    Great tutorial Sir! One of the best and easy to follow imo 👌🏽 I do have a question, when piggybacking on an existing fuse slot, is it ideal to have a matching fuse amp as the original fuse you’re sharing it with? I know you mentioned a 10 amp is safe to use on an empty slot does the kit come with various extra fuse? Thank you in advance 🙏🏽

    @2:22 "My battery went down to 8 volts." Yet, your car started, seemingly with no strain. So although that battery is technically registering as bad, do you really need to replace it right away? If you did not replace it, how much longer could you expect it to start your car? Because if it will still get the job done for another 6 months, then why start a new warranty on a new battery? Did you replace it because once it drops below 9.6 volts, it can fail at any time? Or it cannot be trusted in cold weather? Something else? I am trying to understand why dropping to 8 volts, and yet the car started with no apparent strain, translates to replacing the battery without delay. ----- I will soon be shopping for a new battery, and I have read mostly good reviews (including yours) on Walmart batteries. But when I put my car's make, model, year, and trim into Walmart's web site, I am presented with 11 choices. They all have somewhat similar cold cranking amps values (assuming those figures are accurate), and the prices range from $69 to $399, and some of the lower cost batteries have the same, or higher CCA value as the more expensive batteries. How is a customer supposed to choose? Which model did you purchase?

  • @dannysdiygarage
    @dannysdiygarage19 сағат бұрын

    Great questions, two quick points to consider, one: you never know where you’ll be when your battery fails, two, all other components are working harder when a battery isn’t working properly

  • @NoEgg4u
    @NoEgg4u13 сағат бұрын

    @@dannysdiygarage Oh. I assumed that once the car was running, and the alternator was providing electrical current, that the battery was basically out of the picture. Can you provide guidance on how to choose which Walmart battery, as they vary wildly in price, for similar CCA power. I saw a review where the host said to purchase the least expensive battery, because the more expensive ones are no better (you are just paying for a longer warranty). The inexpensive one might last as long or longer than the expensive one. It is a crap shoot. So if the $69 battery happens to die in 18 months (out of warranty), then your new purchase (another $69) is even better than initially spending $149, as you might get 3 or maybe 5 years out of the inexpensive battery. Is that good advice, to go with the $69 Walmart battery? How did you choose your Walmart battery model? Which model did you purchase?

    4:32 High compression readings could mean carbon on top of rings which results in pinging. 4:45 Low compression means valve and piston rings. Do “wet test” in each cylinder again after putting 1 tablespoon of motor oil in the cylinder. If compression rises, that means piston rings and valves.
