You know, the spring welded around the Cat seemed like a decent solution
2:01 Holy. But that beat though 🤣
I have to get this speaker. Sounds really good
@@darius.schulz yeah!
You can tell how much he sits there doing that for the crowd, the bumper is burned away!
Car for sale: 1000mi on engine rebuild
"And 100hours at rev limiter in parking lots till the exhaust is yellow"
I'm gonna be sampling that for sure.
It sounded like a drumline.😂
to be honest, that suspension spring over the cat isn't a terrible idea. if you've ever been forced to cut through one of those springs you know how ridiculously hard it is to cut through one.
I think that's the point, anti-theft
but you would just cut the pipe at the ends of the spring.....
@@TheCreedBratton it's welded to the car. you'd free the cat, but you'd still need to cut the spring loose to get it.
They are using industrial diamond impregnated cut off disks no problem.
@@UQRXD nothing is gonna stop you from stealing a cat, all that is meant to do is make the thief choose a different target
2:15 "HAL, TURN THE HEAT DOWN!", "I can't let you do that Dave"
1:06 For the record I use those oil filter pliers correctly now.… we all gotta start somewhere 😂
I mean it did come off.
If that's the worst prank that gets played on you during your apprenticeship then consider yourself extremely lucky 😂
@@DjDolHaus86 🤣🤣 fair point. Wouldn’t change a thing tho, gotta get through the day somehow
Your parents didn't love you did they?
@@darksu6947 nope. Believed in taking it in for everything. Thought working on your own stuff is stupid.
That steel mill truck is crazy!
@@deanmikehotmailcom here in northern Indiana all our cars are rustbuckets, even 2010 cars
That coating is limestone. In the electro arc furnace method they use finely crushed limestone for flux that then becomes dross. The dross is poured off into a pit where it cools and solidifies. It then crushed again to be reused. At this point it has the chemical properties of concrete powder. When it gets wet this is what happens. It coats everything in the mills. Including the locomotives that I did work on for them as a contractor.
This stuff is extremely costic and causes things to rust like crazy. Steel mill trucks don’t last very long. The tires are filled with foam because of all the scrap metal laying around.
I wanna see some meth head cut those cats off.
@@ryandavis7593 So if we ran
vinegar through a power washer it would come off?
@@ryandavis7593 Yeah, I was going to say a concrete plant truck.
The EV with the generator was hilarious.
We got Renault Kangoo ZE's at work and they're electric, they got a diesel burner in them because otherwise you won't get any heat
I see no irony here, no sir.
Hybrid technology, in a less convenient form.
Not to mention how much "fossile" fuel is burned to produce battery and electrical energy needed for electrical car
They ran out of electrons and nobody could bring them a can of electrons to get them to the next station.
honestly i'm more surprised by the strenght of some of those cars, still being able to drive at all with suspension just not attached anymore
Hello friends....
I try to simple repair and some new things for my car and I make video that's and put this videos in UA-cam, I try make a UA-cam channel...I hope everybody will like that's and I can help to somebody about repair of give ideas !!!!!!
5:31 now I know the cat converter theft thing is big in some areas. Doesn't seem to be "news worthy" in SE Florida but watching these kinds of videos I see it is a big problem in other areas. So honestly this is the best anti theft rig I have seen so far. Seems to be an automotive coil spring around the cat then welded to the frame thus allowing the natural shaking of the exhaust system to not be restricted or be in contact causing rattling sounds. My question is how did they open the ends of the spring to allow the fat part of the converter in? The spring diameter on each end is well smaller than the diameter of the converter. This is a clever design.
Might have flexed the spring to open a gap OR out of sight behind the cat could be a joint where the spring had been cut in half.
Rechecked...on the bottom corner 5:23 you see a welded spot on the coil.
The issue I see with this is that they can just cut further up on the exhaust and cut the spring free from the frame...but it might be enough the deter the honest criminal
@@omni_mtb3210 No amount of protection beyond guarding the entire exhaust will stop them. The coil spring shroud does enough that it will make it more trouble than it's really worth (ideally) to remove. Especially if the thief is trying to scrap them ASAP. Take this one to the scrap like it is & being an average Nobody could draw attention.
