    I used to have a 2007 Chevy Impala and the rear passenger side TPMS had to be programmed once or twice a year. I had to hold down the reprogram button, let the air out of the front driver's side tire until the horn beeped once, then go to the passenger's side front, rear passenger, and the rear driver's side last which would make the horn beep twice telling me that they were all programmed. I asked a guy at the garage that I take my vehicles to and the mechanics all said that they would do that in some cases. They also told me that they had replaced all of the TPMS sensors for several people who had the same problem and several customers had returned with the same issue so it wasn't the sensors. Videos like this are a very big help when you are an avid mechanic with your own vehicles or other's to troubleshoot and try to diagnose the problem. Thanks for giving people who need some help with an issue that don't have $200-$400+ dollars to throw at someone else to do something that you can get done yourself for much less. Not to mention how many mechanics that aren't on the level milking and basically robbing people.

    My 70 350 Caprice was the best vehicle ever! I towed a 40’ travel trailer from Chicago to Phoenix with it. When I sold it, she had over 300k on the clock. One of those cars I wish I had kept!

    Thanks to the algorithm, I'm watching video again. But it gives me the opportunity to appreciate Tommy's left-handed genius. What a pleasure watching someone with skills who is also a cool dude.

    Aww man watching this gets me emotional. I’m 55, and my dad bought a ‘71 caprice “classic” when my sister was born in’71. It was the first car that I really learned on. It had the “400” (396 bored to 402 ci). It
    also a turbo 400 trans. The “turbo jet” engine had a quadrajet carb. It made 325HP. I know this because I remember the sticker on the air cleaner housing! The “classic” must’ve included “wheel skirts” on the rear quarters, which yours doesn’t have. I loved the rear window and louvers on trunk lid. As a kid I remember it had a fine wire antenna sandwiched in the windshield. I thought that was cool! My family had a repair shop and one of the guys asked “what are you doing with that lead sled?!” First time I heard that word! lol had to be about 1984-5. She was a big girl but she carried it well! So many of the people that this car reminds me of are gone now, but it brings back great memories! Thanks for that!

    Son-of-a-beech. You guys just had to mess up my plans. Not building a car. Building a doubleneck bass/guitar. Was going to spray it vintage white but now, oh man. Emerald Green. My wife is going to kill me and collect some insurance. I once had a bass that was dark green. It was prettly. Now I am inspired to conspire a color change. Not metallic green but a real nice, darker Emerald Green. Okay, wait a second. If my Eagles win the Super Bowl; I am from Philly then I might consider Kelly Green with white appointments. Hmm. That Caprice looks Amazing. My first car was a 1971 Nova. Those cars were so easy to work on and you couldn't kill em'. Love that green and that chassis.

    Brent, that master cylinder cover is slick!! The pedals look good!! Ah, to have talent, knowledge and skills is a wonderultimate thing!! Changing the dashboard would have been an enormous amount of work. Not that you could not have done it, you could have done it. I'm remembering " The General" project. I can hardly wait for your next episode, but I must be patient....Be well, Howie
