GM's GETRAG 790 Transfer Case: Disassemble & Reseal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- If you own a AWD Chevy Traverse, Equinox, Terrain, Buick Enclave or GMC Acadia then you more than likely have one of these gear boxes in your vehicle. When you see it leaking around the passenger side CV axle you might think it is an easy job. Not in this "case." The entire t-case needs to be split in order to install the seals. Just time consuming is all.
-Enjoy!

*Something went wrong when I tried to publish this video earlier. Sorry about that. Here is my second attempt.* 🤷♂
Now, before I get to many complaints about not showing the removal and install let me explain. My mouth hurts, my tongue hurts and it is very difficult to talk at this moment. I wanted to show you but try and keep it shorter so this is what you got. Until I heal up and learn how to speak again you'll have to bear with me in the videos.
Cheers,
Eric O.
Wishing you all the best Eric , sounds like you have some pretty serious stuff going on with dental and mouth issues.
Anyone who has had the same thing done understands..... Ive had really bad dental work, couldn't talk right, it's embarasssing. Hopefully everyone will bear with you brother!!!!!! On a side note, I laugh WITH you...... as you slightly sound like the grinch 😛
Only the test drive part screwed up, it was all good anyways!
You don't have to keep apologizing for your speech. We can understand you just fine! Anyone who would complain about that is just an A-Hole! Keep doing what you do!
You have gingivitis dude?
We appreciate all you efforts to share your experiences with your audience.
I’ve watched Eric work when he wasn’t feeling good, in pain, or with his mouth like this, this just shows his true dedication to his work and customers
Has a family to provide for
@@safffff1000 very true and I bet they really appreciate what he brings to the table as far as that goes because he seems like such a nice guy
@@calebhopkins23 He is what men should be, protector and provider blessed with a great wife and family who work together
Damn right.
More like his dedication to getting his teeth fixed...Three times as hard when they are all already set...
You are a dedicated mechanic that is trustworthy and gives customers a fair shake, so we don't care about a temporary speech issue. Keep on doing what you do. You are the man!
You're good Eric , you are among friends , all 769,000 of us! 👍
Don't care about your speech, don't apologize for taking care of yourself! Thanks for all the content you're putting out, it's a pleasure to see a honest mechanics work. Appreciate the filming including the little details for us the viewers!
Sufferin' succotash! It's Thouth Main Auto! Hang in there Eric, you sound ok enough. I know your viewers will still watch. Educational as always!
Eric O. doing his thing while supposedly not speaking well is still better than most UA-camrs who speak perfectly, without the occasional muddled word.
I had no issues understanding what was said or done and that's what keeps me coming back and picking up little tidbits of info I can use on the Buick, Ford or Kia vehicles that currently occupy my garage.
Keep up the great work, Mr and Mrs O.
Get well soon Eric. I appreciate how you still try to put these videos out even though you are not 100%. Thank you
I wore an appliance like that when I was getting my teeth straightened as a teen. It takes a bit, but you will get used to it and learn to talk again. A year later, when my appliance was no longer necessary, it took a while to learn to talk again. But, in my case, the effort was worth it and my teeth looked so much better after 5 years of braces and 1.5 years of a semi-permanent retainer at the back of my lower incisors. Hang in there.
Always loved tearing apart something I've never worked on before. Worked 30 years as a millwright and worked on something I've never seen before many times. Always pays to really pay attention as you dis-assemble it.
I am a millwright to and every job was different but the same, worked on turbines.
Thanks for making the video even when you weren’t feeling 100%. It was still 100% quality content. 👍🏻
Use the spreader to your advantage: throw in a few classic lines from Daffy Duck or Silvestre! Keep 'em coming Eric.
When you’re as Professional as You are, you’re Viewers will Appreciate the Job you Consistently do for your Customers that are Very Lucky to Live in your Area, 👍🙏
As someone that had to have a lot of dental done throughout most of my childhood, I feel for you, Eric. I had to wear one of those expanders in the roof of my mouth to force the bones back into place when I was in 3rd grade in 1984. It hurt to wear and I had to learn how to talk with it. Any words with E sounds were a pain. I also had to wear braces for almost 5 years as a teenager. It'll all be worth it in the end though. 💯
Eric, no worries about how you sound. My late father was an orthodontist for 42 years. I've run an orthodontic laboratory for 32 years so I've seen quite a bit. Most patients adapt quickly to appliances and in no time talk almost completely normal.
Eric! We are bearing with you my man. Don't apologize for anything. We all appreciate you and appreciate watching you and the work you do
I have been watching Eric for years now and I have never been disappointed in any aspect of his content. I look forward to every video that he produces and watch everyone. Cheers to you sir and all the best in your recovery.