@@RuralTowner agreed
He may have been a victim and had it added while the converter was replaced. Cat converter theft thing is big thing here. I only paid $700 for mine. Wish I thought of that.
9:20 ... At least those Cat Converters are safe from thieves. XD
That alternator is just a Thermionic generator.
I thought the coil spring over the cat was a good idea and lateral thinking, its a good deterrent in most cases, a cat thief wants a quick in and out, gotta chop through a coil spring too? nah move on
just chop around it...
@@Random-nf7qbcan't chop around it if it's welded to the frame
To anyone, especially off-roaders, find yourself some place that does an underbody wash and have it done every now and then or after going off-road. You can do it yourself but it's a pain. Also, it might be a good idea to coat your underbody in something that'll protect it before going off-road. Here in Australia we have Inox Mx3 which works really well.
places with snow ice and salt use caned stuff or even just oil to coat there undersides you get bonus points if you have the underside painted
After mudding I would leave a cheap $10 alternating lawn sprinkler under the truck and just move it to a different section every hour or so. Unless you live somewhere with water shortages.
I think that "mud" is from working at a mine...
@@volvo09 Steel Mill. The slag and ash goes everywhere.
I would refuse work, until the owner cleaned it up before I touched it. I am here to diagnose and repair, not clean up a mess that someone created.
7:12 My '11 Honda Civic did this too. My solution, much like the clip, was to hit the dash in *just* the right place and *just* the right amount of force. At the end of the day, I stopped caring because it still showed me how much gas I had it just looked funky. The only solution was to replace the unit or plug depending which side of the connector was going bad.
8:19 Mechanic: yeah, it'll be a couple weeks
Owner: but I just need a tire rotation and new brake pads
Mechanic: yeah mate, couple weeks.
iunno, he looked more competent than the first guy removing that oil filter... definitely no cringe in that clip...
other than...damn monkey! its RH, righty tighty! get it right ya damn simian!
oh. no. monkey brighter than that... gotta turn it back every half turn to break the chip ;)
monkey sitting there going... hey? you havent heard of spiral flute taps yet? man, im sick of this archaic old crap... i need a new job...
2:48
“I think my clutch slippin’....“
-“What clutch?“
0:50 that’s actually the correct technique for most spin on filters because manufacturers like to make filters for routine maintenance inaccessible
yep, gotta make those billable hours somehow
There was enough room where he could have been at an angle and still made it, but they also make caps that fit on the bottom of the filter and use a 1/2" ratchet to remove.
Like Subaru in the late 2000s. Putting the oil filter in the gap where the exhaust manifolds meet and go into the pipes. Can't get a tool in there, but you want to wear gloves so you don't slice your hand open
@@adamthompson4072 i recall a certain camry shoved the filter under the headers... of course, the prick would have just driven 40km at twice the posted limit and expect it to be serviced immediately. no WAY am i reaching in THERE with them pipes still glowing dull red ya wanker! heres a deal... you reach in and remove it, ill give you a five dollar discount, hows that? oh. its not worth five dollars to burn yourself? so you wont complain when i charge double because i have to burn myself?
and then the steel coolant hose buried at the back, where its impossible to inspect would fail sometime in the next week... i learnt after that... pressure test camries on services, just in case. better that pipe bust in the shop than on the freeway interstate...
8:00 I could watch this little Capuchin all day.
3:15 suspension is really independant
🤣
"I think my wheel isn't on right..." Then get out, get a tire iron, and tighten the friggin lug nuts!
9:42 this guy never has to worry about rust
POV: When the car manufacturer is in "mindless drone" mode and accidentally puts one of the dashboard turn signal arrows in backwards 😆
The guy loosening the oil filter shall become champion of hand pressing
Dude that stang drum beat with thw snare and high hat was dope
8:05 A real Grease Monkey. That's cool.
The pickup from the salt mill is incredible.
2:10 that car got the rythm
that coil spring cat is genius
I can’t help but to agree. I am just wondering how they got it in the coil?
@@ryandavis7593 Sawed the cat off themselves, slid it into the coil, and welded it back on.
Really? Just saw further down the exhaust pipe. That spring is stopping nothing.
@@NIGHTOWL-jf9zt the spring is also welded to the subframe , even cutting further down it's still stuck in the spring....not fool proof but 10x the time and effort to remove which means far more chances of being caught with far less potential profit....most thieves will just go elsewhere
@@NIGHTOWL-jf9zt can cut through that thin walled exhaust pipe in 1 minute with a DeWalt with a metal blade...that spring needs to be cut in at least 3 places maybe more (because it's welded up in multiple places) but its going to take 10-15 minutes and probably multiple blades and charged batteries. Criminals can gut a fleet of 20-30 trucks in the time it takes them to do one of these.
5:20 How to secure your katalyser from being robbed, very cool !
5:34 So.. couple of things there. Turn car off, open door, wait 60 seconds, close door and restart... If still exists hold down volume and tune button on radio until it goes black and "restarts". Else I believe it needs a software update, and if that isn't it... RIP pos head unit/entire car control unit.
That crap from chrysler/fiat is the worst I've ever dealt with... nothing but constant issues. Fun fact THAT controls EVERYTHING. The dials and buttons? Nope. Those are run off the computer too... so if the touch screen doesn't work, neither does the buttons/dials.
8:50 You FOOL! That was HOLDING it together!!
6:20 bro's "check alternator" light's up
I have the exact hammer that was used on the steel mill truck, best thing since sliced bread
That Coil over the Cat converter was Brilliant.
I'll tell ya man, I don't often subscribe, but your video was just cracking me up way past midnight. Great work.
To everyone thinking about talking shit about the “apprentice” . Our industry needs workers right now and talking down people isn’t going to help our shortage in good workers. We need to be good teachers and help motivate kids to take this career further. I actually work with this kid and he has advanced greatly since coming to our shop. He’s everything you could ask for in a guy just starting out. If someone is willing to be taught they are worth it in my eye, we are a dying breed! I understand poking fun but damn remember where you came from ! No one knows how until their told how. That shop lost him because they were unwilling to teach him , now he writes up 50-70 hours a week in inspections for our shop.
I admire that he found a solution and got the job done. I know many that would just give up saying “I can’t do it”.
If yall need workers so bad accept some applications then wouldn't ya
2:21 My only guess is that someone swapped the PCM from a manual into an automatic.
2:28 Makes a good anti-theft XD
-40 degrees on dash as well :)
As a truck driver I see alot of old rusty cars they normally merge dangerously slow in front of me I'm thinking that they have a extremely expensive repair quote and just rather I crash into them
And of course none of them are insured
5:22 it looks like someone had their catalytic converter stolen before, I've heard people had gone to more extreme lengths to stop that, such as someone rig some sort of circuit that if broken would drop the car completely to crush the person under the vehicle due to the airbag suspension in the vehicle.
Hello friends....
I try to simple repair and some new things for my car and I make video that's and put this videos in UA-cam, I try make a UA-cam channel...I hope everybody will like that's and I can help to somebody about repair of give ideas !!!!!!
That spring isn't going to stop anyone from stealing the cat. Cut above it and below it and you're good to go. That was a good idea in theory but not worth a damn in the real world
@@darksu6947 You need to speak to your optometrist rather soon. I hope you don't work heavy machines in the vicinity of other people.
Homie I love the airbag suspension idea. Just they go squish
I doubt that ever happened. You'd get charged with a felony if you did that, under the 'booby trap' laws.
It’s wild how I get pulled over for my exhaust but cars like these drive around daily
the truck in the last clip of the video that’s from a steel mill, his tires are heavy like that because he used a tire foam that’s used on industrial vehicles like small bobcats to make the tires never go flat and make them rock hard
That grease monkey at 8:00 is more intelligent than my last mechanic.
7:50 What every EV should carry w/ them in the same function as a small jug of fuel someone else might have.
