Hey Y'all not sure what's going on with my audio but its not on your end so don't drive yourself crazy... I'm working on it!! thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
4:00 You actually want to warn it up. Put it in a pot and put on low heat for a couple of minutes. Then pour it into the sprayer and apply. It works so much better.
🤦🏻♂️ Hahahahaha aye cos plastic or rubber chocks work great on ice and snow 😂..... but given I’m no safety Susan..... crack on 👍🏼😆 love the total lack of safety consciousness, that’s pretty much how we do things in Scotland too
And hey, maybe you could consider what my mate Dave used to do with beaters, stick a mattress or two on the ground beside the car, then gently roll it over on its side. Easiest brake pipes and under seal ever 👍🏼
Andrew posted a video a few minutes after you, where he's coating the frame of his pickup. He uses the same product as you. Just put the Fluid Film in a pan and heat it up. Seems to work very good. Have a look at it, starts at 10:00 ua-cam.com/video/xQnbiPNXKsc/v-deo.html Thanks for all of your work you put into making fantastic videos for us during this year! Happy holidays and all the best for you and yours. Greetings from Switzerland
You’re going to want to pull that carpet and check the floors inside. I have an XJ that showed absolutely no rust on the exterior, but the interior floor was covered in surface rust. I’m pretty sure the body of these things rust from the inside out.
8:45 as a glass installer for 30 years....seen this a lot. I think, the windshield leaks. It’s leaking down the pillar and collecting on the floor of the passenger side. Then when you kicked it up. All the water that leaked into it flowed out. Look at the bug on the windshield. Is it an original Chrysler Glass? If it’s not your windshields probably leaking. And up there with the salt. It’s probably rusty underneath the windshield. Just my two cents.
Every video Diesel does involves $3,000 of vehicle repairs but he does it himself and saves tons of money. Camarata did a video today of him doing the truck undercoating as well. lolz
@@N1RKW I typed in “Pakistani Truck”. Their channel popped up. I opened the latest video posted(4 hours ago). I believe that’s the video Wes is talking about. Simple to find. No link required.
I’m not sure if this channel allows links to be posted in comments but I’ll try. Here is the video I think Wes is talking about -> ua-cam.com/video/J6yVpHOSuTI/v-deo.html
Small recommendations: 1. spraying with protective waxes should be done in dry, warm weather so that the wax flows more easily even into the smallest crevices. For emergency car rescue during the winter season, it is advisable to do this at least in a heated garage. 2. The surface should be dry, clean and especially washed of salt. 3. For a longer durability of the protection, it is advisable to apply a hard wax as a second layer to the penetration wax in places where there is abrasion or washing from the wheels. For example Dinitrol 4942. The fight against corrosion cannot be won, but with the appropriate choice of preparations and procedures, heavy losses can be inflicted on the opponent.
I use my Crane truck...but prop it up before going under.... I fixed a rider mower once dangling by the hook..but that was a quick blade repair...more for fun than Safety.... Accidents happen in milliseconds..
He is informative and seems like a legit guy. I don’t know that I have gone back and watched all his videos but I do go look to see if he has reviewed something that I’m interested in. Bought Frog tape yesterday because of him.
Hey matt, if you want a different experience with your installation of your u-joints try taking all the caps off the cross and install the caps one at a time, while sliding the cross into the next one to be installed. I've tried it all in the last 40 years and that's what works best for me. Thanks for the great videos!
Always admired your ability to take risks...and this is another one. Great setup there, Matt. Another great video...keep it up. You're a good Pa guy...one of the best.
1) Верхняя часть --рамки дверей. 2) Верхняя часть над лобовым (ветровым) стеклом внутри салона (под козырьками от солнца) . 1) The upper part is the door frame. 2) The upper part above the windshield (windshield) inside the passenger compartment (under the sun visors).
