I have noisy KYB struts for my Buick lucerne. I figured since KYB was Toyota OEM they should be as good or better than AC Delco. Not so much.
Same thought here. Before I picked the KYB, I did look at the Monroe and Gabriel but the reviews were not great. I guess all the US company keep outsourcing to cheap labor countries and the QA went down. I recently replace a Blower Motor and A/C fan motor (see my video), it is still running except it has noise due to lack of lube/oil. It was original installed back in 1989 - 100% Made in USA. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
@@diycheapdaddy2113 I did figure out the problem. the rubber damper that sits between the top mount and spring was not sitting right in a way it kind of squirted up and obstructed the mount bearing. A simple and i am guessing common assembly error. Fortunately i have spring compressors so it was a fairly easy fix.
Good job man 🙏🏽..thnk you
Thanks for the kind words, thank you for watching.
@@diycheapdaddy2113 I literally just put in a new motor...because cust said it only runs when she holds down the start button...soon as she lets go it shuts off 🤦🏽♂️
@@508_Phax it may be the on-off switch. I did check my on-off switch, it works but it did has some burn mark after almost 30 years. I put up this video because the instruction come with the wiring on the Blue wire is not correct or at least not working on my old dryer. When I removed the blue wire, it works perfectly for my model. Thanks for your comments.
Interesting. I didnt even check this because KYB tells you not to adjust the nut. But that makes sense. Thank you.
Hi, Ben, if you have one of these KYB recently installed and it has some random "clicking noise", I would check the top nuts. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
@@diycheapdaddy2113I too just had these installed and clunking clicking sound.
@@noelrmiller I would try to tighten the top nuts and see if the noise goes away. In my case, it works when I tighten it while the KYB shock still installed on the car but I also used some thread locker just in case. Good Luck. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching. Please keep us posted whether this resolved the issue. 👍
@@diycheapdaddy2113thank you. I hope to report success. Some have loosened the center nut as theirs were too tight. So I’ll see what happens!
@@noelrmiller That is very good information. Basically it has to be within the specification. Thanks for the input.
Is this fix your clanking noise? I changed my sway bar links with duralast gold and still same issue just got louder. Now I’m planning to replace the front struts (both) with KYB or Monroe complete struts. And hoping fox the issue. Last resort would be replacing both control arm. 🙌🏻 Thank you for you vid it helps a lot!!
I found out the issue on my clanking noise are came from the control arms. I have 2 videos on it under this account. one for driver side which need to slightly raise the engine and one for passenger side which need to remove the oil housing. Please take a look. After I replaced them, the 09 Corolla ran as new. Thank you for your comment and thank your for watching.
Dealer want almost $2000 and other auto repair shops quote from $1200 to $1500 for changing the control arms for my 2009 Toyota Corolla. Here are the videos: Driver side: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3Zmk8mHfLnelc4.html Passenger side : kzread.info/dash/bejne/emSp0LSLg6XIorw.html Thanks and please let us know how it goes. 😃
I agree with many of the complaints regarding the quality of the video. That said, there was enough quality to help me figure out a replacement fuse and how to approach the problem. My initial problem was that the unit would initially show that the humidifier was working but after running a few more minutes it would default to failure mode with the sad face. It appears that the problem has been solved and I thank you for insights. Time will tell if this is a long lasting cure.
Hi, Ken, thanks for your understanding on my first youtube video. As I mentioned to others in their comments. Nothing will go wrong, did go wrong, from taping /focus setting to downloading/uploading setting. Anyway, hope you able to resolve your cpap fuse issue. I have documented the details under video description. Thanks again for your comment and watching.
It’s a free video get over it
@@johndough1264 Hi, John, thanks for your comment. Since this is my first video, I am very nervous and every time when I talked, I stuttered over words. After some many "cuts"/"re-tape", I decided not to talk and just to get over the video. Anyway, the rest of my videos, I feel much more confidence and it did improved a lot. Thanks again for your kind words and thank you for watching.
Great video, short and sweet. My batteries dropped out and there was no indication how they should go in for + and -, I just copied your depiction and voila, back in service.
Hi, Bruce, thanks for your kind words. I am glad you able to fix rather good working tool to landslide. My should be a classic because it was made in USA. 😁 Thank you for watching.
