    Agree totally. I've learned so much from eric, it's begun to alter my approach to vehicle diagnosis and repair. Its unbelieveable the level of detail vehicles are designed with today, so that requires a highly detailed mechanic for diagnosis and repairs. Eric does an amazing job illustrating his D&R, and that to me makes this a very addictive PLATINUM channel.

    A very good alternate for silicone is Three Bond 1184. It remains pliable and can take several hundred degrees of heat. The beauty of Three Bond is that whatever migrates out of the gasket surfaces breaks down into very small soft granules that will not plug pumps or galleries or harm bearings. Several builders use it for motorcycle engines and have great success with it under severe racing conditions without failure.

    Agreed 100%, I love the stuff also sold as YamahaBond and Hondabond. The other sealant (in my opinion the correct one) for Transfer cases is Loctite 518 Gasket Maker Flange Sealant. I build and repair a lot of Chainsaws and Three Bond has never failed me.

    Eric says, "This is not a premium channel so you are not going to get premium content." I love this. Many of the *great* artists say this same thing. To make a great film in any medium--theatrical film, television, KZread--you need a dozen or more specialists. e.g. cameraman, lighting, audio, script writer, screen play writer, star-actor, editor, director. There is a distinct Oscar award for all of these professions, since they are all hard and are all essential. The reason I became a monetary supporter of South Main Auto Repair, is that the large team of people who work on these videos are all the best in their professions, and each and every video they make is superb. Of course all of these many people are Eric O. It is an extraordinary thing to watch his output, particularly because he is unaware of what an exceptional act of genius each of these is. In addition the family bits he includes are so heartwarming, and his extreme excellence as a Master Mechanic is a joy to watch. Talk about giving the customer the best you can, and Eric O. is the canonical example.

    Thank you so much! I had my chevy 2500hd with the NP263XHD rub a hole in the case and self destruct. The primary failure was a needle bearing on the planetary assembly. They do make a funny squeal when one of those bearings lock up and spin the shaft while going down the freeway. I was able to order the parts and do the complete rebuild myself thanks to your video. It ended up being about half the cost of a newly rebuilt transfercase.

The only thing I can see that was lost from the deleted disassembly video. Was the verbal interaction from you. I hate to miss any interaction that might make me laugh! LOL! I learned a lot though. Also great seeing Mrs O. Even though it was a short visit. You keep putting up the videos and I will keep watching.

    Good silicone for the case would be "The Right Stuff" - Black. Once applied, it needs to be assembled within 5 minutes. You can fill the case after about an hour, and it seals very well. That stuff holds on tight. It's a pain to remove, but it stays put and won't float off once applied and dried. I just did a timing chain on my 2013 Kia Soul, and the timing cover case needed to be sealed off. It did the trick.

    Don't know if I mentioned it before but I learned myself a tip to keep squeezed silicon from breaking off inside cases and then plugging the oil filter. notice the inside edges of the case halves are really sharp. Chamfer those a bit so they are not sharp. two benefits are they are less likely to cut you and the sealant fills up the "V" instead of squeezing out in a fine ribbon that can then break off easily.

    Like "we" said in your previous video. If you accidentally delete or format the data isn't gone. It's just not indexed. As long as you don't record (write) over the old forgotten data you can still recover it, a process that once started takes no more than a minute. This is why for sensitive (top secret etc, like your porn folder) data needs to be deleted through very elaborate or physical processes when it comes to storage mediums. For instance, if you want to re-use the storage medium you delete the file with a program that overwrites the data with random bytes several times over. Because even if you overwrite data once there's still trace amounts of magnetic or similar fields of the old data. It is possible to restore even overwritten data but that process takes a very long time. And if one doesn't want to re-use the storage medium you shred it in a metal shredder. Depending on how sensitive the data is, shredding can be done to where you have 16th of an inch big pieces of the storage medium left. And if you are really paranoid, melting it down ensures complete deletion. Then there's degaussing which applies such a strong magnetic field that all data wipes irrecoverably which also damages the storage medium. Again, you can degauss several times if paranoid and then shred and melt and send on a rocket to the sun... All depends on the contents of your porn folder. ;) ...... But yeah, a simple format doesn't mean the data is gone. You can recover it really quickly with the right program. Many of which exist as free to use software. So please, next time you accidentally format your card. Recover it before you record on it again.

    Great video Eric! a family member worked for GM and went to Shanghai China to get a "building" to build GM engines in China! go figure. Made in America parts are very hard to find. Vehicles prices sure don't reflect the cheap China garbage parts you get from a dealership. They still sell a vehicle at top dollar.

    Before I could afford a bushing driver set I used expandable freeze plugs and they worked great. The rubber held the bushing from collapsing and the metal disc pushed the bushing in with no damage and they're still under $5 today. Learned that from a 45 yr crusty mechanic when I was a teenager and started working at a garage & now I am the 40 yr crusty mechanic so for the DIY or young mechanic starting out there is my tip I'm passing on. I'll stay watching when I'm not working on cars myself b/c the ringing & beeping is the sound of a busy SMA making $$ to pay the bills and the videos are edited so I don't get it.. Charlie Chaplan would be proud of you for the engine download B&W video & music. Great video as always!

    +South Main Auto Repair Thanks but I pass this credit on to a 70 yr old mechanic named Irwin that showed me so many tips. He taught me if you couldn't afford the specialty tools how to think outside the box and use what you have available so I am passing it on like he did for me. He was retiring about 6 months after I started working there so he tried to teach me as much as he could and pass on all his tricks he learned along the way. He was a great mechanic but he taught me some bad tricks also like how to charge up condensers on the distributor machine and put them on your bench and parts counter waiting for some poor unsuspecting person to come up and grab it and get shocked...simple things amused us. We had an overhead oil dispenser that could pump in 5 qts in seconds and if one of the other mechanics was getting smart we'd fill up their back pocket with a couple qts. We had fun at work!

    I've been watching your videos for some time and they have inspired me to start a little business on the side, since I have a full time job, but I enjoy turning wrenches and getting dirty. Your videos have kept me up to date with scanners and how to use them, plus professionalism when doing the job the right way, and not using the old strip-thread trick. I worked on my friend's 1992 Mustang GT today, after doing some research on the net, and now the word is spreading around. I'll be visiting your site on a regular basis.

    Many people don't realize that the edges on the ID portion of any snap ring has two finishes so to speak. If you run your finger on the inner edge, one side has a crisper 90 degree cut and the opposite side is not as as a crisp cut as the other. The sharp edge of the snap ring is the load retention side. Just rub your finger on each edge on the ID of the snap ring to find it. One side is sharper than the other, and that is your load side. It may not seem much, but I have never heard this mentioned from even the most talented of any videos similar to this one. I learned this in school for Hobart Food Equipment in Troy, Ohio. Grab one to see if you can differentiate the difference. Keep on trucking Eric O!!!

    Watching you install the seals, and you saying to be careful installing the seal so the spring does not jump out. I was taught by an old timer (which is kinda funny because I have been a wrench since the 60'S) to pack the spring side of the seal with grease. This method has worked for me for many years & have not popped the spring out installing the seal.

    More and More Anaerobic Sealant is making its way in main stream auto making. Im not sure I agree with all the hype but if the premise is solid, AKA, if it is a fact that it only hardens under the pressure surfaces. I have seen residual ( the squeezed out product) just as hard inside the engine and outside the engine, just as solid as Ultra Black Grey or other performance sealant (RTV). Anyone else have any thoughts or experiences with these sealants? Thanks for the Videos