The water draining out is probably from the cowl drain. That is where all of the tree shit goes and plugs up the drains. You might look for the opening behind the wheel wells and clear and fluid film them. I also agree with the other folks a pressure washing would help. Just redo it in the spring. Make sure you clear the door drains. Also don't worry about the danger you wife's next husband can clean up the stain.in the driveway 🤪
it also could be from the fresh air intake in the cowl. i had a leak there in mine that i just fixed up, but it already rusted out the floor pan. so definitely something to check
Same with rav 4 cowl gets clogged...2015 model... rolla too...bullturds..my old Altima had stainless screening to stop crap from clogging cowl.. after 15 YEARS IT WAS STILL CLEAN.... new cars suck
Mate, this is going to be a wrenching comedy channel, a new genre I guess, and I love it! :-D Your comments are even more priceless as your style of work! Please don't kill yourself by trying to create more of this content, a little danger is ok... Thx a lot for the laughter, atb to Pennsylvania and you and your family! :-D
I have seen the clip with a Lada up 60°, onto kerbside wheels, propped with a 4x2 and the guy sitting in the 'rat trap' welding the rear axle/chassis.... Live to fight another Day! tooSavvy @Lockdown UK
I remember the Works / Factory Lada rally team . When they came to the UK to compete on the Lombard RAC Rally . No frills servicing there car propped up on a spare wheel wedged into an open window . No flashy service areas back then out in all weathers . They were great days . Wow I'm old haha .
Matt . . . the water has accumulated in the cowling because of debris in the drain. It drains into the right side rocker panel, and can be accessed by pulling back the lower left part of the wheelwell liner behind the right front tire. The clogged drain may also be responsible for the rot in the floorboard, and due to the overflow of water in the floor cavity. We love your innovative approach to repair and improvement!
It WILL slide right off! If you slide the whole thing off a cliff! 36mm socket with a 8" extension and a breaker bar. Set the extension in the cradle of a jack-stand and you can pop them right loose... and then you'll still have to fight the dissimilar metal bonding that Jeep is famous for. Rust? That's not rust! That's a factory applied preservative! (Polish the rust off the surfaces before reassembly and coat with anti-sieze or axle grease. You'll be glad you did if you have to pull it again.)
Dissimilar metal bonding is not specific to jeep. All metals do it. Thats like saying rodent damage only happens to toyotas, which is wrong. I've fixed rodent damage on my 01 durango, and have to fix some on my 14 fusion.
I would replace those rotors immediately. I almost got killed when a rotor like that snapped in two from the cooling fins during an emergency braking situation. It resulted in sparks and immediately losing all brakes, pedal went to the floor. I was able to avoid a collision only by throwing the car into a 4-wheel slide that stopped it (with pure luck).
The "International Safety Sally Association" was shocked when your video of undercoating was brought to our attention. We all shuttered as you raised the vehicle, many rushed to call OSHA but were in shock, fainting, unable to speak of the egregious disregard for your safety. The Nosegood sisters required extra snuff & a double martini, but "The Has-Been Auto Repair Bros." were screaming things that I had never heard & I'm sure they can't repeat in church. Oh, Mr. Diesel Creek, OSHA told us not to contact their office again, or they would make us watch your undercoating video until we went crazy! 😂🤣😉
I used to swear by Craftsmen tools, just walk into the local Sears and hand a broken tool to a clerk in the tool department and he/she would go get me a replacement and say thanks for shopping at Sears, no questions or grief about how it got broke.
Back when I was a lot younger, I broke a Craftsman breaker bar that I had borrowed from my grandfather. Walked in to a Sears and was handed a new one without having to explain that I had accomplished that by putting a 4 foot piece of pipe over it in order to break loose the nut on my VW fly wheel. My grandfather was proud as he could be to have the new one because he had the old one since my Dad was a kid.
"here comes matt in a new vehicle" "its dark - how do you know its matt" "because the belts are squealing like all his fleet" .washing the dirt off before waxing it would of been a good shout i reckon. please dont forget the "auto-psy" on the old iron . all the best from lockdown u.k.
I had a ram leaking water from that same spot. The AC drain was clogged and it was leaking back inside the cab. Cleaned the drain out and ran a tube down to the frame with a 45cut at the end and solved the issue for me.
That socket snapped right at " Snap..............on " . Stay safe , I really enjoy the videos . From " saltless " Oregon ( land of new undercarriages after 30 years ) .