Hey sir i followed your videos question i have a 2006 toyota corrolla would you recommend change the transmission fluid i recently have p0741 code
Hi, Aneuris, if you click the video description 's MORE right above the comments. I have documented lot of information related to P0741. Please reviewed those. Based on internet, the most common solution is to 1) Change Transmission oil (use Genuine Toyota) 2) if still have code, then Change transmission oil a second time (first drain and fill only remove 35-40%) 3) If still have code after second drain and refill. then you may have to replace the transmission filter (you need drop/remove the pan). 4) If you decide to change the transmission filter and remove the pan. You may as well check or replace the solenoid because it is next to the transmission filter with a wire connection and a nuts holding it. You can also test the solenoid using a battery and it should open and close when it has current. If not working, that is the time to replace it because you have remove the pan. By doing the above, the code should be gone, with the exception you may have a bad connection which my video indicated. If you car never change transmission oil and it is highly the cause of the P0741. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching.
@diycheapdaddy2113 transmission works great no issues, cat have 150,000 miles on it, noticed the transmission fluid is little bit brown , I just concerned because people said don't change the fluid others said is ok I recently purchased the car so I don't know how often they replace the transmission fluid
Cost What does traction A and temperature B mean on tires? UTQG | Yokohama Tire Temperature resistance indicates how a tire mainly performs in high-speed situations. The temperature ratings are A, B and C. Tires with a rating of A will be able to perform at speeds above 115 mph, while tires with a B rating are able to perform at speeds between 100-115 mph.
Agreed but the trend design seems similar when I compared the Original design vs the "2" but may be the rubber material is different now. Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching.
The connector has a tab which you have to press. It is located to the driver side
Hi, Angel, thanks for the information. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
Not clear enough
Where do I buy this fuse?
Hi, Peter. the fuse is listed on video description; however, as some has mentioned, it has been sold out. You can try other brands with the same specification in A mazon or auction site like e bay. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
Great vid. Thanks. Is there another fuse that will work? The Zephyr is discontinued.
Hi Curtis, thanks for the kind words. I believed as long as they have the same specification, it should work because the holding fuse area is pretty roomy. Someone ask that question before and I believed I put another link to it. If you still have issue locate it, I will revisit another brand. May be in auction site like e bay. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching. 👍
You are correct, the green 120C is sold out; however, remember you can use lower such as yellow 100 C but Never Higher. Lower will blow more often but Higher will not blow the fuse which will burn /short out the machine. I also saw the Green except it comes with so many type (all different kinds of ranges for all other applications). Please let me know how it goes. Thanks again.
Glorious potato-vision! Looks like my first videos in 2006. Anyway good job, now do the motor... or change firmwares... etc.
Agreed. This is my video and the setting on the camera is wrong, the lighting is wrong and even the download's format to youtube is wrong. 😭😢
How I find that piece and named
I don't know. I did search through internet but no luck on any manual or part number; therefore, I opened the bottom and discovered there is a thermal fuse on it. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
I hold the reset button on mine and it blinks green, then goes red, but does not go back to green indicating the full reset. Any other recommendations?
I am not sure what happened; however, I would do the old reboot trick (like reboot mircosoft window), remove the the battery wait 15-30 seconds and install brand new battery and then try to reset it near the control console and have the phone on the Ring sapplication next to the contact sensor when paired up Hopefully it works. Also make sure have strong wi-fi signal when paired even your reset may not related to any of the above I mentioned. Good Luck. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks for your comment and thank you for working.
I was given this vacuum. I loved it and then this exact problem happened. Your video shows me that it's probably not worth my time to repair. Thank you for this content.
Hi Mimi I agreed because the way it is designed and placement of the parts are not user friendly at all. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
What tools do I need besides socket wrench?