Range extender. :D Funny part is, that particular BMW also comes in a version that has a range extender built in. :D
Nah, people with EVs don't forget to fill their car up. You don't "need" to carry around a generator if you're not a dunderheaded freak who doesn't pay attention to dash warnings.
Worst case, carry the charging cord with you and a $5 bill, There's always someone who will let you get somewhere in a pinch, especially for a profit.
2:59 this happens in my car too... of course, Renault.
3:25 this explains a lot
8:23 is the definition of “eh I’ll wash it later” and never wash it for like 3 years
Come on! The Coil Spring cat mount was genius! 😆 I love these videos!
That one was good!
@@volvo09 Very original 😆
@@frankfilippone9679 work with what ya got!
@@volvo09 Recycling at its finest
Oh dude, I would’ve gone straight for the air hammer chisel with all that mud 😂
That's insane. I think it's some sort of mine buildup.
I want to take a pressure washer to it and see how long it takes.
@@delgadorevolver if it's what I think it is it's like concrete and some parts are like "foamy" concrete.
It might be Lyme or calcium or something, I really don't know exactly what it is... But it's crazy hard and more like rock and concrete than mud.
If anyone knows exactly what it is let me know.
@@volvo09 The video mentions that the truck spends its time at a steel mill. If it were slag or some-such, one would expect that it would be metallic. That certainly seems more like concrete or lime than anything.
My original statement still stands though, I want to pressure wash the shit out of that truck.
@9+ it's winterized! I knew a guy how always go mudding in his fields, soils were mostly clay, before winter to coat the underside of his truck to protect it from road salt. It worked. He had a 15 yr old truck with no rust.
8:40 i want to take a hammer and chisel to that truck sooooo bad. it's gotta be cathartic as hell, like one of those pressure washer games.
I have a 2009 focus and the date only goes up to 2014. Not that it gets displayed anywhere but still
2:59 "Old Phone Dial Wheel" New optional feature.
That spring on the cat looks impressive. Unfortunately the tool commonly used to remove cats is just as effective at cutting protective cages.
I think maybe it was meant more as a heat shield, keeping the hot exhaust from clanging against the undercarriage. I might be wrong, though.
Put that spring under tension with the welds, maybe the energy releasing will break the cutting tool. At least scare the hell out of the thief.
@@Fying0strich Here's what I think happened. Criminals stole his old cat and when he got it replaced it the stole the new one too.
Well, I can't have that happen again
I mean if they're determined, sure. But it adds time and noise.
Thats not a cage, that is a spring. they are very difficult to cut through with reciprocating saws.
that cement is a rust prevention and he will never get his catalizator stolen
The coil spring was a anti-theft device for the catalytic converter. Smart.
5:20 That will discourage Cat Burglars
9:24 *good luck tryna steal that catalytic converter*
8.00. That's what you call a greasemonkey.
3:10 "wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle"
0:50 10 points strength, 2 intelligency
1:10 I mean in all fairness it DID work. And sometimes maybe there wouldn't be enough room to grab from side...
8:21 that's just the car's exoskeleton, a natural evolutionary trait
That steering wheel was possessed by the baphomet. 🤣
4:52 bro really wanted the extra break hp lol
1:14 I mean he ain’t wrong
That blinker was dabbing!😆😆😆😆
1:33 nascar blinkers
I get the extended warranty calls all the time. I drive a 57 plymouth!
0:46 to be fair, I've worked on vehicles where I need to do this. Thanks engineers.
that last one you would have to do an archeological dig to rediscover the underside of the truck.
I can’t believe how much mud was caked on the bottom of that truck!
I’m betting that last truck had jelly in the tires, not gas.
7:44 "Zero emissions! Green technology!"
2:03 sick beat bruh
Is there still no vehicle safety authority like the German " TÜV " ( Technischer Überwachungs Verein ) in North America ?
Vehicles with life risking damages have no chance to get a valid badge on the number plate, which is a visual indicator for the police that the vehicle is road safe.
Every 2 years all vehicles have to get that badge. If you don´t have a valid one you are in trouble !