Your fluid may well be your "Beater's" heater. Had to change out my heat-a/c to fix a leak just like that one. Ran fluid down into carpet on passenger side then rusted everything below it. I was told windshield, so I replaced it, then it didn't stop and found out it was the evaporator for heat/ac
I have a 77 El Camino. When I changed the u-joints, i had to use heat to melt the nylon locking ring. The grease in the bearing caps got hot , boiled and exploded. I'm glad that didn't happen to you. Also use making tape to go around the u joint to hold the caps in place so they don't fall of while installing the first set.
Do like Mustie1 does, heat up toilet ring wax with the fluid Film, mix together, then spray onto the underside of the Jeep. Then drive down a dusty road to get a liberal coating of dust on the oil mixture then let dry. No worries of rust anymore.
I literally came to the comments section to see if anyone else was thinking what i was thinking. All that salt, Road grime and rust, is now locked in, smh.
@@garymallard4699 Salt doesn't make metal rust. Oxygen and water make metal rust, if salt is present it just speeds up the process. I certainly would have given it a clean first but more to help the underseal actually stick to the chassis rather than the coating of mud,salt and grime that was on it.
**chocks wheels on snow covered gravel** "There now we're double safe" 😂🤣😂🤣 Matt are you sure you aren't my long lost brother?! I love this channel man. Keep up the amazing content and don't let any of the wannabes tell you how to do it.
@@DieselCreek I just showed this video to my wife who is a nurse practitioner. She immediately confirmed we must be cut from the same cloth and then proudly pointed out that this is why she will outlive us both........it's probably true. 😂🤣
I recently purchased a JCB side door skid steer so I’m safer entering and exiting my machine while the boom is in the air. Right before I also crawl underneath something that could surly fall and kill me as well lol. Only the good die young !
When you said “all the safety Sallys in the group you better brace yourself” i knew you were about to do the same shit i would have done😂. The water may be leaking from the cowl, have seen the seam seal crack under the cowl vent and leak water down the firewall and get soaked up by the carpet/mat padding. Sockets names “Snap-On” for a reason😂
1. Heat up the fluid film so it’ll flow better. 2. Use tape to keep offside bearing cups in place while driving cups into the yoke. 3. Great tip on the copper anti sieze.
Wait until his insurance agent see's the part about spraying molten slag all over the combustables on and under his work bench, then leave for a ride. Just harping on ya Matt, great video.
Probably already mentioned. It seems to be a bit cold out so. I'd place the bottles you have in a pot of warm water then get a beer cozy to keep them warm when spraying. AvE quote "bigger the gob better the job"
Hi, an idea for next time. I used stuff like that. It is best to preheat the stuff, especially when it is cold. When it is warm it crawls better in the cracks. And you don t need that high pressure to spray.
Matt you are so right I was screaming at my computer..... Me: " NOW THAT my friend, Is how you get stuff done." lmao. Love the videos keep up the great work.
Thanks for my Xmas present. Don’t know why but that big red dump truck coming at me and honking his horn makes me smile every time. Wishing your family a very merry holiday.
I put the fluid film on my truck but had to lay underneath it, that was fun! Also put it on my atv, dirt doesn’t stick to it! It works by gathering a small amount of fine dirt sticking to the film. It is purified sheep lanolin. Mine lasted around 3 years.
Yes soaking the quart bottles in hot water works great for Undercoating. I used the Wool Wax just 2 months ago. With these Lanolin Products Keep it away from your Door Seals or the Open Cell Rubber will Soak it in & Swell up. Great Videos.
Thanks for all your work. You, Wes, and Andrew are my favorite people to watch. Good people, hard working, imaginative, thoughtful, and easy listening. Best Regards!
Don't know if you know Andrew Camarata but when he's under spraying his vehicle with that stuff he says it's best to heat it up on a stove with low heat
Matt, as born and raised in S.W. Pa. and now a resident of N.C. Pa. I know exactly what you mean about the salt in Pa. I'm an old man but I love watching your videos and am a bit envious that I am no longer able to do the things that you do. God bless you and I personally look forward to seeing your new videos. 👍
"We're about to get Western!" Yeah, Western PA apparently lmao Matt, are you sure you and I arent related somehow? I swear we have the same mannerisms ans thought processes 😂 Also, those wobble impacts, where'd you find em? I looked at harbor freight and came up empty Keep up what you're doing, and Merry Christmas!