Hi, Brett, thanks for your comment. if you still have the OEM Toyota hose clamp, then you need a Plier to remove the hose; otherwise, you may have one of the clamp which use a Phillips / Flat head screw driver to open and tighten up. If your radiator hose has not been changed before and even you try to twisted it, it still did not come out then you also may need a (not sharp) flat head screw driver to help the hose disconnect from the engine block or radiator connection. Be careful not to damage anything. Be Patient and go slow. If you plan to do a Drain and Fill of the radiator's coolant at the same time when you change this Pipe Connector then you also need a small pliers to turn the radiator drain cock if your fingers are not strong enough. Be very careful not to damaged drain hole; otherwise, you need to get a new one plastic drain cock or a new radiator if the threads are messed up. Be careful not to tighten that radiator drain plug too much because it will crack because it is made with plastic. I am in California and car does not have rust but if you in cold weather states (salt/rust), I would just leave it alone due to the age and condition of the car; however, it is a judgement call depends the condition of the car and radiator. Thanks for you comment and thank you for watching.
Just FYI. If you plan to keep your car, same part but available in metal ( Aluminum) and not plastic; therefore, the metal connector for sure will last much longer than the plastic and I remember it is only few dollars more. Good Luck.
Would it be in the 190s for other toyota models with denso coil packs? Thanz
I am sorry, I don't know but I think you can compare the number of the other 3 coils. Normally, one go bad at one time; therefore. you can kind of use the good coil's number as a baseline. The bad one is the one has the number which is way far off. If you ask me to guess, I would guess it is Cylinder 4's coil (the one near the brake master cylinder) because I have two Corolla and that is the one goes bad first, not sure why. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
Question will a bad fuse cause the heat plate not to warm up completely because mine's not warming up as much as it was before.
Hi, I would check the fuse to make sure it has good continuity constantly and also the clean contact point (slightly sand it with sand paper) and make sure it is not loose. Also, the plate should not be dirty. If dirty, it does not conduct heat as good as before. I would also check and clean the reservoir calcium deposit if there is any. Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for watching.
how did you get dirt in your transmission
The dirt/water/grease is on the connector outside the transmission. My guess is during daily driving, the oil grease, dust, road dirt and rain water accumulate on the top of the connector and eventually go inside the connection/wires. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching.
My car doesn't start in the cold weather or parked overnight in winter when the temperature is low like below 10°C when I mange to start 2nd time problem doesn't come & Start normally any solution?
Hi, Salman, for my issue it is the related to the starter and I found out it is common issue on Denso starter when the weather is cold, when weather is cold, the high pitch noise just annoying but the car will start. I saw a video related to this problem. You may want to double check the battery is not weak too or your starter may be on the way out or you have a weak connection on the starter wire. Also check your battery connection to make sure it is not corroded. When weather is cold, the Cold Cranking Amp on the battery is lower. On your first start, did the starter turn or not turn, for my issue, start will turn except it has noise when car is cold. Thank you for watching.
Hello, excellent video, I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla, it works perfectly, but when I turn on the air conditioning and apply D or R, the car starts to rattle, when accelerating it works perfectly, without turning on the AA it works perfectly. What do you suggest, thank you.
Hi, Enrique, thanks for the kind word. Since this issue is when you turn on the a/c, I believed it is a/c related. I would check the belt since it added more pressure/load when a/c is turn on. I think it may be related to the a/c compressor. If you don't have cool air from a/c, that may be it; however, I don't know why when accelerating it works and a/c is cold (compressor working. May be the noise still there due to high RPM. Do you have check engine light? When CEL turn on, check that code. May be you have a weak coil, a weak coil would make engine rattle when car is stop and turn on a/c made it run harder. I would check the belt, compressor, coil or even spark plug. Turn on A/C made all these parts run harder. Thanks for the comments and thank you for watching.
@@diycheapdaddy2113 Good evening, could you please indicate what are the resistance parameters of the ignition coils of the Toyota Corolla 2007, thank you
Thanks for responding, if the compressor works, the check engine light is not on, I would like to know the resistance ranges of the ignition coils of the 2007 Toyota Corolla, thank you
@@enriquehernandez8652 Hi, Enrique, I don't have the specification on 2007 Corolla and the video is based on 2009 Corolla 's coil which has a different engine (2ZR-FE). Normally, when the coil goes bad, it starts with 1 and then the other 3 is not that far behind. I think you can compare each one and see which one is really out of range or slightly bad. What I think is some parts is near fail condition but when you put more gas to it, the symptom still there except it is not that noticeable due to high RPM. I think eventually the CEL will turn on and you can identify that issue by the code. You may also check the engine mount, fuel injector, fuel pump/fuel filter because those are the part about time need to be replaced and can cause rattle but when engine is rev up,, it covered it. If your a/c is cold then the compressor is fine. You can also start monitor the coolant level (head gasket) and engine oil and see whether it is lower or gone for no reason. Basically when a/c is turn on,. it put extra load on lot of parts which is slightly off the limit but which one is what we try to find out. If you able to identify the issue, please update the comments here so that we can learn something new. Thanks again for your comments.
