my license, I don’t work on any of the cars I drive but I always find these videos soo entertaining, always watch till the end,. great videos Chris keep them coming!!!
Thanks a lot man! Hopefully you are not only enjoying the videos but learning a lot!
those transitions were incredibly clean
Wow! I was searching for a video that shows the correct way to do universal joints on a pickup truck and I found it here! My grandson replaced his universal joints on a 1990 something, Chevy S-10 pickup and he now has extreme vibration! He had no experience to do so, and got himself in a whole lot of trouble now. I understand, that his driveshaft is the type with a center bearing, which probably made it worse. He marked nothing before he started, not knowing the correct procedure. I will send him this video link. I don't know if he will be able to overcome this situation. This video here is absolutely perfectly done, the best I have seen so far on UA-cam in all respects!
I have learned more about cars from you then I have learned in my 28 years put together, after I started watching your videos I went out and bought a rough 90 Supra and have brought it back to life thanks for all your hard work has saved allot of us so much money and frustration it's much appreciated
That is so awesome! Send me a pic of the Supra! I would love to see it!
For sure man, silly question but how would I go about doing that?
You have one of THE best automotive channels. Amazing explanations. Great voiceovers. Just perfect videos. Bravo sir.
Thanks a lot!
I could watch your videos all day!!! You are literally the only UA-camr I don't get tired of! I find these videos so entertaining!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks a lot man! That means a lot!
"Just Like That" is My favorite phrase. Thank you Chris for sharing your vast knowledge. It is not only extremely helpful but it has saved a lot of us a lot of money.
Superb as always!!
Thanks!
Lmao SuperB is actually a car. :D
When I saw how long the vid was I was like no way am I gonna watch a 22 min vid. But once I clicked on it I couldn't stop watching , I might watch it again 😂
Haha awesome! I spend so much time making every second worth your while. I really wanted it to be 12 min but I couldn’t cut any of the info out because it was so important
your vids are awesome, dont make short ones!
By far, the best automotive repair videos on the internet, bar none. Thanks, Chris.
Your detailed video inspired me to revisit the u-joints on my 1960 Sprite. While I have the axle out for servicing all major seals, I had overlooked this part of the maintenance. The part about the grease displacement from the bearing boots is a great one because I had thought I was putting grease in, but on 2nd review the nipples needed to be freed from old dried grease. What gave me confidence that I could get grease in via the nipples was a test squirt with the gun before reinstalling. The final part being the grease that is displaced out the boot.. She looks ready for work now. Cheers!!
YES NEW CHRISFIX VIDEO it brings a BIG smile to my face when your video pops up in my notification feed
Thanks a lot man!
ChrisFix your videos are my favorite ones to watch when it comes to car repair and maintenance!
Thanks for making these videos. I would have never known how to fill up my blinker fluid with out your help.
haha I am glad you are learning a lot!
Honestly I'm 16 and don't have a car but I still love to watch your videos
Thanks for the support James!
Its ok
I'm 9 and ik alot
Even I'm 16 but love watching his videos , I'm a car enthusiast n wish to become an automobile engineer
I got my first car about a year after I started watching his videos, since then I have changed my cars oil, air filter, both front brake calipers, brake pads and rotors, brake lines, and rear wheel cylinders. I would be enslaved by dealerships and mechanics if it weren’t for Chrisfix
thank you !
i’ve been plagued with a seized caliper & seized bleeders all around courtesy of my denali’s previous owner :) but then i heard that cyclic squeaking & knew it wasn’t my brakes & it wasn’t my hub… i’ve replaced my fair share of hubs… & this was different.. added the metal on metal clunk i heard as i pulled in my drive(not while shifting)& i knew it wasn’t my hub or brakes… i’ve had all the wheels, calipers, etc pulled for 4 days & been stuck in my work truck…. this video has literally helped beyond measure! sure enough, i’ve got 2 failed u joints. i would have had a few more headaches i’m sure had i not seen your video.
(at least my calipers got a restore & bleeders extracted.. & a much needed brake flush!)
thanks for taking the time to educate people about their vehicles. im self taught. & i love to learn more.
This is one of the best U-joint videos I've seen. Great optical clarity in your images and your narration is way up there. Now I have the confidence to do my 06 Dakota.
Dont do it. I regret trying to do it myself.
Can’t beat a Chris fix video 👊🏻
Thankssss
ChrisFix 👌🏻
Nope! But you can beat your wife! :)
HiptonismHD 😂😂😂
HiptonismHD haha
Chris: walks into auto parts store.
Employees: here we go again.
Aidan Glendenning lmao had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣 looks like he doesn’t even go to parts stores... when you’re Chris Fix, parts stores send him parts...
Hey guys!!!!
Employee: hey Chris........
@@freeaudiobooks7469 its chris fix. Show some respect.
@@B_HarTz no, parts store come to him.
Me when I go to Napa
I never thought I could do mechanical work until I saw this guy, his teaching and method is so easy to follow, and very practical thanks heaps mate
Definitely!
Absolutely Great tutorial! I have never done u joints and I don't need to now. I don't even know how I got here , but I'm glad I did. Thank you!!!
First time replacing a u joint and when I was done it was super tight. Watched this video and I’m super happy you added that note in hitting the driveshaft a few times. 👍
After doing a uj job I think I would recommend going back and greasing the joints after a bit of driving. The movement seems to allow you to pump quite a bit extra grease in there. You'll get driveline vibration all over again if there's insufficient grease for the long haul.
I’m a simple guy
I see ChrisFix notification, I hit like
Thanks for the support!