Worth mentioning: on my 2000 Cherokee, they ran the brake lines inside the frame rails (so they're not easy to inspect). The body was in great shape, but the brake lines rusted out and I ended up totalling it due to lost brakes. Probably worth pressure testing your brake lines sometime soon, if you haven't already. Or just replace them.
I would have power washed it before and let it dry that way it when you get all the salt that's on there already off before you start putting the stuff on their coat coating
Up here in Wisconsin, we use Bar Chain Oil, the same stuff for chainsaws. 3 - 8oz bottles will do an entire SUV. Always prep and spray in late summer before the first snow or frost. That way dust sticks to it and it forms a complete bond. Ive applied it with a paintbrush to the underside of a pickup bed. We apply it with the same sprayer you would use to paint a piece of farm equipment. Cleanup is super easy with little mineral spirits. Was the pin in the rear hitch Matt? Might look sketchy to others but you got to do what works to get the job done
If you put a bar against the back of the bearing hub and frame you can use the power steering to pop out the bearing with no hammering. It's s game changer on those jeeps.
Bein' 69 years old and having been on the wrong side of logs on the ground, and personal damage suffered by mechanical accidents, I recognize the makings of a world class rat trap. For those who want to criticize, this is the essence of freedom. Get over it.
Matt, get that stuff warm before you spray it. It also helps if you do it in the summer and use an electric heat gun to warm the underside first, helps it flow. Also, did you notice that stupid plastic sleeve on the half shaft, and how the shaft is unsupported where it leaves the axle tube? You can buy after market bearing/seal units to fit in there. They save your inner seals and increase the UJ life.
Dust covers/shields, known in your part of the country as salt catchers. My area, they do as designed, pretty much. We use no salt, just sand and gravel which works very well though it can be tough on windshields after the thaw. They use an anti-freeze mix on overpasses, exceptionally steep grades and bridges. It works for a couple of months, you just don't really want to drive behind the truck laying it down, it is slick when first applied.
I put the 5 gallon bucket in front of a electric heater to warm it up then put the little canister in front of it before I spray. Flows way better. Plus the tips are adjustable for flow. My wool wax kit had a flex tip with a 360 tip on one.
@diesel creek the master window/lock switch provides power and what not to the other 3 doors. I am willing to bet if you replace that, you windows will all work. I had the same problem on my 98 xj. Fixed it right up!
i was under a car hauler trlr when it slipped off a jack & crushed me under it, AFTER my chest had collapsed i was able pull myself out. 4 broken ribs, bruised heart, crushed nerves in right arm & i was fortunate! so what your doing is STUPID!
We get the 1 gallon and a length of tubing. Poke a hole in the gallon and can stick the tubing in and connect the other end of the tubing to the pickup/suction tube on the spray gun make sure it's a tight fit. Don't have to mess with filling bottles that way.
I grew up in Pittsburgh. My dad junked every car he owned at 50K miles. Ziebart undercoat was pretty popular but if you picked up snow from the side of the road to chuck a snowball at somebody you got a salty snowball with chunks of Ziebart.
My uncle had a '79 Trans AM that pretty much rotted itself out after buying it in the 90's. He and my grandpa started tearing it apart to work on it and when they took the front wheel wells off, they noticed it had some kind of undercoating on it. After scraping some off, they discovered the black paint underneath looked like it had just rolled off the factory line. It was odd because none of the rest of the underbody had been coated.
It's a rough life for sockets at Ol' Diesel Creek! Also, I agree, having a cutting torch makes a lot of stuff easier. Something about a 5730° F flame that can melt steel is comforting! Cool vid!
Love it! Takes me back in memory to the Jeep I had as a kid in school. It started as a 1941 Ford military Jeep derelict that was given to me (another story!) and brought back to useful life with a lot of effort and help from the whole town that raised me and my contemporaries. Merry Christmas to you all!
The holes in the bottom of the doors are to allow water that flows in the bottom of the window scraper seals to flow back out of the door. If you blocked them up it will be worth clearing them out with welding wire or similar.

*That's the #1 And Best Undercoating Option!!!*
Only one that will not trap water under it!
That fluid film flows a little better if you warm it up in a pan then pour it in the bottles.
was thinking that :) but great job
Or in the wife's microwave. Works gtreat with caulking tubes too ! Just don't tell her !! 🤣
Andrew Camarata did a fluid film video today and used a camp stove and pan to heat his.
if you use a sprayer with a metal container instead of plastic you can just take the torch right to that.

I have a 77 El Camino. When I changed the u-joints, i had to use heat to melt the nylon locking ring. The grease in the bearing caps got hot , boiled and exploded. I'm glad that didn't happen to you. Also use making tape to go around the u joint to hold the caps in place so they don't fall of while installing the first set.
You need to heat the undercoating first then put it in the sprayer. This is what Andrew carromata does. He warms it up on a hot plate in his garage.
luv this series so far and it never stops amazing me how strong rusty steel/iron stays even after chunky flakes come off
If project farm says it’s good, it’s probably good. Love that channel.
Do like Mustie1 does, heat up toilet ring wax with the fluid Film, mix together, then spray onto the underside of the Jeep. Then drive down a dusty road to get a liberal coating of dust on the oil mixture then let dry. No worries of rust anymore.
Did you hit it with your steam Jenny first? Otherwise it seems like you are encapsulating the salt with your sealant.
Yep..but that is his problem
Locking in the Salt to rot it out quicker....better off not doing it if doing it wrong. .ohh vell..
I literally came to the comments section to see if anyone else was thinking what i was thinking. All that salt, Road grime and rust, is now locked in, smh.
But salt cannot penetrate original underseal
@@garymallard4699 Salt doesn't make metal rust. Oxygen and water make metal rust, if salt is present it just speeds up the process.
I certainly would have given it a clean first but more to help the underseal actually stick to the chassis rather than the coating of mud,salt and grime that was on it.
Much cheaper alternative for rust prevention... diesel+80wt gear oil 30:1~
Adjust to taste😎👍
**chocks wheels on snow covered gravel** "There now we're double safe" 😂🤣😂🤣 Matt are you sure you aren't my long lost brother?!
I love this channel man. Keep up the amazing content and don't let any of the wannabes tell you how to do it.
Thanks Friend!
@@DieselCreek I just showed this video to my wife who is a nurse practitioner. She immediately confirmed we must be cut from the same cloth and then proudly pointed out that this is why she will outlive us both........it's probably true. 😂🤣

I recently purchased a JCB side door skid steer so I’m safer entering and exiting my machine while the boom is in the air. Right before I also crawl underneath something that could surly fall and kill me as well lol. Only the good die young !
When you said “all the safety Sallys in the group you better brace yourself” i knew you were about to do the same shit i would have done😂.
The water may be leaking from the cowl, have seen the seam seal crack under the cowl vent and leak water down the firewall and get soaked up by the carpet/mat padding.
Sockets names “Snap-On” for a reason😂
1. Heat up the fluid film so it’ll flow better.
2. Use tape to keep offside bearing cups in place while driving cups into the yoke.
3. Great tip on the copper anti sieze.
Come with me,
And you'll see,
A wooooorld of OSHA violations!
We don't need no stinkin OSHA
I think you're mistaken I didn't see no OSHA violations here 😅🤣😂😅🤣😂
Wait until his insurance agent see's the part about spraying molten slag all over the combustables on and under his work bench, then leave for a ride.
Just harping on ya Matt, great video.
Probably already mentioned. It seems to be a bit cold out so. I'd place the bottles you have in a pot of warm water then get a beer cozy to keep them warm when spraying.
AvE quote "bigger the gob better the job"
Look at this dude spraying cheese sauce over his Jeep
Sudden urge for some tortilla chips
That is what I was thinking too. Looks like Cheese Wiz...
Hi, an idea for next time. I used stuff like that. It is best to preheat the stuff, especially when it is cold. When it is warm it crawls better in the cracks. And you don t need that high pressure to spray.