@@diycheapdaddy2113 Hi, I already checked Gasoline pump and filter both Ok, I replaced the spark plugs, I did maintenance on the injectors, maintenance on the throttle body, I tested the coils following the instructions indicated in your video and according to measurement the results were the following: 200k 2000 1- 34.5 .355 2- 35.4 .367 3- 34.6 .355 4- 06.7 .995 Coil 4 is not original denso, it was a replacement that I placed 1 year ago when the original one was damaged, I am going to locate 1 original to replace and I hope it improves, otherwise I will have to measure compression in the cylinders, thank you very much for your attention, if you have Any other suggestions, grateful.
Thank for the nice Video 🎉
Hi, Sanjith, thanks so much for the kind words. Appreciate you watching the video. 👍

Hi, Mario, thank so much for your comment and thank you for watching.
Hello Cheap Daddy, did you P0741 code ever come back after cleaning the solenoid connectors? I saw your video from 2 years ago and am wondering if your code ever came back. My check engine light comes on but then turns off and on again, after a few days of driving.
Hi, JZ the P0741 did not come back and the car even pass smog in California (no check engine light). If you able to unplug that connection, please make sure all the contact is clean (not corroded) (may need slightly sand all the contact for better conduction) and clean it good and then when you put that back, it should have the "click" sound which means it is two connection is tight as designed or the it is locked up. I suspect the issue is the switch connection wire contact or switch itself is loose; however, based on internet, P0741 can be transmission is dirty and the solenoid itself may be bad (there is a small hole on it and it can be slightly clogged). If you go to that P0741 video description, it has lot of details on it such as part number on solenoid...etc Good luck, please let me know how it goes. Thank you for your comment and thank you so much for watching.

Hi Mark, I appreciate your kind comments and encouraging words. Thank you so much for watching.
The thermal fuse you have linked to is unavailable. Do you have other recommendations? Thanks.
Zephyr is a good brand but it seems like it is not available. I believed you can try other brand provided they have the same specification as your CPAP. Normally they are rated around 100C to 120C. There is another popular brand in amazon with good review is under "Hilitchi" but it comes with 85 pieces with all different kind of range from 100 C to 280C. I doubted you need 85 piece but if you have coffee pot, portable heater, toaster fuses, electric iron blow out all the time then It can be very handy. I have not try this "CompStudio" brand but it seems like it may work, please double check with your specification. Amazon's "CompStudio 5Pcs 100C Celsius Circuit Cut Off Temperature Micro Thermal Fuse 10A 256V". Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching.
I tried this and the tire gauge still didn’t work. On a closer examination of the batteries under the board, noticed the Shorting bar under the batteries was broken down the middle. Wasn’t worth the repair.
At least you try and give it a second chance. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching. BTW, is it possible put a wire in between and soldering it back together, make this a challegege.

You are very welcome. I am glad it works for you. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.
Son of a gun !!! I can't believe I didn't find this video sooner. I replaced struts in Sept '22 and have been trying to find the source of the rattle for at least past 8 - 10 mos!!! I suspected a broken KYB strut on the passenger side b/c already replaced the stabilizer link and even a top engine mount. I took all the Windshield wiper assembly out twice thinking I may have forgotten to tighten something or left a tool in there or something. I just ordered a replacement strut from RockAuto and expect them to replace by warranty.
