Now that's what I call good customer service. This is why you are so busy all the time. Thanks for another great video.
THAT,S NASTY
Hands down favorite tube channel. Big nasty wins again!
I sure wished you lived in Kentucky so you could work on my vehicles. You're the best and most honest mechanic I've ever seen. Love your videos and I love "BIG NASTY".
Astro Ball Joint kit is absolutely awesome!
Great video Mr. O!
Love your videos n the care you provide for your customer. Hard to find a mechanic that cares for his customers. I learn so much from your videos n apply the technique u you point out! Keep up the great work! Writing all the way from Alberta Canada.
A video featuring "BIG NASTY".... I couldn't imagine a better start to a Friday morning! Well done Eric! ~Mike
My wife bought my daughter a used 2001 Chrysler Sebring Sedan. I have already spent more fixing it than she paid for it. A HUGE THANK YOU for the videos. You have already saved me a few hundred dollars. Unfortunately I wasn't agile or patient enough to get to the blend door actuator, that ran me $830.00 at the dealership. Of course that saved me that much in visits to the chiropractor and the pain medication
That'd the Northern version of the car. The metered trans fluid flow prevents rust buildup on the subframe.
LMAO!!! Good one!
Very good. Only fluid that can save a Chrysler. LOL
Had to modify how we removed and installed the ball joint due to lack of a lift and no Big Nasty but watching the video helped my dad and I with the ball joint on my car. Also gave us a few laughs. Thanks for the video content. Keep up the awesome work.
You are a Gentleman and a Scholar! Nice work. Love your videos,always learning something new.
Great video Eric O! Your makin Chrysler's look easy lately.
Yeah, I"m happy too. That was a sweet fix, and save, on the trans. This is what a professional mechanic does that perhaps people don't realize or appreciate. Thanks for showing us how it's done!!
Baxrok2 I
Must have started leaking recently, since it was just in for a service not long ago, * cough, cough *
Thats what I’m talking bout, give Big Nasty a workout...I repair from the driveway and I make the most out my air tools. Makes life easier. Occasionally I would rely on a press. Love ur work, inspires me to tackle more arduous repair with a positive mindset
Ahhhh.......coffee and SMA. Great way to start the day.
Love ur videos and how u go above and beyond for ur customers
Nicely done. I have a friend with an '08 Avenger that needs this repair/replace. This vid will come in handy. Thanks for posting.
Eric 'O, amazing video! Great technique!
Another GREAT JOB by Eric O
Another SWEET video, Thanks Eric.
Everytime I watch a SMA video I learn something new about fixin' cars.
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for keeping a clean act. Just subscribed.
hey south main love your vids its nice to see you show the people what us techs go through keep killing the flat rate,
Great video Eric !
You’re a good man Mr. O.
super fast great job as always Eric o
Big nasty saved the day! I think your right about that being in a wreck. I noticed the writing on the air box like from a salvage yard. Nice extra for the owner.
New smoke machine in the background, can't wait to see it used on some crusty evap systems. another great vid as usual mr o
Great videos, and great sense of humor. Wish you guys yourself, Ivan, and etcg would stop showing me tools I just can't live without. Just got my Astro 40SL, but that's all I'll say in case my wife sees this. Keep them coming I'm addicted
You do a nice job!!! Thanks for the videos!!!
I could watch this channel all day
1. great camera effort like always.
2. suspension work best friend = big nasty!!!
good job Mr.O no many mechanics would have used their own enitive to do that.Well done .
P.S.,your videos are awesome.Please keep them coming.
Eric O. spreading the cheer.
Holy crap, that control arm tool is epic! Good catch on that transmission fluid leak. :D
That tool is awesome, isn't it!?
great work eric
Got so much out of this channel that I'm honored to become a Patreon.
Eric, many of other you tube channels like Chris Fix and Eric the Car Guy have shirts for sale in their store. You should have SMA shirts in your store that have a can of brake cleaner on the front and "WELL THERE'S YOUR PROBLEM LADY" printed on the back and sell it.
That would be a great shirt
I WOULD BUY _ONE _THREE
Appreciate the video! Similar setup to my 2010 Dodge Avenger. Big Nasty rules!