Same here
ChrisFix no problem✊🏿
Flawless video. He even went through the trouble of getting and extra drive shaft with plastic injected U joints, to make sure that, no matter what drive shaft you have, you will learn how to replace the joints.
Outstanding presentation! It's been almost forty years since I last replaced a U-joint. This was an excellent refresher. Well done ChrisFix
Wow you did a heck of a repair!... Please tell me where you got that U-joint!:)
That's pretty cool that Advance Auto Parts sponsors these videos. I usually go to Advance to get what I need for my Acura 3.2TL
He's back! :-) Outstanding video Chris. The same type of joints with clicking and clunking can also be found in your steering column. I replaced my intermediate shaft recently. I bet the road salt used in the winter got into those joints and helped make them worse.
Thanks and yes. I was going to include that info but decided to focus on the drivetrain only
It's no wonder why you rate at the very top for auto repair videos. You couldn't have explained things better.
This has to be, hands down, the best video on u-joint replacement on UA-cam. I feel confident tackling this job on my own now. Thanks a ton, man.
Thanks! Let me know how it goes!
By far one of the best instruction videos I have ever seen! Not one "um, uh" or anything even close! Very polished! Thank you!
I'm a car guy i see ChrisFix i press like :)
Thanks
ChrisFix love your videos bro !!
ChrisFix when you gonna super charge the mustang bud 🤔
we want more videos man
im a car guy and a simple guy
It's been too long, man. Thumbs up for another great vid!
Thanks man!
Timur Productions I thought car throttle mentioned Chiriss dads leg was hurt
All the information and education in 22 minutes with no time wasted. Awesome, thank you! And even live video from underneath the truck while driving, wow!
Thanks!
I really appreciate that enthusiasm you put on every video, feel so confident to fix any need of everything related with that maintenance of cars thanks so much
Thanks! Glad the video was helpful!
SHOUT OUT TO THE NOTIFICATION SQUAD FOR GETTING HERE FIRST!!!
Ian Pardee how comes you haven't been posting your one of my favorite youtubers and Ive been wanting to watch your vids
Represent!!!
I'm just always on youtube :D
ChrisFix You da man!
Ian Pardee Yeah man
The man, the myth, the legend is finally back!!! 🙇
Oh I've been back. Theses videos take forever and add horrible weather and it takes a while to finish one!
ChrisFix Worth the wait my friend! 👌
ChrisFix it’s all about quality
I thought you'll say at the end was martiiiiiiiiiiiiin. 😂
I was laying under my truck the other day and twisted the front drive shaft by hand. Found the source of a new vibration I noticed a few months ago. One of the u joints is going out. Unfortunately, the transfer case seal is leaking a little bit but not enough to drip. Looks like I will be fixing both issues very soon. I knew next time nothing about u joints till I found this video. Thank you. The task doesn't look so mysterious anymore.
I'm old school. we replace them when they break. It's simple to do this job without dorections. Chris your channel is great.
So once you see the driveshaft in your rear view is when you decide to replace the u joints? Very dangerous sir...
@@AdrianMartinez-eb9wu check things regularly and you usually know when something isn't acting right and it's actually time to replace it
I just found these videos and I am impressed. This guy is a great teacher. Clear and concise. Not only is he a great teacher and mechanic, but his videography skills and editing are first rate. Good Job Chris.
Thanks a lot!!
Hey Chris, thanks for the wonderful vid. I replaced my rear u joint in our old family truck, and she rides smoother and quieter. The squeaking has ceased, and I’m happy. Wouldn’t of had the confidence to try it without your help. Keep up the good work.
That's what I love to hear! Thanks a lot!
Very well done, Sir! This video popped up after I watched a "How To" specific to my truck. Yours is MUCH better.
Making a complete cylinder head service by chris fix, thats will be awesome!
Good idea
That’s a cool idea actually!
Im stoked of that!
Thanks Chris! I'm doing an engine swap on my uncle's 1965 Bel Air and couldn't figure out how to take off the drive shaft. Thanks!
No problem! Good luck with the swap!
If you're doing an engine swap and can't figure out how to take off a drive shaft that's so easy please hire a professional
art vandelay dude, everything has an inch of grease and we have limited tools. And I'm only 14, and this is my first swap.
America's Firstborn your dad must be awesome!
Wafa Mohidin he is a very good guy, he taught me everything I know!
I've replaced many u-joints, even using the methods you used in this video, and I still watched the whole thing. Good stuff..
unreal i began to wonder if someone made a lagit on point hands on with good visual video and a follow up on symptoms and causes.the hand gestures along with clear spoken enthusiastic voice ...i have to say it brought me to the point of even giving a comment or review .ty very much . the breakdown is what i needed .
You make it look so easy. I’ve been at it since 11am. It’s 6pm now lol about to through truck in trash lll
Lol...I can relate. Two I was able to get on but the other two is half on and wont budge or move any further. I have to now pay a mechanic to fix my problem.
@@oneloveyessah watch out sometimes you will accidentaly knock the roller pins into the bottom of the cab and you will not be able to fully install the ujoint and if you force to hard you will break the loose needle pin
Another great how to video Chris! Your videos are incredibly detailed giving the viewers all the information they need to get over the intimidation factor! Well done!
Thanks! That’s the goal. This stuff isn’t hard once you know what to do.
I love this guy!! I just recently started working in the automotive industry and these videos Chris creates have tremendously helped me understand the tasks that the technicians must complete. Thanks for your work and attention to detail.
ChrisFix, you have a special way of conveying information so that a dude like myself can understand and learn from your advice. Not only do you make it easy to follow but im having a blast learning from you. The energy and positive tone you carry actually encourage me not only to watch more of your content but to want to get hands on with the experience. Thanks for helping me get in the zone.