I believed the replacement KYB Strut's nuts are torque correctly then but KYB really need to add some packing material inside the box rather than ship without any protection. When I asked my wife for help to locate that sound inside the car (i.e. things in Glove Box)., she say just turn up the volume on Radio's Rock Station.😁 Notes: I have lot of fixes on Corollas, please feel free search for those videos under this channel. Thanks for your comments and thank you for watching. 👍
@@diycheapdaddy2113 So I called KYB customer service tech support today and he told me that it should be part of the installation to "re-torque" everything, including that nut. I said I thought the whole purpose of buying the subassembly vs just the strut was to not have to do anything but bolt it in place, why should I have to torque a nut that was part of the subassembly that's not involved or touched in the installation? He said 'there's some settling', lol. So when I buy a new car, should I torque everything before driving and then maybe a again a few weeks later? Settling? How about torque it properly at the factory and loctite it? Translation: the replacement unit I bought to fix this issue I'll have to pay to send back to RockAuto and there won't be any KYB warranty. I have half a notion to just take the time to install the new unit and send the old one back to them and take my chances on getting the warranty refund.
@@xsnrg Very good point to FYB but I also don't recall there is any instruction to re-torque except it may have a warning label saying that nut cannot be removed. In additional to that, one of the reason I bought KYB instead of Gabriel or Monroe is KYB still somehow or 50% made in USA because KYB struts stated "Foreign /Import parts used - Assembled in USA". Good you call them and hopefully, they can route back to management on adding packaging and the re-torque instruction. Shipping bulky struts back and forward and considered those are defects because of a loose nut is crazy for both customer and company. Thank you for your comments so other can learn about it. (i.e. Rockauto charged shipping for return).
@@diycheapdaddy2113 What are the correct torque values?
@@albowrx I have written down as 35 ft lbs when I tighten the nuts and it works. According to site specification for Toyota Corolla, it is 29 ft lbs. Here is the details on all the specification torque on most of the parts for my 2009 Toyota Corolla. Thank you for your comments and thank you for watching. toyota-specs.com/cars/2009/corolla1.8/torque-specs_front.php

are they interchangeable? or they has to have the same number of teeth?
Sorry for the late response. I have mixed information from internet on the starter teeth/gears; therefore, I am using the official Toyota website on the replacement parts which is the TYC 's 9 teeth. I also double checked my car's VIN number, Toyota Engine's Model number and engine's serial number and the TYC is the correct part number. The car started right away and without any high pitch noise after I replaced with the new TYC starter. Also, during installation, I check the flywheel and it looks fine. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching.
@@diycheapdaddy2113thanks for the info. so therefore I must see to it that they got the same number of teeth before buying a new one. just to be sure everything will work fine.
@@caloyp4474 Hi, Caloy, Correct. I would do both to verify. Your new starter teeth should match the old starter teeth; however, if they don't match (like my case), I would follow the OEM specification by compare the VIN, engine block model number, engine serial number. (like in my case, I use the new official spec - TYC). Now, this is my best guess. I bought my Corolla Used and I think the prior owner or that auto shop may use a different part by mistake (L, LE, XLE, XRS (Sport)..etc) OR somehow, the rebuild/re-manufacture/re-certified shop "may" be rebuild with a slightly different gear by mistake or somehow labeled it incorrectly (Auto Zone, Kragen, Pep Boys...) Hope yours old starter teeth match the new one and have a peace of mind. By the way, I am so glad, the flywheel looks ok and not missing teeth or have grinding spot. Thank you for watching. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend. 😁
Good question
Thank you so much!! exactly the information I needed and well organized. THANKS!!!!
You are very welcome. The instruction came from the motor is not that good and it should mention if your dryer made before certain years do this; otherwise, do that. Also, the instruction paper seems to be photo copied thousand of time by a kid 😁. Thanks for the your comment and thank you for watching.
What did it end up being mine does same
It is the starter and I did not change it for quite a wait and the starter still working fine except that embarrassing noise. I have a video under this channel on how to replace it. No more high pitch noise now. Thanks for your comments and thank you for watching.
Some reason you can’t talk? Explaining would be very helpful. Also. What size fuse? What type?
Hi what if there is no readings in terminal 1 and 4?? Does that mean the ignition coil is bad??
Interesting. I think they should but the number may be way off than the good coil; however, I would clean it and sand it down on metal to have good contact but if it is still no number, it may be it is a bad coil due to contact broken inside the coil. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching
