You caught that low torque on those lugs I was going to say it has to be at least a hundred. And also I understand you have to put the tire down but you don't want to put weight on those tires until they're fully torqued. You'll get different readings with the weight of that vehicle on those lugs. If you put it down just enough to cause it to not spin and then torque it they get torqued evenly
I'll tell you a great way to sell more work. When the client comes to pick up their vehicle, just give them a write-up of what needs to be done. People don't trust mechanics but giving then knowledge, without the pressure of spending more will have them coming back.
That’s wild people living that close to sanitation burns / whatever you wanna call them lol that’s the sad truth of modern life big cities getting bigger pushing people out smh. Anyways solid content as always my man
11:06 Awesome Content! 🎉 How much does everything cost? How long will it take to do everything? (Wheel bearing, motor mounds, brake fluid, etc.) I have a 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500 LT 5.3L Flex-Fuel. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Alex know what is up with steri-cycle that ish stinks so bad i use to work next to one at a hospital and it is such undescribable stench but what is weird 1 night I went on a night walk thru the Suburbs housing neighborhood and I smelled that unmistakable stench of a steri-cycle but there was no hospital around there for Miles someone has a serial killer with a steri-cycle machine in there backyard
Man it smells HORRIBLE! A steri-cycle employee told me they burn body parts and dispose of hospital waste. Like if someone gets an arm amputated, it goes to steri-cycle or like anything that has blood and was disposed by the hospital. That’s what he told me. I hate that smell!
@@AlexTheCarDoctor yes indeed I worked at our local hospital where I live for 15 years and our department was right next to the Santi pack and yes they do cook all the blood guts amputated extremities etc. and that was a smell I couldn't ever get used to smelling and if there ever was/is a hell I would imagine that would be the smell of it the bowels of humans and then some. I was surprised to hear Alex the car doctor mentioned it
And the individuals who Job it was to collect and run the sani-pac when they would open the door they would be just standing there like nothing was wrong breathing in the steam like it was 🙏a Vicks humidifier
It wasn't the boot. I saw it pop up and down when you pulled on the knuckle. From your POV you couldn't see it, but the camera did. Sorry a screenshot wouldn't show what I'm talking about, or I would have. He probably would have declined the extra work anyway.
Alot of Good info in this one the Way, Alex The Car Doctor Breaks things down, is extremely helpful like the little details and facts on certain things. And even little things that if hes off he puts a edit over and corrects it, now I'm not a mechanic 🧰 but after watching a lot of these videos, it kind of seems as if the engineers of certain vehicles Make it more challenging on mechanics. I could be wrong though, thank you for the content learning something new everyday 💯
The owner of that Yukon, left the motor mounts like that? Yeah, the bearing is important too, but he, or she better take care of those mounts sooner than later! That’s an easy job for your shop too👍 Wow, I can’t believe how people neglect their vehicles.
i see you got that quinn torque wrench people sleep on them! i did my DOD delete kit using the quinn, it has angle torque and everything! Also love the consistancy keep up hustle !!
6 videos in 10 days is uncharacteristic of you. SALUTE!! Keep the GREAT content coming AL.
Thank you for noticing. My wife and I are really trying our best to ramp it up. Thanks so much for your support 🙏🏽
i dont know why but that didnt look like 130 ft of torque

I would have done the motor mountd as well. I know its more money but woman is asking for problems.

Give them the video of the diagnostic that you did on the car

9 & 3 for tue rods, 12 & 6 for wheel bearings, prybar for ball joints. Good rule!
brake caliper holder you mean a ziptie lol watching you struggle using that tool designed for it was rough
Just suggestion for a big sign on the walls that check all and all vehicle before driving just saying

Did you ever retrieve the caliper hanger?
I’ll let this man and his shop work on my vehicle anytime. Love his diagnostics and explanations of things. Pretty open and honest about his work.
13:10 ball joint issue.
I saw a bad ball joint when you first rotated the steering. 😦
Lower
13 mins and 10 sec in, if you want to check. The camera was at just the right angle to pick it up.

If only engineers and mechanics could collaborate, the world would be a better place! Thanks so much for watching 😁
speaking of wheel hubs I had to do this on my 2005 Lesabre, Similar process. If this was 4wd im sure it would have been a challenge
28:15 put your wheel back! Never mind that caliper hanger!! Did you ever got the caliper hanger back?? Anyways nice job!!

Great show..I didn't see any loctite put on those bearing bolts tho and and why no brake clean on that rotor? ....
Yes, the original Flintstones, that Barney Rubble, what an actor. ;-)
i see you got that quinn torque wrench people sleep on them! i did my DOD delete kit using the quinn, it has angle torque and everything! Also love the consistancy keep up hustle !!
Needs motor mounts but I don’t see we’re it’s pulling the harness
Alex you are a lucky guy, here in northern Ohio we have to beat on those bearings for a half hour, lots of cussing involved
Man this guy straight up with hes customer no other way boss love watching your movie 🙌
Everything went well, but there is a torque spec on them caliper bolts 😂
Did you get your green brake hanger back.?
Lol I was asking the same thing! He put the wheel back and that hanger stay behind!!
You forgot to remove the caliper hanger..
Dam it’s 718 And you at work already
Another video Alex and Mrs Alex
Brakeclean on rotor! Grease all over rotor, and now on old pads!
Nice job! Excellent repairman!
Truck has a nice dash skin on it
Great vid sir.
I want ask ? Why is it that nobody is buying cars right now
Car prices have gone up along with everything else. People are struggling and just can’t afford it
👍👏

😂 I feel ya man! I’m just trying to deliver y’all this content. I’m about to grab me a cup right now!
Good inspection 💯💯💯
Alonzo! We see you! Thank you for your support 🙏🏽👨🏽🔧🩺
What about the motor mounts?
He didn’t wanna get it done
🔧✌️🔧
LAKES!!!!!!!!! 👨🏽🔧
If the wires was coming out. Your hand would be f up
Good video, don't forget about using blue thread locker on the (3) hub mounting bolts and on the (2) brake caliper bracket to spindle bolts.
Good tech tip to check tire before test drive.