Matt you are so right I was screaming at my computer..... Me: " NOW THAT my friend, Is how you get stuff done." lmao. Love the videos keep up the great work.
Thanks for my Xmas present. Don’t know why but that big red dump truck coming at me and honking his horn makes me smile every time. Wishing your family a very merry holiday.
When you first opened that bucket, I thought, "Turkey baster?" Merry Christmas!
Memorial Day weekend 2021, eating Chili dogs and binge-watching Diesel Creek! Doesn't get any better than this.
Coming up in next week's exciting episode 'Flat Matt and his friends in ER'
I put the fluid film on my truck but had to lay underneath it, that was fun! Also put it on my atv, dirt doesn’t stick to it!
It works by gathering a small amount of fine dirt sticking to the film. It is purified sheep lanolin. Mine lasted around 3 years.
You left us hanging ;-). But what was the breakage in the original motor !
Yes soaking the quart bottles in hot water works great for Undercoating. I used the Wool Wax just 2 months ago. With these Lanolin Products Keep it away from your Door Seals or the Open Cell Rubber will Soak it in & Swell up. Great Videos.
" That Tru-Coat is put on at the factory"
@@floatpool8307 Naaah- but I can knock 100.00 off that tru- coat for ya.
Thanks for all your work. You, Wes, and Andrew are my favorite people to watch. Good people, hard working, imaginative, thoughtful, and easy listening. Best Regards!
Don't know if you know Andrew Camarata but when he's under spraying his vehicle with that stuff he says it's best to heat it up on a stove with low heat
Come now....who doesn't watch Andrew Camarata?? Cheers.
My wifey states same thing low heat to warm her up..
It's always .." ANDY..ANDY ..ANDY "* to most viewers...lol

I watched for the Comedy...
Like 3 Stooges but one ...
Matt, as born and raised in S.W. Pa. and now a resident of N.C. Pa. I know exactly what you mean about the salt in Pa. I'm an old man but I love watching your videos and am a bit envious that I am no longer able to do the things that you do. God bless you and I personally look forward to seeing your new videos. 👍
Water might be condensation from the heater/ac, or its your washer fluid tank
This is the best way to test your approach angle too.
I'm surprised that you didn't pressure wash it before applying the fluid film.
better to encapsulate the existing salt against the metal and then seal over it :-)
Wouldn't you just be trapping more moisture against the vehicle in its seams etc?
@@philgrimsey3637 i would make sure it was dry before applying the fluid film.
@@jeffreylehn8803 yep. In the Fall, before it snows and the salt comes out, you power wash the underside. A week or so later you film it.
@@FrankPerkins sounds like a plan.
Project farm is a good channel to watch for great and useful information I've watched alot of his videos and they have helped me alot on projects
"We're about to get Western!" Yeah, Western PA apparently lmao
Matt, are you sure you and I arent related somehow? I swear we have the same mannerisms ans thought processes 😂
Also, those wobble impacts, where'd you find em? I looked at harbor freight and came up empty
Keep up what you're doing, and Merry Christmas!
I think it was a reference to the Westen Champlin channel. He uses a Kubota skid steer to lift his vehicles. Westen calls it a 95 horsepower jack.
@@6point5by55 95 HP jack 🤣 Love it!
Worth mentioning: on my 2000 Cherokee, they ran the brake lines inside the frame rails (so they're not easy to inspect). The body was in great shape, but the brake lines rusted out and I ended up totalling it due to lost brakes. Probably worth pressure testing your brake lines sometime soon, if you haven't already. Or just replace them.
I would have power washed it before and let it dry that way it when you get all the salt that's on there already off before you start putting the stuff on their coat coating
My Cherokee is a 97 with 314100 miles, from VA. Pretty clean underneath.
“Cheap Jeep” sounds pretty good for a name. Or “Cheep”
Cheep Cherok-heap
Up here in Wisconsin, we use Bar Chain Oil, the same stuff for chainsaws. 3 - 8oz bottles will do an entire SUV. Always prep and spray in late summer before the first snow or frost. That way dust sticks to it and it forms a complete bond. Ive applied it with a paintbrush to the underside of a pickup bed. We apply it with the same sprayer you would use to paint a piece of farm equipment. Cleanup is super easy with little mineral spirits. Was the pin in the rear hitch Matt? Might look sketchy to others but you got to do what works to get the job done
Stop getting that Sacred Farmall sweatshirt greasy !! What the heck is wrong with you? What will you wear to Church now? lol.