Excellent job thank you for sharing!!!!!!
Eric, I just want to say you are one of the few channels who I would actually consider contributing to through patreon (Paul Danner would be a close second). I'm a student and it's not really financially feasible for me to do so, so instead I try to teach those around me the things I have learned through you and everyone else in the UA-cam community. I try to tell everyone, "if I can do it, so can you" :p
Another awesome video made. Doing a 07 Sebring and it has the same set up. I can't believe you don't wear safety glasses or a face shield in most of your videos. Years ago i was air chiselling something and a very small piece of metal came off the chisel and struck me in the face. It bleed a lot,but one minute later it felt like someone punched me in the face. I had safety glasses on,but now i use a full face shield whenever i use the air chisel now. Safety first,not last. :)
eric, as always another great video.
Great stuff, I like to see you wrenching stuff since I don't think that I'll ever have all those meter thingy's you use
There's nothing like a good quickie in the mornin'! I was surprised the steel balljoint wasn't frozen into the aluminum spindle, glad it wasn't an all day nightmare.
Good job mate, another happy customer....
Three years old and giving up the ball joints, man what cheap crap! Thanks for the video.
16:00 "I'm not a cameraogripher" yet he plays one on the internets LOL. I'm impressed you get the shots that you do. I frequently consider shooting some videos of the various projects I work on. Deal breaker is always getting the shots, and working around the camera.
You reminded me of my childhood bestfriend that passed away when we were 18. He always used to say shit like "big nasty" or "sexy beasts" 😂
Big nasty to the rescue! Great job Eric!
What a glorious idea combining the condenser w the AT cooler....
Eric I usually put a little WD40 on the ball joints to help with install any comments on that. And thanks to another video like this one the ratchet strap trick always works for me. I also have a plate flush mounted in my Floor with 1/2" tapped holes to put an I bolt and use the ratchet straps the same way to pull down on the control arm when car is on the lift. Thanks again for all your videos.
If I ever build a new shop I would have floor pockets too
I'm not happy. LOL Ya ok I am. Always love the bonus footage. Who do I call to make an appointment. My plow needs a oil change, and the wife is looking for a road trip....
Heck ya man come on down!
Thanks for sharing.
I was like Eric is gonna cut a crapsman wrench in half for that line but you got it without making a custom wrench great video on that ball joint and you didn't even have to weld it in lol!!
DimebagVision I'm just saying I would never cut up a snap on,mac,Matco wrench I own lots of tools from each company and I'd cut a craftsman wrench up in a heartbeat if need be
Been there, done that when necessary.
i love cutting up wrenches. had a old jeep that had a special nut on the stabilizer shock because its too tight to get in with a wrench. well the nut was wasted and i dont own a welder sooooo.... cut the head off of a craftsman wrench put the nut on it slid it up in to the hole and gave her hell
I got a 2012 and I only replaced a wheel speed sensor. I've had it for over a year. Love the car.
Nicely Done.
Eric: You ought to play some sort of music when you break out "Big Nasty". I was thinking a few notes "Jaws" theme would be appropriate.
Anyhow, keep the videos coming. I love air hammer and carnage!
Carnage and destruction. Gotta love it. Big Nasty is the bomb.
Lets get this channel to way more than 100.000 Subscribers. Really nice to watch your videos! When someone asks me if I know a good mechanic besides myself, I tell them your name. Although I live in germany :D
Very good camera work
i see the leak tamer motoYam82 used in his latest video, lol. also, you're a great mechanic, fixing things that you see along the way!
Big Nasty, good stuff but not a welder in sight...great video Eric!!
nice work
good job keep up the good work
Woah there, ear protection needed!! I wish I did years ago as I now suffer from tinnitus from working in an engineering background. It's fecking horrible but I have no choice but live with it.
TheStwat I know how you feel. I have that issue in my left ear from loud music, air tools and jet engines. Younger people take warning ⚠️. Wear ear protection!
TheStwat is that the ringing in your ears? Thought it was normal. Oops. Lol
And eye protection. You only get two and it helps to have both.