Watching a master like Dr. O work on stuff like this and continue with his personality in the face of mouth pain is inspirational! Seriously folks, there's nothing like mouth pain - it's next to the brain so there's no lag in getting pain messages sent and received. I also have to say if I were one of Eric's kids, I would love it if I screwed up and got a "talking-to" by Eric... Kinda comical until dental work is done! :) Keep swinging the wrenches Eric, we love you!
Just going to throw this out their, but even Pregnant women agreed that kidney stones were the most painful with child birth being a distance second. So as far as pain goes, stones are the top form of pain.
@@davidmiller9485 I had an appendix rupture. That was far worse than the four kidney stones I've passed, although the stones were their own special kind of hell, too. Think of one of your organs being filled up like a water balloon with fluid until it explodes. That's a ruptured appendix.
@@floorpizza8074 I know what a appendicitis is. My brothers ruptured on the table as they had just removed it. He's also had stones and even he says the stones are worse. Then again pain threshold and individual factors play a part as well. I've had a T-4 to L-5 spinal fusion (72 staples down my back) and while the pain was different, the stones were worse.
You not only talk better than most my friends but you make more sense to boot.
I'm very glad we could all be here to observe your first time! I bet Mrs. O was extremely proud of you!
The shaft insertion looked great by the way.
I can't get enough of the sound effects with the brake clean and the fluid film.
Eric thanks for powering through everything that happens in your life and still providing us with Great content. Hope to adjust quickly and comfortably. I've had my upper pallete cut back and had to learn how to drink again. Best of luck and health
He speaks better than I could, and still sounds better than a lot of people
Thanksssss for bringing us along for your first time Eric, your raspy tones and slick fingers make the experience one to remember.
If this is the new you then I'll take it. I have to admit it put a smile on my face watching you working through the dentistry work. Just like you're teach us how to fix cars, you're also teach how to be humble. The world can use more of that these days.
You're a trooper, buddy! I know this wasn't easy for you and we appreciate you sharing.
3:50 AM East Coast time. I just answered my calling for chocolate milk and toast. I just wanted to see if there was anything exciting on YT, and now I'm hooked till the end!
Wow, Mr O, you're an inspiration to us all. Thank you for posting even when you're hurt, sick or tongue tied!
I used to have an expander and braces when I was a kid. I used to hide the tightening tool so my dad didn’t adjust me at night. I thought I was in the clear until he could get another one from the dentist. He unraveled a paper clip and adjusted it anyway. I was so sad 😂😂 Thanks for giving us videos even when you’re not at your best. We appreciate it, hope ya feel better soon.
I don't know what an expander is but it sounds a little painful, I give you lots of credit for doing a video. Take care 😊
An expander is probably less uncomfortable than an extender, if you know what I mean.🤪
Thanks again, Eric. Even though you didn't particularly want to put this video out, ya' did it anyway. For us.
I’ve always been amazed with GM’s axle assemblies. They are just pot metal castings and generally hold up to all the axial torque and off roading. I’m just old school when we had the Dana axles!
My dad always said “I see said the blind man as he picked up hi hammer and saw!” Thanks for keeping up the video production even though it would be easier to take a break.
That was fun! We saw how uncomfortable Eric was with his speech and we got to see how excited he was to dig into something new that he hasn't done before! Great job and way to show how dedicated you are to teaching us in spite of the new rack you are dealing with...aah...in a most professional manner...Eric you're the best and be sure to call out Mrs.O next time you have some burned gear oil and let her smell the good stuff! That what funny has heck...altho she wasn't too impressed! He He He
I had an arch expander when in high school prior to getting braces and wouldn't you know it, that semester I had speech class. My buddies made fun but I had no time to pay attention to them because of the discomfort. I know what you're going through. But before you know it , it's over. I hadn't thought about it until seeing you here. Believe me, when you get that thing out of your mouth, you'll be talking normal before an hour goes by. Your bite will feel like rubber for a day. What a relief.
I have had a palate expander before, they are super weird to get used to. Especially when eating, I've had food get caught between the roof of my mouth and the expander. Makes things interesting, for sure! Best of luck to you with that, I hope it is successful in doing what your dental professional wants it to do. And thank you for all the awesome videos, you are a great teacher.
I had to clean mine out with a pipe cleaner.
@@vanfalcons that was something I never thought of. Brilliant!
