right!! I feel so vulnerable when I'm not in SoCal close to him and his shop!

My actuator just failed in the first day when the temperature hits low 10F. Did some research and found this is the best video I could find across the net for the replacement DIY. Much appreciated to you and the Mechanic MAESTRO Mike.

Replacing mine myself tomorrow for the first time, nervous but exited too! Thanks for the install video 🙌

Glad its back on the roads again, looking forward to more videos. Love the quality and your downshifts are the meanest in the world. Keep it up man

Was hoping to see some secret trick to disconnect that hose that sits at the back of the plenum. It almost drove me crazy. I had to use a heat gun and squeeze the living hell out of that clip. Eventually I got it off and as a bonus a tingling sensation in my fingertip for several days... so that's my amateur pro trick; us a heat gun! Love that color, the rims, the stance... just beautiful

These engines are like plane engines, NA, will tick over for 300,000 miles if looked after, pretty incredible the acts went at 34,000! Get those done and the rods and these engines are bullet proof, mines an 08 on 108,000 rods and acts changed voluntarily at 84k.

Very informative!!!

Thanks for sharing this information and so cool to see @TruongMikeMai was able to come up and assist 👊🏽💯 Having removed the plenum to replace spark plugs before, it’s just a few more bolts to remove to get to and remove the actuators. Easy day for this DIY…I hope 😉🙌🏽