Impressive camera work when you zoom through the mesh and get the camera to focus on the transmission cooler fitting
Swinging the knuckle out of the way of the lower control arm was a sweet shortcut to replace the balljoint. I have never seen that trick, thanks Magician E.O. I need a lift, can you do that trick for me? Ha
great video !
good find
Thanks from me and the family from north texas for the videos. I dont usually comment on the tec sites i watch but you are in the top three. It sure would be cool to see some updates on ? Your wife's car?
Cannot wait for your next tutorial.
Bet they dont teach that in the school books.. Good stuff Eric.
Hey SMA I did a few cherokees same knuckle. Service info says replace knuckle comes with ball joint. Thanks for giving me some ideas on what to use to install aftermarkets
Great video, thanks Eric. I usually give the new ball joints a toot of penetrating oil before I install to help it walk easier into the knuckle. I know this sounds dumb, but you really should be wearing safety glasses (and ear muffs) when using Big Nasty. I had a friend get a air chisel bit chip in one of his eyes and lost vision. Your career, wife and kids will thank you. Be safe, not sorry!
That's real talk.
Disappointed you used the good stuff and didn't film it lol good vid always enjoy your stuff and always learning new things
Very helpful
Great vid Eric I may need to come out of retirement so I can buy a BIG NASTY
On 2ed thought naw! Best of luck friend!
Isn't it something that people spend a lot of money on a ride that doesn't come with a dip stick. Good video Mr. O........
There's a dipstick alright.......That's the one that designed this lousy system.
No, instead they use the "lifetime sealed" line of BS, that way the transmission craps out just after it's paid off and costs you $5000 to replace. I'll stick with Hondas thanks!
my toyota is a sealed tranny, so i just take it to the shop at 100,000 miles and flush and go with synthetic tranny fluid and good to go for another 100,000
The elimination of the dipstick is more of a quick way to save the corporation money. Besides the majority of car owners never check it unless its symptomatic.
really cant blame companies for sealing up transmissions....how many times do you hear about jiffy lube or wal mart putting in wrong fluid or sometimes even motor oil in..lol
I always have to turn the volume down at work when I see big nasty comin' out!!!!
Now subscribed to both O brothers on YT!
"There's your problem lady"! So funny
Hey Eric. Great job, working smarter not harder. Why do they leave so much space between the retaining clip and the knuckle?
"The ball joints are wasted. As usual." lol
great videos what psi is your compressor at
been watching your channel for awhile now I'm requesting a toolbox tour if you can find the time looks like you have a nice set up
If they have the same lines as a caravan (most likely similar) I have done a ton of them on the newer vans. As well as those rear heater hose assemblies with the plastic Y pipe that breaks.
I need a tour video of your shop and tool boxes. Well, I do need it, just want it.
Bonus footage of leak fix is the legendary real world stuff. Can't sleep well if those kinds of deals aren't fixed and they make you late for supper all too often.
Nice ! I like that control arm tool ! What's that BIG NASTY's cousin ? LOL !
Haha u got it!
Air hammers do make being a hammer and chisel mechanic feel good, reduces the damage dramatically. Peter
I need to get that air hammer..asap..good video
didn't film putting the snap ring on... which means you never put it on!!!!! just kidding Eric, another great repair. Well done sir!
BIG NASTY SAVES THE DAY AGAIN
Love the eye and ear pro….
I was always taught to install the kotter pin a little different. One tab up over like yours and the other tab straight out and slightly pushed down? What do you think?
I gotta say, FCA's new corrosion protection seems to hold up pretty well. One of the few positive points of this car.
good video eric o Hey eric o. will you ever put out a engine rebuild video? can't wait for the next video eric o
Doubt Eric would do that himself. Not cost effective and would be cheaper to be done out of house.
Were's the rust Eric?
Did you move to Florida?
reat job eric o. I'm sure you beat the book time. if I'm doing suspension work, the air hammer is the first took I go to. I'm sure you do just fine with big nasty, my air hammer is a bit under powered, so I freeze bearings and ball joints. shrink them up a bit and it really helps when installing.