My dentist recommended it. That's how we knew lol
What about a waterpik jet flosser. like a non chemical parts washer on a smaller scale
What about a waterpik jet flosser. like a non chemical parts washer on a smaller scale
Nothing personal Mr. O but I don't think people watch the videos for your perfect, sultry voice. 🤣🤣 The content and knowledge should speak for itself! Thanks for trucking along and providing awesome videos for the people even when it's hard. 😀
Have to give you props. You make pulling and installing seals look way easier than it is. Good work.
“I see said the blind man” who picked up his hammer and saw. Love ur channel u make it easy to learn.
Great video Mr. O. Really like to see you learn as we do on new tasks. You sound like the Godfather of auto repair. Don't let it bother you, you have a great gift to entertain us as you teach us how to repair our vehicles.
impressed by you "ask the blind man, he saw it all". great song by the booth brothers. your speech will be fine. you will still speak differently than you audience from the South. lots of people said I talked like "Gomer Pyle" but lots of people thought I was from Texas but really further east. still enjoy you work but I am not a mechanic. just love how you locally resolve issues which relates to lots of things we all encounter. don't rush through the job, it will cost you in the long run.
I feel your pain Mr O..... I went through the same torture a few years ago....I got so pi$$ed off with people telling me I was drooling or that I sounded like Daffy Duck. Hope it all settles down soon. Top man for carrying on regardless. Thanks for all your excellent content
It just makes you sound like a true southerner, minus the tobacco chew and moonshine.
Keep bringing that quality content and I hope that heals quickly.👍🏾
Eric, just when I think you've successfully fixed every automotive issue out there you come up with a new one and fix it with no problems. You're the mechanic we all wish we had access to. Another great video. And as far as your speech, you could develop a stutter, a lisp, and a room clearing gas issue and you wouldn't lose a subscriber ( although Mrs. O may have something to say about the last one!) Keep up the good work.
Eric, you don’t need to keep apologizing for how you’re talking! We’ll keep watching no matter what state you’re in.
Eric, we all appreciate what you and your family do for all of us! I always learn something from your videos. thank you so very much! Hope you feel better soon!
Very impressed with your commitment to get this dental work done and still record videos, even with your mild speech impediment.
Thanks for hanging in there. I do appreciate your courage!!
I'm almost certain, we would ALL like to hear the "S" song! Mrs. "O" is being a good sport, on camera. You are a brave soul, my man. I bet the kids are having a field day.
My GF lost her teeth because of cancer and talked different with dentures. F people that talk bad on your speach, you still have one of the best auto mechanic channels on UA-cam.
I love my 3.6 and I always do 15,000 mile oil changes on it with conventional oil.
The irony of you using the dental mirror is not lost on us. I don’t think you meant to but it’s fitting it came out today. It needs its own sound like brake cleaner. 😂
The work that you do is absolutely stellar so I don’t ever think you’ll have to rely on becoming a ventriloquist.
Thanks for bringing us along! Nice of you to let Gabby Hayes do the voice over.
You're awesome Eric O...a role model on so many levels! It must be frustrating for you right now, but hang in there...your fans still love seeing your videos, and we are completely empathetic human beings, too. Thank you for sharing so many instructive videos over the years and please keep them coming!!
Nice to tag along on a new repair for you. Glad it went well and appreciate you bringing us along.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I'm watching your videos and blurt out "Yes Sir" right after you check something. Or maybe now "Yeth Thir" 🤣 You are the best. Thanks for all you do.
You don't even have to talk and I'd still watch your videos man.
Don’t worry about it. We love to watch the content how ever you deliver it 😁
Dude, you talk fine. I've had throat cancer a couple years back. The radiation has destroyed my teeth and now I look forward to full dentures. I'll be learning to talk again as well.
God Bless ya.
Hello Eric, what a learning experience watching you replace all the seals on the transfer case even though you were pretty uncomfortable. What's a trooper. Get well soon !! Take care, thanks
Dude, the Brakleen reveal gets me every time! Always gives me a chuckle. Thanks for both the education and the entertainment.
Just wow! Wonderful work and dedication to not only work through the challenge of pain and slightly slurred speech, but put out, edit, and post a video. Your work, your work ethic is an honest testament to who you and your family are. Thank you for the video and the work it took to put out. I pray that you adjust quickly to the slight alteration in speech, I also 9ray that the discomfort is minimal, as well as a complete, thorough, yet rapid and swift healing for you. Much love n prayers, from a couple if hours northeast if you.🙏💜
Brake clean sound LOL. It never gets old!
Thanks as always, Eric, and please don't worry about the spacer. We always appreciate your efforts!!
Dude! We're with you even through your "adjustment" LOL. Hang in there. Just don't try to say "Suffering Succotash!" or "Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore". 10 times. Take care of yourself man!