In such a case the insurence will not pay anything if you are involved in a car accident, or when people get injured because of technical failure.
Irresponsibel behaviour to drive such vehicles.
Some states have required inspections but not all.
That would be government overreach, messing with my freedom, rights, telling what I can or cannot drive, etc.
@@1985230ce So your telling me that you want to be able to choose to drive a vehicle which is a death trap to you and OTHERS who are crossing your way on public roads ? Sorry but that is just SELFISH THINKING and nothing else .. and don´t you dare to tell me that you want freedom .. !
I am sure that there is also a law in the USA ( in every US State .. and in every country worldwide ) that vehicles which drive on public roads have to have seat bells and that you have to put the seatbelts on while driving with that vehicle on public roads, right ?
Why do you think this law has been made ?
To protect people in vehicles on public roads from getting severe injuries when traffic accidents happen ... and it´s not a wonder ... the death numbers in such accidents dropped massively after that law was passed by the government and enforced by the police.
So it was good for american people and the rest of the world and so is the idea of not allowing vehicles with severe technical problems to drive on public roads ... it´s for mankind .. its for safety of everyone .. not only your safety but for the safety of the others !!!
Cars with severe damages KILL PEOPLE because the material fails ! Do you want to kill anyone in your country by causing a traffic accident or do you want to avoid that accident from happening ?
So you all have to be forced by government to let REPAIR your vehicles damages to a standard which is considered safe !
You don´t live in wild west any more !
Act civilized if you want to be respected by others.
8:25 the car from the movie poltergiest!!! in the froozen parkinglot hahaha. cane!!!!!
None of these extended warranty companies will insure my 2016 Dodge Charger. Only has about 2500 miles on it. They seem to lose enthusiasm when I tell them that the low mileage is because I trailer it to and from the drag strip. Don't understand why.
Great video
Greetings from Cambodia
0:03 capybara
I think the spring around the cat was to help deter theft
5:20,
That's clever, VERY clever...
Dude, the hazard lights had me laughing so hard.
2:25 was hilarious
that caked truck just needs a good drive down a rainy road and piss off everybody behind
Tool use guide: If it works, you're doing it right.
A couple years back, we got this new hydraulic crimp fitting tool at work. The guys were reading the instructions and having a hard time getting it to work correctly. We came to the conclusion that it worked better with the sleeve adapter backwards. Not how the Mfr intended, but it worked so that's the way we still do it ;)
3:37 The detonation was heavy with this one...
5:20 - If it's stupid but it works, then it ain't stupid.
WAY too few comments about the helper monkey. Brilliant little critter.
That oil filter wrench action..................
2:03 sick beat yo lol
5:32 is not a problem, it's winning
2:03 great song
3:33 wasn't the brake alway a sugestion in a ford
That steel mill truck ain't nothing I have seen worse. I do there tires for them on pickup trucks, loaders, ect. I have worked on a f350 service truck before that had that same slag on the bottom and I kid u not it was 6 inches thick on the whole underside of the truck
I wanna see how that cat got inside the shock spring!!😂😂😂
The little monkey was very skilled ! 😅
Hey bud just for all your viewers out there this video that shows the coil spring around the Cadillac converter they did that so nobody can steal the Cadillac converters don't make fun of them they knew what they were doing that spring was just to protect somebody from stealing that Cadillac converter off that exhaust they weren't trying to put the spring on there to be a smart ass they did to stop somebody from stealing the Cadillac converter that's a good idea people should listen and watch
1:21 took me out lmao
0:40 i think the car can still detect the card close to it
Some of these are people paying a stupid tax for neglecting maintenance. Others show how the manufacturers do not supply vehicles with enough thought given to corrosion resistance making them death traps to drive. The areas with salt or ocean exposures cost consumers billions in lost value and early car and truck failures. The manufacturers must improve corrosion resistance with proper metals or very good coatings to prevent these issues to begin with. Brake lines are a known issue in areas that salt roads, there is no excuse for this sef destruction mode the makers build into their products.