If you put a bar against the back of the bearing hub and frame you can use the power steering to pop out the bearing with no hammering. It's s game changer on those jeeps.
Bein' 69 years old and having been on the wrong side of logs on the ground, and personal damage suffered by mechanical accidents, I recognize the makings of a world class rat trap. For those who want to criticize, this is the essence of freedom. Get over it.
Nice
It’s his life he can do what he wants. He can be as reckless or as safe as he wants. I would not recommend this lifting method to to others.
Matt, get that stuff warm before you spray it. It also helps if you do it in the summer and use an electric heat gun to warm the underside first, helps it flow. Also, did you notice that stupid plastic sleeve on the half shaft, and how the shaft is unsupported where it leaves the axle tube? You can buy after market bearing/seal units to fit in there. They save your inner seals and increase the UJ life.
OSHA approved 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OSHA?? hahah OHSHIT...
Dust covers/shields, known in your part of the country as salt catchers. My area, they do as designed, pretty much. We use no salt, just sand and gravel which works very well though it can be tough on windshields after the thaw. They use an anti-freeze mix on overpasses, exceptionally steep grades and bridges. It works for a couple of months, you just don't really want to drive behind the truck laying it down, it is slick when first applied.
"Too much is always better than not enough" - Dad
I put the 5 gallon bucket in front of a electric heater to warm it up then put the little canister in front of it before I spray. Flows way better. Plus the tips are adjustable for flow. My wool wax kit had a flex tip with a 360 tip on one.
You never lift your jeep up with na bobcat.... Especially when you own a boom truck
Watched Andrew do his Dodge early this morning. He heated the material on a two burner hot plate then pun in the spray bottle. Worked great.
The Karen’s and Brads, are soiling themselves right about now
@diesel creek the master window/lock switch provides power and what not to the other 3 doors. I am willing to bet if you replace that, you windows will all work. I had the same problem on my 98 xj. Fixed it right up!
i was under a car hauler trlr when it slipped off a jack & crushed me under it, AFTER my chest had collapsed i was able pull myself out. 4 broken ribs, bruised heart, crushed nerves in right arm & i was fortunate! so what your doing is STUPID!
VERY STUPID!
We get the 1 gallon and a length of tubing. Poke a hole in the gallon and can stick the tubing in and connect the other end of the tubing to the pickup/suction tube on the spray gun make sure it's a tight fit. Don't have to mess with filling bottles that way.
I grew up in Pittsburgh. My dad junked every car he owned at 50K miles. Ziebart undercoat was pretty popular but if you picked up snow from the side of the road to chuck a snowball at somebody you got a salty snowball with chunks of Ziebart.
My uncle had a '79 Trans AM that pretty much rotted itself out after buying it in the 90's. He and my grandpa started tearing it apart to work on it and when they took the front wheel wells off, they noticed it had some kind of undercoating on it. After scraping some off, they discovered the black paint underneath looked like it had just rolled off the factory line. It was odd because none of the rest of the underbody had been coated.
it _really_ helps spraying the fluid if you warm it up first.
Andrew Camarata used a hotplate to do this in his video.
It's a rough life for sockets at Ol' Diesel Creek! Also, I agree, having a cutting torch makes a lot of stuff easier. Something about a 5730° F flame that can melt steel is comforting! Cool vid!
Cool, cutting torch the first plasma cutter👍 cuts like butter
Love it! Takes me back in memory to the Jeep I had as a kid in school. It started as a 1941 Ford military Jeep derelict that was given to me (another story!) and brought back to useful life with a lot of effort and help from the whole town that raised me and my contemporaries. Merry Christmas to you all!
The holes in the bottom of the doors are to allow water that flows in the bottom of the window scraper seals to flow back out of the door.
If you blocked them up it will be worth clearing them out with welding wire or similar.
Mustie uses chain and bar oil thinned out with a little kerosene.