You sound fine, Eric. Try this: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain." Just kidding. I've been there. It gets better. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Thanks for the video, Eric O. Can see you were hurting, but still put a video out for us. Lots of respect, always look forward to the new videos. Thanks
Hey! You finally used a tool that I have, that hammer! My grandpa called that a dah-dah. Thanks for keeping it real.
Used the same seal deforming trick to get a grip on a stubborn 30+ yr old front main seal. Had to knock in the outer ring of the seal after pulling apart the entire face and I was so nervous I'd slip and knick the crank I shielded it with cut plastic bottle and we both survived
"Give it a little tap . . . . . tap, tap, tap-a-roo". Thank you, sir. I hadn't thought of Caddyshack in years.
Appreciate you putting the effort in to keep producing great content
As the old saying goes " we aren't laughing at you, we are laughing with you 😆 " keep up the great work!
Good on you for getting the grill in for a tune up, you sound fine
went through the pallet spreader as a teen give it a few days for your young to relearn. Greatest day ever was getting it out.
Don’t worry about the dental, just keep making great videos. Love every one.
still absolutely brilliant even on the second go
As a fellow 43 year old male with braces, I feel ya man. Protip, I bought a set of small files just for use in knocking the sharp edge off the ends of the wire in the braces. Been a lifesaver.
Re upload? Or is it my lucky day to get SMA 2x in a day? Either way it's a win. Have a good weekend all!
Yeah, brake clean sound. You don't really sound bad or non normal except to those of us that watch you regularly. On a good note I understand the mouth is one of the faster healing areas. Hope you heal fast. Thanks for sharing even when you hurt.
I was a little surprised by the design, where an outside (presumably sealed) bearing is separated from the oil by a seal. And the lip of the blue seal seemed oddly placed by the factory given where the source of oil pressure is. Maybe there's more to the design than we saw?
I do enjoy a little comedy. Thank you for being a good sport. It's a good man who can laugh at himself. Somebody told me I should learn to laugh at myself because everybody else had BEEN laughing. Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk
LOL @ the brake clean moment! HAHAH!!
17:23 Eric, concentrating hard on doing a meticulous job, is so engrossed in his work that when the car horn sounds, he doesn't even say "Hey, there's that guy!"
Obviously, you weren't holding your mouth right your first upload attempt. Glad you succeeded. Not that I understood anything you said but the fact that Mrs. O is so smart, sharp and attractive is a pretty good indication you're smart. And/or lucky.
Merry 2023!
Great job! Eric O and Mrs O. Love watching you. No worries with your talking, hey we all have our things we have to deal with. I just appreciate you taking your time to continue teaching and showing us the work you do! God Bless you all!

Great job, Eric. I can't imagine making videos with a sore mouth. Thanks for bringing us along on this job
I love going on the road tests when you're finished with the repairs
I see says the blind man and my deaf dog heard it all Always enjoy the show Keep up the good work
I see said the blind man and picked up his hammer and saw...
Don’t be so hard on yourself, your content is educational regardless of your speech. Thanks again for suffering through making the video.
Don't worry about the speech issues Mr. O, just keep doing what you're doing. We appreciate ya!
I love SMA content. I always learn something new. It's always entertaining and funny. I love Eric's attention to detail and it's always great that he explains what hes doing, why, what happened, how to fix it properly. I had to cut the drivers side front lower control arm off an 07 civic as the bolt was seized in the bushing. If not for Eric O I would not have known how to do the job properly, and I always put fluid film on everything now lol. Thanks Eric O lol. You and the lovely Mrs. O have a wonderful day..
I had one of those palate expanders 42 years ago, left a permanent mark on my tongue, hated that "motherlover" thing!
Good luck with it Mr. O!
We all appreciate the time you put into showing the process of repairing cars. You are doing something to better yourself and to make yourself healthier. If anyone wants to pick on you for that it just shows how juvenile they are.
Good job! I am an old Pontiac mechanic from the 1960s, but I could still smell that gear oil clear through your video. Been watching ALL of your videos for several years and enjoyed every one of them. A vast majority of them are very educational, especially videos on electronic issues. Keep up the good work, and I wish you a quick recovery from your health issue.
Icant believe your doing videos and working after that dental work, doesnt sound like fun. Your a tuff sob. Respect from north of the border
Even on bad days your wisdom shines , keep doing what you do . We appreciate it 😎 !!!
No tongue no problem. Mr. O aces it again. Good job Eric and a very good video! Thanks for taking us along.
That accent with the pronouncing of your word now will merit the channel to be an honorary "southern" main suto channel 😀
About Time. We are getting some brake clean action.
Thank you Eric for posting what you can, this video was so relaxing to watch, and your speech is not so bad.
